Motorsport Activities are inherently dangerous recreational activities and there is significant risk of injury, disability or death If you do not wish to be exposed to such risks, then you should not participate in the Motorsport Activities.
I acknowledge that the risks associated with attending or participating in Motorsport Activities include but are not limited to the risk that I may suffer harm as a result of:
● motor vehicles (or parts of them) colliding with other motor vehicles or persons or property;
● other participants acting dangerously or with lack of skills;
● high levels of noise exposure;
● acts of violence and other harmful acts (whether intentional or inadvertent) committed by persons attending or participating in the event; and
● the failure or unsuitability of facilities (including grand-stands, fences and guard rails) to ensure my safety.
Exclusion of Liability, Release and Indemnity
In exchange for being able to attend or participate in the Motorsport Activities, I agree:
● to release Motorsport Australia and the Entities to the extent that any or all of them are providing Recreational Services from all liability for:
● my death;
● any physical or mental injury (including the aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of such an injury);
● the contraction, aggravation or acceleration of a disease;
● the coming into existence, the aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of any other condition, circumstance, occurrence, activity, form of behaviour, course of conduct or state of affairs:
● that is or may be harmful or disadvantageous to me or the community; or
● that may result in harm or disadvantage to me or the community,
howsoever arising from my participation in or attendance at the Motorsport Activities;
● to indemnify and hold harmless and keep indemnified Motorsport Australia and the Entities to the maximum extent permitted by law in respect of any Claim by any person; and
● to attend at or participate in the Motorsport Activities at my own risk.
I understand that:
● nothing in this document excludes, restricts or modifies any rights that I may have as a result of significant personal injury that is caused by the
Reckless Conduct of Motorsport Australia and the Entities as the supplier of the Motorsport Activities and Recreational Services;
● nothing in this document prevents Motorsport Australia and the Entities from relying on any laws (including statute and common law) that limit or preclude their liability;
● nothing in this document excludes any term or guarantee which under statute cannot be excluded, however the liability
of Motorsport Australia and the Entities is limited to the minimum liability allowable by law;
● nothing in this document precludes me from making a claim under a Motorsport Australia insurance policy where I am expressly entitled to make a claim under that insurance policy; and
● Motorsport Australia has arranged for limited personal injury insurance coverage which may provide me with some protection for loss, damage or injury that I may
suffer during my participation in the Motorsport Activities. I acknowledge and accept that the insurance taken out by Motorsport Australia may not provide me
with full indemnity for loss, damage or injury that I may suffer during my participation in the Motorsport Activities, and that I may have to pay the excess if a Claim
is made under an insurance policy on my behalf. I agree that my own insurance arrangements are ultimately my responsibility and I will arrange any additional
coverage at my expense after taking into account Motorsport Australia’s insurance arrangements, this document and my own circumstances.
Where Motorsport Activities are held in the following jurisdictions, I acknowledge that I have also read and accept the following warnings:
Under the Australian Government Consumer Law (which is part of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Commonwealth)), several guarantees are implied
into contracts for the supply of certain goods and services. You agree that the application of all or any of the provisions of Subdivision B of Division 1 of Part
3-2 of the Australian Consumer Law (i.e. guarantees relating to the supply of services), the exercise of rights conferred by those provisions, and an liability of
Motorsport Australia and the Entities for a failure to comply with any such guarantees, are excluded. However, such exclusion is limited to liability for:
● Death, physical or mental injury (including aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of such an injury of the individual);
● Contraction, aggravation or acceleration of a disease of an individual; or
● The coming into existence, the aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of any other condition, circumstance, occurrence, activity, form of behaviour, course of conduct or state of affairs in
relation to an individual that is or may be harmful or disadvantageous to the individual or the community or that may result in harm or disadvantage to the individual or the community.
This exclusion does not apply to significant personal injury suffered by the reckless conduct of Motorsport Australia and the Entities.
Excluding, Restricting or Modifying Your Rights:
Under section 42 of the Fair Trading Act 1987 (SA), the supplier of recreational services is entitled to ask you to agree to exclude, restrict or modify his or her liability for any
personal injury suffered by you or another person for whom or on whose behalf you are acquiring the services (a third party consumer). If you sign this form, you will be agreeing
to exclude, restrict or modify the supplier’s liability with the result that compensation may not be payable if you or the third party consumer suffer personal injury.
Important:
You do not have to agree to exclude, restrict or modify your rights by signing this form. The supplier may refuse to provide you with the services if you do not agree to exclude, restrict or
modify your rights by signing this form. Even if you sign this form, you may still have further legal rights against the supplier. A child under the age of 18 cannot legally agree to exclude,
restrict or modify his or her rights. A parent or guardian of a child who acquires recreational services for the child cannot legally agree to exclude, restrict or modify the child’s rights.
Agreement to exclude, restrict or modify your rights:
I agree that the liability of Motorsport Australia and the Entities for any personal injury that may result from the supply of the recreational
services that may be suffered by me (or a person for whom or on whose behalf I am acquiring the services) is excluded.
