The term “Claims'' shall include any and all liabilities, claims, demands, actions, damages, rights of action, and causes of action, of whatever kind or nature, that may now or hereafter exist or arise, arising out of personal injuries, losses suffered, and damages of any kind (including but not limited to direct, indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, or any other damages), including those known and unknown, developed or undeveloped, and foreseen or unforeseen, relating to or caused by Participant’s participation in the Retreat.
Participant agrees that this waiver and release shall be legally binding upon them personally and their family, estate, heirs, successors, and assigns. In addition, Participant acknowledges that, in large part, operational control of the Retreat will be in the hands of the third party retreat centre, and that any cause of action in regard to its shortcomings would be against the retreat centre and not against Host. In particular, Participant acknowledges that Host is not responsible for the safekeeping of Participant’s personal property while at the Retreat, or for ensuring Participant’s safety from contracting COVID-19 during the Retreat or during the travel to and from the Retreat.
INSURANCE
Host recommends that each and every Participant purchase individual travel and trip cancellation insurance in advance of the Retreat. In particular, due to the inherently risky nature of international travel especially during and after the COVID-19 global public health emergency, Host recommends a “Cancel For Any Reason” provision in the policy. It is Participant’s responsibility to ensure that they are adequately insured for the duration of the Retreat regarding accident, injury, illness, death, emergency evacuation and repatriation, loss of personal items, cancellation, curtailment, worldwide emergency assistance, and all other contingencies. No insurance is provided for Participant by Host or by the retreat centre.
WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY
In further consideration of Host inviting Participant to the Retreat, Participant provides the following additional waiver and release of liability for the Retreat Practices while at the Retreat (the term “Practices” is defined above in paragraph 1): At the Retreat, Participant may participate Practices taught by Host.
Participant agrees and acknowledges that Practices may involve physical movements and activity and can be physically and mentally challenging, and therefore bears risk of injury, illness, and even disability and/or death. Some of the Practices may involve Host offering recommendations and may therefore also bear similar risks. Participant accepts all risks of participating in Practices and assumes full responsibility for any and all injury, illness, and/or damages caused by their participation in Practices. During Practices, if Participant experiences any pain or significant discomfort, they agree to listen to and honour their body, discontinue the activity, notify Host immediately, and seek medical attention from a licensed physician.
Participant understands and agrees that their participation in Practices, in each session, and in each activity, is voluntary, in their sole discretion, and at their own risk. Participant warrants that they understand their physical limitations and that they are sufficiently self-aware to stop or modify or ask for help before they become injured or ill or aggravate a pre-existing condition.
Participant understands that Host is not a licensed physician, nor a medical professional of any kind, and therefore will not and cannot give them medical advice.
Participant agrees that Host has no duty to provide them with medical advice or care (including CPR) during Practices or Retreat. Participant also understands that nothing said by Host should be construed as medical advice. Participant understands that during the Retreat, Host may touch them and may give them physical assistance from time to time, and that before each session, it is their responsibility to let Host know if they do not want to be touched or assisted.
This waiver and release shall apply to all Practices, sessions, classes, lessons, workshops, and recommendations Participant takes from Host, and all instruction Participant receives from Host, no matter where performed or given, and no matter what style of Practice is taught.
Participant understands and agrees that Practices offered on Retreat are not medical, health, business, financial, legal, or other professional advice. Participant agrees that Participant’s participation in Retreat is not a substitute for consultation with and/or treatment by an appropriate professional. All information offered through Retreat, Practices, materials, and other is for informational purposes only and should be used at your own risk.
Information given by Host in Practices is not medical advice. It is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent disease. Any information provided by Host is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice, and Host encourages Participant to use any information provided by Host only in consultation with a medical professional. Any supplements, treatment plans, services, nutrition suggestions or lifestyle changes, or any other information recommended by Host is not medical advice, should not be considered medical advice, and is not a substitute for consultation with an appropriate medical professional.
Host makes no representations as to any physical, emotional, or mental health benefits that may be derived from Participant’s participation in Retreat. Host is not responsible or liable for any of Participant’s health decisions directly or indirectly related to the information provided in Retreat, nor is Host responsible for any damages from Participant’s use or misuse of information provided in Retreat. Participant understands and agrees Participant is solely responsible for any decisions Participant makes from participation in Retreat.
Participant understands and agrees that each individual is different, and Host cannot and does not guarantee any recommended Practice, service, or other recommended by Host during the Retreat will also work for Participant. Participant understands and agrees that any testimonials, examples, or other results presented by Host on Host’s webpage, marketing materials, social media platforms, or any other forum are the experiences of one participant. Participant understands and agrees Host does not represent or guarantee in any way that Participant will achieve the same or similar results.
Participant therefore agrees to release, forever discharge, and hold harmless Host and their employees, agents, teachers, independent contractors, and other representatives, and their heirs, successors, and assigns (“Released Parties”), from liability for any and all Claims (as defined immediately below) relating to or caused by Participant’s participation in Practices or Retreat (“Claims”), unless caused by the gross negligence or intentional wrongful act of Host.
The term “Claims” shall include any and all liabilities, claims, demands, actions, damages, rights of action, and causes of action, of whatever kind or nature, that may now or hereafter exist or arise, arising out of personal injuries, losses suffered, and damages of any kind (including but not limited to direct, indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, or any other damages), including those known and unknown, developed or undeveloped, and foreseen or unforeseen, relating to or caused by Participant’s participation in Practices or Retreat.
Participant agrees that this waiver and release shall be legally binding upon them personally and their family, estate, heirs, successors, and assigns.
