5. WARNING UNDER THE FAIR TRADING ACT 1999
   Under the provisions of the Fair Trading Act 1999 several conditions are implied into contracts for the supply of certain goods and services.
   These conditions 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
• as fit for the purpose for which they are commonly bought as it is reasonable to expect in the circumstances; and
• reasonably fit for any particular purpose or might reasonably be expected to achieve any result you have made known to the supplier.

Under section 32N of the Fair Trading Act 1999, the supplier is entitled to ask you to agree that these conditions do not apply to you. If you sign this form, you will be agreeing that your rights to sue the supplier under the Fair Trading Act 1999 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, 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" is defined in the Fair Trading (Recreational Services) Regulations 2004. 

For the purposes of this clause 5, “the Supplier” shall mean and include the Club.

6. Exclusion of Implied Terms: I acknowledge that where I am a consumer of recreational services, as defined by any relevant law, certain terms and rights usually implied into a contract for the supply of goods or services may be excluded. I acknowledge that these implied terms and rights and any liability of the Club flowing from them, are expressly excluded to the extent possible by law, by this Event application declaration.  To the extent of any liability arising, the liability of the Club will, at its discretion be limited to the resupply of the services or payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.
7. Release and Indemnity:  In consideration of the Club accepting my application for entry to the Event I, to the full extent permitted by law:

1. release and will release the Club from all Claims that I may have or may have had but for this release arising from or in connection with my participation in the Event; and
2. indemnify and will keep indemnified the Club in respect of any Claim by any person including but not only another participant in the Event arising as a result of or in connection with my participation in the Event.

8. Fitness to Participate: I declare that I am and must continue to be medically and physically fit and able to participate in the Event. I will immediately notify the Club in writing of any change to my fitness and ability to participate. I understand and accept that the Club will continue to rely upon this declaration as evidence of my fitness and ability to participate.
9. Consent to medical treatment:  If required, the Club will arrange medical or hospital treatment (including ambulance transportation) for me. 
   I authorise such actions being taken by the Club where my further consent cannot be obtained and agree to meet all costs associated with such action.
10. Privacy: I understand that the information I have provided is necessary for the conduct of the Event and for the Objects of the Club.

11. Copyright and right to use image: I acknowledge and consent to photographs being taken of me during my participation in the Event and authorise the Club to use such photographs for promotional or other purposes without my further consent being obtained.  Further, I consent to the Club using my name, image, likeness and also my performance in the Event, at any time, to promote the Event or Club activities by any form of media.
12. Severance: If any provision of this declaration is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the phrase or clause is to be read down for the purpose of that jurisdiction, if possible, so as to be valid and enforceable.  If the phrase or clause cannot be so read down it will be severed to the extent of the invalidity or unenforceability.  Such severance does not affect the remaining provisions of this membership declaration or affect the validity or enforceability of it in any other jurisdiction.
13. I warrant that my boat complies with the safety prescriptions of Australian Sailing and that it my responsibility to ensure all equipment required under these prescriptions and my declared safety category are operational at all times.
14. Cancellation: I agree that if I cancel or withdraw from the event less than 7 days before the commencement I will forfeit, 30% of the entry fee, less than 24 hours prior 60% and not attending 100% of the entry fee.
