ChaoticGame.com Special Warnings & Terms of Use

SPECIAL WARNING: PHOTOSENSITIVITY, EPILEPSY AND SEIZURES
A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on a television screen or when playing video games may trigger epileptic seizures or blackouts in these individuals. Even persons who have no prior history of a seizure or blackout may be susceptible.

If you, or anyone in your family, has an epileptic condition or has had a seizure of any kind, consult your physician before playing. IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE use and consult your physician before resuming game play if you or your child experiences any of the following health problems or symptoms:
  • dizziness
  • altered vision
  • eye or muscle twitches
  • loss of awareness
  • disorientation
  • seizures, or
  • any involuntary movement or convulsion.
RESUME PLAYING THE GAME ONLY ON APPROVAL OF YOUR PHYSICIAN

Following are general suggestions when playing videogames:
  • Use in a well-lit area and keep as far away as possible from the television screen.
  • Avoid large screen televisions. Use the smallest television screen available.
  • Avoid prolonged use of a videogame.
  • Take a 15-minute break during each hour of play.
  • Avoid playing when you are tired or need sleep.
  • Stop using the system immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms: lightheadedness,
    nausea, or a sensation similar to motion sickness; discomfort or pain in the eyes, ears, hands,
    arms, or any other part of the body. If the condition persists, consult a doctor.

Before connecting the game to (or otherwise accessing or playing the game on) any projection, plasma, LCD or other flat panel TV, consult the user manual for such TV to confirm that such connection, access or game play will not damage the TV. Failure to do so may result in permanent damage to your TV screen.
