Liability Waiver

THE OPENED DOOR PILATES STUDIO LIABILITY WAIVER, RELEASE, AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING. THIS DOCUMENT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. 1. VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION. I am voluntarily participating in Pilates classes, sessions, and related fitness activities (the "Activities") offered by The Opened Door Pilates Studio of Weatherford, Texas (the "Studio"), whether in the Studio, online, or at any other location. 2. ASSUMPTION OF RISK. I understand that Pilates and other physical exercise involve inherent risks of injury, including but not limited to muscle strains, sprains, tears, broken bones, injuries to the back, neck, and joints, heart complications, and, in rare circumstances, permanent disability or death. I understand that the Activities include the use of specialized exercise equipment, INCLUDING THE PILATES REFORMER and its springs, straps, carriage, foot bar, and related apparatus, as well as other studio equipment and props, and that improper use of such equipment increases the risk of injury. I knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of the Studio or others, and I assume full responsibility for my participation. 3. MEDICAL FITNESS. I represent that I am in adequate physical condition to participate in the Activities and have no medical condition that would prevent safe participation. I have consulted, or have had the opportunity to consult, a physician regarding my participation. I agree to inform the instructor before class of any injury, condition, or pregnancy that may affect my participation, and to stop exercising and notify the instructor immediately if I feel pain, faintness, dizziness, or discomfort. I understand the Studio's instructors are not medical providers and that nothing offered by the Studio is medical advice. 4. RELEASE AND WAIVER. In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and next of kin, HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE The Opened Door Pilates Studio, its owner(s), instructors, employees, contractors, and agents, and the owners and operators of the premises and of the Studio's website and booking system (together, the "Released Parties"), from any and all claims, demands, losses, and liability arising out of or related to any INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, or loss or damage to person or property associated with my participation in the Activities, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES OR OTHERWISE, to the fullest extent permitted by Texas law. 5. INDEMNIFICATION. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claims brought by me or on my behalf arising out of my participation in the Activities. 6. PHOTO AND MEDIA. I consent to the Studio storing a photograph of me in my client account for identification purposes. Any use of my image in Studio marketing requires my separate consent. 7. ONLINE CLASSES. For classes delivered online, I confirm that my exercise space and equipment are safe and suitable, and I assume all risks of exercising at my chosen location. 8. MINORS. If the participant is under 18 years of age, the undersigned parent or legal guardian agrees to all terms of this Agreement on the minor's behalf and represents that they have authority to do so. 9. GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. 10. STUDIO POLICIES. I acknowledge and agree to the Studio's booking policies: (a) classes are purchased in packages that expire thirty (30) days from the date of purchase unless otherwise stated; (b) introductory packages must be started and completed within the introductory windows published by the Studio; (c) clients may book one (1) class per day; (d) classes are 45 minutes and I should arrive approximately 5 minutes before the scheduled start time; (e) bookings cancelled inside the Studio's posted cancellation window are returned to my package but incur a late-cancellation fee (currently $15) which I authorize the Studio to charge to my card on file or collect at my next visit; and (f) the Studio's current policies, posted on its website and in the booking system, may be updated from time to time. 11. ACKNOWLEDGMENT. I have read this Agreement, fully understand its terms, and understand that I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue. I sign it freely and voluntarily, and intend my electronic signature below to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law.
