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 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.

6. 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. 

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.

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 arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and you and The Company shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes. 

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. 

8. 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 in which the dispute arose (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.
