GENERAL RELEASE
I acknowledge and agree that this Agreement covers and is intended to release and provide other benefits, legal protections, and consideration to Entertainment One Stop Shop LLC DBA Platinum City Gaming, and their respective and collective agents, owners, officers, managers, shareholders, affiliates, volunteers, participants, employees, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their respective or collective behalf.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF POTENTIAL INJURIES
I acknowledge and agree that the use of all equipment at the Entertainment One Stop Shop LLC DBA Platinum City Gaming Facility involves recreational sport activities, and that participating in playground, arena and other activities is inherently and obviously dangerous. I understand there is a risk that I or the Child will be injured. I acknowledge that the risks of injury include serious physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, damage to myself, and/or third parties, and damage to personal property of any or all such persons. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity, which I further agree is for recreational purposes and completely voluntary. I acknowledge and agree that, while the playground, and other activities that take place at the NJ Battle Zones Facility are monitored generally by Entertainment One Stop Shop LLC DBA Platinum City Gaming Facility employees, it is not feasible for such employees to monitor the activities and actions of all customers at all times or all customers simultaneously. Furthermore, Entertainment One Stop Shop LLC DBA Platinum City Gaming Facility employees have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant’s health or abilities. They may give incomplete warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might malfunction.
SPECIFIC RELEASE FOR “GLOW” ACTIVITIES
I acknowledge that the Entertainment One Stop Shop LLC DBA Platinum City Gaming Facility may at any time engage in a promotion referred to as “Glow”, and other similar programs and activities, that involve the use of reduced and altered or theatrical lighting and special effects, which can increase the inherent and obvious dangers of the activity and can lead to physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, the Child, and/or third parties, and damage to personal property of any or all such persons. I understand that special rules apply to “Glow” activities, and the other programs and activities that involve the use of reduced and altered or theatrical lighting and special effects, and that I and the Child may choose not to participate in such activities. I acknowledge and agree that I may participate voluntarily in the “Glow” and other similar programs and activities solely and exclusively at my own risk, and that by participating, I waive the right to seek damages for any injuries that occur.
VOLUNTARY ASSUMPTION OF RISK ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I acknowledge and agree that I and the Child are participating voluntarily at our own risk. I acknowledge and agree that the actions or activities of other customers or the actions or inactions of Entertainment One Stop Shop LLC DBA Platinum City Gaming Facility employees could cause me or the Child significant bodily injury (as described in this Agreement), I acknowledge and agree Entertainment One Stop Shop LLC DBA Platinum City Gaming is not responsible for the actions or activities of customers using theEntertainment One Stop Shop LLC DBA Platinum City Gaming Facility or the negligence of its employees in supervising the Entertainment One Stop Shop LLC DBA Platinum City Gaming Facility or its usage, including actions, activities, or omissions that result in such harm.

As noted in paragraph a) above, such injuries can lead to paralysis, disfigurement or death. Participation may result in heat stroke, heart attacks, dehydration and other exertion-related medical events.

I acknowledge that my use of the playground, arena and participation in other activities at the Entertainment One Stop Shop LLC DBA Platinum City Gaming Facility is purely voluntary, that there is a risk of serious injury when using the playground, trampolines and other equipment, and that I elect to participate in spite of such risks.
AGREEMENT TO PAY MY OWN MEDICAL EXPENSES
I acknowledge, accept, and assume the risk of any and all medical conditions, limitations, or disabilities (whether temporary or permanent) that I possess, whether known or unknown, which might contribute to or exacerbate any injury I might sustain as a result of using the Entertainment One Stop Shop LLC DBA Platinum City GamingFacility or any of its equipment.
