YOU PLAY.

1. Who is agreeing, and what permission is given

This agreement is between you, the actual player, and the individual carrying on business as Puck Arcade identified in the Operator & Contact details in section 10 (the “Operator”). Puck Arcade is a trading name, not a separate corporation under this agreement.

The Operator and persons actually engaged by the Operator to develop or operate this game, acting within that engagement, are the “Released Persons.” The Operator intends the applicable protections to benefit those persons and enters those provisions for their benefit as well as personally. This does not automatically release a headset manufacturer, a separate equipment seller, or any other unrelated person.

In exchange for your agreement, the Operator permits you to access the covered Puck Arcade activities, subject to the stated eligibility and safety requirements. This agreement supplements, but does not erase, the purchase terms and mandatory consumer rights that apply to your purchase. It concerns participation after your acceptance, not an accident that has already happened.

2. Adult eligibility and actual-player acceptance

I confirm that I am at least 19 years old, am a legal adult with capacity to make this agreement where I live and where I play, and can understand the agreement in the language presented. I am accepting for myself, not for an unidentified guest or a child.

This version does not authorize a minor to participate. A parent's acceptance, an adult's purchase, or access to an adult account does not authorize a child to use this adult-only version. Another adult must complete their own acceptance and safety checks before using the headset for this game.

3. The activity and its specific risks

The covered activity is controlled, floor-level stickhandling in supported modes, using my own real hockey stick and only the physical practice objects and attachments, if any, listed as supported at [SUPPORTED EQUIPMENT ADDRESS]. The game supplies cues and scoring that can influence movement. The Operator does not supervise my room or physically restrain my equipment.

I understand these specific risks:

- The blade, shaft or back end of my stick can strike me, a bystander or an animal. A child or pet may enter unexpectedly. Even a short movement can cause serious injury.
- A physical puck, ball or other permitted object can roll away, trip someone, ricochet or become a projectile. An attachment can loosen or detach. Unsupported equipment may create additional risks.
- I can collide with furniture, a wall, glass, stairs or other obstacles, or slip, fall, strain a joint, lose balance or become disoriented.
- Passthrough can have delay, distortion, blind spots or misleading depth. Displayed equipment or game objects may not align with physical objects. Tracking can be inaccurate, lost, stale or unavailable.
- Virtual boundaries and calibration are not a physical barrier. They do not necessarily account for my entire stick, other people, moved furniture or every hazard. A pause or warning may be late or may not occur.
- These events can cause property damage, serious bodily injury, permanent disability or death.

The fact that I supply the equipment does not determine anyone's legal fault. I understand that I must use reasonable care and that game feedback cannot guarantee a safe movement.

4. Required conduct and safety checks

Before setup and every play session, I will put my stick and any practice object at rest, inspect the real room, using passthrough to look around where the view is clear and complete, and establish enough clear space for my body, the full stick and any permitted object throughout the intended movements. If the view is unclear, incomplete or obstructed, I will lift or remove the headset to inspect the affected area before proceeding. Passthrough does not prove clearance. I will check the floor, ceiling clearance where relevant, and access by other people or pets. If I cannot maintain the required clear area, I will not play.

I will tell anyone nearby that I am using a real hockey stick while wearing a headset and ask them to stay outside the full area my body and entire stick can reach. Telling someone does not make it safe if they remain within reach.

I will use only supported, undamaged equipment and follow the current setup and safety instructions. I will keep children, spectators, other players and pets out of the full movement area. I will not use this version for same-room multiplayer, physical shooting, slapshots, elevated stick swings or pucks, running, or rapid backward movement. I will not chase an escaped object while wearing the headset. A virtual shot or target is not permission to make a real shot.

I will not disable available required safety controls or enlarge the virtual playing area beyond the checked physical space. I will not treat an old calibration as confirmation that the room is unchanged. I will stop when unsteady, impaired, unusually fatigued or otherwise unable to control my movement, and follow the headset manufacturer's safety instructions.

If someone approaches, an object escapes, the view or tracking appears unreliable, or any hazard develops, I will stop moving the stick and stop play. Once stationary, I will inspect the real environment and lift or remove the headset if the view is unclear, incomplete or obstructed. I will resume only after the hazard is addressed and the game permits a deliberate restart. I will not follow a game instruction that would require a movement I can recognize as unsafe.

The software cannot physically stop a stick already in motion. These responsibilities supplement, and do not replace, the Operator's own legal responsibilities.

5. Voluntary acceptance of physical risks

I understand the risks described above and voluntarily choose to participate. I accept the ordinary physical risks of the activity and the possibility that the described failures and hazards can occur despite precautions.

Accepting physical risk is separate from releasing a legal claim. Section 6 identifies the claims I agree to release. I am not being asked to accept all blame for every accident or to waive another person's independent rights.

6. EXPRESS RELEASE, INCLUDING THE OPERATOR'S ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE

To the extent applicable law permits, I release the Released Persons, including the Operator personally, from my own claims for bodily injury, death or property damage arising from my participation in the covered activities after I accept this agreement, INCLUDING CLAIMS CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO BY A RELEASED PERSON'S ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE.

Ordinary negligence means a failure to use reasonable care. This release expressly includes an alleged ordinary-negligent act or omission in designing, programming, testing, maintaining or operating the game; providing instructions or warnings; or implementing calibration, tracking-related feedback, virtual play areas and pause features, where that act or omission causes or contributes to the described harm. It is not limited to accidents caused by my own mistakes. Its application depends on the law and the actual facts.

This release does not cover gross negligence, reckless or intentional misconduct, fraud, or any liability that applicable law does not permit to be released. It does not remove mandatory consumer remedies, statutory product rights or any other non-waivable right. It does not bind an injured bystander or release another person's independent claim. It applies to a claim pursued through my estate or representatives only to the extent that lawfully derives from a claim I could release myself.

7. Harm I cause to others and limited indemnity

I may be personally liable when my negligent, reckless, intentional or unlawful conduct causes injury or property damage. My acceptance does not decide fault in advance, make me solely responsible for every accident, or prevent another person from claiming against anyone legally responsible.

To the extent permitted by law, I agree to reimburse a Released Person for damages and reasonable legal expenses arising from a third party's claim, but only in the proportion caused by my own negligent, reckless, intentional or unlawful conduct in the covered activity. This does not transfer the portion caused by a Released Person or another person to me.

The amount must be established by a court with jurisdiction or a reasonable settlement to which I have agreed in writing. I must be given reasonably prompt notice and a reasonable opportunity to participate before a settlement is made binding on me. This clause does not require me to advance defence costs merely because I am accused of wrongdoing. It does not impose a payment obligation for bringing my own claim, reporting an incident, posting a review or exercising a non-waivable right. It does not make me an insurer or waive the rights of a child or other non-party.

8. Declining, purchase rights and later versions

I may choose “Decline / leave” and exit without playing. I can still access this agreement, support and refund information.

If I purchased before seeing this agreement and decline before active gameplay, the Operator will arrange a full refund of the app purchase price, including applicable taxes, through the store or another lawful, store-permitted process. I may request this at support@puckarcade.com with proof of purchase. This promise adds to, and does not reduce, any refund or cancellation right under applicable law or the disclosed purchase terms.

If a later agreement materially expands what I release or owe, fresh express acceptance is required before it applies to later participation. If I decline that expansion and continuing access is withdrawn for that reason, the Operator will arrange a full refund of the app purchase on the same basis. No later version changes rights relating to an earlier event retrospectively. A successor operator must be clearly identified and obtain a new applicable agreement; a trading-name change does not silently substitute a legal party.

9. Records and privacy

The Operator records evidence of my acceptance, including a random player reference, my express adult/capacity and region-eligibility declaration, agreement and screen versions, choices, and acceptance time. The Operator does not collect my name for this acceptance. My player reference and declarations are not a guarantee of verified identity.

The purposes, security, retention, access and contact arrangements are described in the separate privacy notice at [PRIVACY NOTICE ADDRESS]. Optional advertising or analytics consent is not a condition of this release. This agreement does not authorize recording my room, audio or biometric information as proof of acceptance. I can obtain a retained copy of the agreement I accepted and the associated receipt.

10. Applicable law, remaining rights and Operator & Contact details

British Columbia law governs this agreement only insofar as that choice is permitted by applicable law. Nothing requires me to give up protections or access to courts that mandatory law provides where I live or play. BC courts may hear a dispute where they have jurisdiction, but this is not an exclusive-forum requirement that removes other legally available forums.

This agreement does not require advance arbitration or another mandatory dispute-resolution process, prohibit class proceedings, restrict reviews, or shorten statutory time limits. Contacting support is encouraged, not a mandatory condition of exercising legal rights. If a provision is invalid, other provisions continue only where legally and practically separable; no severability wording revives a prohibited term.

11. My express acceptance

By choosing “I AM ELIGIBLE • AGREE & CONTINUE”, I confirm that I am the actual player, at least 19 and a legal adult with capacity where I live and play, that I meet the displayed region rules, and that I understand the real-stick risks and accept this agreement, its safety rules, the ordinary-negligence release in section 6 and the limited, proportionate indemnity in section 7. Other people keep their independent rights.

I have a reasonable opportunity to open and review the full agreement, obtain a copy, seek advice or decline. I choose to accept for myself through this express action. My acceptance does not state that a quiz was completed or that my name or identity was verified.

Player reference: generated by the app; no player name collected.

[I AM ELIGIBLE • AGREE & CONTINUE] [Decline / leave]

Before a session starts, choosing “AREA CLEAR • START” confirms that I am the same player who accepted, inspected the real room and supported equipment, told anyone nearby, and can maintain the full clear movement area. A different player must accept separately.

Declining or failing eligibility means no active gameplay.
