Terms of Use

Effective: August 13, 2026 · Last updated: August 13, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of https://miafencing.com and related online Services operated by Mia Fencing LLC (“Mia Fencing,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including the public website, member portal, manager portal, school and after-school program interfaces, lead and trial forms, WhatsApp handoffs, and electronic waivers. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Operator and eligibility

The Services are operated by Mia Fencing LLC, a Florida limited liability company. You must be able to form a binding contract under applicable law to use account features and purchase memberships. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Services only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Description of the Services

Mia Fencing provides fencing instruction, club memberships, school and after-school programs, trial opportunities, and related digital tools to manage enrollment, communications, and payments. Online features may include browsing program information, submitting leads or trial requests, creating accounts, accessing member or manager portals, completing waivers, and paying via Stripe. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features with reasonable notice when practicable.

3. Accounts and security

Certain features require an account authenticated through our providers (including Supabase Auth). You agree to provide accurate information, keep credentials confidential, and notify us promptly of unauthorized use. You are responsible for activity under your account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, pose a security risk, or involve fraudulent payment activity.

4. Memberships, programs, and payments (Stripe)

Memberships, class packages, school/after-school enrollments, and other paid offerings are subject to the specific plan details, pricing, schedules, and cancellation or refund rules communicated at purchase or in your membership agreement. Payments are processed by Stripe. By submitting a payment, you authorize charges to your selected payment method and agree to Stripe’s applicable terms. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers.

Failed payments, chargebacks initiated in bad faith, or misuse of promotional offers may result in suspension of membership privileges. Taxes, if any, will be charged as required by law. Currency and billing intervals are as stated at checkout.

5. Minors and parental responsibility

Parents and legal guardians who enroll a minor represent that they have legal authority to do so, that information provided about the child is accurate, and that they will supervise participation as reasonably required by club policies. Guardians are responsible for ensuring the minor complies with safety rules and for reviewing and signing required waivers.

6. Waivers and assumption of risk

Participation in fencing and related physical activities involves inherent risks of injury. Before participating in classes, trials, competitions, or on-site activities, you (or a parent/guardian for a minor) may be required to execute an electronic liability waiver and related acknowledgements. Those documents form part of the agreement between you and Mia Fencing. Refusal to sign required waivers may result in denial of participation.

SPORTS AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DISCLAIMER: Fencing is a contact sport involving blades, footwork, and physical exertion. You acknowledge that injuries—including serious injury—can occur despite reasonable precautions, coaching, and protective equipment. You participate voluntarily and assume the risks inherent in the sport to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to any non-waivable rights under applicable law and subject to the specific waiver you sign.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Misuse the Services, attempt unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data, or interfere with security or availability.
  • Upload unlawful, harmful, defamatory, or infringing content, or content that violates others’ privacy.
  • Impersonate another person, misrepresent affiliation with Mia Fencing, or submit false enrollment or payment information.
  • Scrape, harvest, or systematically extract data from the Services except as expressly permitted in writing.
  • Use the Services to harass athletes, staff, or other users, or to violate club codes of conduct.
  • Circumvent payment, membership, or access controls.

We may investigate violations and cooperate with law enforcement where appropriate.

8. School and after-school programs; leads and WhatsApp

School and after-school offerings may be subject to additional rules of the partner institution. Lead and trial forms collect information to respond to your inquiry; submitting a form does not guarantee placement. Where you elect a WhatsApp handoff, you consent to continue communication via WhatsApp, which is subject to WhatsApp’s terms and privacy practices.

9. Intellectual property

The Services—including text, branding, logos, graphics, videos, software, and compilation—are owned by Mia Fencing or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for personal or internal membership-related purposes in accordance with these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, publicly display, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from our materials except as allowed by mandatory law or our prior written consent.

10. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MIA FENCING DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that content (including schedules) is always complete or current.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, Mia Fencing LLC AND ITS OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, COACHES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR PARTICIPATION IN PROGRAMS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in such cases, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law and other applicable law. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory law (including liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct where such exclusion is prohibited).

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Mia Fencing and its officers, members, employees, coaches, and agents from and against claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Services, your violation of law or third-party rights, or inaccurate information you provide, except to the extent caused by our willful misconduct.

13. Governing law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Services shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence provide otherwise and cannot be waived.

14. Disputes

You agree to first contact us at privacy@miafencing.com to attempt to resolve any dispute informally. If we cannot resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days, either party may pursue binding arbitration or litigation exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Florida, United States, unless a different forum is required by mandatory law. You consent to personal jurisdiction in Florida for such disputes. Class action waivers may apply to the extent permitted by law; nothing here limits non-waivable consumer rights.

15. Changes and termination

We may update these Terms by posting a revised version on the website with an updated effective date. Material changes will be communicated where required. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance where permitted by law. We may suspend or terminate access for breach, legal risk, or discontinuation of the Services. Provisions that by nature should survive (including IP, waivers, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and governing law) will survive termination.
