Disclaimer and Terms and Conditions for Online Pre-recorded classes.

It is important that any participant taking part in online pre-recorded classes, read and understand the following Disclaimer and terms relating to their practice.

You should only participate in the online classes once you have read and agree to these terms. In these terms, you, the customer, are referred to as ‘the participant’.

The participant understands that they have fully read and understood what is included in their online purchase. Payment should be made prior to attending sessions, and participants are advised that no refunds will be given once purchase has been completed.

By choosing to participate in online recorded Pilates sessions with Sarah Edwards, Pilates Instructor, (accessed via www.positivepilatessolihull.co.uk, and under the brand Positive Pilates with Sarah) the participant accepts that they undertake and engage in the session without supervision, at their own risk. Participants are encouraged to exercise common sense and always seek the guidance of a medical professional before undertaking any form of online sport and physical activity. Participants with pre-existing medical conditions, injuries or disabilities that may affect their ability to participate in the online sport and physical activity session, should seek medical advice and obtain written confirmation of their suitability to take part, before participating.

The participant should consider their personal space when doing Pilates. Ensure that you are practising in a safe environment, where there are no trip hazards around you, (including dogs, cats, children etc.) and that you are only using equipment appropriate to the session.

For my part, as a member of CIMSPA, (the professional development body for the UK’s Sports and physical activity sector), and as a Comprehensive Pilates Instructor with Polestar Pilates International, I agree to:

• Hold and maintain my professional qualifications in Pilates and deliver to a target audience that is appropriate to my training.

• Hold qualifications that are specific to the participant population, and which meet sector-specific standards with the correct knowledge and skills presented, whilst operating within the scope of my role.

• Hold appropriate Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Cover.

• Have clients read and understand a Disclaimer statement, as above.

• Hold any information given to me in terms of client health or medical conditions in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) 2018 which contain strict provisions regarding the holding of sensitive and personal data.

• Outline the type of activity, the target audience and the duration of the activity prior to starting the practice.

• Deliver sessions that highlight correct technique throughout, and provide modifications where appropriate.

These terms are based on guidance from CIMSPA’s policy for ‘Delivering Sport and Physical Activity online’, available at www.cimspa.co.uk
