All participants of Empowerment classes, parties, open studio, or any other event hosted by Empowerment and Tippy Toe Dance Studio must not wear lotion, body oils, oily body washes, or other such items as determined by Empowerment instructors or staff to class. ALL such products must be soaked off of skin before attending class or using the pole equipment. These items are strictly prohibited from being on your person at all times during classes. Substances such as the items listed above cause both temporary and permanent damage to the equipment. If the poles are damaged, classes may be reduced or canceled. In addition, these products pose a safety risk when used with the equipment, not only to yourself but to other Empowerment students and the instructors as they participate in class. You must adhere to these guidelines from this point forward for all classes. We suggest showering before class just as you would at a public pool to ensure all traces of lotion, etc. are removed from your body. All instructors and staff of Empowerment reserve the right to remove you from class and dismiss you from the studio if they determine you have not followed this policy to our standards. For the safety of yourself and others, there will be zero exceptions. I agree to the above statements and will adhere to this policy moving forward.

Tippy Toe Dance Studio LLC (“Tippy Toe”, “TTDS”, “Empowerment”, and/or “Empowerment Salem”) IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INJURY (OR LOSS OF PROPERTY) TO ANY PERSON WHILE PRACTICING, TRAINING, TAKING CLASS, PARTICIPATING IN OPEN GYM, PARTIES, OR IN ANY OTHER WAY INVOLVED IN ANY ACTIVITIES AT EMPOWERMENT FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF EMPOWERMENT, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, AGENT OR EMPLOYEES. In consideration of my participation, I hereby release and covenant not to sue Tippy Toe, the owner, any of their employees, teachers, coaches or agents, including the building owner and agency, from any all present and future claims resulting from ordinary negligence of Tippy Toe or others listed for property damage, personal injury or wrongful death, arising as a result of my engaging in or receiving instruction in Tippy Toe or any other activities or any activities incidental thereto, wherever, whenever or however the same may occur. I hereby voluntarily waive any and all claims resulting from ordinary negligence, both present and future, that may be made by me, my family, estate, heirs or assigns. Further, I am aware that the activities practiced at Tippy Toe are vigorous sporting activities involving height and rotation in a unique environment and as such they pose a risk of injury. I understand that Tippy Toe activities and related ventures always involve certain risks, including but not limited to death, serious neck and spinal injuries resulting in bruising, complete or partial paralysis, brain damage and serious injury to virtually all bones, joints, muscles and internal organs and that the safety equipment and apparatus provided for my protection, including the active participation of a coach or teacher who will spot or assist in the performance of certain skills may be inadequate to prevent serious injury. The risk of harm may be limited by all of the safety equipment and trained coaches, but never eliminated. I understand that participation in Tippy Toe activities involves activities incidental to active participation in Tippy Toe, including conditioning, stretching and other activities which may leave me vulnerable to the reckless actions of other participants who may not have complete control over their actions or knowledge of the risks involved and hereby agree to accept my and all inherent risks of property damage, personal injury or death. I agree to obey the class and facility rules and take full responsibility for my behavior in addition to any damage I may cause the facilities utilized by the studio. I give permission for the student(s) to have private lessons with any staff members of Tippy Toe Dance Studio, Salem, Oregon. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless Tippy Toe and all others listed for any and all claims arising as a result of my engaging in or receiving instruction in Tippy Toe activities or any activities incidental thereto, whenever, wherever or however the same may occur. I understand that this waiver is intended to be as broad and as inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of Oregon and agree that if any portion is held invalid, the remainder of the waiver will continue in full legal force and effect. I further agree that the venue for any legal proceedings shall be within the State of Oregon.

This Open Pole Session Policy serves as an addendum to the existing Tippy Toe Dance Studio LLC (“Tippy Toe”, “TTDS”, “Empowerment”, and/or “Empowerment Salem”) Liability Waiver and is incorporated by reference into that agreement. All terms, conditions, and releases stated in the original liability waiver remain in full force and effect and apply to participation in Open Pole Sessions. Open Pole Sessions are self-guided practice times provided by Empowerment for clients who wish to train independently. During these sessions, a staff member is present in the building for administrative and safety purposes only. However, no instruction, spotting, coaching, or supervision is provided by Empowerment staff during these sessions. For the safety and protection of all participants: Clients may not teach, spot, demonstrate technique, or offer movement instruction of any kind to another client during Open Pole Sessions. Each participant is solely responsible for their own activity, practice, and decision-making during this independent training time. Violation of this policy may result in loss of Open Pole privileges without refund or further notice. Participants acknowledge that engaging in pole training and related activities without direct professional supervision increases the risk of injury. By participating in Open Pole Sessions, the undersigned expressly assumes all associated risks and agrees that Empowerment and its representatives are not liable for any injuries or damages incurred during such independent practice, consistent with the terms of the existing liability waiver. I acknowledge that I have read and understood the above Open Pole Session Policy Addendum. I understand that Open Pole Sessions are unsupervised practice opportunities and that I assume full responsibility for my safety and conduct while participating. I further agree that this Addendum does not limit, replace, or otherwise modify my full acceptance of the original Tippy Toe Dance Studio LLC Liability Waiver, which remains binding.

Students have the ability to cancel or reschedule their class enrollment up to 48 hours prior to the start of class. We are not responsible for charges incurred due to late notice of a cancellation. We do not offer refunds for missed classes and/or "no-shows".
