PARTICIPATION & RELEASE OF LIABILITY AGREEMENT

Effective Date: June 4, 2024

By attending sessions with Noëlle Fueter, and/or Dogs & Dragons GmbH (“The Company”), either in person or online, or participating in any events, programs, or other services (“Services”) provided by Noëlle Fueter, any co-teachers, or Dogs & Dragons GmbH, you agree to the following terms and conditions:

 

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

Clients using the Company’s services understand that these services are not offered as a substitute for clinical mental health care or medical care and are not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent, mitigate, or cure any mental health or medical conditions. You should also understand that Noëlle Fueter is not acting as a medical professional. You agree to consult with your healthcare providers for any specific medical, emotional, or psychological problems. You are advised to continue any medical or psychological treatment that you’re currently receiving. In addition, you understand that any information shared during the services is not to be considered a recommendation that you stop seeing any of your healthcare professionals or using prescribed medication, if any, without consulting with your healthcare professional, even if after attending the services you believe that such medication or therapy is unnecessary.

Please be advised that by participating in the services, it’s possible to experience an adverse emotional reaction or physical discomfort, which could be perceived as negative side effects. It is also possible to experience some emotional distress and physical discomfort related to stressful experiences you may have had earlier in your life. You acknowledge you have been informed that some past participants in the services have reported that the services were perceived as physically, mentally, and/or emotionally stressful for them. Therefore, based on the foregoing, you agree to ask for help should your participation in the services inadvertently activate any distressing reactions in you. Also please be advised that it is possible during services that physical touch may be offered as a support to you. If you have any misgivings, doubts, or any negative reactions to any physical contact, it is very important that you let the facilitators or representatives know so that your choice not to have physical contact can be honored.

You understand there is a distinction between “healing,” which is an aspect of the services, and the practice of medicine, psychology, or any other licensed healthcare practice. The information presented, including the materials offered by the Company, are self-regulated and are considered alternative or complementary to the healing arts that are licensed in the United States. Noëlle Fueter is not a physician, licensed psychologist, psychotherapist, or other licensed healthcare provider. You agree to take full responsibility for your self-care in the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual dimensions of your life and to seek professional advice as appropriate before making any health decisions. Further, you assume and agree to accept full and complete responsibility for applying for yourself what you may learn from participating in the services. You understand and agree that you are fully responsible for your own well-being during and after your participation in services, and subsequently, your choices and decisions.

 

CONFIDENTIALITY

I recognize that all information, communications, and exchanges between me and Noëlle Fueter will be held in the strictest confidentiality and will not be shared with any individual or organization without my prior express written consent. I understand that the use of technology is not always secure and accept the risks of confidentiality in the use of email, text, phone, Zoom, and other technology. I also understand that Noëlle Fueter is required by law to report to the appropriate authorities any illegal activities that involve sexual abuse, sexual predators, or pedophiles. If a client threatens to harm themselves, I may be obligated to seek hospitalization for them or to contact family members or others who can help provide protection.

 

NO CLIENT-PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP

The use of our services does not create a client-professional relationship. Any information provided is not intended to create, and receipt of it does not constitute, a client-professional relationship.

 

WARRANTY

Any stories or testimonials presented during services do not constitute a warranty, guarantee, or prediction regarding the outcome for any particular issue or in experiencing any particular state of awareness or consciousness. Further, you understand that the Company makes no warranty, guarantee, or prediction regarding any outcome for you during or after the services for any particular issue or in experiencing any particular state of awareness or consciousness. Due to the fact that group programs may include processes in which you may voluntarily reveal personal information, you understand that you waive your rights of privacy and confidentiality when participating in a group process.

 

PARTICIPATION

You acknowledge and agree that anything and everything discussed with Noëlle Fueter or other facilitators or any volunteer either during or separate from the sessions and programs is merely a perspective for you to consider in conducting your affairs.

You understand that your participation in the services is strictly voluntary, at your own risk, and that you freely choose to participate. Since the services are experiential and the extent of the service’s effectiveness, as well as the service’s risks and benefits, are not fully known, you agree to assume and accept full and complete responsibility for any and all risks associated with your participation in the services. Further, you agree and understand that this agreement is intended to be a complete unconditional release of liability and assumption of risk to the greatest extent permitted by law.
