Under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and 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, the Trainer, is required to ensure that the recreational services they supply to you are:
• rendered with due care and skill; and
• 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 139A of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, the supplier is entitled to ask you to agree that these statutory guarantees do not apply to you. By signing this form, you will be agreeing that your rights to sue the supplier under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 are excluded, restricted or modified in the way set out in this form, if you are killed or injured because the services were not rendered with due care and skill or they were not reasonably fit for their purpose.
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 section 139A of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 and regulation 6 of the Competition and Consumer Regulations 2010.
