NO GUARANTEES

Shine Mind Body Spirit’s role is to support and assist you in reaching your goals, but your success depends primarily on your own effort, motivation, commitment and follow-through. We cannot and do not guarantee that you will attain a particular result, and you accept and understand that results differ by each individual. Each individual’s health and wellness success depends on his or her background, dedication, desire, and motivation. As with any health-related program or service, your results may vary, and will be based on many variables, including but not limited to, your body chemistry, daily demands, energy expenditure, stage of life, individual capacity, life experience, unique health and genetic profile, starting point, expertise, and level of commitment.

TESTIMONIALS

Shine Mind Body Spirit present real world experiences, testimonials, and insights about other people’s experiences for purposes of illustration only. The testimonials, examples, and photos used are of actual clients and results they personally achieved. Each client has approved these testimonials, examples, and photos for use in materials to speak to my program, service, and/or product capabilities, but they are not intended to represent or guarantee that current or future clients will achieve the same or similar results.

Rather, these client stories represent what is possible with my programs, services, and/or products. Each of these unique stories, and any and all results reported in these stories by my clients, are the culmination of numerous variables, some of which I cannot control.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK

There are sometimes unknown individual risks and circumstances that can arise during use of our programs, services and/or products that cannot be foreseen that can influence or reduce results. Shine Mind Body Spirit is not responsible for your personal actions or choices before, during or after any of our programs, services and/or products.

You understand that any product or service is to be taken at your own risk, with no liability on the part of Shine Mind Body Spirit. You understand that any health or wellbeing product, suggestion, or recommendation is to be taken at your own risk, with no liability on our part. You accept full responsibility for the consequences of your use, or non-use, of any information provided through any means whatsoever. Your use, or non-use, of this information is at your own risk, and you absolve me of any liability or loss that you, or your family or children (if applicable), or any other person, may incur from your or their use, or non-use, of the information provided.
