PADDOCK TORONTO — ADULT PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT, ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE

For participants aged 18 and over. Document version: PT-ADULT-2026-10-01-v1.0

IMPORTANT: PARTICIPATION INVOLVES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. YOU ACCEPT THE STATED RISKS AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS AND FORCE-SETTING CHOICES, SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT'S LEGAL LIMITS.

THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES A RELEASE OF CERTAIN LEGAL CLAIMS, INCLUDING CLAIMS ARISING FROM NEGLIGENCE. READ SECTION 4 CAREFULLY. ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE SIGNING.

1 Operator and covered session

This agreement is between me, the adult participant identified below, and Paddock Toronto (the Operator), at 105 Gordon Baker Rd, Unit 105, North York, ON M2H 3P8.

It applies only to my preparation for, participation in, and entry to or exit from the simulator area for the session or booking identified below (the Activity). It does not automatically cover later bookings, food or beverage purchases, or unrelated activities.

2 Risks of high force sim racing

I understand that a simulator is physical equipment, even though the race is virtual. Direct-drive steering and force-feedback pedals can exert strong, sudden or unexpected forces. Risks include:

• The steering wheel rapidly turning, kicking back or resisting movement, causing fingers, hands, wrists or arms to be struck, twisted, trapped or strained; injuries can include cuts, sprains, dislocations and fractures

• Forceful pedal movement, resistance and moving parts causing pinching, foot or leg strain, or other injury; loose hair, jewellery or clothing becoming caught in equipment

• Pain, fatigue, dizziness or nausea; loss of balance while getting into or out of a rig; and slips or trips around seats, platforms, cables, belongings or spills

• Unexpected movement or force from equipment, electronic or software faults, incorrect setup, or mistakes by me, other participants or staff

Some injuries may be serious or cause lasting impairment. I voluntarily accept the stated risks, subject to this agreement's legal limits. Increasing force can increase strain and injury risk. A lower setting does not remove all risk.

3 My responsibilities and safety obligations

During your orientation, staff will show you the stop button on the right side of your simulator and explain how to use it. Do not begin until you understand the stopping procedure.

I take responsibility for my own actions, for following the demonstrated instructions, and for my force-setting choices, subject to the legal limits in section 4. I understand that I can adjust the force. I will ask staff to explain the controls before starting, choose a manageable force level, follow staff instructions, and never bypass safety features or interfere with another rig. I will not try to stop a freely rotating wheel by grabbing it.

I will secure loose hair, clothing and jewellery, keep food and drinks away, and not participate while impaired. I will ask for needed assistance. If I feel pain, excessive force, dizziness or discomfort, or notice a fault, I will use the demonstrated stopping procedure and alert staff. I may stop at any time; staff may end unsafe participation.

4 Release of claims including negligence

In exchange for being permitted to take part in the Activity, and to the extent permitted by Ontario law, I release the Operator and its directors, officers and employees acting in connection with the Activity (the Released Parties) from claims that I may otherwise have for personal injury, illness, death, property damage or related loss arising from the Activity, INCLUDING CLAIMS CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF A RELEASED PARTY.

The release includes negligence in instructing or supervising participants, selecting force settings, setting up, inspecting or maintaining the simulators and the simulator area, and warning about Activity-related hazards. It includes duties under Ontario's Occupiers' Liability Act only to the extent those duties may lawfully be restricted or excluded.

This release does not cover gross negligence, reckless conduct, intentional wrongdoing, or any liability or statutory right that cannot lawfully be excluded. It does not release another person's independent rights or claims. It does not prevent a court or other competent body from deciding whether this agreement is valid or applicable.

5 Understanding and electronic agreement

Ontario law and applicable Canadian law govern this agreement, without removing any mandatory rights or remedies. If a provision is invalid, the remaining provisions apply only to the extent they can lawfully operate independently.

I am signing for myself. I have had a reasonable opportunity to read the entire agreement, ask questions and decide whether to participate. By deliberately typing or drawing my signature and selecting the acceptance control, I intend to sign this exact version electronically. A paper signing option may be requested from staff.
