Attendee assumption of risk, release of liability & waiver

WARNING: BY ACCEPTING THIS DOCUMENT, YOU MAY BE GIVING UP IMPORTANT LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE SOCLUB GROUP INC. AND THE PROTECTED PERSONS DEFINED BELOW FOR CERTAIN INJURIES, LOSSES AND DAMAGES, INCLUDING THOSE CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THEIR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY ONTARIO LAW. THIS IS A LEGAL RELEASE AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK, NOT MERELY AN EVENT INFORMATION NOTICE.

You may decline to accept; you will not be admitted to the Event without valid acceptance, subject to applicable law and rights concerning ticket refunds and prior sales. Read this document before purchasing and again before entering if requested.

I, the attendee making affirmative electronic acceptance ("Participant" or "I"), am at least 19 years of age and voluntarily request entry to CONNECT WITH FUTURE, scheduled November 26, 2026, Toronto, Ontario, promoted and organized by SOCLUB GROUP INC. ("SOCLUB"). The venue is publicly described as Future Nightclub / Future Social; its final verified address will appear on my ticket/registration confirmation. This Waiver covers the Event, authorized demonstrations and related ingress, egress and event activities occurring at the Event venue, during preparation areas I am authorized to access, and lawful follow-on dissemination of Event recordings as specifically described. It does not purport to release unrelated events or conduct.

I recognize that the Event may feature operating humanoid robots, quadruped robots, moving mechanisms and battery-powered equipment; holographic/projection devices, suspended or mounted technology, electrical cables and tripping hazards; interactive technical exhibits; staging and fashion shows; special effects including lasers, fog, lights, strobe-like effects and loud music; dense crowds, queues, stairs and uneven or wet surfaces; food and beverages; alcoholic drinks served by a licensed operator; conduct of other attendees; and emergencies, theft, property damage or disruption. Potential outcomes include collision, cuts, bruises, falls, burns, crush/pinch injuries, allergic or food-borne illness, anxiety or sensory reactions, intoxication-related harm, serious personal injury, permanent disability and death. Some risks may be unforeseen or arise from equipment malfunction, human error or ordinary negligence.

I understand that no demonstration, operation, premises or service is absolutely risk-free. I will follow safety directions and not cross barriers, handle robots without operator permission, interfere with controls or electronics, or touch mounted/rigged equipment.

I knowingly and voluntarily accept the inherent and reasonably foreseeable risks of attending and participating in the Event and its optional experiences. I may decline an interaction and may withdraw from an activity if I feel unsafe. I am responsible for exercising reasonable care for my own safety, using suitable judgment and informing an operator of any immediate hazard. This assumption does not excuse reckless disregard, deliberate harm or any non-excludable legal duty.

I understand SOCLUB is the Event promoter and coordinator and uses independently operated service providers. The licensed venue operator ordinarily controls its premises, bar, venue employees, designated security and venue-operated fog/laser/AV systems; the robotics supplier operates its robots and its staff; the food caterer handles food under its service contract; other vendors operate their own specialized equipment and performances. SOCLUB does not itself operate or manufacture the robots, license or serve alcohol, or prepare food merely by promoting the Event. These statements describe operational roles, not a guarantee of the vendors' conduct and not a conclusive legal finding about fault. They do not prevent claims against a party legally responsible for injury.

I understand the legal drinking age in Ontario is 19, alcohol is served or sold by the licensed operator, and alcohol impairs judgment and driving. I agree not to drive impaired, to arrange safe transport, and to obey all responsible-service decisions. I am responsible for my own decision to consume alcohol, subject to legally imposed duties of licensed service providers and others. This Waiver does not excuse any provider's unlawful service or SOCLUB's own non-waivable legal duties.

I understand that independent caterers or food vendors may supply food, which can involve allergies, ingredient cross-contact and food-borne illness. I will inquire about ingredients and communicate allergies or dietary needs before consuming food; no food is guaranteed allergen-free unless specifically confirmed by the responsible food provider. I acknowledge that vendors may be legally responsible for their own negligent or unlawful food handling. This document does not automatically shift all legal liability for food-related harm away from SOCLUB regardless of its own conduct or duties.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, I RELEASE, WAIVE AND DISCHARGE SOCLUB GROUP INC., ITS RELATED COMPANIES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AUTHORIZED HOSTS, VOLUNTEERS AND AGENTS ACTING WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THEIR EVENT RESPONSIBILITIES (COLLECTIVELY, "RELEASED SOCLUB PERSONS") FROM CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LOSSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING FROM MY ATTENDANCE AT OR VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION IN THE EVENT, INCLUDING PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH OR PERSONAL PROPERTY DAMAGE, TO THE EXTENT SUCH CLAIMS MAY LAWFULLY BE RELEASED, EVEN WHERE CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO BY THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF A RELEASABLE DUTY OF CARE, OR RELEASABLE OCCUPIERS' LIABILITY OF A RELEASED SOCLUB PERSON.

THIS RELEASE IS INTENDED TO APPLY TO INHERENT EVENT RISKS, ORDINARY PREMISES RISKS, ROBOTIC DEMONSTRATION RISKS, CATERING/FOOD RISKS, CROWD AND ENTERTAINMENT RISKS AND OTHER RISKS DESCRIBED ABOVE, BUT ONLY TO THE LAWFUL EXTENT THAT SUCH CLAIMS AGAINST RELEASED SOCLUB PERSONS CAN BE RELEASED. IT DOES NOT RELEASE CLAIMS FOR DELIBERATE HARM, RECKLESS DISREGARD WHERE RELEASE IS PROHIBITED, FRAUD OR OTHER LIABILITY THAT LAW DOES NOT PERMIT TO BE EXCLUDED; NOR DOES IT BAR CLAIMS AGAINST NON-RELEASED SERVICE PROVIDERS.

I acknowledge that this clause may prevent me from recovering damages from a Released SOCLUB Person for an injury for which I otherwise might have made a claim.

Subject to non-waivable legal rights, I agree not to commence or maintain proceedings against Released SOCLUB Persons for a claim validly released in Section H. This covenant does not restrict emergency reports, police or regulator complaints, protected disclosures, legally protected consumer rights or claims that applicable law prohibits releasing. The Release does not bind independent persons who have not legally accepted it or extinguish rights of third parties that cannot be waived by me.

I am responsible for protecting my personal belongings and understand SOCLUB has not agreed to be my custodian or insurer. I consent to appropriate emergency responders being contacted if necessary, and understand emergency assistance may involve disclosure of limited necessary information as permitted by law. I must promptly notify on-site staff of dangerous conditions and serious incidents; delayed notice does not automatically extinguish legal rights.

I understand photography and video recording may take place and that incidental Event coverage may be shared under the Event Terms and Privacy Policy, subject to applicable law. This liability Waiver does not compel consent to optional commercial marketing emails, permit use of my image in misleading endorsements, or waive statutory privacy rights.

I confirm that I have had a reasonable opportunity to read this document, can access a copy before acceptance, understand that it affects important legal rights, and accept it voluntarily. I understand SOCLUB's vendor agreements, vendor insurance, and venue arrangements do not guarantee that another party will pay my loss. I acknowledge that actual responsibility is determined by conduct, law and applicable evidence; no sentence in this Waiver may be interpreted as declaring SOCLUB categorically immune from all claims.

Ontario law and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Ontario govern this Waiver. Subject to non-waivable jurisdiction and consumer rights, claims relating to this Waiver shall be brought in courts of competent jurisdiction in Toronto, Ontario. SEVERABILITY: If a term, phrase or application is held invalid or unenforceable, it shall be severed or narrowed only to the extent law permits and the remainder shall remain enforceable to the fullest lawful extent. No severability or interpretive clause overrides mandatory rights.

The warning in Section A is displayed in bold, with a conspicuous link to this full Waiver, before the purchaser accepts it at checkout by selecting an unchecked checkbox. SOCLUB stores the Waiver version, the acceptance time, the order identifier, the checkbox state and the attendees named on the order. No pre-checked box, buried hyperlink or inference from mere website use replaces express assent. A copy is available through the link in every ticket email.

Where a purchaser buys tickets for other attendees, the purchaser's express acceptance is given on their own behalf and on behalf of each named attendee on the order, as set out in the Event Terms & Conditions (Purchases for other attendees). The purchaser confirms they are authorized to accept this Waiver for each attendee, will share it with each attendee before the Event, and accepts responsibility and liability for their attendees' compliance with it. Each attendee receives their own ticket by email with a link to this Waiver.
