Parent/Guardian Consent, Release and Waiver for a Minor Participant

This document is completed and accepted by a parent or legal guardian on behalf of a named participant under the age of 18 (the "Minor"). It is a legal document that affects your rights and the Minor's rights.

A participant under 18 may not accept this document, and may not accept our adult Release and Waiver of Liability and Assumption of Risk. That adult document does not cover a minor. Participation by a minor requires this document, completed by the adult who holds legal authority to consent for that child.

DRAFT PENDING REVIEW: this language has been drafted for the studio's review and has not yet been reviewed by an attorney.

I confirm that I am 18 years of age or older and that I am the parent or the legal guardian of the Minor named in this consent, or that I otherwise hold legal authority to consent to the Minor's participation and to accept this document on the Minor's behalf.

I confirm that the Minor's name and date of birth I have provided are accurate, and that the relationship I have stated is accurate. I understand Soul Therapy Studios relies on these statements in permitting the Minor to participate.

I consent to the Minor's participation in the classes, workshops, meditations and other activities offered by SOULBODYJESS LLC, doing business as Soul Therapy Studios ("Soul Therapy"), at its studio at 430 Communipaw Avenue, Jersey City, NJ 07304, and in any online practice provided to the Minor with my knowledge.

I confirm the Minor is physically able to take part, and I have disclosed to Soul Therapy any injury, medical condition, medication, allergy or pregnancy that could affect the Minor's participation. I will update the studio if that changes.

I understand the Minor may rest at any point, and I have instructed the Minor to stop and tell the instructor if anything hurts or feels unsafe.

I understand that practice at Soul Therapy involves physical movement — including yoga, Pilates, dance, strength and mobility work, breathwork and related activity — and that physical activity of this kind carries inherent risks, including muscle strain, sprains, joint and back injury, falls, contact with equipment, flooring or other participants, heat, dizziness or fainting, aggravation of an existing condition, and in rare cases serious injury.

I understand these risks cannot be eliminated by instruction, supervision or precaution. Knowing this, I voluntarily consent to the Minor's participation and, on my own behalf and on the Minor's behalf, I expressly assume all such risks, both known and unknown.

To the fullest extent permitted by the law of the State of New Jersey, I release and agree not to sue SOULBODYJESS LLC, doing business as Soul Therapy Studios, and its owners, instructors, employees, contractors and agents for any claim arising out of the Minor's participation, other than a claim arising from gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

I agree to indemnify and hold Soul Therapy harmless from any claim brought by or on behalf of the Minor, or by any other person, arising out of the Minor's participation, to the extent permitted by law.

I understand that a release signed by a parent or guardian on a minor's behalf may not be enforceable in every respect under New Jersey law, and that nothing in this document is intended to waive any right that cannot lawfully be waived.

I understand Soul Therapy is not a childcare provider and does not supervise the Minor outside the activity itself. I will ensure the Minor is accompanied to and collected from the studio as the studio requires, and I will remain reachable at the contact details I have provided for the duration of the activity.

I agree the Minor will follow instructor guidance and studio rules, and I understand participation may be ended where behaviour affects the safety or wellbeing of others.

If the Minor is injured or unwell and I cannot be reached immediately, I authorise Soul Therapy to seek emergency medical care for the Minor, and I accept responsibility for the cost of that care.

Soul Therapy will not use the Minor's image in marketing without my separate written permission. Information about the Minor is handled in line with our Privacy Policy and is kept to what the studio needs for safe participation.

I have read this document in full, I understand it, and I accept it freely on the Minor's behalf and my own. I understand a record of this acceptance is kept, including the version of this document, the date and time, and the registration it was given for.

This document is governed by the law of the State of New Jersey. If any part is held unenforceable, the remainder continues in effect.
