Terms of Service
PARTICIPANT WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY
Reality Shift, Inc. dba The Braking Zone
PLEASE READ THIS WAIVER CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING. BY SIGNING, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THE
TERMS SET FORTH BELOW.
1. Acknowledgement of Risk & Assumption of Responsibility
Sim Racing is a social activity with inherent risks. I, the undersigned participant, understand
that operating a racing simulator (the “activity”) may involve certain risks including: physical
discomfort or motion-related side effects (e.g., dizziness or nausea), accidental misuse of
equipment resulting in damage, and any other unforeseen risks associated with participation in
the simulator. If you feel sick or uncomfortable while using the equipment please stop briefly
and ask for assistance. We can make limited adjustments to our equipment to make your session
more enjoyable.
There are risks, hazards, and dangers inherent in participating in full-motion simulators, which
may include serious injury or property damage. Operating a simulator involves abrupt seat
movements and operation of electronics and hydraulic hardware similar to those in actual racing
vehicles. Simulators, whether operating or not, may produce loud noises, flashing lights, and
unexpected movements at any time without warning. They may not be suitable for persons with
epilepsy or underlying physical or mental conditions that are sensitive to such activity.
By voluntarily participating in this activity, I acknowledge and accept these risks, and assume
full responsibility for my actions during use of the simulator and agree to use the equipment
responsibly and in accordance with written and oral instructions provided by Reality Shift, Inc.
2. Release of Liability
In consideration of being allowed to participate in the activity, I hereby release, waive, and
discharge Reality Shift, Inc. and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, and
assigns from any and all liability, claims, or causes of action, whether known or unknown,
arising out of or related to: (i) use of the simulator; (ii) personal injury or discomfort
sustained during or as a result of my participation in the activity, and (ii) any damage to
personal property caused by the activity.
3. Activity.
You are being granted a limited, non-exclusive license to use Reality Shift, Inc. equipment and
licensed software for the duration of your booked session. The duration of your session is not
dependent on your use of the software, including whether you win or lose. We want you to have
fun, but if you end your session early, you will still be charged for your entire booked
session. If you arrive late to your booked session, you will not receive a refund.
4. Rules.
Gambling in relation to this activity is not permitted at any time.
Operating a simulator while intoxicated will decrease the participant's ability to compete and
to enjoy the experience. Reality Shift, Inc. may refuse service to visibly intoxicated persons.
Simulated driving involves an element of competition and physical stimulation that can result in
elevated emotions and excited behavior. Participants may be exposed to occasional expletives or
aggressive competitive behavior, and are expected to quickly and amicably terminate such
behavior if requested to do so. Reality Shift, Inc. has a zero-tolerance policy regarding
bullying, or sexual or physical abuse (including verbal abuse). If you are found to be violating
these rules or any other written or stated rules, your use of the simulator will be terminated
and you will not receive a refund.
Reality Shift, Inc. reserves the right to refuse service to any person for any reason if we
believe there is a danger to our staff, customers, property, or equipment. Such potential danger
includes actual or potential damage, injury, insult, and verbal, physical, or emotional abuse.
Reality Shift Inc welcomes service animals. Service Animals may find the environment of this
activity to be unpleasant or distressing. All animals, including service animals, must be under
the control of their owner at all times. Reality Shift, Inc. is not able to provide pet-sitting
or supervision of service animals.
5. Indemnification.
I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Reality Shift, Inc. from any and all claims, damages, or
expenses, including attorney fees, arising from my participation in the activity.
6. Media Release.
I grant Reality Shift, Inc. permission to use photographs or videos of me participating in the
simulator for promotional or marketing purposes.
7. Agreement to Terms.
I read and understand this Waiver and Release of Liability and voluntarily signed below. I
understand that I am waiving certain legal rights.
8. Governing Law & Venue.
This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced according to the laws of the state of Oregon.
The venue of any suit arising under this Waiver and Release of Liability shall be in any court
of competent jurisdiction in Lane County, Oregon.
