  1. CORONAVIRUS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Megaformer takes the Coronavirus pandemic very seriously, as it is an extremely contagious virus that may lead to severe illness, permanent disability and death that is believed to spread by person to person contact, and Megaformer has put in place preventative measures to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. By signing this Waiver (electronically or otherwise proceeding with this enrollment process), or using Megaformer’s Services or Equipment, you understand that Megaformer cannot guarantee that you, your family, and/or your guests will not become infected with COVID-19. It is possible that attending classes, events, and/or activities at Megaformer may place you in close physical contact with other members, attendees, and staff and could increase the risk that you, your family members, and/or your guests contract COVID-19.

You acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that you, your family members, and/or your guests may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at Megaformer’s studio and that such exposure or infection could result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and/or death. You understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at Megaformer may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of yourself or others, including, but not limited to, Megaformer’s employees and members.

You understand that the Megaformer has implemented and clearly communicated that enhanced health and safety measures are of the utmost importance. However, given the extremely contagious nature of this virus, you acknowledge and agree that there is an inherent risk of contracting COVID-19 during my time at Megaformer, and you assume all risk of being infected with COVID-19 and related complications, some of which may not be known at this time. Specifically, you understand and agree that COVID-19 complications may include extensive quarantine and self-isolation, testing, hospitalization with additional medical treatment, Intensive Care Unit treatment, intubation/ventilator support, the risk of death, and other potential complications. By entering and remaining at the company, you voluntarily assume any and all risks involving and related to covid-19 exposure and related complications.

You understand that Megaformer is obliged by law to adhere to any applicable safety measures determined by the Ministry of Public Health, the Ministry of Commerce & Industry and any other applicable government agency. You acknowledge that you are required to adhere to any applicable safety measures determined by the Ministry of Public Health, the Ministry of Commerce & Industry and any other applicable government agency and failure to do so while you are in Megaformer premises grants Megaformer the right to refuse to provide or continue with servicing you and grants it the right to ask you to leave the premises should you fail to comply. 

  1. NON-RECORDING OF LIVE STUDIO CLASSES 

By signing this Waiver (electronically or otherwise proceeding with this enrollment process), or using Megaformer’s Services or equipment, you acknowledge and agree that any type of recording or transmission (video, audio, still photography, streaming, social media posting, etc.) of any live Megaformer classes is strictly prohibited without the prior written consent of an authorized corporate officer of Megaformer.

You are, however, permitted to record and post lawful, non-offensive content related to your participation in the Megaformer’s studio class before and/or after a class with the consent of each participant who is identified in your content.

Any violation of this policy is grounds for exclusion from future participation in any of Megaformer’s classes. You further agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Megaformer, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and instructors, from and against any claims, lawsuits or other actions, and all resulting loss, damage, or cost of any kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from your violation of this Waiver.
