​

• You attest that you are at least 18 years old to participate in our programme(s).  We do not intend for our programme(s) to be used by individuals younger than 18.

• Our wellness, educational and fitness exercise programmes, even if targeted at a specific medical or physical problem, are intended to provide general education, not specific medical or physical therapy advice for you or any other particular individual.  If we suggest self-assessment procedures, it is not intended to substitute for a medical or physical therapy exam.

• If the programme you participate in provides suggestions on general exercise, you understand that there are risks in participating in any exercise programme.  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. If an exercise requires balance, you could be at risk for falling, which could result in fracturing bones.  You may also experience muscle soreness from working muscles that are weak or deconditioned.  When using exercise equipment, such as weights, 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.

• We recommend you obtain medical clearance from your primary care or another qualified medical provider before participating in our  programmes.  Your participation in our programme 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. 

• We do not claim that our general exercise/fitness, wellness and general coaching programme(s) will result in any particular or specific therapeutic, performance or other outcome. 

• You acknowledge and accept the potential technology risks of participating in an online programme, 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. 

• 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 Vivienne Bolla doing business as Empowered Women’s Collective Ltd, 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.
