Terms & Conditions of Use

These Terms & Conditions of Use (“this agreement”) apply to all services offered by Pilates on Ludlow LLC (POL, the website, our website). 

1. Acceptance of Terms. You hereby agree to be bound by this agreement, which sets forth legally-binding terms for your use of our website and participation in classes at POL. Before you can book a class at POL, you will be required to check a box indicating your acceptance of this agreement. We may modify this agreement from time to time, and such modification will be effective upon its posting on the website. You agree to be bound by any modification after any such modification is posted; therefore, it is important that you periodically review this agreement.
2. General Registration Requirements. As part of the POL class booking process, you are asked to check a box indicating your acceptance of this agreement. You represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, and complete registration information and (b) update your registration data as necessary. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, POL reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account. 
3. Health Disclaimer. Physical exercise, with or without the use of Pilates equipment or any other equipment suggested by a POL instructor, can be strenuous. As with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. POL urges and advises you to consult with a licensed medical doctor before beginning any physical exercise regimen, including taking classes and using any suggested equipment at POL.
4. Personal Responsibility. Your agreement to these Terms & Conditions of Use acknowledges your understanding that in Pilates classes you progress at your own pace and are not required to perform all equipment techniques or other suggested movements. It is your responsibility to elect or decline to perform any physical activity during POL classes based on your ability and comfort level. If at any point you experience pain or discomfort, have difficulty breathing, or feel overexertion or fatigue, you agree to rest before continuing your session. POL instructors do not provide medical advice or diagnosis. You further certify that you are physically fit and that a licensed medical doctor has verified your physical condition for participation in Pilates. If you are pregnant, become pregnant, or are post-natal, checking the box at registration affirms that you have your doctor’s approval to take Pilates classes. 
5. Liability Waiver - General. By checking the box at registration you are confirming your agreement to these Terms & Conditions of Use. You are further acknowledging that participation in classes at POL exposes you to risk of injury, and you hereby release POL, its owner, instructors, independent contractors, employees, and affiliates from any and all liability, negligence, or other claims arising from, or in any way connected with, your presence in the POL studio. You affirm that you, alone, are responsible for deciding to practice Pilates and hereby agree to irrevocably release and waive any claims that you have now, or hereafter may have, against POL, its owner, instructors, independent contractors, employees, and affiliates. You agree that you shall not, now or at any future time, bring any legal action against any POL-related parties, and that this waiver is binding on you, your heirs, spouse, children, legal representatives, successors, and assigns. Your agreement to this liability waiver is binding from this day forth.
6. Liability Waiver - Class Level. POL offers Beginner, Mixed, Intermediate, Advanced, and other types of group classes. Class descriptions can be found on our website, booking app (Momence), ClassPass.com, and Gympass.com. Clients are strongly encouraged to choose classes based on their ability as noted in class descriptions, not based on convenience of day or hour. For example, we state that Mixed level classes are suitable for clients who have taken a minimum of three Beginner classes, and that basic knowledge of equipment and Pilates breathing is assumed. Instructors teach to the level posted on the class schedule; clients should expect to work at the posted level. By booking a class at POL, you are confirming your understanding that classes are taught to the posted level, that you have no expectation for modifications if you have booked into an inappropriate level, and that you release POL, its owner, instructors, independent contractors, employees, and affiliates from any and all liability, negligence, or other claims in the event you sustain any injury in any class you choose to book.
