    Under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) and the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012 (Tas), statutory guarantees apply to recreational services, including guarantees that services:

    - 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 139A of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and section 22 of the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012 (Tas), a supplier of recreational services is entitled to ask you to agree that these statutory guarantees do not apply to you in respect of liability for death or personal injury.

    If you sign this document, you agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, your rights to sue CYC for death or personal injury arising from the supply of recreational services are excluded, restricted or modified as set out below.

    This exclusion does not apply to liability arising from gross negligence as defined in the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Regulations 2012 (Tas).
