for those seeking
Membership in the Natural Fitness Trainers Association.
WHEREAS I am seeking Natural Fitness Trainers Association
(hereafter referred to as the NFTA) Certification
and as I have reviewed and understand this agreement, and also
all of the information available at the NFTA website as of the date of my
membership application, I voluntarily agree to the following:
The NFTA is in no way responsible for my actions or services as a
Natural Success CoachTM, Natural Strength & Conditioning TrainerTM, Natural Sports
TrainerTM, Natural Fitness
TrainerTM, Master Fitness
TrainerTM, or any other membership type. The NFTA is in no way responsible for my
actions or services, in any capacity. I will indemnify and hold harmless the NFTA,
all staff, employees, assignees, and anybody associated with the NFTA, for
any (and all) injury, accident, loss or theft, or any dispute, that may arise
between myself and the NFTA or with any client(s) I may service. I will require
that all clients sign the client waiver of liability form that the NFTA requires.
I will always maintain a copy of the waiver, and I will promptly provide
a copy to the NFTA upon its request.
The NFTA certification program and exam is the sole property of the
NFTA. I will not reveal test questions, nor reveal the contents of the exam
to anyone without prior written approval of the NFTA. I waive all rights
to question the grading decision, and release the NFTA, and anyone associated
with the NFTA from any liability associated with the certification exam,
its grading procedures or methods. I understand that the NFTA does not give
refunds and that the Terms and Conditions of this agreement and of NFTA
membership are subject to change without notice.
I understand that NFTA Certification means that I must be committed to training "Drug
Free", without the use of any legal or illegal bodybuilding enhancement
type drugs, and that I am committed to "Natural" Fitness Training
methods.
I understand that I am required to obtain Cardio Pulmonary
Resuscitation (CPR) certification - within 60 days of obtaining my NFTA
Natural Strength & Conditioning TrainerTM, Natural Sports
TrainerTM, or Natural Fitness
TrainerTM Certification.
I will mail a copy of my CPR certificate or card to the NFTA within the specified
time limit. Also, if my CPR certification is not kept current, then my NFTA
status may become probationary, or suspended until the NFTA receives said
proof of my current CPR certification. Each year, I will mail the NFTA a
copy of my current CPR certification.
I will maintain and observe the highest standards of professional
conduct (honesty, courtesy, & dependability). I affirm that I have thoroughly
studied and reviewed all of the information available at the NFTA
website, and that I firmly believe in and approve of the NFTA methods, principles
& guidelines, and likewise the methods, principles & guidelines
contained in the "Members Area" and in the "No Nonsense Guide To Natural
Bodybuilding" written by Frank Sheffield. I understand that these principles
& guidelines are intended for use only by healthy and disease free
individuals, age 18 and over.
Furthermore,
I understand that the NFTA does not consider
Natural Fitness Success Coach'sTM qualified to
act as independent health or fitness professionals, or as personal trainers. I
understand and agree that if I am, at any time, employed or otherwise acting
in said capacity, that I am required to obtain additional certification as a
personal trainer or to be under the direct supervision of an experienced and
qualified health professional.
Any correspondence from myself to the NFTA becomes the sole &
exclusive property of the NFTA. I give the NFTA permission to provide my
name, address, certification status, and educational status to prospective
clients and to also post this information on their website, or for use in
informational or promotional materials, or otherwise as deemed
necessary.
I understand and agree that I will periodically (at least once per
month) visit the NFTA website and Members area to keep up-to-date with any
changes.
I will not take any actions which seek to discredit, dishonor, or
cause any harm to the NFTA and/or its associates. I understand that the
terms of this agreement are subject to change without notice, at the sole
discretion of the NFTA. In the event that I am unhappy or dissatisfied (for
any reason) with its service, its members, its affiliates, or its associates;
the NFTA's liability will be limited to a refund of any fees paid, and as
such, my sole remedy will be to seek a refund of fees that I have paid the
NFTA. I understand that the NFTA does not give refunds. Furthermore, I understand
that the NFTA conducts test proctor searches for U.S. residents only. I agree
that by clicking on the submit button on the NFTA application page that I
am legally bound by the terms of this agreement. That this agreement is to
be treated as if I had I correctly signed, dated and completely filled out
this form. I also understand that this agreement supersedes any other NFTA
agreements or promises that may appear elsewhere.
Should I, or anyone, or any other entity, acting on my behalf,
file a legal claim(s) against the NFTA, its owner, its employees, its members,
its affiliates, or its associates, the said claim(s) must be filed in the
jurisdiction of Athens/Clarke County, Athens, Georgia. Since filing a legal
claim will constitute my breaking of this agreement, I promise to pay all
associated legal and travel expense fees incurred for any and all of my opponents
listed on said claim. Payment will be due upon demand. Furthermore, I will
not file any legal claims(s) seeking a return or refund of this payment.
These condition(s) will apply regardless of the outcome of said legal
actions.
In the event that any part of this agreement is voided, the remaining
portion(s) will remain in effect. The NFTA, all staff, employees, assignees,
affiliates, or associates, will have the right to bring any dispute(s) to
arbitration according to the rules of the Arbitration Association of their
choice, whose decision will be considered final and legally binding.
