By checking the box next to “I have read and agreed to the Brainbased.com terms and conditions” (this “Agreement”), Client hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth herein (including, without limitation, those set forth in Exhibit A hereto).

The parties agree that the amount of such liquidated damages is reasonable in light of the actual and anticipated harm caused by such early termination and the difficulty of proving such loss, and that such liquidated damages do not constitute a penalty.  

Client Role and Responsibility

Client must take complete responsibility for Client’s physical health and emotional wellbeing.

Client is expected to exercise discernment when applying any techniques or strategies learned through the Program. Should Client have any concern or hesitation about applying any of the information distributed through Company, the Program, or any coach or facilitator, Client is not required under any circumstances to put Client at any risk for adverse reactions and Client hereby assumes all risk for any such adverse reactions. 

The techniques may be used in conjunction with any existing coaching or healthcare system, whether traditional or alternative, but are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice and competent, regular and appropriate medical care, medical treatment or mental health therapy. Client is advised not to discontinue or to avoid medical or psychological consultations and Company encourages Client to seek the care of other healthcare professionals if Client believes such care is required.  Client should not discontinue or modify any current medication or treatment without first obtaining approval from a healthcare professional licensed to prescribe medication.  Client should consult with a licensed healthcare practitioner before altering or discontinuing any current medications, treatment or care, or starting any diet, exercise or supplementation program, or if Client has or suspects Client might have a health condition that requires medical attention.

If Client believes anything related to our services or any related products causes Client an undesirable reaction or what could be termed a side-effect, Client should immediately consult with a licensed healthcare professional and cease use of whatever Client believes may be causing this issue. 

The information provided by the Program is for informational and/or educational purposes only, and is not intended to be, nor should be construed as, medical advice or a treatment plan.  Programs are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Nothing learned or provided through the Program should be considered to be a promise of benefit, claim of cure, or guarantee of results to be achieved. Nothing learned or provided through the Company should be considered to be a recommendation or endorsement. The United States Food and Drug Administration has not evaluated any statement, claim, or representation made through the Program. 

Company will not be requesting or maintaining any medical records for Client.  Neither Company, Elisabeth Kristof, nor any other individual delivering the Program will be doing so under or pursuant to a medical or other healthcare license.

Company does not recommend or endorse third party individuals, businesses, products, tests, or services. 

Waiver and Release of Liability

Client acknowledges and understands that there is a risk of injury while participating in somatic movements, emotional processing, and applied neurology/nervous system training (the “Activity”).

Client further acknowledges that the Activity may involve a test of a person\\\\\\\'s physical and mental limits and may carry with it the potential for death, serious injury, and property loss.  Client agrees not to participate in the Activity unless Client is medically able and properly trained, and Client agrees to abide by the decision of Company and any of its representatives or agents regarding Client’s approval to participate in the Activity.
