Hosts

Hosts are characters in Westworld portrayed by synthetic, humanlike creations. Hosts are lifelike machines built by Delos' creative team to act out story lines by interacting with each other and with guests.

Guests are allowed to use a host in any way they choose, up to and including actions that would kill a human and which appear to kill or dismember the host.

Hosts are designed to be incapable of hurting any living thing. Any violent action performed by a host is strictly simulated. If a guest is in actual danger, a host is designed to engage in Delos' patented Good Samaritan™ reflex behavioral routine. In such circumstances, the host will expend a reasonable effort to protect the guest. The host will try to remain in-character while doing so. However, guest safety is of the utmost importance to Delos, so it is possible that a host may act out of character when the Good Samaritan™ reflex is activated.

Please note that despite Delos' best efforts to develop such mechanisms to protect the safety of valued guests, Delos claims no liability by reason of any delay or failure to perform if the delay or failure to perform is occasioned by circumstance beyond Delos' control. This includes host malfunction, or the unforeseen malfunction of any Delos system(s) used in creating and supporting the Westworld experience.

Hosts comprise a ll human and animal life native to Westworld with the sole exception of flies.
