SLAP DANCE STUDIO ENROLMENT POLICY

Please read the policies below carefully as the following terms and conditions govern your payment and enrolment at SLAP Dance Studio Pte Ltd (hereafter “SLAP”).

I acknowledge that I am at liberty to at any time to cease or suspend my participation if I am in any way incapacitated, unable to continue or feel that any activity may result in bodily injury to myself or other participants. Should I decide to continue despite such conditions, any encouragement, recommendations or advice given by the instructors of SLAP DANCE STUDIO does not negate the voluntary nature of my decision.

In view of the aforesaid, and by my voluntary participation in the activities of SLAP, I hereby, to the full extent permitted by law, WAIVE ALL LEGAL RIGHTS OF ACTION AGAINST AND FULLY RELEASE SLAP, its directors, instructors, employees, agents, landlords, leases or franchisees (Related Parties) for the loss, damages, or injury howsoever arising out of or in relation to the participation by myself in the activities conducted or organized by SLAP including without limitation, liability for any negligent or tortious act or omission, breach of duty, breach of contract or breach of statutory duty on the part of SLAP and/or Related Parties.

Health and Conduct I understand and acknowledge the dangers associated with the consumption of alcohol or any mind altering drugs before and during the activity and I take full responsibility for any injury, loss or damage associated with their consumption. I agree not to drink alcohol or take drugs prohibited by law before or during in any activities conducted or organized by SLAP.

By signing this document, I acknowledge that I have been advised to consult with my physician with respect to any past or present injury, illness, pregnancy or any other health related condition or any kind whatsoever that may affect my participation and ability to participate in the program. I acknowledge that I have discussed the appropriateness of pole, aerial, chair and other dance programs in connection with any illness or condition that I have or have had with my physician, and that I knowingly execute this release from liability and negligence. Specifically, and without derogation to the foregoing, I acknowledge that SLAP has recommended that pregnant women DO NOT participate in pole and aerial dancing.
