AFROLETICS TRAINING LIABILITY WAIVER AND RELEASE

This Training Liability Waiver and Release (“Waiver”) applies to all Afroletics activities, including but not limited to classes, trainings, workshops, events, online sessions, on demand videos and instructor education (together “Afroletics Activities”).

“Afroletics” in this document means Isaac Kyere GmbH, Katzlerstr. 15, 10829 Berlin, Germany, and its directors, employees, contractors, trainers and assistants.

By registering for or taking part in Afroletics Activities, I agree to the following:

 

1. Voluntary participation and assumption of risk

1.1 I participate in Afroletics Activities voluntarily and on my own responsibility.

1.2 I understand that Afroletics is a physically demanding dance fitness concept that can include fast movement, jumps, rotations, high intensity exercises and use of equipment. As with any sport or fitness activity, there is a risk of injury. This includes, for example, muscle soreness, strains, sprains, overuse injuries, falls, collisions, dizziness or circulatory problems.

1.3 I understand that even with careful instruction and supervision, injuries and health events cannot be completely excluded. By signing this Waiver I accept these risks for myself.

 

2. Health confirmation and own responsibility

2.1 I confirm that I am in sufficient physical and mental condition to safely take part in Afroletics Activities.

2.2 I understand that Afroletics trainers do not provide medical advice and do not know my individual health history. If I have or suspect any health issues, injuries, pain, cardiovascular problems or other conditions that may affect my ability to exercise, I will consult a doctor before participating.

2.3 During Afroletics Activities I will listen to my body, train within my limits and stop immediately if I feel pain, dizziness, nausea or any other warning signs. I will inform the trainer if I feel unwell.

2.4 I am responsible for choosing suitable clothing and footwear and for ensuring a safe training environment around me, especially when training at home or outdoors.

 

3. Release of liability

3.1 To the extent permitted by applicable law, I release and discharge Afroletics from any liability for damages, losses, costs or injuries that I may suffer in connection with Afroletics Activities, except where such damages are caused by intent or gross negligence on the part of Afroletics.

3.2 This release covers in particular:

  • injuries that occur during or as a result of normal participation in Afroletics Activities

  • injuries that are connected to my own health situation, pre existing conditions or insufficient warm up

  • damage to property that I bring to the training location, unless Afroletics has expressly agreed to take custody of it

3.3 This Waiver does not limit mandatory rights that I have under consumer protection law, nor does it exclude liability where exclusion is not allowed by law (for example for injury to life, body or health caused by intent or gross negligence).

 

4. Indemnification

4.1 If my behaviour during Afroletics Activities causes a third party to suffer damage and this third party asserts claims against Afroletics based on this, I will indemnify Afroletics from such claims to the extent that I am responsible for the damage.

 

5. Online trainings and home workouts

5.1 Sections 1 to 4 also apply to Afroletics Activities that I perform via livestream, video call or on demand content outside a studio or event location.

5.2 I am aware that Afroletics cannot control my training environment when I train at home, outdoors or in third party premises. I am solely responsible for ensuring that the floor is suitable, the area is free of obstacles and that persons, animals and objects around me are protected.

 

6. Media and recordings

6.1 Afroletics may take photos and video recordings during in person events and trainings for documentation and marketing purposes.

6.2 I grant Afroletics a simple, free of charge right to use images and recordings in which I appear, in connection with Afroletics marketing and communication, in particular on websites, social media, print and presentations. Afroletics will not use these images in a way that is knowingly degrading.

6.3 If I do not wish to appear recognisably in such recordings, I will inform Afroletics or the trainer on site before the start of the event. Afroletics will try to take this into account as far as reasonably possible, for example by placing me in an area that is not filmed in close up.

6.4 I may record short clips for private use in accordance with the Afroletics Terms and Conditions. Publishing full classes or essentially complete workouts is not allowed.

 

7. Minors from 16 to under 18 years

7.1 If I am at least sixteen and under eighteen years old, I confirm that I only participate with the consent of my parent or legal guardian.

7.2 If I am a parent or legal guardian signing this Waiver on behalf of a minor, I agree that all statements in this document apply both to me and to the minor. I accept responsibility for the minor’s participation in Afroletics Activities.

 

8. Relationship to Afroletics Terms and Conditions

8.1 I am aware that Afroletics has separate Terms and Conditions that govern the contractual relationship, including payments, refunds, memberships, content usage and data protection.

8.2 This Waiver complements the Afroletics Terms and Conditions and focuses on health, risk and liability in connection with Afroletics Activities. In case of doubt, the limitation of liability provisions in both documents are to be read together and in line with applicable law.

 

9. Governing law

9.1 This Waiver is subject to the laws of Germany. Mandatory consumer protection rules of the country in which I have my habitual residence remain unaffected.

9.2 If I am a business customer, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for disputes arising from or in connection with this Waiver is Berlin. For consumers the statutory places of jurisdiction apply.
