Terms of Service
Last Updated: January 2024
1. Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to FreeMove Life. By accessing or using our website, services, community gatherings, workshops, and any related activities, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and FreeMove Life. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use our services or participate in our activities.
We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting on this page. Your continued use of our services after any modifications indicates your acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our policies.
2. Services Description
FreeMove Life provides movement-focused wellness services, including but not limited to community walking events, outdoor exploration activities, wellness movement workshops, seasonal gatherings, educational content, and personalized guidance for developing active lifestyle practices. Our services are designed to promote freedom of movement, physical wellbeing, and connection with nature across Australia.
All activities are voluntary and intended for general wellness purposes. Services are subject to availability and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. We strive to provide accurate information about schedules, locations, and program details, but cannot guarantee absolute accuracy in all circumstances.
3. User Responsibilities
By participating in FreeMove Life activities, you acknowledge that you are responsible for your own health, safety, and physical condition. You should consult with appropriate healthcare professionals before beginning any new physical activity program, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions, injuries, or concerns about your ability to safely participate.
You agree to accurately represent your fitness level, disclose relevant health information when requested, follow safety guidelines provided by facilitators, respect other participants and natural environments, and take personal responsibility for your wellbeing during all activities. You must immediately inform facilitators of any injuries, discomfort, or concerns that arise during participation.
4. Assumption of Risk
You acknowledge that outdoor activities, walking, hiking, exploration, and physical movement carry inherent risks including but not limited to: adverse weather conditions, uneven terrain, encounters with wildlife, equipment failure, physical injury, and unforeseen circumstances beyond our control. You voluntarily assume all such risks associated with participation in FreeMove Life activities.
While we take reasonable precautions to ensure safety and provide appropriate guidance, we cannot eliminate all risks. You agree to participate at your own risk and release FreeMove Life, its facilitators, partners, and affiliates from liability for injuries, accidents, or losses that may occur during participation, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
5. Code of Conduct
All participants must conduct themselves respectfully and responsibly. Harassment, discrimination, threatening behavior, or actions that compromise the safety or enjoyment of others will not be tolerated. You agree to respect facilitators, fellow participants, private property, and natural environments, following Leave No Trace principles and local regulations.
Disruptive behavior may result in removal from activities without refund or future participation privileges. We reserve the right to refuse service or deny participation to anyone who violates these standards or whose behavior we deem inappropriate or unsafe for our community.
6. Intellectual Property
All content on the FreeMove Life website, including text, graphics, logos, images, videos, and software, is the property of FreeMove Life or its content suppliers and is protected by Australian and international copyright laws. You may view and download content for personal, non-commercial use only, with proper attribution maintained.
You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works, publicly display, republish, or exploit any content without express written permission. User-generated content submitted to FreeMove Life grants us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and display such content in connection with our services.
7. Privacy and Data Protection
Your privacy is important to us. We collect and process personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy laws. By using our services, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms of Service by reference.
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information, but cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
8. Cancellations and Changes
We reserve the right to cancel, reschedule, or modify any events, workshops, or activities due to weather conditions, insufficient participation, facilitator availability, safety concerns, or other circumstances. In the event of cancellation initiated by FreeMove Life, we will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice and offer alternative dates or options when possible.
Participants may be subject to specific cancellation policies for individual programs or events. These policies will be clearly communicated at the time of registration or enrollment. Please review applicable cancellation terms carefully before committing to any activity.
9. Third-Party Links and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, resources, or services that are not owned or controlled by FreeMove Life. These links are provided for your convenience and do not imply endorsement. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of third-party sites.
You acknowledge and agree that FreeMove Life shall not be responsible or liable for any damage or loss caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any third-party content, goods, or services available through such external sites or resources.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by Australian law, FreeMove Life, its directors, employees, partners, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use or inability to use our services, participation in activities, or any content or information obtained through our services.
Our total liability for any claims arising from these terms or your use of our services shall not exceed the amount paid by you to FreeMove Life in the six months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain liability limitations, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless FreeMove Life, its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and affiliates from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms of Service, your use of our services, your participation in activities, or your violation of any rights of another person or entity.
12. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Australia, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of our services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Australia.
We encourage users to contact us directly to resolve any concerns or disputes before pursuing formal legal action. We are committed to working in good faith to address issues and find mutually satisfactory resolutions whenever possible.
13. Severability
If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. If modification is not possible, the provision shall be severed from these terms, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
14. Entire Agreement
These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy and any specific program terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and FreeMove Life regarding your use of our services and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and communications, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter herein.
