• Age Requirements. You attest that you are at least 18 years old to participate in our programs/services.  We do not intend for our program(s) to be used by individuals younger than 18.  If you are not 18 years old, you must obtain parental consent to participate in our programs/services.  By participating in our programs/services, you attest that you are at least 18 years old.  If you are under 18, your parent or guardian will need to sign this liability waiver on your behalf.   
• Participation Risks. You understand that there are risks in participating in any Pilates or other exercise program.  You may be at risk for injuries, including but not limited to tendinitis and muscle strains, back or neck injuries, paralysis, cardiovascular events or even death. You may experience muscle soreness from working muscles that are weak or deconditioned. If an exercise requires balance, you could be at risk for injuries sustained from falls.  
• Equipment. When using exercise equipment, such as weights, Reformers, resistance bands or therapeutic balls, there are always risks that the equipment may malfunction or fail, potentially causing injury, especially if it is not properly used.  You accept this risk and agree to waive all liability against us for equipment malfunctions and failures.   You are also responsible for the maintenance and safe use of any equipment you use at home. 
• Physical Condition. You represent, warrant, and agree that you are in good physical condition and have no disabilities, impairments, or medical conditions that prevent you from engaging in an exercise program.  If you are under the care of a physician, you attest you have obtained medical clearance from your physician to participate in our programs/services.  Your participation in our program/services is solely at your own risk whether you obtain medical clearance or not.  You knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, and assume full responsibility for your participation.  
• Not physical therapy or medical advice.  Our Pilates and other fitness/exercise programs and services are intended for general strength and conditioning and are not intended to be medical or physical therapy treatment or advice.  Specifically, our Pilates for Scoliosis exercise program is a standard Pilates core strengthening program with instructions on modifications for people who have scoliosis to enable successful participation in a general Pilates program.  It is not intended to be a prescription Pilates program to treat, reduce or change your scoliosis.  We will not advise you on how to manage any pain or symptoms you may have that is associated with your scoliosis (or any other medical diagnoses or dysfunctions).  If you are seeking medical or physical therapy advice or treatment for any pain or medical diagnoses or conditions, including but not limited to scoliosis, we can see you as a physical therapy patient through our sister company, Mindful Movement, LLC or refer you to another therapist of your choice for a thorough examination and treatment.   
• No guarantees. We do not claim that our Pilates or other fitness/exercise programs and services, whether provided through a group or individual session, will result in any particular or specific therapeutic, performance or other outcome.
• Online Program Issues. If you participate in an online program/session, you acknowledge and accept the potential technology risks of participating in an online program, including but not limited to the risk of (1) interruption of the audio/video link, (2) disconnection of the audio/video link, (3) video that may not be clear, and (4) potential of unauthorized access to the live or recorded session.  We are not responsible for these or other technology problems and will not provide any refunds for online sessions.
• Social Media Implied Consent. If the program you participate in is an online group session, we may record the session and post it on social media sites or our website. We may also use it for other promotional purposes or training.  If you do not want your image to be recorded, you should block or turn off your webcam.  If you do not block or turn off your webcam, you are consenting to being recorded and allowing us to use your image in our recording for any legal purpose at our discretion without any expectation of attribution or compensation.

• Payment and Cancellations. You agree to pay in advance of your scheduled class or session. For online sessions, you are expected to log-in per our instructions at your scheduled time.  If you log-in late, it will take time away from your scheduled session because we still have to end your session on time.  We do not provide refunds for any lost time during a scheduled session because you failed to log in at the scheduled time. If you need to reschedule an individual session, you must give at least 24-hours-notice in advance.  If you cancel with less notice, you will forfeit the payment made for the scheduled session.  If you pay for a live group session but fail to participate, you forfeit the fee for the session.  We will not provide refunds for any scheduled sessions that you fail to attend.

You agree, on behalf of yourself and your heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, to assume these and all injury risks and waive all liability against Scoliologic LLC, its officers, members, employees, subcontractors, agents, assigns and other participants and sponsoring agencies (“Releasees”) for any and all claims, lawsuits, damages, liability, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, for any personal injury or personal property damage claims, disability, death, or loss or damage to person or property, whether arising from the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
