A list and description of risks associated with the use of VR is available at Resources to Help You Understand Health and Safety Risks Associated with the Use of VR.

Please stop use of the VR equipment if you feel any discomfort whatsoever.

2) I assume all of the physical, psychological, and financial risks associated with use of VR equipment;
3) By signing, I acknowledge that I have read and understood all of the terms of this release form and that I
am voluntarily giving up substantial legal rights, including the right to sue the White Plains Public Library or
its employees;
4) [If the headset is being used by child/dependent/minor] I am the parent or legal guardian of the minor
named below. I have the legal right to consent to and, by signing below, I hereby do consent to the terms and
conditions of this Release of Liability.
