RELEASE AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK

Although Infinite Crescendo, LLC ("Infinite Crescendo" or "we") has found that breathwork generally is safe and helpful to participants, we provide here risks and warnings so that you may assess whether to participate in the breathwork course.  This agreement also sets out the liabilities you will assume by participating in the breathwork course.

1.   Prior to participating in the breathwork course: (a) you must listen to all instructional videos within the offering, and (b) you should consult with your physician or other medical provider or therapist about whether this breathwork course is appropriate for you, especially if you have any of the following conditions: high blood pressure, asthma, cardiovascular disease (including past heart attacks or cardiovascular surgery), psychiatric diagnosis, recent surgery, past or recent injuries (such as concussions, fractures, or dislocations), glaucoma, retinal detachment, epilepsy or other seizure conditions, or are taking medications/drugs.  If you experience any mental or physical harm during the breathwork course, you shall seek medical intervention.
2.   We encourage participants who have signed up for the breathwork course to complete the course in pairs, with each person taking turns doing the breathwork and being a compassionate witness to the person doing the breathwork.  If you are not completing the course as a pair, you should perform the breathwork course in the presence of a trusted friend or family member.  
3.   We hope and expect that your participation in the breathwork course will be positive; however, the practice of breathwork has risks.  This is a deep breathing practice and you will be asked to change the patterns and length of your breathing.  This can be challenging and can introduce feelings, emotions, and physical sensations that are uncomfortable.  We encourage participants to have the support of a therapist who can assist with any difficult or unexpected feelings, emotions, or sensations, and you hereby acknowledge that the breathwork course is not a substitute for medical care or therapy.  It is possible breathwork could lead to physical or mental injury, psychosis, or death.  You hereby acknowledge that if you decide to participate in the breathwork course, you voluntarily are choosing to do so and knowingly assume all risks, including, without limitation, any accidents, injury (including death), property loss or damage, and other risks not known and not foreseeable at this time (collectively, “Risks”), that may be associated with or caused by participation in the breathwork course. 
4.   You, on your own behalf and on behalf of your agents, successors and assigns, hereby release and covenant not to sue Infinite Crescendo, its managers, officers, employees, agents, or successors or assigns from all claims, obligations, liabilities, damages, losses, injuries, and/or causes of action arising as a result of participating in the breathwork course, including from the Risks, described above.
5.   We own all rights to the breathwork course, including the materials and recordings included in the course.  You hereby acknowledge that your use of the course and its materials and recordings is for your personal use only and you may not reproduce, transmit, distribute, publish, broadcast, or otherwise share part or all of the breathwork course without the prior written consent of Infinite Crescendo. 
6.   This Agreement shall be construed, governed, interpreted, and applied in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to any doctrine of conflict of laws.

By purchasing this offering and in consideration for being able to participate in the breathwork course, you hereby acknowledge that you understand this Release and agree to all its terms.  YOU ARE AWARE THAT THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES A RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND AN ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, AND YOU SIGN IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT.  YOU HEREBY REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD.
