The Gaming Lab L.L.C. Waiver 

• ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK, WAIVER OF LIABILITY, AND INDEFMINIFCATION AGREEMENT 

• By signing this agreement, I acknowledge that I have been fully informed by The Gaming Lab L.L.C. , a Michigan Limited Liability Company, of the risks inherent to participating in its virtual reality (“VR”) demonstrations, activities, and use of various VR equipment (the “VR Activities”), and use of any additional ancillary equipment and facilities required for participation in the VR Activities. 

•  
  1. Potential Risks 
  I acknowledge that this activity may involve a test of a person’s physical and mental limits and carries with it the potential for serious injury. Inherent hazards and risks include anxiety, blood pressure changes, disorientation, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, impaired hand-eye coordination, impaired sense of balance, impaired vision, loss of awareness, decreased ability to multi-task, increased heart rate, increased salivation, increased sweating, lightheadedness, motion sickness, nausea; eye soreness or strain, eye twitching, fainting, minor fall-related injuries, joint pain or weakness, muscle pain or weakness, damage to joints, ligaments, muscles, permanent or temporary alterations in vision, permanent or temporary hearing loss, loss of consciousness, panic attacks post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”), repetitive stress injuries, seizures, serious contact or fall-related injuries, injuries arising from equipment malfunction or misuse by Participant or other participants; and/or injuries arising from impact or collision with other participants, spectators, or agents or employees of the Released Party. 

• I further acknowledge that the above list is not complete and that pre-existing or unknown conditions or injuries of mine and/or unanticipated risks could cause illness, physical or emotional injury, or death. All of these injuries can persist and become more apparent hours after the VR Activities and may lead to an increased risk of injury when engaging in normal activities in the real world after leaving the premises, or other unforeseen consequences, which may be due to the unavailability of immediate emergency medical care and/or property damage, as a consequence thereof. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the VR Activities. 

•  
  Furthermore, The Gaming Lab L.L.C. employees have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant’s fitness or abilities. They may give incomplete warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might become loose, out of adjustment, or malfunction. There is also a risk that The Gaming Lab L.L.C.  employees may be negligent in, among other things, monitoring and supervising use of its equipment and facilities and in the maintenance and repair of its equipment and facilities. 

• Despite being informed of these risks, I have chosen, on my own freewill, to participate or allow my child/ward to participate in VR Activities promoted by The Gaming Lab L.L.C. I HEREBY ASSUME ALL OF THE RISKS OF PARTICIPATING IN ANY/ALL ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS EVENT, including by way of example and not limitation, any risks that may arise from negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons or entities being released, from dangerous or defective equipment or property owned, maintained, or controlled by them, or because of their possible liability without fault. I understand the description of these risks is not complete and that unknown or unanticipated risks may result in injury, illness, or death.
