    McKinney Bellydance by Raena Class Liability Waiver
      
    This form is an important legal document. It explains the risks you are assuming by beginning an exercise program. It is critical you read and understand it completely.

    While belly dance is typically a safe, low-impact activity, you understand and agree that participating in any physical activity (in person and/or online) has a higher risk than normal activities and, therefore, there is a possibility of physical injury (and, in rare circumstances, death).  You agree that instructors cannot assume responsibility for injury to participants, especially in off-site/online settings that are beyond their control. 

    It is important that you listen to your own body, and work at your own pace, it is vital that you stay hydrated and take a rest whenever you need it. You must make the instructor aware of any medical conditions or injuries. If at anytime you have questions, feel unsafe or unwell you must inform the instructor immediately and discontinue further participation in the activity. 

    You are fully aware you are free to withdraw from the activity at anytime and are participating of your own free will. You agree to follow instructions given by Raena (Ricki Lascody DBA) and agree to abide by the rules for participating in various activities. 

    The instructions and advice presented are in no way intended to be a substitute for medical counselling or advice. Not all exercises are suitable for everyone and this or any other exercise program may result in injury. 
    I, hereby state that I wish to participate in the activity, and I realize that my participation in these activities involves potential risk of injury, including but not limited to bodily injury, heart attack, stroke, or even death. I also recognize there are other risks associated with exercise and that it is not possible to list everyone. I know and understand the risks of injury which could occur by reason of my participation in any session or program.

    I hereby state that I am in good health and able to take part in the activities. I understand that I MUST be aware of my physical limitations and agree not to exceed them. I will request movement modifications from instructor, as needed. If I have known cardio-respiratory, osteoporosis or orthopedic issues, or I've been sedentary and am unsure of my abilities, I will consult my physician to ensure bellydance is a healthy exercise option for any unique needs of my body. I take full responsibility for my own health and wellbeing and agree that any instructions received will be used at my own risk. 

    I agree to release and hold harmless Mckinney Bellydance by Raena (Ricki Lascody DBA) from any and all liability to me, my personal representatives, estate, heirs, next of kin, and assigns for any and all claims and causes of action for loss or damage to my property and for all illness or injury to my person that may result from or occur during my participation in this activity. 

    My acceptance also acknowledges my consent to be videotaped, audio recorded and/or photographed during the class, and grants the instructor the sole right to own, use and modify the images and/or recordings for any and all purposes worldwide, including but not limited to advertisements, marketing, and all commercial purposes and in all forms of media, without any compensation (including royalties) in perpetuity. I waive any right to inspect or approve any images or recordings and waive any rights of ownership to the same.

    Covid-19/Delta Waiver:
    ​
    COVID-19 was declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization in 2020. COVID-19 and its inevitable mutations such as Delta, are contagious and spread through person-to-person contact. As a result, local governments and government health agencies recommend safety measures, including vaccinations, social distancing and mask use.

    You increase your risk of contracting Covid by attending in-person group fitness classes, even if vaccinated,  due to asymptomatic persons.  While masks are NOT mandatory(by TX law) they are highly-encouraged when gathering indoors in public settings. 

    By ticking this waiver agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death.

    I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I may experience or incur in connection with my attendance at McKinney Bellydance. On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Raena (Ricki Lascody DBA)and representatives, of and from the claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. 

    By completing the online joining process, you are registering to participate in activities held by Raena of McKinney Bellydance, and you are accepting this waiver and all the terms and conditions (insofar as they are applicable). You should only join if you have read them and voluntary accept them.
