You can not participate in any SOUL GROW GROUP SIA events or be on SOUL GROW GROUP SIA property without first signing this agreement.

Agree below only if you agree to be bound by all terms within this agreement.

I, in consideration of my participation in SOUL GROW GROUP SIA organized events and to be permitted to participate in any way in SOUL GROW GROUP SIA sponsored Events (“Events”), and my personal representatives, assigns, heirs, and next to kin:

UNDERSTAND that this program and its contents are confidential and agree not to disclose or disseminate any portion of this program for any purpose. I consent and agree to refrain from taking any notes, audio, photographic or video graphic records of this program.

UNDERSTAND that photographs and video graphic images of the program and its participants may be taken by SOUL GROW GROUP SIA and I hereby release SOUL GROW GROUP SIA and its representatives from any claims I may have to the use and dissemination of such photographs or video graphic images.

UNDERSTAND that this program is not a substitute for medical care and offers no guarantees and that I should seek the advice of a qualified health care professional before engaging in yoga or in any case it might be necessary.

ACKNOWLEDGE, agree and represent that I understand the nature of SOUL GROW GROUP SIA Events and that I am qualified, in good health and in proper physical and mental condition to participate in such Events. I further agree and warrant that if at any time I believe conditions to be unsafe, I will immediately discontinue further participation in such Events.

FULLY UNDERSTAND that: (a) SOUL GROW GROUP SIA EVENTS MAY INVOLVE RISKS AND DANGERS WHICH WOULD RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, INCLUDING PERMANENT DISABILITY, PARALYSIS AND DEATH (“Risks”); (b)these Risks to which I will be exposed involve ever changing and unpredictable natural conditions, the condition in which Events take place, my own actions, or inactions, or the NEGLIGENCE OF THE “INDEMNIFIED PARTIES” NAMED BELOW; (c) there may be other RISKS AND SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC LOSSES either not known to me or not readily foreseeable at this time; and I CHOOSE TO PROCEED WITH EVENTS AND FULLY ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSSES, COSTS, AND DAMAGES I incur as a result of my participation in SOUL GROW GROUP SIA Events.

HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND EXPRESSLY RELEASE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE SOUL GROW GROUP SIA, its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, teachers, instructors, presenters, facilitators, independent contractors, organizers, volunteers, other participants, and owners and lessors of premises or equipment with which the Events take place, (each considered a “Indemnified Party” herein) FROM ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, EXPENSES, LOSSES FOR DAMAGES, PERSONAL INJURY, MENTAL SUFFERING AND DISTRESS, OR DEATH CAUSED OR ALLEGED TO BE CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE “INDEMNIFIED PARTIES” OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING NEGLIGENT RESCUE OPERATIONS CONNECTED TO MY PARTICIPATION IN SOUL GROW GROUP SIA EVENTS. I FURTHER AGREE that if, despite this RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT I or anyone on my behalf, makes a claim against any of the Indemnified Parties, I WILL INDEMNIFY, SAVE, AND HOLD HARMLESS EACH OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES from any litigation expenses, attorney fees, loss, liability, damage, or cost incurred by the Indemnified Parties as the result of such claim.

FULLY UNDERSTAND that I may assist event participants to the best of my own ability if they appear to need such assistance, but only for so long as I can do so, in my judgment, without unreasonably endangering myself.

As a condition of my participation in the program, I agree that any dispute related to my registration for or participation in the program, including without limitation claims for negligence, breach of contract, fraud, intentional torts, or any other acts or omissions of the Indemnified Parties, shall be resolved by confidential, binding arbitration conducted at the Independent Arbitration Court (Neatkarīgā Šķīrējtiesa, № 40003761802, address Antonijas str. 7, Riga, LV-1010) in accordance with its Arbitration Rules and laws existing in the Republic of Latvia.
