WARNING UNDER THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW AND FAIR TRADING ACT 1987 (NSW)

Under the Australian Consumer Law (NSW), several statutory guarantees apply to the supply of certain goods and services. These guarantees mean that the supplier named on this form is required to ensure that the recreational services it suppliers to you:

  • Are rendered with due care and skill; and

  • Are reasonably fit for any purpose which you, either expressly or by implication, make known to the supplier; and

  • Might reasonably be expected to achieve any result you have made known to the supplier.

Under the Australian Consumer law and Fair Trading Act 1987 (NSW), the supplier is entitled to ask you to agree that these statutory guarantees do not apply to you. If you sign this form, you will be agreeing that your rights to sue the supplier under the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012 if you are killed or injured because the services provided were not in accordance with these guarantees, are excluded, restricted or modified in the way set out in this form.

NOTE: The change to your rights, as set out in this form, does not apply if your death or injury is due to gross negligence on the supplier’s part.
