WARNING UNDER THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW AND FAIR TRADING ACT 2012
Under the Australian Consumer Law (Victoria), 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 section 22 of the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012, 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. 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. See regulation 5 of the Australian Consumer Law and Fair
Trading Regulations 2012 and section 22(3)(b) of the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012.
