To the fullest extent permitted by law, Emigre Ltd trading as FieldWorks Dance, its directors, employees, volunteers, agents and independent instructors shall not be liable for any loss, damage, injury or illness arising from participation in our Services except where such liability results from our negligence or where liability cannot legally be excluded or limited.
