SCHEDULE A — PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT & LIABILITY WAIVER

By engaging in any classes, sessions, events, or training offered by Method Five, and by entering or using any on-site facilities, equipment, or related amenities provided by Method Five (collectively, the “Activities”), I (“I”, “me”, or “my”) agree to the terms set out in this Liability Waiver and Release (“Agreement”).

1. UNDERSTANDING & ASSUMPTION OF RISK

I recognize that the Activities, which further include Pilates, Spin classes, general fitness training, workshops, use of exercise equipment, and any other amenities or features provided by Method Five, all carry inherent risks. These risks include physical or mental injury, joint or muscle strain, equipment-related accidents, slips or falls, property loss, or, in rare cases, serious injury or death. I acknowledge that I am voluntarily participating in the Activities and I therefore explicitly assume all risks associated with my participation. I accept that the term “injury” encompasses the losses described in this Agreement, and that an injury constitutes any loss associated with my participation in this workshop. I agree to follow all safety instructions and guidelines provided by Method Five, its owners, agents, instructors, staff, contractors, affiliates and any other representatives (the “Released Parties”). I understand that I am responsible for my actions and safety while following their instructions, and I will use equipment I am instructed to use in the course of my participation in the Activities only as directed. I acknowledge and further agree that my participation is fully voluntary, I am solely responsible for determining or seeking the requisite guidance to determine my physical readiness, I agree to follow all instructions and guidelines provided by the Released Parties during the course of and leading up to my participation in the Activities, and I will notify method five of any medical conditions or limitations that may impact my ability to safely participate in any Activities.

Release: To the maximum extent allowed by law, I hereby release, hold harmless, and forever discharge the Released Parties from any liability with respect to injury of any and all nature, whether to me or to my personal property arising out of or connected with my participation in the Activities, or attendance at any of Method Five location. This release covers claims based in negligence, breach of contract, breach of statutory duty, or any other relevant cause of action.

Covenant Not to Sue: I agree not to initiate, participate in, or support any claim or lawsuit against any Released Party arising out of my participation in the Activities.

3. INDEMNIFICATION & THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS

I agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Released Parties from any and all claims, actions, damages, or liabilities arising out of my participation in the Activities. For further clarity, I agree that any injury, as defined in section 1 of this Waiver, arising from my participation in the Activities, whether physical, financial, psychological or otherwise, is my own responsibility, and that no legal claim can be made against the Released Parties as a result of those injuries.

4. PERSONAL PROPERTY & USE OF AMENITIES

I understand that any personal belongings I bring into method five facilities or event spaces are my responsibility. method five is not liable for lost, stolen, or damaged items. Personal items are in no way the responsibility of the Released Parties.

5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

If, despite this Agreement, any liability is imposed on the Released Parties, I agree that the total amount recoverable shall be limited as follows:

The Released Parties’ total cumulative liability shall not exceed the lesser of:

(a) 20% of the total fees I have paid to method five in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or

(b) $650.

This limitation applies to all forms of damages or claims, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, or any other cause of action, and constitutes all compensation I can receive from any and all claims arising from or connected to the Activities.
