CLIENT LIABILITY WAIVER

CLIENT LIABILITY WAIVER, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND STUDIO POLICIES

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. THIS IS A RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND A WAIVER OF CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE. IT COVERS CLAIMS ARISING FROM ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE. DO NOT ACCEPT IT, PURCHASE FROM CORESOUTH, OR PARTICIPATE UNTIL YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD IT.

These terms are given in exchange for being permitted to access CoreSouth's premises, equipment, classes, and services, which is valuable consideration you acknowledge receiving. Throughout this document, "I," "me," and "my" refer to you, the participant, and "accepting" or "agreeing to" this document means accepting it in any of the ways described below.

Released Parties. In this document, "CoreSouth" and "Released Parties" mean, individually and collectively: CoreSouth, LLC; CoreSouth Madison, LLC; CoreSouth Guntersville, LLC; and each of their respective past, present, and future owners, members, managers, partners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, instructors, trainers, coaches, staff, independent contractors, subcontractors, agents, representatives, volunteers, interns, apprentices, consultants, insurers, attorneys, landlords, property owners, property managers, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, related entities, predecessors, successors, and assigns.

How You Accept These Terms

This document does not require a separate signature. You accept it, and it becomes binding on you, in any of the following ways:

  • By signing the CoreSouth Membership and Purchase Agreement, which expressly incorporates this document by reference and contains its own assumption of risk, release, and indemnification provisions; or

  • By purchasing any membership, class package, or single class from CoreSouth; or

  • By entering any CoreSouth premises or participating in any CoreSouth class, program, service, or activity.

Version control. The version of this document in effect on the date you accept it is the version that applies to you. CoreSouth retains dated copies of each version and will provide a copy of any version upon request at no charge, at info@coresouthlagree.com. This document may be updated from time to time; continued participation after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated version.

If you do not agree to these terms, do not purchase from CoreSouth, do not enter CoreSouth premises, and do not participate in any CoreSouth class or activity.

1. Assumption of Risk

I understand that CoreSouth offers physically demanding fitness classes and services, and that participation involves inherent risks. These risks include, but are not limited to:

  • Physical exertion, cardiovascular stress, and elevated heart rate

  • Muscle strain, sprains, tears, cramping, and soreness

  • Slips, trips, falls, and collisions with equipment, walls, or other participants

  • Equipment failure, malfunction, or improper use

  • Joint, back, neck, and spinal injury

  • Dehydration, dizziness, fainting, nausea, and overexertion

  • Aggravation of any pre-existing condition or injury

  • Heart attack, stroke, serious injury, permanent disability, and death

I understand these risks cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken by CoreSouth. I knowingly, voluntarily, and expressly assume all such risks, both known and unknown, and I accept full responsibility for any resulting injury, loss, or damage.

2. Health Declaration and Representations

I represent and warrant that:

  • I am physically fit and have no medical condition, injury, disability, or impairment that would prevent me from participating safely.

  • I have consulted a physician regarding my participation, or I have voluntarily chosen not to do so and accept full responsibility for that decision.

  • I am not pregnant, or if I am, I have obtained physician clearance to participate.

  • I have disclosed to CoreSouth any condition, injury, medication, or limitation that may affect my ability to participate safely.

I agree to update CoreSouth if my health status changes. I understand that CoreSouth does not assess, monitor, or clear my health, is not qualified to give medical advice, and relies entirely on the representations I make here. I understand that instructors are fitness professionals and not medical professionals, and that any modification, adjustment, correction, or suggestion offered by an instructor is not medical advice.

It is my responsibility to select classes appropriate to my own fitness level and experience, to work at my own pace, to modify or stop at any time, and to tell my instructor when something does not feel right.

3. Waiver and Release of Liability

3.1 Release

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY ALABAMA LAW, I HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, AND FOREVER GIVE UP ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST THE RELEASED PARTIES for any and all claims, liabilities, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, judgments, damages, injuries, losses, costs, and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, and whether for personal injury, bodily injury, illness, disability, death, property damage, emotional distress, or economic loss, arising out of or related in any way to:

  • My participation in, or presence at, any CoreSouth class, program, service, event, or activity, whether or not supervised;

  • My presence at or use of any CoreSouth premises, facility, parking area, equipment, apparatus, or amenity;

  • Any instruction, coaching, cueing, correction, modification, adjustment, hands-on assistance, or advice given or not given by any instructor or staff member;

  • The condition, design, maintenance, inspection, repair, selection, or operation of any equipment, apparatus, flooring, or facility;

  • The acts or omissions of any other client, guest, or third party on the premises; and

  • Any failure to warn, supervise, screen, train, instruct, hire, retain, or provide first aid or emergency response.

THIS RELEASE EXPRESSLY INCLUDES ANY CLAIM ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES, INCLUDING NEGLIGENT INSTRUCTION, NEGLIGENT SUPERVISION, NEGLIGENT MAINTENANCE, AND NEGLIGENT HIRING, TRAINING, OR RETENTION.

I understand and intend that this release be given full effect according to its terms under Alabama law, including Ala. Code section 12-21-109, and that it be construed as broadly and inclusively as Alabama law permits.

3.2 Covenant Not to Sue

I agree that I will not sue, file a claim against, or bring any legal proceeding against any of the Released Parties for any claim released above. If I, or anyone acting on my behalf, brings such a claim in breach of this covenant, I agree to reimburse the Released Parties for all costs and expenses they incur in defending it, including reasonable attorney fees, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

3.3 Who Is Bound

This release and covenant not to sue bind me and also my spouse, children, parents, heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators, personal representatives, insurers, subrogees, and assigns. I am giving up the right of any of those persons or entities to bring a claim against the Released Parties on my behalf or arising from my injury.

3.4 Instructors, Contractors, and Staff Are Protected Directly

I understand and agree that every individual instructor, trainer, employee, independent contractor, agent, and volunteer of CoreSouth is an intended third-party beneficiary of this document and may enforce it directly and in their own name, to the same extent as CoreSouth itself. I agree not to attempt to circumvent this release by naming an individual instructor, employee, or contractor rather than CoreSouth.

3.5 Condition of the Premises and Equipment

I have had the opportunity to inspect the premises and equipment and to ask questions about them. If at any time I believe conditions are unsafe, or that any equipment is unsafe or beyond my ability, I will immediately stop participating and notify a staff member. I accept responsibility for continuing to participate after observing any condition I believe to be unsafe.

4. Indemnification

I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold the Released Parties harmless from and against any claim, liability, loss, damage, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorney fees and costs of defense, arising out of or related to (a) my participation in any CoreSouth class, program, service, or activity, (b) my presence at any CoreSouth premises, (c) my breach of this document or of any CoreSouth policy, (d) any injury or damage I cause to another person or to property, or (e) any claim brought by or on behalf of me, my spouse, my family, my heirs, my insurer, or any third party in connection with the foregoing.

This indemnity obligation is independent of, and survives, the release in Section 3, and applies whether or not the release is ultimately held enforceable in whole or in part.

5. Emergency Medical Authorization

I authorize CoreSouth to summon emergency medical personnel and to arrange emergency medical treatment on my behalf if CoreSouth determines it is warranted. I understand CoreSouth is under no obligation to do so, and that any assistance rendered is provided as a courtesy and not as professional medical care. I accept full financial responsibility for any and all costs of emergency response, transport, and treatment.

6. Studio Policies and Conduct

I agree to follow all posted studio rules, all instructions from CoreSouth staff and instructors, and all policies in effect from time to time, including:

  • Booking, late cancellation, and no-show policies as published by CoreSouth.

  • Arriving on time. Late arrivals may be denied entry for safety reasons.

  • Wearing required attire and footwear, including grip socks and tennis shoes where required.

  • Using equipment only as instructed and reporting any damage or malfunction immediately.

  • Cleaning and sanitizing equipment after use as directed.

  • Treating staff, instructors, and other clients with respect at all times.

CoreSouth may refuse entry to, remove from the premises, suspend, or terminate the membership of any person whose conduct is unsafe, disruptive, harassing, discriminatory, or abusive toward staff or other clients, or who violates studio policies. Termination for cause does not entitle the person to a refund of amounts already paid and does not release them from amounts owed under any committed term.

7. Photography, Video, and Recording

7.1 Recording by CoreSouth

CoreSouth may photograph or record classes, events, and studio activity for marketing, promotional, training, and internal purposes. I grant CoreSouth the irrevocable right to use my name, likeness, image, voice, and any statements I make in such materials, in any medium now known or later developed, without compensation, notification, or approval.

Opting out. If I do not wish to appear in CoreSouth marketing materials, I must notify CoreSouth in writing at info@coresouthlagree.com. CoreSouth will make reasonable efforts to exclude me from materials created after receiving that notice. I understand CoreSouth cannot remove me from materials already published or distributed.

7.2 Recording by Clients

Photography and video recording inside the studio are permitted only in accordance with the following rules, and only where CoreSouth has not posted a prohibition:

  • No recording of other people without their express permission. This includes photos, video, live streaming, and audio, and it includes recordings in which another client is visible or identifiable in the background.

  • No recording of any kind in restrooms, changing areas, or the infrared sauna. This prohibition is absolute and applies without exception.

  • No recording that interferes with a class in progress, obstructs equipment, or creates a safety hazard. Instructors may prohibit or stop recording at any time for any reason.

  • No recording of instructors, class content, choreography, programming, or method for the purpose of reproducing, teaching, distributing, or commercializing it. CoreSouth's class programming and methodology are proprietary.

  • No recording of a class or any part of a studio visit for publication in a manner that is defamatory, harassing, or that misrepresents CoreSouth, its staff, or its clients.

CoreSouth may require any person to stop recording, to delete a recording, or to leave the premises. Violation of this Section is grounds for immediate removal and for termination of membership for cause under Section 6. I understand that recording another person without consent in a place where that person has a reasonable expectation of privacy may also violate Alabama law and may be reported to law enforcement.

I agree to indemnify and hold CoreSouth harmless from any claim brought by another client or third party arising from any recording I make on CoreSouth premises.

8. Personal Property

CoreSouth is not responsible for loss of, theft of, or damage to personal property brought onto the premises, including items left in cubbies, lockers, changing areas, or vehicles. I bring personal property at my own risk.

9. Age Requirement and Parent or Guardian Consent

All participants must be at least sixteen (16) years of age. The age of majority in the State of Alabama is nineteen (19). Any participant under nineteen (19) years of age must have a parent or legal guardian read and sign this document on their behalf.

By signing on behalf of a minor participant, the parent or legal guardian agrees to every term of this document on their own behalf and on behalf of the minor, including the assumption of risk, waiver and release, indemnification, and recording provisions, and represents that they have the legal authority to do so.

Use of the infrared sauna is limited to individuals nineteen (19) years of age and older and is governed by a separate agreement.

10. Limitations, Severability, and Survival

Nothing in this document is intended to release the Released Parties from liability for gross negligence, willful or wanton misconduct, or any other liability that may not lawfully be waived under Alabama law.

If any provision of this document is found to be unenforceable, or unenforceable as applied to any particular party or claim, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed. All remaining provisions, and the same provision as applied to all other parties and claims, shall remain in full force and effect. The parties intend that this document be enforced to the maximum extent Alabama law allows.

This document remains in effect for the entire duration of my relationship with CoreSouth and applies to every visit, class, and activity, including any period before, after, or between memberships. It survives the expiration, cancellation, or termination of any membership or class package. I do not need to sign a new copy for each visit.

11. Voluntary Agreement

I confirm that: I have been given adequate time to read this document; no one has rushed, pressured, or coerced me into signing it; I have had the opportunity to ask questions and to consult an attorney if I wished; I am of sound mind and not under the influence of any substance impairing my judgment; and I am signing it knowingly, freely, and voluntarily in exchange for being permitted to participate.

12. Governing Law and Venue

This document is governed by the laws of the State of Alabama, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this document shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Alabama, and I consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

13. Relationship to Other Agreements

This document governs participation, safety, conduct, and recording. Purchases, billing, membership terms, renewal, cancellation, and refunds are governed by the CoreSouth Membership and Purchase Agreement. In the event of a conflict on those subjects, the Membership and Purchase Agreement controls.

Acknowledgment

By accepting this document in any of the ways described above, I confirm that:

  • I have been given the opportunity to read this document in full and to ask questions about it.

  • I understand that I am giving up substantial legal rights, including the right to sue, and I am accepting these terms freely and voluntarily.

  • I understand this document releases the Released Parties, including individual instructors, employees, and contractors, from claims arising from their ordinary negligence.

  • The health representations in Section 2 are true and accurate as to me, and I will notify CoreSouth if they change.

  • I agree to the photography, video, and recording terms in Section 7.

  • I am at least nineteen (19) years of age, or a parent or legal guardian has accepted these terms on my behalf as described in Section 9.

Participants Under Nineteen

A participant under nineteen (19) years of age may not accept these terms themselves. A parent or legal guardian must sign the CoreSouth Membership and Purchase Agreement on the minor's behalf, in studio, before that participant may take part in any class or activity. By doing so, the parent or legal guardian accepts every term of this document on their own behalf and on behalf of the minor, including the assumption of risk, release, indemnification, and recording provisions, and represents that they have the legal authority to do so. Participants under sixteen (16) years of age are not eligible.
