  1. TERMS OF SERVICE AND WAIVER OF RIGHTS (“Terms”)

For purposes of greater certainty, “you/your” refers to you as the participant of the Trainer’s Services and “we/us/our” refers to the Trainer/Therapist.

THESE TERMS CONSTITUTE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND US.

PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY BEFORE AGREEING TO RECEIVE ANY SERVICES FROM US.
