Exclusion of Liability
In this clause 6, “Supplier” means The Nest Climbing Gym Pty Ltd (ACN 681 776 054), and “this form” means this Waiver.
Under the Australian Consumer Law (Cth) (ACL), statutory guarantees apply to the supply of 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 (Cth), as the Activities are recreational services, 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 (Cth) 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 reckless conduct on the supplier's part. A person’s conduct is reckless if the person is aware, or should have reasonably been so, that there was a significant risk that their conduct could result in personal injury and, despite this, engages in the conduct without adequate justification.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for, and you waive and release us from and against any loss or liability arising from or in connection with any personal injury or death caused or contributed to by the Participant’s participation in the Activities, except where caused by our reckless conduct.
