Online Coaching Liability Waiver, Risk Warning, Release, Indemnity, Privacy Consent, Marketing Consent and Electronic Signature Agreement

For the Fifth Element Wellness / 5th Element Wellness Online Coaching Program

Last updated: 6th May 2026

WARNING UNDER THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW AND FAIR TRADING ACT 2012

If you sign this form, you will be agreeing that your rights to sue the supplier under the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012 are excluded, restricted or modified in the way set out in this form, if you are killed or injured because the services provided were not in accordance with the statutory guarantees outlined below.

Under the Australian Consumer Law (Victoria), several statutory guarantees apply to the supply of certain goods and services. These guarantees mean that the supplier named on this form is required to ensure that the recreational services it supplies to you:

  • are rendered with due care and skill; and
  • are reasonably fit for any purpose which you, either expressly or by implication, make known to the supplier; and
  • might reasonably be expected to achieve any result you have made known to the supplier.

Under section 22 of the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012, the exclusion of these statutory guarantees is brought to your attention by this form.

NOTE: The change to your rights, as set out in this form, does not apply if your death or injury is due to gross negligence on the supplier’s part. Gross negligence, in relation to an act or omission, means doing the act or omitting to do an act with reckless disregard, with or without consciousness, for the consequences of the act or omission. See regulation 5 of the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Regulations 2012 and section 22(3)(b) of the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012.

5. Health, medical clearance and personal responsibility

I confirm that I am physically and mentally capable of participating in the Program.

I confirm that I have disclosed, or will disclose before participating, any health condition, injury, medication, pregnancy, eating disorder history, medical history, allergy, disability, surgery, pain, illness, mental health concern or other factor that may affect my ability to safely participate.

I understand that 5EW relies on the information I provide.

I agree that all health, injury, nutrition, medication and lifestyle information I provide to 5EW will be accurate, complete and current.

I understand that I am responsible for obtaining medical clearance before participating if I have any reason to believe the Program may be unsafe for me.

I agree to seek medical advice before starting or continuing the Program if I:

  • have a heart condition, high blood pressure, diabetes, metabolic disease, autoimmune condition, respiratory condition, neurological condition, joint injury, chronic pain or other medical condition;
  • am pregnant, breastfeeding, recently pregnant or trying to become pregnant;

I understand that I must stop immediately and seek medical assistance if I experience any symptom that may indicate illness, injury or danger.

6. No medical advice

I understand that 5EW provides health, fitness, nutrition, lifestyle and coaching services.

Unless expressly stated in writing, 5EW does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, medical treatment, mental health treatment, medical nutrition therapy, physiotherapy, dietetic treatment, psychology, counselling, or any other regulated medical or allied health service.

I understand that the Program is not a substitute for advice from a doctor, dietitian, psychologist, psychiatrist, physiotherapist, exercise physiologist or other qualified health professional.

I understand that I should not delay, disregard or replace medical advice because of anything provided in the Program.

I remain responsible for deciding whether any exercise, nutrition, supplementation, recovery, lifestyle or habit recommendation is appropriate for me.

7. Nutrition, food, supplements and health risks

I understand that changes to diet, calories, macronutrients, food choices, hydration, supplements, caffeine, alcohol, meal timing, fasting, food tracking or body weight may carry risks.

These risks may include, without limitation:

  • low energy, hunger, fatigue, dizziness, headaches or irritability;
  • digestive upset, reflux, bloating, constipation or diarrhoea;
  • changes to blood sugar, blood pressure, mood, sleep, menstrual cycle or medication needs;
  • allergic reaction or food intolerance;
  • worsening of disordered eating behaviours or body image distress;
  • adverse reactions to supplements or interactions with medications;
  • under-eating, over-restriction, dehydration or excessive weight loss;
  • aggravation of an existing medical condition.

I agree that I am responsible for checking food labels, allergens, ingredients, supplement suitability and medical compatibility.

I understand that 5EW may recommend general food, nutrition or supplement strategies, but I remain responsible for confirming that these are safe and suitable for me.

8. Exercise and physical activity risks

I understand that exercise, physical activity and fitness training involve inherent risks.

These risks may include, without limitation:

  • muscle soreness, strains, sprains, tendon injuries and joint injuries;
  • back, neck, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle or wrist injuries;
  • falls, slips, trips or impact injuries;
  • fractures, dislocations, bruising, cuts or abrasions;
  • dizziness, fainting, dehydration, overheating or exhaustion;
  • cardiac events, breathing difficulties, blood pressure events or other serious medical events;
  • aggravation of existing injuries, illness, pain or medical conditions;
  • in rare cases, serious injury, permanent disability or death.

I voluntarily accept these risks.

I understand that online coaching means 5EW may not be able to see my technique, environment, equipment, effort level, symptoms or safety risks in real time.

I agree to exercise within my own limits, use proper technique, follow instructions carefully, warm up appropriately, progress gradually, and stop if something feels unsafe.

9. Training environment and equipment

I am responsible for ensuring that any place where I train is safe and suitable.

This includes ensuring that:

  • the space is clear, dry, stable and free from hazards;
  • equipment is safe, suitable, correctly assembled and in good working order;
  • flooring, lighting, ventilation and temperature are appropriate;
  • I have enough room to perform the exercise safely;
  • I follow the rules of any gym, facility, park, workplace, home or third-party location I use;
  • I do not attempt exercises that are beyond my capability, confidence, equipment or environment.

I understand that 5EW is not responsible for inspecting, maintaining, supervising or controlling my training environment or third-party facilities.

10. Online delivery, technology and third-party platforms

I understand that the Program may use third-party platforms, apps, payment systems, video call services, messaging tools, wearable devices, tracking tools or online communities.

I understand that 5EW is not responsible for:

  • outages, errors, bugs, lost data or interruptions caused by third-party platforms;
  • inaccurate data from wearable devices, tracking apps, scales or calculators;
  • delays caused by internet, device, app or software problems;
  • conduct of other users in third-party communities or group environments;
  • services, products or facilities supplied by third parties.

I agree to use good judgment when relying on app-generated data, calorie estimates, wearable outputs, body composition estimates, suggested targets or automated calculations.

11. Results are not guaranteed

I understand that 5EW may provide examples, testimonials, targets, case studies, expected outcomes or educational information about fat loss, fitness, health, strength, energy, body composition, habits or performance.

I understand that individual results vary.

I understand that my results may depend on many factors outside 5EW’s control, including genetics, medical history, age, sex, hormones, sleep, stress, medication, injury, adherence, food intake, alcohol intake, training history, work demands, family demands, illness, travel and consistency.

I understand that 5EW does not guarantee that I will lose weight, lose body fat, gain muscle, improve blood markers, reduce visceral fat, improve symptoms, improve energy, improve fitness, or achieve any particular result.

12. Emergency responsibility

I understand that because this is an online program, 5EW is not physically present to assist me in an emergency.

I am responsible for seeking urgent medical help if required.

In an emergency, I must contact emergency services immediately.

In Australia, this means calling 000.

13. Assumption of risk

I understand the nature of the Program and the risks involved.

I voluntarily choose to participate.

I accept all obvious and inherent risks associated with the Program, including risks arising from:

  • exercise and physical exertion;
  • nutrition changes and dietary restriction;
  • body weight change;
  • self-directed training;
  • lack of in-person supervision;
  • use or misuse of equipment;
  • training in my own environment or a third-party facility;
  • following instructions incorrectly;
  • ignoring pain, symptoms, warnings or medical advice;
  • failing to provide complete and accurate health information.

14. Release, exclusion and limitation of liability for personal injury

To the maximum extent permitted by law, including under section 139A of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), section 22 of the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012 (Vic), and any other applicable state or territory law, I agree that the Protected Parties exclude, restrict and modify liability for personal injury or death suffered by me arising from, connected with, or in any way related to:

  • my participation in the Program;
  • the supply of recreational services by 5EW;
  • exercise, training, nutrition guidance, lifestyle coaching or any related activity;
  • my use of any information, instruction, plan, video, resource, message, call, recommendation or guidance provided by 5EW;
  • any failure of the services to comply with statutory guarantees that may otherwise apply, including guarantees that services will be rendered with due care and skill, be reasonably fit for purpose, or achieve a result made known.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, this exclusion applies even if the personal injury or death is caused by negligence, breach of duty, breach of contract or breach of statutory guarantee by one or more of the Protected Parties.

Nothing in this agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any right, remedy, guarantee or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.

This agreement does not apply to the extent that liability cannot be excluded under applicable law, including where death or injury is caused by gross negligence, reckless conduct, or any other conduct that cannot legally be waived.

15. Broader release for loss, damage and claims

Separate from the personal injury waiver above, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, I release the Protected Parties from any claim, demand, action, loss, damage, cost, expense or liability arising from or connected with:

  • my participation in the Program;
  • my use of any Program content, coaching, advice, resources or recommendations;
  • my failure to follow instructions, warnings, safety guidance or medical advice;
  • my failure to provide accurate, complete and current information;
  • my use of third-party facilities, equipment, apps, devices, platforms, products or services;
  • my decisions about exercise, nutrition, supplementation, health, training or lifestyle;
  • loss of income, loss of opportunity, disappointment, inconvenience, indirect loss, consequential loss or loss of enjoyment.

This clause does not limit any right or remedy that cannot legally be limited.

16. Indemnity

To the maximum extent permitted by law, I indemnify and agree to keep indemnified the Protected Parties against any claim, demand, action, loss, damage, cost, expense or liability arising from or connected with:

  • my breach of this agreement;
  • my participation in the Program;
  • my failure to follow instructions, warnings, medical advice or safety guidance;
  • my failure to disclose relevant health, injury, medical, nutrition, medication or psychological information;
  • my misuse of Program content;
  • my unsafe use of equipment or training environments;
  • any injury, loss or damage I cause to another person;
  • any claim made by a third party arising from my conduct.

This indemnity does not apply to the extent liability cannot legally be excluded or where the law does not allow 5EW to be indemnified.

Nothing in this agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any rights of a minor that cannot legally be excluded, restricted or modified.

19. Suspension or refusal of participation

5EW may refuse, pause, suspend or cancel my participation in the Program if 5EW reasonably believes that:

  • I am not following safety guidance;
  • I am engaging in unsafe, abusive, disruptive or inappropriate behaviour;
  • I am using the Program in a way that creates risk to myself, 5EW or others.

20. Privacy, health information and program data
