The Company 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 the Company has put in place preventative measures to help reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, the Company 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 the Company 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 the Company’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 the Company may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of yourself or others, including, but not limited to, the Company’s employees and members
You understand that the Company 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 the Company, and YOU ASSUME ALL RISK, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, 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 signing this contract (electronically or otherwise proceeding with this enrollment process), enrolling online, attending classes, events, activities, and/or other programs of the Company whether online, in the Company’s studio, or using the Company’s equipment, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE INHERENT RISK OF COVID-19 EXPOSURE AT THE COMPANY, WHICH IS TAKING MEASURES TO FOLLOW HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES AS PRESCRIBED BY RELEVANT AUTHORITIES, BUT CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT SUCH RISK CAN BE ELIMINATED COMPLETELY., INCLUDING IN ANY PLACE WHERE PEOPLE ARE PRESENT. You understand, acknowledge and agree that all of the above risks, including that some potential risks are unknown, and voluntarily choose to enter the Company and participate in classes and activities.
BY ENTERING AND REMAINING AT THE COMPANY, YOU VOLUNTARILY ASSUME, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RISKS INVOLVING AND RELATED TO COVID-19 EXPOSURE AND RELATED COMPLICATIONS.
4. Non-recording of live studio classes agreement
By signing this contract (electronically or otherwise proceeding with this enrollment process), enrolling online, attending classes, events, activities, and/or other programs of the Company whether online, in the Company’s studio, or using the Company’s equipment, you acknowledge and agree that any type of recording or transmission (video, audio, still photography, streaming, social media posting, etc.) of any live Company classes for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited without the prior written consent of an authorized corporate officer of the Company. Personal use, including personal progress tracking, is allowed, provided it does not distract other participants, disrupt the flow of the class, or capture images, audio, or video of other attendees without their express consent.

Any violation of this policy may lead to exclusion from future participation in any of the Company’s classes, subject to a review and decision by the relevant authority in the Company. The member will be given an opportunity to present their case prior to a final decision. Reinstatement opportunities will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. You further agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, 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 unauthorized recording, transmission, or other violation of this policy.

6. Anti-Discrimination and anti-harassment policy
The Company disapproves of any unwelcomed, inappropriate, discriminatory, harassing, and/or offensive conduct by its personnel or its members. If you believe you have been subject to unwelcomed, inappropriate, and/or offensive conduct by any of the Company’s personnel or any of the Company’s member(s), including while participating in the Company’s class, we encourage you to tell the person engaging clearly and promptly, in the conduct, that the conduct is unwelcomed and offensive (if you are comfortable doing so). We also ask that you promptly notify a member of the studio team if the discrimination, harassment or other unwanted conduct takes place in a studio, or email the Company’s team at info@swclagree.com if you feel more comfortable reporting the discrimination, harassment, or other unwanted conduct by email correspondence.
When making a report or complaint, we strongly recommend that you provide as much information as possible and in writing, including but not limited to, each alleged incident: date, time, place (specify studio location or time/type of virtual class), names of any witnesses, what was said or done, and any other relevant surrounding facts/circumstances.
The Company will strive to appropriately investigate any reported incidents and seek to provide due process for all parties. The Company’s responsive actions, however, cannot be known in advance since they will vary depending upon the nature of the allegations and the outcome of the investigation. The Company strives to maintain confidentiality throughout the investigative process to the extent practicable. However, our duty to investigate and take corrective action as appropriate may require the disclosure of certain information, and therefore, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed.
Any disputes or complaints not resolved via this complaint process will be subject to the below Arbitration Agreement.
7. Arbitration agreement and waiver of any right to a jury trial
Please Read the Following Carefully – It May Significantly Affect Your Legal Rights Including Your Right to File a Lawsuit in Court
By signing this contract (electronically or otherwise proceeding with this enrollment process), enrolling online, attending classes, events, activities, and/or other programs of the Company whether online, in the Company’s studio, or using the Company’s equipment, if you and the Company are not able to resolve a dispute within a thirty (30) day period, from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued over a dispute arising out of this agreement, you acknowledge and agree that either party may initiate binding arbitration, and you expressly waive any and all claims against the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law.
You understand and agree that all claims arising out of or relating to your use of the Services (including the formation, performance, and breach of this arbitration agreement), your and our relationship, and/or your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the ADR Services, Inc. (“ADR Services”) Arbitration Rules (“ADR Services Rules”), excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions.
Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense. You and the Company shall select a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the ADR Services Rules. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions, shall be binding on you and us, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement and all other agreements between you and the Company shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.
The current ADR Services Rules governing arbitration may be accessed at https://www.adrservices.com/services/arbitration-rules/.
The parties agree to split the cost of the arbitration, unless the arbitrator finds that the claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b).
YOU AND THE COMPANY UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS MANDATORY PROVISION, YOU AND THE COMPANY WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. You and the Company further understand that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
8. Assumption of Risk in Using Sauna on Premises
By utilizing the sauna facilities (collectively, the “Facilities”) at SWC LAGREE (the “Company”), you acknowledge and agree, on behalf of yourself, your heirs, personal representatives, and/or assigns (collectively “you” and/or “yourself”) that:
(a) There are certain inherent risks and dangers associated with the use of the sauna, including but not limited to, heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke, dehydration, and other health complications. Similarly, the use of the cold plunge involves risks such as hypothermia, shock, and other cold-related health issues.
(b) You have voluntarily chosen to use these Facilities and understand that the Company strongly recommends consulting with a physician prior to using the sauna or cold plunge, especially if you have pre-existing conditions or are pregnant.
(c) You agree to adhere to any posted safety instructions and time limits for the use of these Facilities, understanding that failure to do so may result in adverse health effects or injury.
(d) You voluntarily assume all risks and dangers of injury or death inherent in the use of the sauna and cold plunge facilities.
(e) You release and discharge the Company, its owners, trainers, employees, shareholders, subsidiaries, successors, agents, affiliates, insurers, officers, directors, independent contractors, attorneys, and any representatives (“Releasees”) from any and all loss, damage, injury (including death or disability), or cost to you arising out of the use of the sauna and cold plunge, regardless of the cause, except for any loss, damage, injury, or cost caused by the Company’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(f) You agree to comply with all safety instructions provided by the Company’s staff and understand that failure to follow these instructions may result in expulsion from the premises.
(g) Under no circumstance should minors aged under 18 use these Facilities.
Class action and Class Arbitration waiver
You and the Company each further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in our respective individual capacities only and not as a class, collective, or representative (“Class”) action, and you and the Company each expressly waive our respective right to file a Class action or seek relief on a Class basis, unless otherwise required by law. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a Class basis, then the class action waiver in this Agreement shall be deemed null and void, but the remainder of the arbitration agreement will remain in effect between you and the Company.
Exception – Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding your and the Company’s agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either you or the Company may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
9. Exclusive venue for litigation and governing law
To the extent that the arbitration provisions set forth above do not apply or if you have opted out of arbitration, you and the Company expressly consent that any litigation between you and the Company shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in and governed by the laws of the State of California (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside), without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. In the event of litigation, you and the Company agree to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a jury trial, except where a jury trial waiver is not permissible under applicable law.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Releasees for all damages, liabilities, losses, and/or expenses, (including reasonable attorney fees, costs, claims, damages, judgments, awards, settlements, investigations, fees, and disbursements) incurred through third party claims, lawsuits, demands, and/or actions, or threats of claims against Releasees arising from any cause whatsoever, including but not limited to, your breach of this Agreement, your negligent or intentional misconduct during classes, or any other actions or inactions on your part.
11. Notices

For clarity, nothing in this Agreement amends or modifies, or has any effect upon, the terms and conditions of any separate agreement that you may have entered into with the Company or Lagree Fitness.

All terms defined in the singular shall have the same meanings when used in the plural, where appropriate and unless otherwise specified. Any use of the term “including” or variations thereof in this Agreement shall be construed as if followed by the phrase “without limitation.” Without limitation, a printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. The Company will not be responsible for any failure to fulfill any obligation due to any cause beyond its control.
You acknowledge that this document is a contract. If you file an arbitration action against the Releasees for any injury or damage, and it is determined to be a breach of this contract, you will be responsible for paying all attorney's fees and costs incurred by the Company in defending such action.
