The arbiters will be the elders of Grace Bible Church of North County. If one or more elders of
Grace Bible Church of North Countyis a party to the dispute, then the three arbiters will be
selected from the elders of churches in the Fellowship of Independent Reformed Evangelicals
(nationwide), with each party to the dispute choosing one arbiter, and the two arbiters then
selecting the third. It is expressly understood that, by consenting in advance to arbitration, the
counselee is waiving his right to trial in the civil courts.

Cancellation Policy: We do not charge for counseling, but we do charge if you do not show up
for an appointment. We would appreciate a 24 hour notice to let us know you will not be able to
make your appointment. If that happens, we will not schedule you for another appointment
until we receive a check for $30. The reason we must dothis is that some of our counselors
travel a long distance to get here. Their time is valuable and we want to be sure not to waste it.
The simple way to avoid this problem is to calland change your appointment as soon as you
know you willnot be able to keep it. Thank you for your cooperation.
