Assumption of Risk and Release
You agree that if you engage in any physical exercise or activity, you do so at your own risk and assume the risk of any and all injury and/or damage you may suffer, whether while engaging in physical exercise or not. This includes injury or damage sustained while and/or resulting from using any premises or facility, or using any equipment, whether provided to you by Beyond the Finish Line or otherwise, including injuries or damages arising out of the negligence of Beyond the Finish Line, whether active or passive, or any of Beyond the Finish Line affiliates, employees, agents, representatives, successors, and assigns.
Your assumption of risk includes, but is not limited to, your use of any exercise equipment (mechanical or otherwise), sports fields, roads/trails (public or private), courts, or other areas, locker rooms, sidewalks, open bodies of water, swimming pools, swim flumes, parking lots, stairs, whirlpools, saunas, steam rooms, or other general areas of any facilities, or any equipment. You assume the risk of your participation in any activity, class, programme, instruction, or event, including but not limited to weightlifting, walking, running (indoor or outdoor), cycling (indoor or outdoor), swimming (indoor or outdoor) or cross training activities. You agree that you are voluntarily participating in the aforementioned activities and assume all risk of injury, illness, damage, or loss to you or your property that might result, including, without limitation, any loss or theft of any personal property, whether arising out of the negligence of Coach or otherwise.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Beyond the Finish Line's total aggregate liability for any and all claims arising from or related to these Terms or the services provided shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to Beyond the Finish Line in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
In no event shall Beyond the Finish Line, its affiliates, employees, agents, or representatives be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to: loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of data, loss of business opportunity, personal injury (except where caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct), or any other intangible losses, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Indemnification
By execution of this agreement, you hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Beyond the Finish Line, its Coach, affiliates, employees, agents, and representatives from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the services; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable laws or regulations; or (d) any injury, illness, or damage you sustain while participating in any training programme or physical activity, whether due to your own actions, the Coach's recommendations, or otherwise.
No Medical Advice Disclaimer
The Coach is not a licensed medical doctor, physician, therapist, or healthcare provider, and does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice of any kind. All coaching services, training plans, and recommendations are provided for fitness, athletic performance, and educational purposes only.
You acknowledge and understand that remote online coaching has inherent limitations compared to in-person supervision and training. The Coach cannot observe your form, technique, or physical condition in real-time and relies on information you provide. You are solely responsible for ensuring proper exercise technique, adequate rest, appropriate nutrition, and safe training conditions.
If you experience any pain, discomfort, dizziness, shortness of breath, or other unusual symptoms during training, you must immediately stop the activity and seek medical attention. The services provided are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult your physician or qualified healthcare provider before beginning any exercise programme or making changes to your training regimen.
No Guarantee of Results
While Beyond the Finish Line strives to provide high-quality, evidence-based coaching services, we make no warranty, guarantee, or promise regarding specific athletic performance outcomes, race results, injury prevention, weight loss, or any other specific results.
Individual results vary significantly based on numerous factors including but not limited to: your baseline fitness level, genetics, adherence to the training programme, nutrition, sleep quality, stress levels, pre-existing medical conditions, training history, age, and other lifestyle factors beyond our control. All services and training programmes are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.
You acknowledge that athletic training carries inherent risks, including but not limited to the risk of injury, overtraining, illness, and that successful outcomes cannot be guaranteed regardless of the quality of coaching provided.
Force Majeure
Neither party shall be held liable for any failure or delay in performing their obligations under these Terms if such failure or delay is due to circumstances beyond their reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, government orders or restrictions, civil unrest, war, terrorism, strikes, labour disputes, fire, flood, earthquake, severe weather conditions, internet or telecommunications failures, or serious illness or injury.
In the event of force majeure, the affected party shall provide prompt notice to the other party and make reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable. If force majeure conditions persist for more than sixty (60) days, either party may terminate the agreement without penalty, and any prepaid fees for services not yet rendered may be refunded on a pro-rata basis.

Severability, Dispute Resolution and Governing Law
If any provision of this Agreement is held illegal or unenforceable in a judicial proceeding, such provision shall be severed and shall be inoperative, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain operative and binding on the Parties. No party to this agreement shall commence any Court or Arbitration proceedings relating to a dispute or difference arising out of or related to this agreement, unless that party has first complied with the following clause. The parties agree to mediate any dispute or difference arising out of or relating to this “Terms and Conditions”, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination. Should the parties not be able to agree the selection of a mediator and or terms and or fees within 10 working days from the date one party delivers written notice to the other party that they wish the dispute or difference be resolved by mediation, then either party may request the appointment of the mediator by Cyprus Mediation Association, who will determine all relevant matters. If a party fails to attend the mediation joint meeting then that party shall be responsible for all the costs of the mediation. The laws of Cyprus govern all matters arising out of or relating to these “Terms and Conditions”, including, without limitation, their validity, interpretation, construction, performance and enforcement. The Courts of Cyprus will have the exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute or claim arising out of these “Terms and Conditions”.
