I agree to disclose any physical limitations, disabilities, ailments or impairments (including those caused by medications or other substances) that may affect my ability to participate within private training sessions, classes and activities operated by DOGPOUND FITNESS.
It is the recommendation of DOGPOUND FITNESS that I consult with a physician before participating in the Activities, and that my participation in the Activities is purely voluntary at my own risk.

PROVISIONS RELATED TO COVID-19: The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. DOGPOUND FITNESS has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. However, I understand and acknowledge that DOGPOUND FITNESS cannot guarantee that I or my child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19 on the DOGPOUND FITNESS premises. I further understand and acknowledge that engaging in the Activities or otherwise being present at DOGPOUND FITNESS could increase my risk and my child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19.

Therefore, I agree that should I or any child who accompanies me to DOGPOUND FITNESS contracts COVID-19, I agree to indemnify and hold DOGPOUND FITNESS, its officers, agents, servants, employees, and landowners and their successors and assigns harmless from any and all claims for damages should my child or I contract COVID-19 from our presence at the DOGPOUND FITNESS premises. I further agree that I will not file, nor cause to be filed, nor participate in any lawsuit against DOGPOUND FITNESS, its agents, servants, employees and any other person who may be in any way connected with the Activities at DOGPOUND FITNESS, including but not limited to owners of DOGPOUND FITNESS, the staff with whom I am receiving services, their employees and agents for injuries and/or death as a result of contracting COVID-19. I agree that if I take any steps to make a claim for damages against DOGPOUND FITNESS, its agents, employees or any other released parties arising out of my engagement in the Activities at DOGPOUND FITNESS’ facilities, I shall be obligated to pay all attorneys' fees and costs incurred as a result of such claim. I acknowledge that I can go elsewhere to receive fitness training, and I acknowledge that DOGPOUND FITNESS is not the only fitness training facility where I can receive such fitness training. By signing this agreement, I acknowledge that I am free to go to other fitness training facilities which may not require my agreement to accept responsibility for contracting COVID-19 and I chose to engage in the Activities at DOGPOUND FITNESS. In addition, I agree that if any dispute or claim relating in any way to the services provided by DOGPOUND FITNESS pursuant to the terms of this agreement will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, rather than in court, in accordance with the related provision set forth herein.
Health Status Prior to Venue Access. I affirm, represent, and warrant that I have not experienced any symptom of COVID-19, tested positive for COVID-19, or been exposed to any individual who is exhibiting any symptom or has tested positive for COVID-19 in the 14 days prior to the date of any event scheduled at the DOGPOUND FITNESS premises in which I intend to participate.

I must comply with the DOGPOUND FITNESS cancellation policy whereby if I do not submit my electronic cancellation at least 12 hours in advance of a scheduled session or class, then I shall be entirely responsible for the price of such session or class.

ADDITIONAL RIGHTS TO CANCELLATION: You may also cancel this contract if (a) pursuant to a doctor’s order, you cannot physically receive the services because of significant physical disability for a period in excess of six months; (b) you die, in which case your estate shall be relieved of any further obligation for payment under the contract not then due and owing; (c) you move your residence more than twenty-five miles from any health club operated by DOGPOUND FITNESS; (d) the services as stated in this agreement cease to be offered; (e) the services to be provided pursuant to this agreement are not available within one year from the date you sign this agreement.

This agreement shall be binding and remain in effect for as long as I participate in the Activities at DOGPOUND FITNESS or associated with DOGPOUND FITNESS. In the event any portion of this agreement is deemed to be void, invalid, or unenforceable, such portion shall be severed from the document and will not impair the remainder of the agreement. I expressly agree that this agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the state of Delaware and this release shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware.

I agree that in the event any clause or provision of this agreement is deemed invalid, the enforceability of the remaining provisions of this agreement shall not be affected.

ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT & CLASS ACTION WAIVER:

(c) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the Activities or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Contents (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. I agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the terms set forth herein and that DOGPOUND FITNESS and I are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.

(d) Exceptions and Opt-out. I acknowledge that, as limited exceptions to Section 21(a) above: (i) I may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our respective intellectual property rights. In addition, I acknowledge that I retain the right to opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate any Dispute if no later than the time of the Initial Dispute Resolution (see infra Section 21(c)) I provide DOGPOUND FITNESS with written notice of my desire to do so by regular mail sent to the attention of Dogpound, Chief Executive Officer at 1 Renwick St, New York, New York, 10013.

(e) Initial Dispute Resolution and Notification. I agree that, before initiating any Dispute or arbitration proceeding, we will attempt to negotiate an informal resolution of any Dispute. I acknowledge that, to begin this process, before initiating any arbitration proceeding, I must send a Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) by certified mail to the attention of Dogpound, Chief Executive Officer at 1 Renwick St, New York, New York, 10013. I acknowledge that, in the Notice, I must describe the nature and basis of the Dispute and the relief I am seeking. If we are unable to resolve the Dispute within 45 days after DOGPOUND FITNESS’ receipt of the Notice, then I or DOGPOUND FITNESS may initiate arbitration proceedings as set out below.

(f) Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. Any arbitration will be conducted by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect, except as modified hereby. The JAMS Rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to JAMS and give notice to the other party as specified in the JAMS Rules. JAMS provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com. JAMS will appoint an arbitrator that is either (1) a retired federal or state court judge, or (2) an attorney who has been licensed to practice law in the state of New York for at least 10 years. The arbitration will be conducted by an in-person hearing, unless we both agree otherwise. If JAMS fails or declines to conduct the arbitration for any reason, we will mutually select a different arbitration administrator. If we cannot agree, a court will appoint a different arbitration administrator. Any arbitration hearings will take place in Los Angeles County. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement. During the arbitration, both DOGPOUND FITNESS and I may take one deposition of the opposing party, limited to four hours. If we cannot agree on a time and location for a deposition, the arbitrator will resolve any scheduling disputes.

(g) Arbitration Costs. Each of DOGPOUND FITNESS and I shall pay its pro rata share of JAMS fees and expenses as set forth in the JAMS fee schedule in effect at the time of the commencement of any arbitration in accordance with the related terms set forth in JAM’s Streamlined Arbitration Rules.

(h) Class Action Waiver. DOGPOUND FITNESS AND I AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. I further acknowledge that, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, neither JAMS nor the arbitrator may consolidate another person’s claims with your claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding for any purpose. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 21 shall be null and void.

(i) Severability. If an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of this agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this agreement will still apply.

We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the Activities or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Contents (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. I agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the terms set forth herein and that DOGPOUND FITNESS and I are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.

I acknowledge that, as limited exceptions to Section 21(a) above: (i) I may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our respective intellectual property rights. In addition, I acknowledge that I retain the right to opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate any Dispute if no later than the time of the Initial Dispute Resolution (see infra Section 21(c)) I provide DOGPOUND FITNESS with written notice of my desire to do so by regular mail sent to the attention of Dogpound, Chief Executive Officer at 627 North Robertson Blvd., West Hollywood, CA, 90069.
Initial Dispute Resolution and Notification. I agree that, before initiating any Dispute or arbitration proceeding, we will attempt to negotiate an informal resolution of any Dispute. I acknowledge that, to begin this process, before initiating any arbitration proceeding, I must send a Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) by certified mail to the attention of Dogpound, Chief Executive Officer at 627 North Robertson Blvd., West Hollywood, CA, 90069.
I acknowledge that, in the Notice, I must describe the nature and basis of the Dispute and the relief I am seeking. If we are unable to resolve the Dispute within 45 days after DOGPOUND FITNESS’ receipt of the Notice, then I or DOGPOUND FITNESS may initiate arbitration proceedings as set out below.
Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. Any arbitration will be conducted by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect, except as modified hereby. The JAMS Rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to JAMS and give notice to the other party as specified in the JAMS Rules. JAMS provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com. JAMS will appoint an arbitrator that is either (1) a retired federal or state court judge, or (2) an attorney who has been licensed to practice law in the state of New York for at least 10 years. The arbitration will be conducted by an in-person hearing, unless we both agree otherwise. If JAMS fails or declines to conduct the arbitration for any reason, we will mutually select a different arbitration administrator. If we cannot agree, a court will appoint a different arbitration administrator. Any arbitration hearings will take place in Los Angeles County. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement. During the arbitration, both DOGPOUND FITNESS and I may take one deposition of the opposing party, limited to four hours. If we cannot agree on a time and location for a deposition, the arbitrator will resolve any scheduling disputes.
Arbitration Costs. Each of DOGPOUND FITNESS and I shall pay its pro rata share of JAMS fees and expenses as set forth in the JAMS fee schedule in effect at the time of the commencement of any arbitration in accordance with the related terms set forth in JAM’s Streamlined Arbitration Rules.
Class Action Waiver. DOGPOUND FITNESS AND I AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. I further acknowledge that, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, neither JAMS nor the arbitrator may consolidate another person’s claims with your claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding for any purpose. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 21 shall be null and void.
Severability. If an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of this agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this agreement will still apply.
