⚠️ THIS IS A SAMPLE, NOT LEGAL ADVICE. SavaSync is provided by Tricky Labs LLC; we are not a law firm. You MUST have an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction review and adapt this waiver for your specific Classes and state law before using it. Waivers vary in enforceability by state. Some states refuse to enforce pre-injury liability waivers entirely. Some require specific font sizes. Some require an opt-out window. Several states — including Maine, Connecticut, and Utah — have refused to enforce pre-injury liability waivers signed by a parent on behalf of a minor; if your Classes involve minors, this is a critical issue to raise with your attorney. Do not copy this verbatim and rely on it in court.

How to use this template

Have a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction adapt this sample to your state, your specific activities (yoga is different from CrossFit is different from aerial silks), and your business structure.
Replace all bracketed placeholders (e.g., [STUDIO NAME]) with your actual studio and jurisdiction information.
Once your attorney has approved the final wording, copy it into the waiver editor in SavaSync settings (Settings → Liability Waiver → Edit).
Students will be required to sign the latest version of your waiver before booking their next Class, with their typed name and a checked agreement constituting an electronic signature under the federal ESIGN Act.

Liability Waiver, Release, and Assumption of Risk Agreement

Studio: [STUDIO NAME] Effective Date: [DATE]

By signing this Agreement, I (the "Participant") acknowledge that I am voluntarily participating in classes, activities, and services offered by [STUDIO NAME] ("the Studio") through the SavaSync platform. I am at least 18 years of age (or my parent/guardian has signed on my behalf), and I have read and understood every section of this Agreement before signing.

1. Acknowledgment of Risks

I understand that participation in fitness activities — including but not limited to [YOGA / PILATES / STRENGTH TRAINING / SPIN / DANCE / AERIAL / OTHER] — involves inherent risks that no amount of care or skill can eliminate. These risks include, without limitation:

Sprains, strains, dislocations, fractures, and other musculoskeletal injuries
Cardiovascular events, including heart attack and stroke, particularly for participants with pre-existing conditions
Falls, slips, and collisions with equipment, walls, the floor, or other participants
Equipment failure (mats, props, weights, machines, aerial apparatus, ropes, straps)
Exposure to communicable illness from other participants or shared equipment
Heat-related illness, dehydration, and overexertion
Psychological discomfort and emotional reactions to physical exertion
Injuries caused by my own actions or inactions, the actions or inactions of other participants, or conditions at the venue

I acknowledge that the foregoing list is not exhaustive and that other risks, both known and unknown, are present in fitness activity.

2. Voluntary Assumption of Risk

I voluntarily and freely assume all risks, both known and unknown, arising out of or related to my participation in classes and activities at the Studio. I represent that I am physically and medically able to safely participate in the activities I am booking, that I have consulted my physician where appropriate, and that no condition exists that would make my participation unsafe.

I understand that I am responsible for monitoring my own physical condition during class, for modifying or stopping my activity if I experience pain or discomfort, and for asking the Instructor before attempting any movement I am uncertain about.

3. Release and Hold Harmless

In exchange for being permitted to participate in classes and activities offered by [STUDIO NAME], I, on behalf of myself, my heirs, successors, and personal representatives, HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE [STUDIO NAME], its owners, officers, directors, employees, instructors, contractors, agents, and the owners and operators of the venues where Classes are held (collectively, the "Released Parties"), from any and all liability for any injury, illness, loss, damage, or harm that I may sustain in connection with my participation in classes or activities at the Studio, including any injury caused by the ordinary negligence of any Released Party.

This release does not extend to liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or intentional acts by any Released Party. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive any right I may have that cannot be waived by law in [STATE OF GOVERNING LAW].

4. Indemnification

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, judgments, settlements, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) brought by any third party arising out of or related to my participation in classes or activities at the Studio, except to the extent such claims arise out of the Released Parties' gross negligence or willful misconduct.

5. Medical Authorization

In the event of an injury or medical emergency during a Class, I authorize the Studio's Instructors and staff to summon emergency medical services and to consent to such emergency medical treatment as may be reasonably necessary. I understand that the Studio will make reasonable efforts to contact me or my emergency contact before authorizing significant medical procedures where time permits.

I represent that I am responsible for the cost of any emergency medical treatment, and that I will not seek reimbursement from the Released Parties for medical expenses arising from my participation.

6. Photo and Video Release

The Studio may, from time to time, photograph or video-record Classes for promotional, educational, or social-media purposes. By signing this Agreement, I grant the Studio a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use my likeness as captured in any such photo or recording for those purposes, without compensation to me, and without further notice.

☐ I OPT OUT of the photo and video release. If I check this box, the Studio will make reasonable efforts not to include my likeness in photos or recordings. (Note: in group settings, the Studio cannot guarantee my absence from incidental background imagery.)

(Studios: configure the opt-out behavior in your booking flow. SavaSync's standard waiver UI captures the typed-name signature; if you want a separate photo opt-out checkbox, add it as a separate Booking Intake Form question.)

7. Statement of Fitness

I represent and warrant that:

I am in good physical health and capable of safely participating in the Classes I am booking.
I have disclosed to the Studio (verbally to my Instructor before class, or in writing through the booking system) any pre-existing medical conditions, injuries, allergies, medications, or pregnancy that may affect my ability to participate safely.
I am not under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, or any medication that impairs my judgment or physical coordination when I attend class.
If I am pregnant, I have obtained my physician's clearance to participate.

I understand that this Agreement does not require the Studio to assess my fitness for participation, and that the Studio is entitled to rely on my representations in this section.

8. Children and Minors

If the Participant is under the age of 18, this Agreement must be signed by a parent or legal guardian. By signing, the parent or guardian represents that they have legal custody of the minor, have read every section of this Agreement, and agree to be bound by its terms on the minor's behalf — including the release in Section 3 and the indemnification in Section 4.

(Studios: confirm that pre-injury liability waivers signed on behalf of a minor by a parent are enforceable in your state. Some states — Maine, Connecticut, Utah, and others — have refused to enforce such waivers.)

9. Effective Period

This Agreement is binding from the date I sign it through the duration of my use of the Studio's services. If the Studio updates the waiver materially, I will be asked to re-sign the new version before booking any further Classes. My signature on this version remains binding for any Class I booked while this version was in effect.

10. Severability and Governing Law

If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. The unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it enforceable.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of [STATE OF GOVERNING LAW], without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement will be resolved in the state and federal courts located in [COUNTY], [STATE], and I consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

11. Electronic Signature

I acknowledge that by typing my full legal name below and checking the box marked "I have read and agree to the terms above," I am providing my electronic signature. I understand that under the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (the "ESIGN Act"), and under the corresponding state laws (such as California's Uniform Electronic Transactions Act), this electronic signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature. I understand that my signature, the IP address from which I signed, my browser user-agent, the timestamp, and the exact text of this Agreement at the moment I signed will all be recorded by SavaSync and retained by the Studio as a legal record of this Agreement.

Participant Name (typed): _________________________

Date: _________________________

Signature (typed name + agreement checkbox in the booking flow): ☐ I have read and agree to the terms above.

(Studios: SavaSync's SignWaiverStep captures the typed name and the agreement checkbox. The IP, user-agent, and timestamp are captured automatically by the sign-waiver edge function. No printed signature is collected.)
