WARNING – AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW AND OTHER LEGISLATION

Under the Australian Consumer Law, 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 supplies 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 in some states, other legislation, 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 other legislation 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. Gross negligence, in relation to an act or omission, means doing the act or omitting to do an act with reckless disregard, with or without consciousness, for the consequences of the act or omission.

If you do not understand this form, or do not agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, you should not sign it and thereafter should forthwith leave the Venue. APRA recommends that Member’s seek third party legal advice before signing this form.

By signing this agreement, the undersigned driver warrants that he or she is at least eighteen (18) years of age. Where this agreement is signed by a parent, guardian, or other person for and on behalf of the driver, the person so executing warrants that he or she has authority to do so and that such parent, guardian or other person agrees to indemnify APRA in terms of the indemnity herein.
