Terms of Agreement

The Courses are open to the general public. Staccato does not pre-screen Students as to any particular Student’s background, expertise and licensing. The Procedures may be used by a wide range of providers depending upon the providers’ licensing and level of expertise. Staccato makes clear to the Students, and the Students understand that the Courses do not provide advice as to what Procedures Students may lawfully engage in performing. 


Therefore, and based upon the foregoing, Students must research and acquaint themselves with laws applicable to the legality of the Students’ performance of the Procedures. It is up to each Student to make sure that before any Procedure is performed by that Student, the Student is compliant with a state they are engaging in a Procedure and federal laws, rules and regulations including but not limited to FDA regulations that govern that Student’s legal ability to perform a Procedure.

The Claims shall include any and all: (a) claims by Staccato against its Students; and (b) claims by Staccato’s Students against Staccato including claims against Staccato’s officers, directors, managers, members, related entities and constituent entities. This arbitration clause is meant to be interpreted and construed broadly.
