By purchasing a ticket for and/or participating in any event, class, pop-up, or activity hosted, organized, sponsored, or promoted by VL Collective LLC, including but not limited to fitness, Pilates, wellness, food, beverage, social, or community events (collectively, the “Event”), I acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. AGE REQUIREMENT
   
   I confirm that I am at least 18 years of age at the time of purchase and participation. Individuals under the age of 18 are not permitted to attend or participate in the Event.
   
   
2. ASSUMPTION OF RISK
   
   I understand that participation in physical activity, fitness, wellness, and experiential events involves inherent risks, including but not limited to muscle strain, sprains, joint injury, dizziness, falls, aggravation of pre-existing conditions, allergic reactions, illness, or other physical injury. I voluntarily choose to participate and knowingly assume all risks associated with my participation.
   
   
3. FOOD, BEVERAGE & ALLERGY DISCLOSURE
   
   I understand that food and beverages may be provided, sold, or available at the Event, including but not limited to drinks, matcha, snacks, samples, or catered items. I acknowledge that:
   
   • Ingredients may include common allergens such as nuts, dairy, soy, gluten, eggs, or other allergens
   
   • Food and beverages may be prepared, handled, or served in shared environments where cross-contamination may occur
   
   • VL Collective LLC does not guarantee allergen-free food or beverages
   
   I voluntarily assume all risks related to food and beverage consumption and accept full responsibility for managing my own allergies, sensitivities, and dietary restrictions.
   
   
4. HEALTH REPRESENTATION
   
   I represent that I am physically and medically able to participate in the Event and to consume any food or beverages offered. I understand that it is my responsibility to monitor my physical condition and to stop participation immediately if I experience pain, discomfort, dizziness, allergic symptoms, or feel unwell.
   
   
5. TICKET POLICY, CANCELLATIONS & NO-SHOWS
   
   All ticket purchases are final sale. No refunds, exchanges, credits, or transfers will be issued under any circumstances unless otherwise required by applicable law.
   
   Tickets are non-transferable and may not be transferred, resold, or assigned to another individual.
   
   If a participant is unable to attend, VL Collective LLC requests at least 24 hours’ advance notice prior to the Event start time. Advance notice helps accommodate guests on event waitlists and supports the intentionally curated nature of the Event experience.
   
   To avoid a no-show fee, participants must notify VL Collective LLC via email at least 24 hours prior to the Event start time and receive confirmation from a VL Collective LLC team member that their spot has been canceled. Submission of an email alone does not guarantee cancellation confirmation.
   
   A no-show fee of up to $20 will apply to participants who fail to attend the Event without providing proper notice and receiving cancellation confirmation, where permitted by applicable law and disclosed at checkout. By purchasing a ticket and/or participating in the Event, you authorize and grant VL Collective LLC permission to automatically charge the payment method or card on file associated with your registration for any applicable no-show fee.
   
   
6. RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND NEGLIGENCE WAIVER
   
   To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, I hereby release, waive, and discharge VL Collective LLC, its affiliated brands and programs (including but not limited to Eat Gainesville and 616 Pilates), owners, members, employees, independent contractors, guest instructors, volunteers, affiliates, sponsors, vendors, and the event venue from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, or liabilities, including those arising from the negligence of the released parties, related to my participation in the Event or consumption of any food or beverages.
   
   This release does not apply to claims arising from gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
   
   
7. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS AND VENDORS
   
   I understand that instructors, facilitators, food vendors, beverage providers, and other participants involved in the Event may be independent contractors and not employees of VL Collective LLC. Nothing in this agreement shall be interpreted as creating an employer-employee relationship, partnership, or joint venture.
   
   
8. NO MEDICAL OR DIETARY ADVICE
   
   I acknowledge that no medical, dietary, nutritional, or professional advice is being provided. Any instruction, guidance, or information shared is for general informational and educational purposes only.
   
   
9. MEDIA RELEASE
   
   I grant permission for photographs or video taken during the Event to be used by VL Collective LLC for marketing, promotional, and social media purposes, without compensation.
   
   
10. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
    
    This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, and any legal action arising from this agreement shall be brought exclusively in the courts located in Florida.
    
    
11. BINDING AGREEMENT AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
    
    I acknowledge that this is a legally binding agreement. By completing my purchase and/or participating in the Event, I confirm that I have read, understood, and voluntarily agreed to this Event Liability Waiver, Release of Claims & Allergy Disclosure.
