By accessing and using ActiveWay Life services, programs, and community resources, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. These terms apply to all visitors, users, and participants who access or engage with our platform, activities, and community initiatives across Australia. If you disagree with any part of these terms, please discontinue use of our services immediately.
We reserve the right to modify, update, or change these terms at any time without prior notice.

We encourage you to review these terms periodically to stay informed about your rights and responsibilities as a member of our community.
2. Description of Services
ActiveWay Life provides educational resources, community support, workshop opportunities, and guidance related to active lifestyle practices including walking, running, outdoor fitness activities, and healthy habit formation. Our services are designed to inspire and support individuals in their personal wellness journeys through accessible information and community connection opportunities.
We offer various programs, meetups, workshops, and resources aimed at promoting consistent daily movement and sustainable healthy routines. All services are provided for informational and motivational purposes only. ActiveWay Life does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. You should consult qualified healthcare professionals before beginning any new physical activity program.
3. User Responsibilities
As a participant in ActiveWay Life activities and community programs, you are responsible for assessing your own physical fitness and health status before engaging in any physical activities we describe or facilitate. You must ensure that you are physically capable of participating in chosen activities and should obtain medical clearance if you have any health concerns or pre-existing conditions.
You agree to engage respectfully with other community members, follow safety guidelines provided during workshops and group activities, and use our resources responsibly. You are solely responsible for any injuries, damages, or losses that may occur as a result of your participation in activities associated with ActiveWay Life.
Users must provide accurate information when registering for workshops, joining community groups, or submitting contact forms. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
4. Assumption of Risk
Physical activities including walking, running, and outdoor fitness training carry inherent risks of injury. By participating in ActiveWay Life programs and activities, you voluntarily assume all risks associated with physical activity and outdoor recreation. These risks may include, but are not limited to, muscle strains, sprains, falls, environmental hazards, and cardiovascular events.
ActiveWay Life provides general guidance and community support but cannot guarantee specific results or outcomes from participation in our programs. Individual results vary based on numerous factors including personal effort, consistency, baseline fitness level, and individual health circumstances.

6. Community Conduct Guidelines
ActiveWay Life fosters an inclusive, supportive community environment. All participants must treat others with respect, courtesy, and consideration. Harassment, discrimination, bullying, or any form of abusive behavior toward other community members, facilitators, or staff will not be tolerated and may result in immediate removal from programs and activities.
You agree not to post, share, or communicate content that is offensive, defamatory, threatening, obscene, or otherwise inappropriate. We reserve the right to remove any user-generated content that violates these guidelines and to restrict or terminate access for users who engage in prohibited conduct.
7. Workshop and Event Participation
Participation in ActiveWay Life workshops and community events may require advance registration. Registration availability operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and we reserve the right to limit participation numbers for safety and quality purposes. We may cancel or reschedule events due to insufficient enrollment, weather conditions, or other unforeseen circumstances.
Participants are expected to arrive on time, bring appropriate gear and supplies as specified in event descriptions, and follow all instructions provided by facilitators and instructors. Disruptive behavior or failure to follow safety guidelines may result in removal from the activity without refund or compensation.
