8.    HEALTH DISCLAIMER

a. General

The Service includes weight loss management and information applications and content published over the Internet, which are intended only to assist users in their personal weight loss efforts. HEAT is not a medical organization, and our staff cannot give you medical advice or diagnosis. Nothing contained in the Service should be construed as such advice or diagnosis. The information and reports generated by us should not be interpreted as a substitute for physician consultation, evaluation, or treatment.

You are urged and advised to seek the advice of a physician before beginning any weight loss effort or regimen. The Service is intended for use only by healthy adult individuals. Except for our pre-natal workouts, which are offered to our pregnant and post-partum members, the Service is not intended for use by minors, pregnant women, or individuals with any type of health condition. All individuals, regardless of condition, should seek professional medical advice and clearance prior to initiating any form of weight loss effort or fitness regimen. There are inherent risks associated with exercise and fitness programs, and individuals engage in these activities at their own risks.

All information is intended for your general knowledge only and is not a substitute for medical advice or treatment for specific medical conditions. This information on the Service has not been evaluated by the FDA and is not intended to treat, diagnose, cure or prevent any disease. We cannot and do not give you medical advice. You should seek prompt medical care for any specific health issues and consult your physician before purchasing any product(s). We do not recommend the self-management of health problems. Information obtained by using our services is not exhaustive and does not cover all diseases, ailments, physical conditions or their treatment.

If you are being treated for an illness, taking prescription medication, or following a therapeutic diet to treat a disease, it is especially important to show the “HEAT Fat Burning Program” weight loss plan (“Program”) to your physician. Any modifications made to the Program by your physician should be followed.

The Program is designed for a safe rate of weight loss – up to two pounds per week (after the first three week). If you lose at a greater rate, you must review the Program’s guidelines and adapt them, if necessary, to avoid rapid weight loss. Not following the Program as designed may pose the risk of developing health complications associated with rapid weight loss.

These provisions apply when you participate in the Prenatal and/or Post-Pregnancy Programs offered by HEAT on the Service. If you do not agree to these provisions, you must not participate in the Prenatal or Post-Pregnancy Program(s).

(a) you are participating in the Prenatal and/or Post-Pregnancy Program entirely at your own risk, and acknowledge that if you make any modifications to the Prenatal and/or Post-Pregnancy Program while participating in the Prenatal and/or Post-Pregnancy Program, or if you undertake, while pregnant, any HEAT Program or workout not recommended by HEAT, you also do so entirely at your own risk. In addition, you understand that, in participating in the Prenatal and/or Post-Pregnancy Program, there is (amongst other potential health risks), a risk of organ prolapse, back pain, bladder leakage, poor C-section scar healing, and the rate of reduction of diastasis recti (abdomen separation post birth). You acknowledge that these matters can all be affected by the pace, frequency and nature of exercise that you engage in post pregnancy and that you need to use caution and seek professional health advice if you are at all unsure about your health or fitness to continue, or health concerns arise after, you have undertaken any exercise as part of the Prenatal and/or Post-Pregnancy Program;

(b) you have obtained and relied on the medical clearance of your doctor, physician, obstetrician or other medical professional in determining to participate (and once commenced, to continue participating in) the Prenatal and/or Post-Pregnancy Program;

(c) HEAT makes no representation or warranty that any particular fitness, nutrition or health program is suitable, safe or adequate for any particular User. Accordingly, HEAT is not aware of and cannot determine your individual suitability for the Prenatal and/or Post-Pregnancy Program. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws, you will indemnify HEAT and the Associated Parties and hold them harmless against all claims, demands, lawsuits, actions, proceedings, investigations, liabilities, damages, losses, costs or expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in any way arising out of, in relation to or in connection with directly or indirectly:

(i) your participation in the Prenatal and/or Post-Pregnancy Program; or

(ii) your breach of any of the provisions of the Prenatal and/or Post-Pregnancy Program Addendum;

(d) any information provided by you to HEAT in connection with the Prenatal and/or Post-Pregnancy Program, including the fact that you have received medical clearance to participate in the Prenatal and/or Post-Pregnancy Program, is true, and you further acknowledge that HEAT has relied on this representation in assuming that you can participate safely in the Prenatal and/or Post-Pregnancy Program; and

(e) you know that you need to stop exercising and seek medical advice if at any time during or after having undertaken any exercise as part of the Prenatal and/or Post-Pregnancy Program, you feel generally unwell or experience pain or discomfort, lower back or abdomen pain, or any other form of pain or symptoms (including without limitation any symptoms that your doctor, physician, obstetrician or other medical professional advised you of prior to engaging in the Prenatal and/or Post-Pregnancy Program, or at any time thereafter).

Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ: THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS BY REQUIRING ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND HEAT, SUBJECT TO LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, TO BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND REQUIRING YOU TO FORGO JURY TRIALS, CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS, AND ALL OTHER TYPES OF COURT PROCEEDINGS OF ANY KIND. UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT FOLLOWING THE OPT-OUT PROCEDURES IN SECTION 2 BELOW, YOU WILL BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. BY ENTERING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND EXPRESSLY AGREE TO THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

Binding Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

Mandatory Binding Arbitration:

By agreeing to these Terms, you agree that all disputes, claims, or causes of action arising from or related to the Services or these Terms, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof (collectively, “Disputes”), will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration and not in a court of law in any jurisdiction, and not in a class, collective, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding, as further set forth below.

You and HEAT agree that the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S. Code) (the “Act”) shall govern any controversy or claim related to the Service or the Terms, including the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in these Terms. It is the parties’ intent that the Act and the rules promulgated by JAMS Mediation, Arbitration and ADR Services (“JAMS”) shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. You and HEAT further agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes concerning the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether this Agreement, in whole or in part, is unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.

Class Action Waiver:

You acknowledge and agree that you and HEAT are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless both you and HEAT agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement set forth in this Section 1 shall be deemed null and void in its entirety, and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes on a class basis.

Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all Disputes through arbitration, you and HEAT each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyright rights, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.

Opt-Out Procedure:

You can choose to reject this Arbitration Agreement by sending us a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”) within 30 days following the date you first agree to these Terms, by email at [email protected] or by mail at HEAT DANCE Attn: Legal Dept 11677 San Vincente Blvd #213 Los Angeles CA 90049. If mailed, the Opt-Out Notice must be post-marked no later than 30 days following the date you first agree to these Terms. To be effective, the Opt-Out Notice must contain your name, address, and signature. If you opt-out of the Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of the Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may enter with HEAT.

Rules & Procedures:

Arbitration proceedings will be administered in accordance with the Act and the rules promulgated by JAMS and any supplementary rules then in effect (the “JAMS Rules”), except as modified by these Terms. Discovery in said arbitration shall be limited in scope to the specifics of liability on the Dispute, and any discovery related to damages calculations or any financials shall be withheld until after liability has been decided by the arbitrator(s). In the event of any inconsistency between the JAMS rules and this paragraph, the terms of this paragraph shall control.

Arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, online, or in person in in Los Angeles, California or at another mutually agreed location. All Disputes shall be resolved by one arbitrator; however, for Disputes exceeding $5,000,000, upon your or HEAT’s request, the Dispute shall be decided by three Arbitrators. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000, unless the Arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous.

All arbitration hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand for arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of commencement and the award of the Arbitrator(s) shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing. However, the Arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause or by the parties’ agreement, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days. The Arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced. The Arbitrator(s) will have the authority to decide whether any Dispute is barred by the statute of limitations and, if so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis. For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations, the service on JAMS under applicable JAMS Rules of an arbitration demand is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. The Arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. This paragraph does not limit the right of HEAT to: (i) exercise self-help remedies, such as, but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or non-judicial foreclosure against any real or personal property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain an interim remedy, such as, but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies. Except as provided in this Arbitration Agreement, the prevailing party in any action or arbitration related to these Terms shall be entitled to its reasonable attorney fees and costs.

Changes to Arbitration Agreement:

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1, if HEAT changes any of the terms of this Section 1 after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us a written notice of such rejection within 30 days of the of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above. This written notice must be provided either by email at [email protected] or by mail at HEAT DANCE Attn: Legal Dept 11677 San Vincente Blvd #213 Los Angeles CA 90049. In order to be effective, the notice must include your full name, address, and signature, and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this Arbitration Agreement. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and HEAT in accordance with the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent changes to the Terms).

 

The terms of this paragraph survive any termination of the Terms.
