PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING
I voluntarily elect to participate in wellness services offered by redlightME, which may include use of the OvationULT™ red and/or near-infrared light therapy system and the Nordik Recovery Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna, including near-, mid-, and far-infrared heat, as well as related wellness services, equipment, amenities, and facility activities.
I understand that these services are intended for general wellness purposes and are not medical treatment, diagnosis, or a substitute for care from a licensed healthcare provider.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RISKS
I understand that individual responses vary and that participation in red light therapy, near-infrared therapy, infrared sauna/heat services, and use of related equipment involves inherent and other risks, whether known or unknown.
Possible risks or temporary effects may include warmth, sweating, dehydration, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, headache, nausea, fatigue, skin sensitivity, redness, irritation or burns, eye discomfort or sensitivity, changes in blood pressure, heart rate or circulation, overheating, heat exhaustion, loss of balance, slips or falls, anxiety or claustrophobia, aggravation of an existing medical condition, adverse reactions involving medications or implanted devices, equipment-related injury, or other unexpected reactions.
I understand that infrared sauna/heat services involve exposure to elevated temperatures and may increase sweating, heart rate, circulation, fluid loss, and body temperature.
I agree to discontinue my session immediately and notify redlightME staff if I experience dizziness, faintness, weakness, nausea, headache, confusion, difficulty breathing, chest discomfort, rapid or irregular heartbeat, excessive heat, unusual pain, vision changes, skin burning or irritation, anxiety, claustrophobia, or any other concerning symptom.
HEALTH, MEDICATION & DEVICE DISCLOSURE
I understand that certain medical conditions, pregnancy, implanted medical or electronic devices, heat intolerance, photosensitivity, recent illness, injuries, surgeries or procedures, and certain prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, supplements, or other substances may affect whether these services are appropriate for me.
I understand that I should seek guidance or medical clearance from a qualified healthcare provider before participating if I am pregnant or believe I may be pregnant; have cardiovascular or heart disease, high or low blood pressure, circulation problems, diabetes, neurological conditions, kidney disease, impaired ability to sweat or regulate body temperature, a history of fainting or heat-related illness, significant photosensitivity, seizures or epilepsy, cancer or another significant medical condition; have recently undergone surgery or a medical procedure; have an implanted medical or electronic device; or am otherwise uncertain whether these services are appropriate for me.
I agree to disclose relevant implanted devices, including but not limited to a pacemaker, implanted defibrillator (ICD), insulin pump, neurostimulator, or other implanted electronic or medical device.
I certify that the health and medication information I have provided to redlightME is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge.
I agree to notify redlightME before any future session if my health status, medications, pregnancy status, implanted devices, recent procedures, medical restrictions, or other relevant circumstances change.
I understand that disclosure of a condition does not necessarily prohibit me from all services; however, redlightME may decline, discontinue, or modify a service and may request clearance from a qualified healthcare provider when appropriate.
OVATIONULT™ RED / NEAR-INFRARED LIGHT SAFETY
I understand that red and near-infrared light exposure may not be appropriate for everyone, particularly individuals with photosensitivity, certain eye conditions, seizure disorders, certain medical conditions, or those taking medications or substances that increase sensitivity to light.
I agree to use protective eyewear when instructed and to follow all instructions regarding positioning, session duration, frequency, and operation of the OvationULT™.
I will immediately discontinue use if I experience visual disturbance, eye discomfort, unusual heat, itching, burning, dizziness, pain, or another adverse reaction.
NORDIK RECOVERY FULL SPECTRUM INFRARED SAUNA SAFETY
I understand that use of the Nordik Recovery Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna exposes my body to elevated temperatures and infrared energy and may affect hydration, circulation, blood pressure, heart rate, balance, and my body's ability to regulate temperature.
I agree to remain appropriately hydrated and follow all posted or verbal instructions regarding session duration, temperature, occupancy, entry, exit, and safe use.
I understand that excessive or prolonged heat exposure can result in dehydration, overheating, fainting, heat-related illness, serious injury, or medical emergency.
I agree to enter and exit the sauna carefully and understand that surfaces or components may become warm or hot.
I will not touch, cover, block, modify, disable, or tamper with heaters, vents, electrical components, temperature controls, safety devices, doors, or other equipment.
I will not bring prohibited items or substances into the sauna or use the sauna while impaired by alcohol, recreational drugs, or any substance that may impair judgment, balance, awareness, hydration, or heat tolerance.
I understand that I am responsible for monitoring how I feel throughout my session and will exit the sauna immediately if I feel unwell.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & MEMBER RESPONSIBILITY
I agree to follow all posted, electronic, and verbal safety instructions, including instructions regarding session duration, temperature, hydration, protective eyewear when instructed, occupancy, use of equipment, and exiting or discontinuing a session if I feel unwell.
I will use all equipment only for its intended purpose and will not alter equipment settings or use equipment contrary to redlightME instructions.
I agree to immediately report damaged, malfunctioning, or unusual equipment and will not continue using equipment that appears unsafe.
I understand that some redlightME services may be self-directed and may not involve continuous one-on-one staff supervision. I remain responsible for following instructions, monitoring my physical condition, and discontinuing a session when necessary.
NO GUARANTEE OF RESULTS
I understand that redlightME makes no guarantee regarding specific health, cosmetic, recovery, weight-loss, pain-relief, detoxification, sleep, performance, or other results. Individual experiences and outcomes vary.
VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION & ASSUMPTION OF RISK
I understand that my participation is entirely voluntary and that I may decline or discontinue a session at any time.
I acknowledge that no wellness activity, sauna/heat exposure, light therapy, facility use, or equipment use is entirely without risk.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I knowingly and voluntarily accept and assume the ordinary and inherent risks associated with my participation, use of redlightME facilities and equipment, and presence on the premises, including risks that may result from my own acts or omissions.
RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY

This includes, to the extent legally permitted, claims related to ordinary and inherent risks, slips or falls, use or misuse of equipment, ordinary equipment malfunction, ordinary supervision or lack of continuous supervision, premises conditions, or my failure to follow safety instructions.
Nothing in this agreement is intended to waive or release liability that cannot legally be waived under applicable law, including liability for gross negligence, reckless or willful misconduct, or other non-waivable conduct.
EMERGENCY CARE
If I become ill, injured, unconscious, or experience a medical emergency while on the premises, I authorize redlightME personnel to contact emergency medical services when reasonably believed necessary.
I understand that redlightME personnel do not provide medical diagnosis or treatment and may not be licensed medical professionals.
I understand that I am responsible for costs associated with emergency transportation, medical evaluation, or treatment.
CONTINUING CONSENT

My continued participation confirms that the health information I previously provided remains accurate or that I have disclosed relevant changes to redlightME before participating.
