Terms and Conditions

Participation Waiver & Liability Release

Terms and Conditions – Breathwork

 

Overview

Breathwork (“the Activity”) is a system of guided actions which can result in intense physical

and emotional release. Breathwork is a transformational process that combines an ancient two-step breathing technique with contemporary, upbeat, positive music to create an incredible physical and spiritual experience. It is a simple, safe, and extremely effective process for experiencing breakthroughs and optimal wellness in your life. Breathwork is an active breathing process that differs from most traditional meditation and mindfulness practices. Most people report it is unlike anything they’ve ever experienced before.

 

This work is deeply experiential and may involve intense physical, energetic, and emotional release. Therefore, persons with a history of cardiovascular disease, including angina or heart attack, high blood pressure, glaucoma, retinal detachment, osteoporosis, significant recent physical injuries, or surgery should not participate in the Activity.

 

Breathwork is not advised for persons with severe mental illness, bipolar disorder or psychosis, seizure disorders, or for persons using major medications, or persons who are under the influence of legal or illegal drugs to the extent that their capacity is impaired. It is also unsuitable for anyone with a personal or family history of aneurysms. Pregnant women are advised against practicing Breathwork without first consulting and getting approval from their primary care physician. Persons with asthma should bring their inhaler and consult with their primary care physician and the Breathwork class facilitator. Persons with infectious or communicable diseases are asked to avoid attending a live in-person Breathwork class due to the nature of group breathing. Breathwork work is not therapy and does not substitute for psychotherapy.

BINDING ARBITRATION In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement or the Program (each, a “Dispute”), either party may elect to finally and exclusively resolve the dispute by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). Any election to arbitrate, at any time, shall be final and binding on the other party. IF EITHER PARTY CHOOSES ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL, EXCEPT EITHER PARTY MAY BRING ITS CLAIM IN ITS LOCAL SMALL CLAIMS COURT, IF PERMITTED BY THAT SMALL CLAIMS COURT RULES AND IF WITHIN SUCH COURT’S JURISDICTION. ARBITRATION IS DIFFERENT FROM COURT, AND DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS MAY ALSO BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. All disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator selected jointly by the parties, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by JAMS pursuant to its then current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined

Arbitration Rules and Procedures. All applicable JAMS’ rules and procedures are available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in the United States county where you reside. The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration. As set forth in Section 8(J) below, nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Company from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect its proprietary interests.

 

CLASS ACTION WAIVER Participant agrees that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

 

EQUITABLE RELIEF Participant acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of the Company’s intellectual property rights and confidential and proprietary information by Participant, the Company will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce these Terms and Conditions. The Company may, without waiving any other remedies under these Terms and Conditions, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect its rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above. Participant hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the State of Washington for purposes of any such action by the Company.

 

MERGER CLAUSE These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements or understandings, inducements, or conditions, express or implied, written or oral, between the parties or any other entities.

 

SEVERABILITY In the event that any provision contained within these Terms and Conditions shall be deemed to be severable or invalid, or if any term, condition, phrase or portion of this agreement shall be determined to be unlawful or otherwise unenforceable, the remainder of these Terms and Conditions shall remain in full force and effect, so long as the clause severed does not affect the intent of the parties. If a court should find that any provision of these Terms and Conditions to be invalid or

unenforceable, but that by limiting said provision it would become valid and enforceable, then said provision shall be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.

 

COMPLIANCE WITH LAW The parties shall comply with all applicable laws in performing these Terms and Conditions. Whenever there is any conflict between any provision of these Terms and Conditions and any applicable law, the applicable law shall prevail.

 

NO WAIVER The failure of any party to insist on the performance of any obligation hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such obligation. Waiver of any breach of any provision shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or any other provision.
