User Accepts Responsibility
While singing is widely considered a safe activity, you agree to consult relevant professionals to ensure you are fit for any singing or practice regimen. You agree that you are fully responsible for your actions and well-being during, including but not limited to, one-on-one sessions and at any time utilizing, practicing, working with, or employing any lesson content including but not limited to instruction, techniques, exercises, routines, regimens and concepts learned from, suggested, implied or believed to be implied by sessions, videos, audio recordings, lessons, materials, blog posts, emails and Products.
Out of an abundance of caution, it is advised that you do not undertake vocal practice at any time you feel unwell, especially if your voice feels hoarse, tired or otherwise uncomfortable. If at any time you feel discomfort for any reason, stop singing and do not re-attempt until you are fully rested and have consulted relevant professionals that it is safe to proceed.
The Terms shall not be in any way construed as an admission of wrongful action or that they admit liability or responsibility at any time for any purpose.
Dispute Resolution
All disputes regarding the Terms and their interpretation, shall be conducted by a court of competent jurisdiction in California. By accepting these terms, you agree that this is the proper venue.
Changes
