PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING THIS IS A RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND WAIVER OF CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS I have been provided the opportunity to participate in the Mobile Sauna (the “Sauna”) and hereby voluntarily agree as follows as a condition to using the Sauna: 1. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RISKS: My participation in the Sauna, or solicitation of the Sauna to those other than myself, involves known and unknown risks, dangers, and hazards that may cause death, personal injury, damage to personal property and loss of personal property. The risks and consequences I am acknowledging include, but are not limited to: - Slippery surfaces caused by water, ice, snow, or other substances;
- Exposure to cold temperatures;
- Exposure to hot temperatures;
- Exposure to hot equipment;
- Increased internal body temperature;
- Collisions or contact with other persons and objects inside or outside of the Sauna;
- Exposure to airborne illnesses and transmittable diseases;
- Defects or weaknesses in the design, construction, repair, or modification of the Sauna;
- Visible and invisible natural or man-made hazards in or around the Sauna;
- Foreseeable and unforeseeable risks that contribute to the unpredictability of my participation in the Sauna.
- Accidental drowning;
- Heat exhaustion, dehydration, burns
- Injury risks associated with intoxication or medication, including and not limited to legal, prescribed or illegal substances
- Slip and fall
2. REPRESENTATION OF FITNESS: I am physically and mentally fit to participate in the Sauna. I do not have any medical condition, such as anhidrosis, that interferes with my ability to sweat. I am not pregnant and am not subjecting a fetus to excessive body temperatures that may cause fetal damage during pregnancy. I am not taking or under the influence of any drugs, alcohol, medication, or other substance affecting my mental or physical state. Moreover, I have read and understand the List of Contraindications associated with use of the Sauna below, including possible adverse reactions, side effects or other complication. I have had sufficient opportunity to consult with my own independent physician about my participation in the Sauna and no contraindication would preclude or prohibit my ability to participate in the Sauna. CONTRAINDICATIONS Potential Risks & Precautions - Medications. If you are using prescription medications, please consult your physician before using the Sauna and ask about the effects that being exposed to increased body temperature might have on your body when taking prescription drugs. Diuretics, barbiturates and beta-blockers may impair the body’s natural heat loss capabilities. Some forms of over-the-counter drugs (like antihistamines) may also cause the body to become more prone to heat stroke.
- Elderly. As people age, they tend to have a more difficult time maintaining core body temperature due to limitations with their circulatory system or decreased sweat gland function. The elderly should consult with their physician prior to using the Sauna.
- Cardiovascular Conditions. If you have a history of hypertension, hypotension, congestive heart failure, impaired coronary circulation, or if you are taking medication that might affect your blood pressure, then you should use extreme caution when exposed to prolonged heat. Heat stress increases cardiac output and blood flow in an effort to transfer internal body heat to the outside environment through perspiration (i.e., sweating) and the respiratory system. This takes place primarily due to major changes in the heart rate, which has the potential to increase by 30 beats per minute for each degree increase in core body temperature. If you have a cardiovascular condition, please consult with your physician prior to using the Sauna.
- Pregnancy. If you are pregnant, you should consult your physician before using the Sauna as fetal damage may occur as the result of elevated body temperature.
- Menstruation. Heating of the lower back area of women during the menstrual period may temporarily increase their menstrual flow. Some women endure this process to gain the pain relief commonly associated with their cycle where others simply choose to avoid sauna use during that time of the month.
- Joint Injury. If you have a recent (acute) joint injury, it should not be heated for the first 48 hours after an injury or until the hot and swollen symptoms subside. If you have a joint or joints that are chronically hot and swollen, these joints may respond poorly to vigorous heating of any kind. Vigorous heating is strictly contraindicated in cases of enclosed infections be they dental, in joints or in any other tissues. If you have a joint injury, please consult with your physician prior to using the Sauna.
3. a. ASSUMPTION OF RESPONSIBILITY: I am responsible for my own safety and personal property. I cannot and will not rely on anyone other than myself to keep me or my personal property safe before, during, or after participating in the Sauna. My participation in the Sauna is voluntary and I can refuse to participate or quit participating in the Sauna at any time for any reason. b. If I am a business owner or a private rental customer offering, providing, furnishing or soliciting the Sauna to any person other than myself, undersigned below, I have read, agreed and signed the Rental Agreement and understand I do not hold Sauna Social LA LLC (“Sauna Social”) liable. I accept full responsibility for myself and any others participating in Sauna on my behalf. I am fully responsible and liable for any person - affiliated with me or as a guest - who uses the Sauna. No claim may be made against Sauna Social, for any loss, damage or injury due to participants interacting with the Sauna. 4. ASSUMPTION OF RISK: I am fully aware of the risks and hazards connected with the use of Sauna, including risk of physical injury or disability as the result of such injury, up to and including death, and I am voluntarily participating in the use of the Sauna and entering into the Sauna location to engage in such use thereof. I VOLUNTARILY ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RISKS OF LOSS, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR PERSONAL INJURY UP TO AND INCLUDING DEATH that may be sustained, or any loss or damage to property as a result of participating in or using the Sauna. 5.

SECTION 1542 RELEASE: I agree that I have read and understood the following language of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which provides "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party." Having reviewed this provision, I nevertheless voluntarily release the Sauna Social Releasees from all Liability for claims arising out of the matters set forth herein.

NO MEDICAL ADVICE OR TREATMENT: I understand that the Sauna is being provided for the basic purpose of relaxation, stress reduction, relief of muscular tension and recovery from muscular tension and that individual results cannot be guaranteed. I further understand that the Sauna should not be construed as a substitute for medical examination, diagnosis or treatment and that I should see a physician, chiropractor, or other qualified medical specialist for any mental or physical ailment about which I am aware or may suspect. I understand that Sauna Social personnel are not qualified to give medical advice, diagnose a medical condition, or prescribe medication, and that nothing said in the course of my using the Sauna should or will be construed as such. 8.
