1. Parties and coaching services This agreement is between the adult participant identified below (Client) and Younghouse LLC, which offers running-coaching services under the Run With Coach Zach brand (Coach). It applies only to the service selected in this agreement and replaces prior oral discussions about that service.
Coach may provide in-person or virtual running instruction, workout guidance, pacing support, training-plan design, progress review, scheduling communication, and related non-medical fitness coaching. Coach does not diagnose or treat medical conditions, provide physical therapy, prescribe nutrition or medication, or guarantee any result, finish time, weight change, race outcome, or absence of injury.
2. Client health and safety responsibilities Client represents that Client is at least 18 years old, is voluntarily participating, and has disclosed any material exercise restrictions or safety concerns. Client is responsible for deciding whether to seek medical clearance before beginning or continuing training and for following the advice of qualified medical professionals.
Client will stop or modify activity and promptly tell Coach about chest pain, faintness, unusual shortness of breath, severe pain, a new injury, or any other concerning symptom. Client remains responsible for clothing, hydration, nutrition, medication, visibility gear, route choices, traffic-law compliance, and safe use of Client-owned devices and equipment.
3. Informed assumption of risk Running and fitness training involve inherent and other risks that cannot be eliminated, including overexertion; dehydration; heat or cold illness; slips, trips, and falls; uneven or defective surfaces; traffic and road crossings; poor visibility; weather; animals; other people; crime; equipment or technology failure; delayed communication during virtual coaching; and aggravation of known or unknown medical conditions. Possible consequences include property damage, illness, sprains, fractures, concussion, permanent disability, cardiac events, and death.
Client knowingly and voluntarily assumes all risks of participation, whether known or unknown, inherent or otherwise, including risks arising from Client's own actions, conditions, route, equipment, or failure to follow instructions.
Initial to confirm assumption of risk * 4. Release and waiver of ordinary-negligence claims TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY NEW JERSEY LAW, CLIENT RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO SUE YOUNGHOUSE LLC, ZACHERY YOUNG, AND THEIR MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS FOR CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING FROM CLIENT'S VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION IN COACHING, INCLUDING CLAIMS ALLEGING THEIR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, FAILURE TO WARN, OR ORDINARY NEGLIGENT INSTRUCTION OR SUPERVISION.
This release does not cover gross negligence, recklessness, willful or wanton conduct, intentional misconduct, fraud, violations of non-waivable statutory duties, or any other liability that New Jersey law does not permit a party to waive. It does not release unrelated premises claims against a third-party property owner.
Initial to confirm the release of ordinary-negligence claims * 5. Emergency response If Client appears unable to act during an emergency, Client authorizes Coach to contact 911, the emergency contact supplied by Client, and available first responders. Coach does not promise medical monitoring or emergency treatment. Client is responsible for medical and transportation costs incurred on Client's behalf.
6. Scheduling, cancellations, lateness, and communication A session requires at least 18 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. A late cancellation or no-show counts as a completed session. When Coach is already present and reasonably able to stay, a late-arriving Client receives the remaining planned service and Coach may choose to stay through the original planned duration; repeated lateness may require a schedule change.
Coach may cancel, shorten, move, or stop a session when weather, traffic, location conditions, technology, illness, Client conduct, or safety makes continuation unreasonable. A session canceled by Coach will not be deducted. Normal non-emergency messages are generally answered within 24 hours; messaging is not continuously monitored and must not be used for emergencies.
7. Packages, expiration, refunds, and refills Package sessions are personal, non-transferable, and expire according to the selected service summary. Unused sessions are non-refundable except where required by law or where Coach approves a documented medical exception. If Coach permanently stops providing purchased services without a Client breach, Coach will refund the unused prepaid balance.
When one session remains, Coach may send a balance notice. No package or post-package single session will be charged automatically without the Client's separate express authorization. If payment fails, uncovered future bookings pause until payment is resolved.
8. Memberships and recurring billing A selected membership has a 12-week initial commitment. Momentum is $200 each week with a $2,400 minimum initial-term obligation. Performance is $300 each week with a $3,600 minimum initial-term obligation. By selecting and signing for a membership, Client expressly authorizes the stated weekly recurring charge through Square. After the initial 12 weeks, billing continues week to week until Client cancels with 14 days' notice; Client is never obligated to renew for another fixed term.
Membership payments reserve recurring appointment times. Late cancellations and no-shows count as completed sessions. At most one unused membership session may carry into the immediately following week and then expires. Medical, injury, and planned-travel pauses require advance notice and written approval. General Coaching is $200 monthly until canceled before the next charge and includes no live coached runs unless separately purchased.
A Client who joined online may initiate cancellation online at runwithcoachzach.com/cancel or by emailing zach@runwithcoachzach.com. Cancellation does not erase charges or the initial minimum commitment already incurred before its effective date.
9. Consumer cancellation notice NOTICE TO CUSTOMER: You are entitled to a copy of this agreement when you sign it. You may cancel a new or increased recurring coaching agreement for any reason before midnight of the third operating day after receiving your copy by using runwithcoachzach.com/cancel or emailing a signed and dated notice to zach@runwithcoachzach.com. A timely cancellation receives a full refund within 30 days. For this notice, an operating day is a non-Sunday, non-holiday day on which coaching services may be scheduled for at least eight hours.
A recurring agreement may also be canceled upon Client's death or permanent disability supported by a physician, with a prorated refund after services used and permitted expenses. If a service is tied to a physical location and Client permanently moves more than 25 miles away with no comparable service available, Client may request cancellation and any refund required by applicable law. Online cancellation is available even if another method is also offered.
10. Conduct and termination Coach may suspend or terminate services for nonpayment, unsafe conduct, harassment, dishonesty, repeated policy violations, or a breakdown in the coaching relationship. Client remains responsible for amounts already due. Any refund of prepaid services will be determined by this agreement and applicable law.
11. Privacy, electronic records, and communications Client authorizes operational email and text messages concerning coaching, scheduling, payments, safety, and session balances, and may change communication preferences by contacting Coach. The signing record includes the agreement version, Client's entries, signature, timestamp, IP address, and browser information for contract authentication. It is stored in Coach's private business system.
Client agrees to use electronic records and signatures and to receive an electronic copy at the email supplied below. Typing Client's legal name and selecting SIGN AND CONTINUE is intended as Client's electronic signature and agreement to be bound.
12. General terms New Jersey law governs this agreement. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited or severed only to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder will continue. A waiver of one breach is not a waiver of another. This agreement, the selected service summary, and any later written payment authorization form the entire agreement for the selected coaching service. A material change requires written notice and agreement where required by law.
