Le Nexus — Acknowledgment of Risk and Waiver

Please read this carefully before you sign. It affects your legal rights.

1. Who and what this covers

This agreement is between me, the participant (or the parent or guardian signing for a participant), and Nexus Games (9544-7371 Québec inc.), which operates Le Nexus at 4075 Boulevard Saint-Laurent, Montréal, Québec H2W 1Y7 ("Nexus").

It covers every activity I take part in at Le Nexus, including:

•Singularity, the interactive floor rooms, where players run, jump, dodge and change direction quickly on lit floor tiles, in socks, with other players in the same room.

•Virtual Reality, the free-roam room, where players walk untethered while wearing a headset that blocks their view of the real room and of the other players.

•Quizy, The Red Room, the Game Lounge (pool, ping pong, board games) and any other attraction or common area of the venue.

It applies to this visit and to every later visit in the 12 months after I sign, unless Nexus asks me to sign a newer version.

2. The risks I am accepting

These activities are physical. I understand that taking part carries real risks that Nexus cannot remove, even when the rooms are well maintained and everyone follows the rules. They include:

•Falls and slips on the floor, on the lit tiles or on thresholds, including while running, jumping or stopping suddenly.

•Collisions with walls, fixtures, equipment or other players, including in VR, where I cannot see the real room.

•Sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, cuts, bruises, dental injuries, concussion and other head, neck or back injuries.

•Effects of flashing lights, fast-changing colours and loud sound, including seizures in people who are photosensitive, even with no earlier history.

•Effects of virtual reality: dizziness, nausea, motion sickness, disorientation, loss of balance, eye strain, headache and anxiety or fright, some of which can last after the session ends.

•Physical exertion: shortness of breath, overheating, dehydration, and the worsening of a heart, breathing or other health condition, known or unknown.

•The actions of other players, including careless ones.

•Skin or eye irritation from shared equipment such as headsets, even though it is cleaned between sessions.

I understand that these risks can lead to serious injury, permanent disability or other lasting health problems and, in rare cases, death.

I have had the chance to ask questions. I am taking part freely, and I can stop at any time by telling a staff member or leaving the room.

3. My health

I declare that I am fit to take part, and that I am not under the influence of alcohol, cannabis or any drug or medication that affects my balance, judgment or reaction time.

I understand that Nexus advises against taking part, without a doctor's approval, for anyone who:

•has epilepsy, has had seizures, or is sensitive to flashing lights;

•has a heart condition, high blood pressure that is not under control, or a serious breathing condition;

•is pregnant;

•has a pacemaker or another implanted medical device;

•is recovering from surgery, a fracture, a concussion or another recent injury;

•has a back, neck, joint or balance problem, or vertigo;

•suffers from severe motion sickness, serious anxiety or claustrophobia.

If any of these applies to me, I have chosen to take part knowing the added risk, or I will sit out. Nexus staff are not medical professionals and do not assess my fitness to play.

If I feel dizzy, sick or unwell at any point, I will stop immediately and tell a staff member. After a VR session I will not drive until any dizziness has fully passed.

If I am hurt or unwell, I authorize Nexus staff to give first aid and to call emergency services. Any ambulance or medical cost is my responsibility.

4. The rules I agree to follow

1.I will listen to the safety briefing and follow every instruction from staff and every posted rule.

2.In Singularity, I will play without shoes, wearing the non-slip socks Nexus provides. In VR, I will wear closed-toe shoes.

3.I will remove dangling jewellery, empty my pockets of sharp or loose objects, and tie back long hair.

4.I will not push, tackle, trip or grab other players, and I will not climb on walls, fixtures or equipment.

5.In VR, I will move at walking pace, stay inside the play area, and stop when the headset or a staff member warns me.

6.I will not bring food, drinks or gum into a game room.

7.I will use the equipment only as shown and tell staff right away about anything damaged, wet or unsafe.

8.I will tell staff right away about any injury or incident, however minor, before I leave the venue.

Staff may pause a game or remove any player who breaks these rules or appears unfit to play. In that case no refund is owed.

5. Assumption of risk and release

1.I accept the risks. I have read and understood the risks in section 2, I accept them, and I take part at my own risk.

2.Release. To the fullest extent the law allows, I release Nexus, its directors, officers, employees and representatives from any claim for injury, permanent health problem, death, loss or damage that results from:

–the inherent risks of the activities described in section 2;

–my own actions, including not following the rules or staff instructions;

–a health condition of mine, whether or not I knew about it;

–the actions of another participant.

3.My belongings. Nexus is not responsible for the loss, theft or damage of clothing, glasses, phones, jewellery or other personal property, whether left in a game room or anywhere else in the venue, unless caused by Nexus's intentional or gross fault.

4.Damage I cause. I am responsible for damage I cause to the equipment or the venue, and for injury I cause to another person, through a deliberate or reckless act or by breaking the rules.

5.What this does not do. Nothing in this agreement excludes or limits a liability that Quebec law does not allow to be excluded or limited, including Nexus's liability for bodily or moral injury caused by its own fault.

6. Age and minors

1.Minimum age. Every participant must be at least 8 years old. Some VR games have a higher minimum age, which staff will apply.

2.Participants 14 and older sign this agreement themselves. A participant aged 14 to 17 confirms that a parent or guardian knows they are taking part.

3.Participants 8 to 13 cannot sign. A parent or legal guardian signs for them, and an adult must accompany them at the venue for the whole visit.

If I am signing for a child, I declare that:

•I am the child's parent or legal guardian and I have the authority to sign for them;

•I have read the risks in section 2 and the health points in section 3 with the child in mind, and I consider the child fit to take part;

•I have explained the rules in section 4 to the child in words they understand, and the child agrees to follow them;

•I accept the risks of section 2 on the child's behalf and agree to sections 4 and 5 for the child and for myself;

•the accompanying adult is responsible for supervising the child outside the game rooms.

7. Personal information, photos and video

What Nexus keeps. Nexus collects the name and date of birth of each participant, the signer's email and phone number, the signature, the date and time of signing and the version of this text. It uses them only to prove that this agreement was signed, to check ages, to match the waiver to a booking and to contact me about my visit or an incident.

How long. Nexus keeps this record for 3 years after my last visit, then destroys it.

My rights. I can ask to see, correct or delete my information by writing to the person in charge of personal information at Nexus, the Nexus Administrator, at admin@nexuschallenge.ca. The full privacy policy is on the Legal page of nexuschallenge.ca.

Photos and video (optional). Only if I tick the separate photo box do I allow Nexus to use photos or video of me, and of the children I sign for, on its website and social media, without payment. I can withdraw this consent at any time by writing to the address above, and Nexus will stop using the images in new posts. Refusing does not affect my visit.

8. General

1.This agreement is governed by the laws of Québec.

2.If a court finds one clause invalid, the other clauses stay in force.

3.This agreement is available in French and in English. I was offered the French version first and I chose the language I am signing in.

4.I have read this whole agreement, I understand it, and I am signing it freely. A copy will be emailed to me.
