  6. WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY.

  13. ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Activities shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in Fairfield County, Connecticut, before a single arbitrator. I WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

  1. EXPRESS ASSUMPTION OF RISK. HAVING BEEN FULLY INFORMED OF THE INHERENT RISKS DESCRIBED ABOVE, I VOLUNTARILY AND EXPRESSLY ASSUME ALL RISKS OF INJURY, ILLNESS, DISABILITY, OR DEATH THAT MAY RESULT FROM MY PARTICIPATION IN THE ACTIVITIES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES OR OTHERWISE. I understand that this express assumption of risk is a complete bar to any recovery by me or my heirs against the Released Parties for injuries arising from the Inherent Risks of the Activities. I make this assumption of risk freely, voluntarily, and with full knowledge and understanding of its legal significance.

  2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

I acknowledge that my failure to disclose material health information may increase my risk of injury and constitutes a breach of this Agreement.

  4. PHYSICAL ADJUSTMENTS. I understand that instructors may provide physical adjustments or hands-on corrections during Activities. I am responsible for informing the instructor before class if I do not wish to be touched. Absent such notification, I consent to reasonable physical adjustments.

  5. COMMUNICABLE DISEASE ACKNOWLEDGMENT. I acknowledge that participation in Activities in enclosed, heated environments creates an elevated risk of exposure to communicable diseases, including COVID-19 and its variants. I voluntarily assume this risk as an Inherent Risk of the Activities. I agree to follow all posted health and safety protocols. I will not attend if I am experiencing symptoms of any contagious illness or have been recently exposed to a contagious illness.

  6. RELEASE OF CLAIMS. In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, and assigns, hereby RELEASE, WAIVE, AND DISCHARGE the Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, or liabilities of any kind arising from or related to the Inherent Risks of the Activities as described herein, to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law.

  7. COVENANT NOT TO SUE. I covenant and agree that I will not sue or bring any claim, action, or proceeding against the Released Parties for any injury, illness, disability, or death arising from or related to my participation in the Activities or use of the Facilities, including claims arising from the Inherent Risks described herein or from conditions of the Facilities. This covenant shall be binding upon me, my heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns.

  8. INDEMNIFICATION.

I acknowledge that under Florida's comparative fault system (Florida Statutes § 768.81), my own negligence or fault in causing or contributing to any injury may reduce or bar any recovery. I agree that my failure to follow safety instructions, my failure to disclose health conditions, my overexertion, my failure to properly hydrate, or my continuation of activity despite warning signs constitutes contributory negligence on my part.

  10. MEDICAL EMERGENCY AUTHORIZATION. In the event of a medical emergency, I authorize the Released Parties to contact emergency medical services and to share any relevant health information I have provided to facilitate my treatment. I assume all responsibility for costs of emergency medical treatment. This authorization is given pursuant to Florida law governing emergency medical care.

The arbitration shall be conducted in the county where the Facility is located, before a single arbitrator. The arbitrator shall apply Florida substantive law. I WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys' fees, except as otherwise provided by law.

  16. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflicts of law principles. For any claims not subject to arbitration, the parties consent to exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts located in the county where the Facility is located.

  17. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, unenforceable, or contrary to Florida law, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Specifically, if any release or waiver provision is deemed unenforceable as to claims of negligence under Florida law, the express assumption of risk provisions, the covenant not to sue, and the indemnification provisions shall remain fully enforceable, and any waiver shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by Florida law. The parties intend that the express assumption of risk provisions operate independently of any release provisions.
