2. Acceptance of These Terms
By purchasing or using a Bangles & Barbells product or service, you confirm that:
you have read and understood these Terms;
you agree to be legally bound by them;
the information you provide to us is accurate and complete; and
you will comply with reasonable instructions provided by Bangles & Barbells, its coaches, instructors or the venue where a programme takes place.
Additional terms may apply to individual products or programmes. Where specific terms are provided on a product or purchase page, those terms form part of your agreement with us.
If there is a conflict between these Terms and specific terms clearly displayed for a particular product or programme, the specific product or programme terms will apply to the extent of that conflict.
3. Eligibility
Unless otherwise stated for a particular programme, Bangles & Barbells programmes are open to participants aged 16 years or over.
If you are aged 16 or 17, you must have the consent of a parent or legal guardian before participating in a Bangles & Barbells programme.
Where required, we may request evidence of parental or guardian consent before participation.
You must provide accurate information when purchasing or registering for a programme.
We may refuse or delay participation where required health information has not been provided or where, following assessment of the information provided, we reasonably consider that participation cannot safely proceed.
4. Our Products and Services
The precise nature of each Bangles & Barbells product or programme will be described on the relevant product or purchase page.
This may include information such as:
programme duration;
start and end dates;
session dates and times;
location;
number of sessions;
equipment required;
online resources included;
access period;
subscription frequency and price; and
specific participation requirements.
We will make reasonable efforts to ensure that information describing our products and services is accurate at the time of purchase.
We may make reasonable changes to programme content, session structure, coach or instructor arrangements, or venue arrangements where necessary to operate the programme, provided that this does not materially reduce the service you have purchased.
Where a material change is required, we will communicate this to affected participants and take reasonable steps to provide an appropriate alternative where possible.
5. Booking and Confirmation
A booking is made when you complete the purchase process and payment has been successfully received.
For programmes requiring health screening, payment does not by itself guarantee confirmation of participation.
Where a PAR-Q or other health screening is required, participation will be confirmed following assessment of the information provided.
Places on programmes may be limited and are subject to availability.
You are responsible for checking the details of your booking before completing payment, including:
programme;
dates;
times;
location;
price; and
participation requirements.
6. PAR-Q and Health Screening
For in-person programmes and any other programme where we consider it appropriate, you will be required to complete a PAR-Q or other health screening questionnaire before participating.
You must provide information that is accurate, complete and up to date.
The purpose of the PAR-Q is to identify circumstances that may require further consideration before you exercise.
If information provided in your PAR-Q raises a concern, Bangles & Barbells will consider whether the programme or relevant exercises can be safely adapted or otherwise accommodated.
Where appropriate, we may ask you to provide further information or seek medical guidance before participation.
We will do our best to mitigate identified issues safely and reasonably where this can be achieved within the scope of the programme.
If medical guidance indicates that you should not participate in the programme, we will process a refund of the relevant booking fee provided that appropriate evidence of the medical advice is supplied.
Where Bangles & Barbells determines that participation cannot safely proceed based on the health information provided, we may decline participation and will communicate the position to you.
Our assessment of a PAR-Q is undertaken for participation and safety purposes. It does not constitute medical diagnosis, treatment or medical advice.
7. Fitness and Exercise Participation
Exercise involves inherent risks, including but not limited to muscle soreness, strains, sprains, falls and other injuries.
The level of risk may vary depending on the exercise, equipment, environment and individual circumstances.
You are responsible for:
participating within your own capabilities;
informing the coach or instructor of relevant limitations or concerns;
following reasonable safety instructions;
using equipment appropriately; and
stopping exercise if you feel unable to continue safely.
You should seek appropriate medical advice where you have concerns about your ability to exercise.
Bangles & Barbells does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment.
Our programmes are not a substitute for advice or treatment from a suitably qualified healthcare professional.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation would be unlawful.
8. In-Person Programmes and Partner Venues
Some Bangles & Barbells programmes take place at third-party venues.
We may partner with gyms, studios or other venues to facilitate the delivery of our programmes.
Where you attend a programme at a partner venue, you agree to comply with reasonable venue rules and requirements, including those relating to:
access;
equipment;
health and safety;
behaviour;
use of facilities; and
any reasonable instructions provided by venue staff.
The venue may be provided with participant information, including names, where reasonably necessary for health and safety, access, administration or delivery of the programme.
Partner venues are separate businesses from Bangles & Barbells unless expressly stated otherwise.
A venue's provision of space or facilities does not mean that the venue operates the Bangles & Barbells programme.
9. Payment
Prices are displayed on the relevant purchase page and are stated in pounds sterling unless otherwise indicated.
Payment is processed through our third-party payment provider, Stripe.
Payment processing is subject to Stripe's applicable terms and privacy practices.
Bangles & Barbells does not store your complete payment card details.
You must provide accurate billing and payment information and have appropriate authority to use the payment method provided.
If payment is unsuccessful, we may suspend or cancel access to the relevant product or service until payment has been received.
10. Cancellation and Refunds — In-Person Workshops
Our in-person workshops are scheduled for specific dates and/or periods.
Except where required by law or expressly provided for in these Terms, bookings for in-person workshops cannot be cancelled by the participant and are non-refundable.
This means that we do not ordinarily provide refunds where you:
change your mind;
can no longer attend;
have a diary or scheduling conflict;
make alternative plans;
decide that the programme is no longer suitable for you; or
are unable to attend for personal reasons.
If you are unable to participate because a health issue is identified through the required PAR-Q process before the programme and medical guidance confirms that you should not participate, a refund may be provided in accordance with Section 6.
Appropriate evidence of medical guidance may be requested.
If you develop an illness, injury or other medical issue after booking, this does not automatically entitle you to a refund. Any statutory rights you may have remain unaffected.
Nothing in this section limits any consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.
11. Cancellation or Changes by Bangles & Barbells
We may need to cancel, postpone or materially change a programme because of circumstances including:
venue availability;
coach or instructor availability;
insufficient bookings;
safety considerations;
circumstances outside our reasonable control; or
other significant operational reasons.
Where we need to make a material change, we will provide reasonable notice where possible.
If Bangles & Barbells cancels a programme and does not provide a reasonable alternative, we will provide any refund required by law.
We will not use this section to remove any statutory rights you may have.
12. Online and Digital Products
Where you purchase access to an online or digital programme, your access will be provided for the period stated on the relevant product page.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, access is personal to you.
You must not:
share your login details;
give another person access to paid content;
copy or redistribute paid programme materials;
sell, sublicense or commercially exploit programme materials;
record or reproduce paid sessions for redistribution; or
upload Bangles & Barbells content to another website, platform or social media account without permission.
You may use programme materials for your own personal fitness and educational purposes.
Nothing in this section affects any statutory rights applicable to digital content.
13. Subscriptions
Some Bangles & Barbells products may be offered as subscriptions.
Where a subscription is offered, the relevant purchase page will clearly state:
the subscription price;
billing frequency;
what is included;
how the subscription can be cancelled; and
any applicable minimum commitment.
Where you purchase a subscription, you authorise Stripe to process recurring payments in accordance with the subscription you selected.
You may cancel your subscription using the cancellation method stated on the relevant purchase or account page.
Unless otherwise stated, cancellation will prevent future renewal payments while allowing access to continue until the end of the period already paid for.
Where applicable law provides additional cancellation or refund rights for subscription services, those rights will apply.
14. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, Bangles & Barbells owns or has the right to use the intellectual property contained in its website, programmes, written materials, videos, graphics, branding, logos and other content.
This includes the Bangles & Barbells name, branding and programme materials.
Purchasing a programme does not transfer ownership of that intellectual property to you.
You are granted a limited, personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to access and use programme materials for the purpose for which they were provided.
You must not reproduce, sell, publish, distribute or commercially exploit Bangles & Barbells materials without our prior written permission.
15. Community Participation and User Content
Some Bangles & Barbells products may include access to an online community or allow participants to submit comments, photographs, videos or other material.
You remain responsible for material that you submit.
You must not submit material that:
is unlawful;
infringes another person's rights;
is abusive, threatening or discriminatory;
contains another person's private or confidential information without appropriate permission;
contains malicious software; or
is otherwise inappropriate for the relevant community.
We may remove content or restrict access to community areas where reasonably necessary to maintain a safe and respectful environment.
16. Respectful Participation
Bangles & Barbells is intended to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment.
Participants are expected to treat coaches, instructors, venue staff, other participants and members of the wider community respectfully.
We may take reasonable action where a participant:
behaves abusively or threateningly;
harasses another participant, coach or instructor;
repeatedly disregards reasonable safety instructions;
deliberately damages equipment or property; or
materially disrupts a programme or community.
Where appropriate, we will normally provide an opportunity to resolve the issue before restricting participation, except where immediate action is reasonably necessary for safety or other serious reasons.
Any decision to suspend or remove access will not affect any statutory right to a refund where applicable.

Bangles & Barbells may use or link to third-party services, including:
payment providers;
website and hosting platforms;
booking or form providers;
email platforms;
