Disclaimer of Guarantee: Nothing in this Agreement and nothing in Coach’s statements to Customer shall be construed as a promise or guarantee about the outcome or results arising from the services provided to the Customer under this Agreement. Coach makes no such promises or guarantees. Coach’s comments about the outcome or results of the services, such as potential increased happiness, physical well-being, or success, are expressions of opinion only. Customer’s results are dependent upon a number of factors, and may vary substantially from those expressed by Coach, or Coach’s employees, presenters or other Program Customers.
Coach can teach Customer everything Coach knows, but Coach can't implement it for Customer. As it is in life, how far Customer goes is up to Customer and Customer’s ability to implement what Coach teaches Customer. It's stipulated by law and Coach’s good intentions for Customer that Coach let Customer know this. Customer will get the most cutting-edge training on the market and it's up to Customer to make it happen.
Customer should know that all products and services by Coach are for educational and informational purposes only. Nothing on any of Coach’s websites, or any of Coach’s content or curriculum is a promise or guarantee of results or future gains, and Coach does not offer any psychiatric, legal, medical, tax or other professional advice. Any mental health or general Program outcomes referenced on any of Coach’s sites or social media, are illustrative of concepts only and should not be considered exact promises for actual or future performance.
Making decisions based on any information presented in Coach’s products, events, services, or website, should be done only with the knowledge that Customer could experience risk or losses just like any personal development or financial endeavor. Customer should exercise caution and always consult Customer’s therapist, physician, accountant, legal representation or medical support team before acting on this or any information related to a lifestyle change, embodiment practices, breathwork practices or Customer’s business or finances. Customer alone is responsible and accountable for Customer’s decisions, actions and results in life, and by Customer’s purchase of Program here Customer agrees not to attempt to hold Coach liable for Customer’s decisions, actions or results, at any time, under any circumstance. Customer’s use of any information provided by Coach, in any fashion, is at Customer’s own risk and discretion.
Under no circumstances, including, but not limited to, negligence, shall Coach or its affiliates be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages that result from the use of, or inability to use, Coach’s websites, including any messaging, blogs and comments of others; emails; products; services; or third party materials, products or services, made available by Coach in any way, even if Coach is advised beforehand of the possibility of such damages. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain categories of damages, the above limitation may not apply to Customer. In such states, Coach’s liability and the liability of Coach’s affiliates, is limited to the fullest extent permitted by such state law. Customer specifically acknowledges and agrees that Coach is not liable for any defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of any Program Customer. If Customer is dissatisfied with Program, any of Coach’s sites, materials, products and/or services, or any terms and conditions associated therewith, Customer’s exclusive remedy is to discontinue participation in Program and/or Customer’s use of such sites, materials, products and/or services. Non-refundable programs shall not be subject to banking disputes when Program materials and access have been provided to Customer upon purchase of Program, including in the interim of payment plan completion.
Non-Coach Sponsored Events and Activities: Per Paragraph 2, above, Customer is entitled to participate in various events, activities and groups that are offered to Customer and other Program Customers by and through Coach. During Customer’s participation in these events, activities and groups, Customer may be invited to participate in events, activities or groups that are sponsored or hosted by other Program Members. Customer acknowledges and agrees that, absent Coach’s acknowledgement in writing that an event, activity or group is Coach- sponsored, Customer hereby waives, releases, discharges, indemnifies, holds harmless and agrees not to sue (as may be applicable) Coach, its owners, employees, officers, shareholders, landlords, lessees, servants, representatives, affiliates, agents, invitees, members, instructors, guests or any person or entity connected with Company (collectively referred to herein as “Released Parties”) with respect to any and all liability, responsibility, damages, losses, claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from any personal injury, accident, illness, death and/or property loss caused or sustained in any manner, whatsoever, in connection with Customer’s participation in any non-Coach-sponsored events, activities or groups.
Dispute Resolution; Attorney’s Fees: All disputes arising under or concerning this Agreement are to be submitted to binding arbitration in Los Angeles, California, in accordance with the laws of California. Customer may only resolve disputes with Coach on an individual basis, and, may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action, or private attorney general action), unless all relevant parties specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. With regard to any dispute between Coach and Customer arising under this Contract, the Parties agree to bear their own attorney’s fees and costs and no Party will be entitled to recover attorney’s fees and costs from the other party unless permitted under statute or law.
Miscellaneous Provisions:
(a) This Agreement is the only agreement between the Parties and there is no other collateral agreement (oral or written) between the Parties in any manner relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
(b) No modification, amendment, waiver, termination or discharge of this Agreement or any of its provisions will be binding on either party unless confirmed in writing, signed by each party.
(c) If any provision of this Agreement is determined invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then that determination will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions hereof; provided, however, that if any such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability materially affects the Coach’s right to receive compensation hereunder, Coach shall be entitled to the reasonable value of Coach’s services and to retain all compensation paid to Coach hereunder as a payment toward the reasonable value of such services.
(d) Each of the Parties hereto warrant and represent that in executing this Agreement (a) they have relied solely upon their own judgment, belief, and knowledge and the advice and recommendations of their own independently selected and retained counsel, concerning the nature, extent and duration of their rights and claims, and that they have not been influenced to any extent whatsoever in executing this Agreement by any representations or statements with respect to any matters made by any party or representative of any party; or (b) they have intentionally refrained from doing so and have knowingly and voluntarily waived such right.
Medical Release of Liability
RELEASE OF LIABILITY AGREEMENT (For All Breathwork, Somatic, and Embodiment Practices)
As the Customer and in consideration for participation in an Event or Program with Kaleidoscope Company LLC, Customer’s agree that Customer’s participation in any breathwork workshop or embodiment experience is entirely voluntary and that they alone assume any risk associated with participation. Any actions or lack of actions, taken by Customer, of such advice is done so solely by choice and responsibility, and any harm, injury, or loss that may occur to Customer’s self or property as a result of Customer’s participation in the workshop, session or event, is neither the responsibility nor liability of Kaleidoscope Company LLC nor any facilitator or coach working under Kaleidoscope Company LLC.
Customer understands that during any event, they may be photographed or video recorded and this content may be used for promotional and/or training purposes. Breathwork calls on zoom are subject to being included in other products owned by Coach and made accessible to people outside of the live call attendees. Any commentary or participation on the call may be included in the recording or may not. Coach may make any attempts deemed reasonable by Coach to protect the general confidentiality of Customers when re-using or re-posting content including Customer participation. By purchasing this Product, you agree to these terms.
Customer understands that breathwork is not a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care or substance abuse treatment, and will not use it in place of any form of therapy. Customer recognizes that breathwork requires emotional, physical, and mental effort, exertion, and behavioral experimentation, on Customer’s part, which may cause physical, mental or emotional injury. Customer fully acknowledges and takes full responsibility for all the risks involved. Customer understands that it is Customer’s responsibility to consult with Customer’s health care provider prior to participating in breathwork or other somatic practices.
CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR BREATHWORK
Like most types of therapy, Breathwork isn’t appropriate for everyone. It is also important to note that a contraindication for some types of Breathwork may not be one for another. For example, types of breathwork that use rapid breathing may be very risky for someone with certain health conditions, such as a high blood pressure, cardiovascular issues, history of hallucinations, seizures, a recent surgery, or osteoporosis. However, a type of Breathwork that utilizes a more gentle and relaxed form of breathing may be perfectly safe, and even beneficial. It’s recommended that you consult with your healthcare provider (including any mental health provider) and consult with the Breathwork practitioner before participating in any form of Breathwork. Further, should a Customer experience non-desired effects during a Breathwork practice, they agree to consult the Program instructor during the practice or immediately after for guidance and support.
Following is a list of some of the most common contraindications for Breathwork:
- Cardiovascular problems
- High or abnormal blood pressure
- History of aneurisms
- Epilepsy or history of seizures
- Anyone on heavy medication
- Severe psychiatric symptoms, particularly psychosis or paranoia
- Bipolar Depression
- Osteoporosis
- Recent Surgery
- Glaucoma
- Pregnancy
- An active addiction
- Any person with diagnosed or non-diagnosed mental illness who isn’t in treatment or lacks adequate support
This list is not all inclusive and we generally recommend if you have a question about a condition you may have that is not listed, that you consult a physician before beginning breathwork.
If you have or have had any of the listed conditions, we strongly recommend you consult a physician before beginning breathwork.
By checking this box, you acknowledge that you have read the above warning and agree to move forward at your own risk.
Breathwork can result in intense physical and emotional release. Therefore, it is not advised for persons with a history of cardiovascular disease, including angina or heart attack, high blood pressure, glaucoma, retinal detachment, osteoporosis, any specific recent physical injuries or surgeries. Breathwork is not advised for persons with severe mental illness or seizure disorders or for person’s using major medications. It is also unsuitable for anyone with a personal or family history of aneurysms. Pregnant women are advised against practicing breathwork without first consulting and getting approval from their primary care physician and the Breathwork facilitator before their first session. Breathwork should be done at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for Customer – this will vary person to person and is not determined by the instructor regardless of the breathwork patterns offered by the instructor.
In the event that Customer is injured, Customer agrees to assume any financial obligation, either through Customer’s personal health insurance, or through some other means, for any medical costs incurred. Kaleidoscope Company LLC and associated facilitators assume no responsibility for any medical expenses, injury, or damage suffered by Customer in connection with the use of any facilities or services in connection with the event.
IN CONSIDERATION OF CUSTOMER’S PARTICIPATION IN THE EVENT, THE CUSTOMER HEREBY GENERALLY RELEASE, AND PROMISE TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS KALEIDOSCOPE COMPANY LLC AND FACILITATORS, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AGENTS AND EMPLOYEES (THE “RELEASE PARTIES”), FROM ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER IN RELATION TO ANY AND ALL BREATHWORK AND EMBODIMENT PRACTICES OFFERED IN AND THROUGHOUT ALL KALEIDOSCOPE COMPANY LLC PROGRAMS.

Customer agrees that the purpose of this agreement is that it shall be an enforceable RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY as broad and inclusive as is permitted by California law. Customer agrees that if any portion or provision of this agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder will continue in full force and effect.
