The signatory of this document agrees to be held responsible for ensuring that all members of their party and their guests are aware of and follow the guidelines in order to ensure a safe environment for all.

If the terms agreed to in this disclaimer are breached, Community Sauna Baths CIC reserve the right to terminate your hire of the Sauna immediately, at their discretion.

I have been provided the opportunity to participate in Community Sauna Baths CIC (“the Sauna”) and voluntarily agree as follows.

Acknowledgment of risks

Using the Sauna is an inherently pleasurable and beneficial experience, however, as with all things, there exist elements of risk.

Slippery surfaces caused by water, ice, snow or other substances

Exposure to cold and 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 or 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

Other foreseeable and unforeseeable risks that contribute to the unpredictability of my participation in the Sauna

I am not taking or under the influence of any drugs, alcohol, medication or other substance affecting my mental or physical state

If you have any concerns about your health, please obtain permission from your GP before using the Sauna.

Assumption of responsibility

I cannot and will not rely on anyone other than myself to keep me or my personal property from my participation in the sauna, except to the extent such damages, injuries or death results from conduct that constitutes greater than ordinary negligence under UK law.

Children and the Sauna

No children under four years of age are permitted to use the sauna as their bodies are unable to self-regulate body temperature sufficiently to use the Sauna. Children over the age of four but under sixteen must be supervised by an adult at all times.

If the participant is under 18 years of age, the parent or legal guardian must also sign: I am the parent or guardian of the minor child named above and have the legal authority to execute the above agreement on his or her behalf. I hereby give my full consent and approval for my child to participate in the sauna. I have read the above agreement and I intend for it to completely bind me and my minor child. I hereby fully enter into and execute the above agreement on my own behalf of my minor child.

Health and safety

I will act accordingly to keep myself and others safe at all times whilst using 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. If I see other bathers behaving inappropriately or dangerously, I will report it to a member of Community Sauna Baths CIC staff.

I understand that if I act in a way to cause other bathers to feel distressed or offended, through inappropriate language, sexual comments, non-consensual nudity or other offensive behaviour, that I will be asked to leave the Sauna and The Community Sauna premises. The decision to do so is at the discretion of Community Sauna Baths employees. I will respect their decision and accept it as final.

By signing this form means I have carefully read the 'Community Sauna Baths CIC' and agree with its contents.
