This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of a health/lifestyle cooking program (the “Program”) that is comprised of a plurality of sessions. By clicking on the acceptance box below you are agreeing to the terms and policies below.
SCHEDULING
Each session will end within 180 minutes after it was scheduled to begin. If the session needs to be canceled or if the appointment needs to be rescheduled, the Client must do so 24 hours in advance of the scheduled appointment; otherwise, the Client will forfeit that appointment and will not have an opportunity to reschedule it.
All sessions must be completed within three months from the start date or they risk forfeiture at the sole discretion of the Company.
PAYMENTS AND REFUNDS
The Client understands that the regular cost of the Program is $600.00 per 3 hour class, not including the $100.00 initial intake fee.
In the event of the Client’s absence or withdrawal from the Program prior to its conclusion, for any reason whatsoever, the Client will remain responsible for the pro rata share of the Program that has been delivered, plus a cancelation fee of $250. The Company reserves the right to cancel the Program at any point, in its sole and absolute discretion. Should this occur, the Client shall be responsible only for the pro rata share of services received, and the Client will receive a refund for any services not so rendered.
DISCLAIMERS
The Client understands that the role of the Company is not to prescribe or assess micro- and macronutrient levels; provide health care, medical or nutrition therapy services; or to diagnose, treat or cure any disease, condition or other physical or mental ailment of the human body. Rather, the Company is a mentor and guide who has been trained in holistic health coaching and Ayurvedic culinary nutrition to help clients reach their own health goals by helping clients devise and implement positive, sustainable lifestyle changes. The Client understands that the Company provided coach is not a doctor, licensed dietician-nutritionist, psychologist or other licensed or registered professional, and that any advice given by the Company is not intended to substitute for the advice of these professionals. If the Client is under the care of a health care professional or currently uses prescription medications, the Client should discuss any dietary changes or potential dietary supplements use with his or her doctor, and should not discontinue any prescription medications without first consulting his or her doctor. The Client has chosen to work with the Company and understands that the information received should not be seen as medical or nursing advice and is not meant to take the place of seeing a licensed health professional.
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND RELEASE OF HEALTH CARE RELATED CLAIMS
The Client acknowledges that the Client takes full responsibility for the Client’s life and well-being, as well as the lives and well-being of the Client’s family and children (where applicable), and all decisions made during and after this Program. The Client expressly assumes the risks of the Program, including the risks of trying new foods, and the risks inherent in making lifestyle changes. The Client releases the Company from any and all liability, damages, causes of action, allegations, suits, sums of money, claims and demands whatsoever, in law or equity, which the Client ever had, now has or will have in the future against the Company, arising from the Client’s past or future participation in, or otherwise with respect to, the Program, unless arising from the gross negligence of the Company.
CONFIDENTIALITY
The Company will keep the Client’s information private, and will not share the Client’s information to any third party unless compelled or required by law.
ARBITRATION, CHOICE OF LAW, AND LIMITED REMEDIES
In the event that there ever arises a dispute between the Company and Client with respect to the services provided pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise pertaining to the relationship between the parties in connection with the Agreement, the parties agree to submit to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (Commercial Arbitration and Mediation Center for the Americas Mediation and Arbitration Rules). Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The sole remedy that can be awarded to the Client in the event that an award is granted in arbitration is a refund of the Program Fee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no award of consequential or other damages, unless specifically set forth herein, may be granted to the Client. This agreement shall be construed according to the laws of the State of Maryland. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed unenforceable, the remaining portions of the Agreement shall be severed and remain in full force. If the terms of this Agreement are acceptable, please sign the acceptance below. By doing so, the Client acknowledges that: (1) he/she has received a copy of this letter agreement; (2) he/she has had an opportunity to discuss the contents with the Company and, if desired, to have it reviewed by an attorney; and (3) the Client understands, accepts and agrees to abide by the terms hereof.
