PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: BY SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT, YOU WILL WAIVE CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE OR CLAIM COMPENSATION.

The individual named below (referred to as "I" or "me") desires to participate in personal service activities, including, but not limited to hair extension, hair treatments, scalp treatments (the "Activity") provided by BIJOU BONDS, an Ontario business (the "Company") operating in Ontario.

1. I am aware and understand that the Activity is a potentially dangerous activity and involves the risk of serious injury, illness, disability, death, or property damage. I understand and acknowledge that while the Company has implemented measures to reduce the risk of injury from the Activity, the Company cannot guarantee that I will not be injured due to my participation in the Activity.

I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITY WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE DANGERS INVOLVED. I HEREBY AGREE TO ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL RISKS OF INJURY, ILLNESS, DISABILITY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING FROM MY ENGAGING IN THE ACTIVITY, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE COMPANY OR OTHERWISE.

2. I understand that the signing of this Waiver is a required component of the Activity. I acknowledge that I am signing this Waiver and I am agreeing to be bound to the terms within this Waiver and the Terms and Conditions available above (the "Terms and Conditions"), which I have reviewed, as good and valuable consideration in exchange for the Company permitting me to participate in the Activity.  

3. I understand and acknowledge that the Company film, photograph, or otherwise record the Activity for promotional and other similar purposes, all of which may be posted on the Company’s website, social media platforms, and/or other public platforms. I hereby expressly and irrevocably give the Company my permission and consent, and grant the Company the right to film, record, and photograph me and record my voice (collectively, the "Recording"). I further irrevocably grant and license to the Company and the Releasees the rights to display, publicly perform, exhibit, transmit, broadcast, or otherwise use, the Recording, including my image, likeness, appearance, and voice as they appear in the Recording, to be used on the Company’s website, social media accounts, and/or any other public platforms for the purpose of promoting the Company and/or the Activity, or any similar purpose, without further consent from or any royalty, payment, or other compensation to me.

4. I acknowledge and agree that the Company or its Releasees is or are and will be the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest in and to the Recording (including all film, photographs, and other recordings, including outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage), including all copyrights and other intellectual property rights therein, in perpetuity throughout the universe. I further hereby do, (a) assign, transfer, and otherwise convey to the Company, irrevocably and in perpetuity, throughout the universe, all of my right, title, and interest in and to, if any, the Recording, including all copyright and other intellectual property rights, including all registration, renewal, and reversion rights, and the right to register and sue to enforce such copyrights against infringers; and (b) irrevocably waive any and all claims I may now or hereafter have in any jurisdiction to so-called "moral rights" or rights of droit moral in the Recording wherever such rights are recognized.

5. I hereby expressly waive and release the Company, and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, affiliates, shareholders, successors, and assigns (collectively, "Releasees") from any all responsibility and from any liability for:

I understand that this Waiver is a release of my right to sue the Company and that this Waiver may be used against me in a court of law should I sue the Company. I further understand that the term “Right to Sue” means the right to make a claim, bring a lawsuit or otherwise advance any action against the Company for any losses, illnesses, injuries, death or damages that I may sustain and for any expenses or costs I may incur during, because of, arising out of or in relation to my participation in the Activity or the Company or Releasees’ production, exhibition, advertising, promotion, or other use of the Recording.

The primary operator of BIJOU BONDS is internationally trained through a board-certified academic institution authorized to issue professional licenses in the European Union, United Kingdom, and United Arab Emirates. As a result, the qualifications held by BIJOU BONDS exceed the professional standards currently available in North America, where no equivalent licensing framework exists for this field.

BIJOU BONDS operates in Canada, a jurisdiction with significantly fewer consumer regulations for this type of service compared to regions like the European Union. The disclosures below are provided to support informed decision-making and promote consumer safety as you explore local options for hair-related services.

In Canada, trichology and the title of trichologist are not recognized as licensed medical professions. However, a licensed medical doctor—such as a dermatologist—may have advanced knowledge in the field of trichology.

As of publication, there are no formal licensing requirements in Canada for non-medical scalp services (commonly known as ‘head spas’), as these fall under the category of personal services—similar to tattoo studios and nail salons—which are subject only to minimal regulations related to public safety and hygiene.

It is your sole responsibility to research the credentials, training, and experience of any trichology practitioner, head spa, or related personal care provider. In the absence of standardized licensing, consumers may face varying levels of risk when treated by individuals who lack the qualifications or awareness needed to safely perform these services.

It’s important to understand that—regardless of good intentions, popularity, or anecdotal advice found online or on social media—only a licensed medical professional (such as a doctor) is qualified to advise you on bloodwork, diet, supplements, prescriptions, biopsies, or any matters related to internal medicine. BIJOU BONDS does not provide advice on internal medical issues and will always encourage collaboration with your primary physician to help you achieve the best aesthetic outcomes.

BIJOU BONDS and its operators are not licensed medical doctors, physicians, naturopathic doctors, registered dietitians, pharmacists, psychologists, psychotherapists, or any other formally licensed healthcare professionals, practitioners, or medical providers. BIJOU BONDS does not provide medical, psychological, or other professional advice or treatment related to internal medicine or laboratory diagnostics, nor does the company offer or prescribe any medical diagnosis, treatment, medication, or remedy. However, from time to time, BIJOU BONDS may collaborate with international laboratories to test hair extensions for quality assurance purposes.
