  In consideration of my participation in Pilates classes, workshops, events or any activities (the “Programs”) offered by Briq Haus LLC (the “Studio”), I agree to the following terms: I acknowledge that participating in the Programs involves inherent risks, including but not limited to intense physical activity and exertion; muscle strains, sprains, or other injuries resulting from movement or use of equipment; slips, trips, or falls on studio premises; exposure to high temperatures during hot mat classes which may lead to dehydration, dizziness, or other heat-related conditions; malfunction or misuse of reformer equipment or other studio apparatus.

I agree to notify the Studio’s instructors of any pre-existing medical conditions, injuries, or surgeries before my first class and to provide updates as necessary. I understand that failure to disclose such information may increase my risk of injury. I, on behalf of myself and my heirs, assigns, executors, administrators, and legal representatives, hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless Briq Haus LLC, its officers, employees, agents, contractors, and the owners of the premises where the Studio operates, from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, or liability for injuries or damages arising out of or connected with my participation in the Programs, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Briq Haus LLC, its officers, employees, agents, contractors, and the property owners from any claims, demands, or causes of action, including reasonable attorney’s fees, resulting from my participation in the Programs or use of the Studio’s facilities and equipment. I confirm that my participation in the Programs is voluntary. I understand that I may withdraw from participation at any time. I agree to follow all Studio policies, rules, and instructions provided by instructors and staff. I understand that failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in my removal from the class or Studio premises without refund. I acknowledge that the Studio reserves the right to refuse service or participation in classes for any reason, including but not limited to concerns for my safety or the safety of others. I agree that, except for monetary refund, I have no claim against Briq Haus LLC or the landlord of the premises (except for the monetary refund) by reason of their refusal to allow me to participate in the Programs. I grant permission for Briq Haus LLC to use photographs or videos taken during classes for promotional purposes. I understand that I may opt out of this clause by notifying the Studio in writing. If any provision of this agreement is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland. I have read this Liability Waiver and Release Agreement in full, understand its contents, and voluntarily agree to its terms.
