You will have access to the Program and its materials for a period of six (6) months from your date of purchase (the "Access Period"). At the end of the Access Period, your access to the Program and all related materials will automatically end and the Program content will no longer be available to you. The Program content remains available to you on the delivery platform during the Access Period only; the Program does not include any permanent or downloadable copy of the session recordings.

1. This Agreement, including the Course Waiver, shall constitute a binding contract between You and The Fit Collective® regarding the terms under which The Fit Collective® will provide You with the Program.

2. You agree to be bound by all Terms and Conditions, which shall take effect immediately upon your acceptance of this Agreement (including electronically clicking "I Agree" and typing your full legal name), your first payment (whether in whole or in part, or as applied via a credit from any other course), or by downloading The Fit Collective App™ or otherwise accessing the Program delivery platform, whichever first occurs.

Section 4. Your Conduct and Content

1. You must review and follow all Course Guidelines and Terms and Conditions. The Member who purchases and registers for the Program must be at least eighteen (18) years of age.

2. Household and Family Participation. The Program is designed so that members of the Member's immediate household may participate alongside the Member. Any such participation is permitted only for the Member's personal, non-commercial household use and does not create any separate membership, account, or right of access for any other person. If the Member permits any individual under the age of eighteen (18) (a "Minor") to participate, the Member represents and warrants that the Member is the parent or legal guardian of that Minor, or is authorized by the Minor's parent or legal guardian, and that the Member accepts full responsibility for the Minor's participation, including all acknowledgments, assumptions of risk, waivers, and releases set forth in the Course Waiver below, on the Minor's behalf. The Member is solely responsible for supervising any Minor's participation at all times and for determining, in consultation with the Minor's physician where appropriate, whether the Program is suitable for that Minor.

In consideration of being permitted to participate in the above-referenced Event hosted by Mind Body Marriage, PC dba The Fit Collective®, I hereby agree as follows:

1. No Professional Services Provided. By participating in any The Fit Collective® course, including this Program, and by engaging in any individual or group consulting sessions, purchasing any product, or reading any guidelines, handouts, website materials, course materials, e-books, or emails, you acknowledge that The Fit Collective®, including its officers, shareholders, employees, directors, agents, assigns, and independent contractors ("The Fit Collective® and Agents"), is not a licensed mental health counselor, nutritionist, or psychologist, and that although Dr. Ali Novitsky is a licensed medical doctor, neither she nor any other The Fit Collective® and Agents is providing any medical advice or licensed medical service in relation to the Program or otherwise. You are expressly advised that participation in any Fit Collective® activity or course does not replace the care of mental health counselors, nutritionists, psychologists, doctors, or other healthcare professionals. The Program is in no way to be construed or substituted as licensed nutritional, psychological, mental health, or medical advice.

2. Risks. I understand that the Event I am participating in may be of a hazardous nature, including strenuous physical activity. The Fit Collective® has made me fully aware that the Program is of a nature and kind that I may find strenuous and that may push me to the limits of my physical abilities. I recognize and understand that the programs/classes are not without varying degrees of risk, which may include, but are not limited to: injury to the musculoskeletal and/or cardiorespiratory systems, as well as any other physical injury related to or resulting from my participation in any exercise, all of which can result in serious injury or death; injury or death due to negligence on the part of myself, an instructor, or other people around me; injury or death due to improper use or failure of equipment; or injury or death due to a medical condition, whether known or unknown by me. I am aware that any of these risks may result in serious injury or death to myself and/or my household participants.

I further understand and agree that the Program is delivered on a self-guided, pre-recorded basis, and that I may participate without the real-time supervision of any instructor. I am solely responsible for performing all movements safely, for using appropriate space and equipment, for exercising within my own abilities, and for stopping immediately and seeking care if I experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or any other sign of distress. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO CONSULT MY PHYSICIAN BEFORE BEGINNING THE PROGRAM.

3. I also understand that the Program may include nutritional recommendations for the purpose of a "healthy" lifestyle, suggested for weight loss, or for any other purpose. I hereby waive any claims or rights that I might otherwise have to sue The Fit Collective® and Agents if injury or harm occurs to me that may result from participation in the Program, including exercise, nutrition, consultations, or weight loss. I understand that I should consult my physician if I have any medical issues, and I acknowledge that nutrition services are not to be in place of any medications.

4. Participation of Minors and Household Members.

I accept all risks described in this Waiver on the Minor's or household participant's behalf, I confirm that I know of no medical condition that would make participation unsafe for that person, I agree to supervise that person at all times during participation, and I make all acknowledgments, waivers, and releases in this Waiver on that person's behalf. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO CONSULT A PHYSICIAN BEFORE ANY MINOR BEGINS THE PROGRAM.

5. By agreeing, I acknowledge that I have carefully read this waiver and release and fully understand that it is a release of liability. I am waiving any right that I have to bring legal action to assert a claim against The Fit Collective®.

7. Waiver and Release. Understanding there may be risks associated with participating in the Event, I do hereby, for myself, any Minor or household participant on whose behalf I act, my heirs, personal representatives, and assigns, knowingly and voluntarily enter into this waiver and agree to forever release, discharge, and hold harmless The Fit Collective® and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective owners, officers, directors, managers, shareholders, staff, employees, volunteers, insurers, agents, independent contractors, successors, and assigns, from any and all claims, liabilities, causes of action, suits, judgments, attorneys' fees, and demands of any kind, including without limitation accidents or illnesses ranging from minor cuts, bruises, and sprains to severe physical injury (including death), psychological injury, economic or emotional injury, property damage, theft, or any other loss, damage, or inconvenience whatsoever, now or in the future, arising from or related to the Event. I willingly assume full responsibility for any and all risks to which I am exposing myself and any participant for whom I am responsible as a result of participation, and accept full responsibility for any injury or death that may result.

8. I hereby certify that I know of no medical problems that would increase my risk of illness or injury as a result of participation in any physical exercise or conditioning. The Fit Collective® has informed me that there exists the possibility of adverse physical changes during any exercise program, which could include abnormal blood pressure, fainting, disorder of heart rhythm, stroke, and in very rare instances heart attack or even death, and I fully understand the same. With my full understanding of the above, I agree to assume any and all risk associated with my participation in the Program.

9. I indemnify, hold harmless, and promise not to sue The Fit Collective® from any and all liabilities or claims made as a result of my participation in the activity, whether caused by the negligence, gross recklessness, or contractual breach of The Fit Collective®.

I assert that my participation is voluntary and of my own choosing, and that no promise or inducement for this release has been offered to me.
