  • I have no medical condition that would prevent safe participation, OR I have consulted a medical professional who has confirmed I may take part.

  • YoBalance, its owners, instructors, and staff are not liable for any injury, illness, or property damage I may sustain while participating in classes, except where caused by YoBalance’s negligence that cannot legally be excluded under the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977.

  • I understand that nothing in this waiver limits YoBalance’s liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any rights that cannot legally be excluded.
