Safety Policy and Terms of Service

Safety Policy

Student safety is paramount. All students practise and train in a safe environment.

We operate in an ego-free environment, which means all students agree to respect each other at all times and train seriously but sensibly; this way, all participants develop safely without fear and intimidation.

The Client represents and warrants that it understands and is able and willing to comply with (and that the Students understand and are able and willing to comply with) the Safety Standards and acknowledge that the failure of the Client or the Students to comply reasonably with the Safety Standards shall not constitute negligence on the part of the Business.

18. Waiver.

Neither Party shall be deemed to have waived any provision of the Agreement or the exercise of any rights held under the Agreement unless such waiver is made expressly and in writing. Waiver by either PA waiver of a breach or violation of any provision of the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent or other breach or violation.

At the request of one Party, the other Party shall execute and deliver such other documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to effect the terms of the Agreement.

20. Severability.

If any provision or the Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall not be affected and shall continue to be valid, legal and enforceable as though the invalid, illegal or unenforceable parts had not been included in the Agreement.

21. Force Majeure

Neither Party shall be liable for any failure to perform under the Agreement when such failure is due to causes beyond that Party’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of state or governmental authorities, acts of terrorism, natural catastrophe, fire, storm, flood, earthquakes, accident, and prolonged shortage of energy. In the event of such delay, the date of delivery or time for completing the Services will be extended by a period of time reasonably necessary by both Parties.
