Founder Contribution Terms

1. What This Is (And What It's Not)

Sparkle and Soul Fitness is currently a personal project being developed by an individual fitness instructor. This is not a registered business, gym, health spa, or formal membership program.

Your payment is a contribution to help launch this project, similar to supporting a creator on Kickstarter or Patreon. You're helping bring this vision to life.

What you're NOT getting:

• A guaranteed business membership
• A legally binding service contract
• Access to an existing gym or facility
• Immediate services or classes

What you ARE getting:

• Priority access when activities launch (no guaranteed date)
• Locked-in contribution rate (you won't pay more later)
• The opportunity to "hang out" and participate in fitness activities as they develop
• Support for a personal project you believe in

2. Contribution Packages

Five-Class Founder Pack ($35)

Your $35 contribution reserves you for approximately 5 group fitness sessions once activities launch. Sessions will be casual, community-focused "hang outs" centered around movement and wellness.

Unlimited Founder Contribution ($50/month)

Your $50/month contribution supports ongoing development and reserves you for unlimited participation in group activities once they launch. This is a recurring contribution you can cancel anytime.

Elite VIP Collective ($75/month)

Your $75/month contribution provides everything in Unlimited, plus priority consideration for one-on-one sessions, early access to events, and special community perks. This is a recurring contribution you can cancel anytime.

Important: All estimated quantities (like "5 classes" or "unlimited") are best-effort goals, not guarantees. Actual activities will depend on project development, availability, and circumstances.

3. No Guaranteed Timeline or Delivery

Like Kickstarter or other crowdfunding platforms, there is no guaranteed date when activities will launch.

Current goals include:

• Securing a suitable space in the Frisco, TX area
• Developing class formats and schedules
• Building a founding community
• Launching initial "hang out" sessions by Summer 2026 (target, not guarantee)

What if it doesn't launch? While every effort will be made to bring this project to life, circumstances may prevent launch. See Section 8 (Refund Policy) for options if the project is unable to proceed.

4. Best-Effort Basis

This project is being developed on a best-effort basis. The project creator will make reasonable efforts to:

• Communicate progress and updates to founding contributors
• Launch activities in a safe, welcoming environment
• Honor the spirit of each contribution package
• Provide value comparable to your contribution amount

However, the creator cannot guarantee:

• Specific launch dates or timelines
• Particular class formats, instructors, or locations
• Availability on specific days or times
• Any specific outcomes or results

5. Personal Project, Not a Business

This is a personal creative and fitness project, similar to an artist selling early access to a future studio or a creator building a community space.

Legal Status:

• This is not a registered Texas health spa (no Health Spa Act bond required)
• This is not a formal gym membership or business contract
• Contributions are voluntary support for a personal project
• There is no business entity, LLC, or corporation (currently)

If the project grows into a formal business in the future, founding contributors will be notified and given the opportunity to convert their contributions into formal memberships under updated terms.

6. Payment Terms

One-Time Contributions (5-Class Pack)

Your $35 payment is a one-time contribution. It is non-refundable after 14 days from the date of contribution (see Section 8).

Recurring Contributions (Unlimited & VIP)

Your monthly contribution will be charged automatically each month until you cancel. You can cancel at any time through your payment method or by contacting the project creator.

Cancellation notice: Cancel anytime. If you cancel before activities launch, you may request a refund (see Section 8). After activities launch, cancellations are effective at the end of your current billing period.

Price lock: Your contribution rate is locked in. Future contributors may pay different rates, but your rate will not increase as long as you maintain your contribution.

7. Assumption of Risk & Liability Waiver

You understand and acknowledge:

• Physical Activity Risk: Fitness activities involve inherent physical risk of injury. You participate at your own risk.
• No Medical Advice: Nothing in this project constitutes medical, health, or professional fitness advice. Consult your physician before participating in any physical activity.
• Personal Responsibility: You are responsible for your own health, safety, and fitness level. You will not participate in activities beyond your physical capabilities.
• Informal Setting: These are casual "hang out" fitness sessions, not formal personal training or medical services.

Release of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree not to hold the project creator liable for:

• Any injuries sustained during fitness activities
• Property loss or damage
• Project delays or cancellations
• Changes to planned activities or formats
• Inability to launch the project

Maximum Liability: In any event, the creator's total liability is limited to the amount you actually contributed.
