By enrolling in Empowerment Pole & Fitness Studio, I agree to take full responsibility for monthly tuition payments. The rate is to be determined by Empowerment at time of enrollment. Empowerment reserves the right to alter these payments at any time, provided notice is given to the student.

Pole Series tuition payments are automatically charged on the first of each month to the bank credit or debit card provided at registration. Charges reflect payment for the corresponding calendar month.

After 7 days, unpaid balances or failed payments will incur a $15 late fee. Unpaid balances or failed payments may result in removal from class until balance is paid. I understand and agree that all tuition and fees are non-refundable.

All cancellations or withdrawals must be made with written notice at least 72 hours prior to your first class or next billing date. We are not responsible for charges incurred due to late notice of a cancellation.

Tippy Toe IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INJURY (OR LOSS OF PROPERTY) TO ANY PERSON WHILE PRACTICING, TRAINING, TAKING CLASS, PARTICIPATING IN OPEN GYM, PARTIES, OR IN ANY OTHER WAY INVOLVED IN ANY ACTIVITIES AT Tippy Toe FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF Tippy Toe, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, AGENT OR EMPLOYEES.

In consideration of my participation, I hereby release and covenant not to sue Tippy Toe, the owner, any of their employees, teachers, coaches or agents, including the building owner and agency, from any all present and future claims resulting from ordinary negligence of Tippy Toe or others listed for property damage, personal injury or wrongful death, arising as a result of my engaging in or receiving instruction in Tippy Toe or any other
activities or any activities incidental thereto, wherever, whenever or however the same may occur. I hereby
voluntarily waive any and all claims resulting from ordinary negligence, both present and future, that may be made by me, my family, estate, heirs or assigns.

Further, I am aware that the activities practiced at Tippy Toe are vigorous sporting activities involving height and rotation in a unique environment and as such they pose a risk of injury. I understand that Tippy Toe activities and related ventures always involve certain risks, including but not limited to death, serious neck and spinal injuries resulting in bruising, complete or partial paralysis, brain damage and serious injury to virtually all bones, joints, muscles and internal organs and that the safety equipment and apparatus provided for my protection, including the active participation of a coach or teacher who will spot or assist in the performance of certain skills may be inadequate to prevent serious injury. The risk of harm may be limited by all of the safety equipment and trained coaches, but never eliminated. I understand that participation in Tippy Toe activities involves activities incidental to active participation in Tippy Toe, including conditioning, stretching and other activities which may leave me vulnerable to the reckless actions of other participants who may not have complete control over their actions or knowledge of the risks involved and hereby agree to accept my and all inherent risks of property damage, personal injury or death.

I/We agree to obey the class and facility rules and take full responsibility for my/our behavior in addition to any damage I/We may cause the facilities utilized by the studio. I/We give permission for the student(s) to have private lessons with any staff members of Tippy Toe Dance Studio, Salem, Oregon.

I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless Tippy Toe and all others listed for any and all claims arising as a result of my engaging in or receiving instruction in Tippy Toe activities or any activities incidental thereto, whenever, wherever or however the same may occur.

I understand that this waiver is intended to be as broad and as inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of Oregon and agree that if any portion is held invalid, the remainder of the waiver will continue in full legal force and effect. I further agree that the venue for any legal proceedings shall be within the State of Oregon.
