VIRTUAL REALITY: HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND DISCLAIMERS
If the Software provides for virtual reality gameplay and/or the use of third-party virtual reality headsets and/or related equipment, the following health and safety precautions and disclaimers apply.
Failing to review and adhere to the health and safety precautions set forth below and the precautions given by the manufacturer of your VR headset may cause damage to property, personal injury to you or others, or death.
As with all virtual reality games, please also carefully read and follow all health and safety precautions from your virtual reality headset manufacturer before use.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE PLAYING
Please note that certain people are susceptible to various symptoms and conditions when playing a game with virtual reality headsets, including:
• epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness;
• altered vision;
• motion sickness, dizziness, disorientation or nausea; and/or
• repetitive motion injuries and eye strain.
Immediately stop playing if you do not feel well or if you experience any of the above symptoms.
In any event, we strongly recommend that you take reasonable breaks from gameplay every 10 to 15 minutes and that you do not play for excessive overall periods.
If you are pregnant or if you have any pre-existing medical condition, you should talk with a physician to obtain professional advice before playing the game.
You should not play the game under the influence of alcohol or drugs or while using prescription or non-prescription medication.
Always be aware of your surroundings when playing the game. When playing with a virtual reality headset or other headset it is best to remain seated if that mode is supported. Since the game is an immersive reality experience, you may not be able to fully see or hear your surroundings while playing. Whether or not you remain seated during gameplay, give yourself plenty of room and make sure the play area is clear of objects and people that could be bumped into during gameplay. Ensure you are in a safe environment and not near stairs, balconies, windows, walls, furniture, objects that could cause tripping hazards or other objects or people that may pose a danger to you or them or could be damaged or cause injury during gameplay. Sound volume for the game should be kept at a low enough level so that you can be aware of your surroundings while playing, and to avoid any damage to your hearing.
YOU HEREBY RELEASE ZENIMAX, ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF A VIRTUAL REALITY HEADSET, RELATED EQUIPMENT, OR THE SOFTWARE.
In no event shall ZeniMax be liable for any damage to property, injury, or death (or for direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, or consequential damages) arising out of the use or misuse of the Software or any virtual reality headset or related equipment, including, without limitation, arising out of or connected with interactions between you and other people or objects in or around the play area during gameplay. You understand that misuse of the Software includes (without limitation) violations of any instructions or any warnings set forth on the packaging, documentation, and screen shots for your virtual reality headset, in this document, in other documentation accompanying the Software or the packaging for the Software. Failure to carefully read and follow those instructions and warnings could lead to property damage, injury or death. You expressly assume and accept any and all risks inherent in (or that may be associated with) the use of the Software, and/or of the virtual reality headsets or related equipment. Some, but not all, of those risks are discussed in the warnings set forth above or the warnings accompanying the Software and the virtual reality headset.

VIRTUAL REALITY: HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND DISCLAIMERS
If the Software provides for virtual reality gameplay and/or the use of third-party virtual reality headsets and/or related equipment, the following health and safety precautions and disclaimers apply.
Failing to review and adhere to the health and safety precautions set forth below and the precautions given by the manufacturer of your VR headset may cause damage to property, personal injury to you or others, or death.
As with all virtual reality games, please also carefully read and follow all health and safety precautions from your virtual reality headset manufacturer before use.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE PLAYING
Please note that certain people are susceptible to various symptoms and conditions when playing a game with virtual reality headsets, including:
• epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness;
• altered vision;
• motion sickness, dizziness, disorientation or nausea; and/or
• repetitive motion injuries and eye strain.
Immediately stop playing if you do not feel well or if you experience any of the above symptoms.
In any event, we strongly recommend that you take reasonable breaks from gameplay every 10 to 15 minutes and that you do not play for excessive overall periods.
If you are pregnant or if you have any pre-existing medical condition, you should talk with a physician to obtain professional advice before playing the game.
You should not play the game under the influence of alcohol or drugs or while using prescription or non-prescription medication.
Always be aware of your surroundings when playing the game. When playing with a virtual reality headset or other headset it is best to remain seated if that mode is supported. Since the game is an immersive reality experience, you may not be able to fully see or hear your surroundings while playing. Whether or not you remain seated during gameplay, give yourself plenty of room and make sure the play area is clear of objects and people that could be bumped into during gameplay. Ensure you are in a safe environment and not near stairs, balconies, windows, walls, furniture, objects that could cause tripping hazards or other objects or people that may pose a danger to you or them or could be damaged or cause injury during gameplay. Sound volume for the game should be kept at a low enough level so that you can be aware of your surroundings while playing, and to avoid any damage to your hearing.
