(b)For recreational services to which the Australian Consumer Law (Queensland) applies: By accepting these terms and conditions, You acknowledge that where the Participant is 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. You acknowledge that these implied terms and rights and any liability of the Providers flowing from them, are expressly excluded to the extent possible by law, by these terms and conditions. To the extent of any liability arising, the liability of the Providers will, at the discretion of the Providers, be limited in the case of goods, to the replacement, repair or payment of the cost of replacing the goods and in the case of services, the resupply of the services or payment of the cost of having the services supplied again. For the avoidance of doubt, this exclusion does not exclude liability for recklessness as defined by any relevant law.
(c)For recreational services to which the Australian Consumer Law (Northern Territory) applies: By accepting these terms and conditions, You agree that the provisions of Part 3.2, Division 1, sub-division B of the Australian Consumer Law (NT) do not apply to the services provided to the Participant, and the Providers incur no liability with respect to death or personal injury for a failure to comply with a guarantee under that sub-division in relation to supply of these recreational services. By accepting these terms and conditions, You acknowledge that You have been made aware of the general effect of this exclusion, restriction or modification, have had a reasonable opportunity to consider whether or not to enter into this contract on that basis and have decided to enter into the contract.
(d)For recreational services to which the Australian Consumer Law (Australian Capital Territory) applies: By accepting these terms and conditions, You acknowledge that where the Participant is 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. You acknowledge that these implied terms and rights and any liability of the Providers flowing from them, are expressly excluded to the extent possible by law, by these terms and conditions. To the extent of any liability arising, the liability of the Providers will, at the discretion of the Providers, be limited in the case of goods, to the replacement, repair or payment of the cost of replacing the goods and in the case of services, the resupply of the services or payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.

is excluded and the application of any express or implied term or any guarantee under the Australian Consumer Law that any services will be provided with due care and skill is hereby excluded.
(f)For recreational services to which the Australian Consumer Law (Victoria) applies: Warning under the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012: Under the Australian Consumer Law (Victoria), several statutory guarantees apply to the supply of certain goods and services. These guarantees mean that the supplier named on these terms and conditions, the Providers, are required to ensure that the recreational services it supplies to the Participant:
(i)are rendered with due care and skill; and
(ii)are reasonably fit for any purpose which You either expressly or by implication, make known to the supplier; and
(iii)might reasonably be expected to achieve any result You have made known to the supplier.
Under section 22 of the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012 (Vic), the supplier is entitled to ask You to agree that these conditions do not apply to the Participant. If You accept these terms and conditions, You will be agreeing that Your or the Participant's rights to sue the supplier under the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012 if the Participant is killed or injured because the services were not in accordance with these guarantees, are excluded, restricted or modified in the way set out in these terms and conditions.
Note: The change to Your or the Participant's rights, as set out in these terms and conditions, does not apply if the Participant's 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 regulation 5 of the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Regulations 2012 (Vic) and section 22(3)(b) of the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012 (Vic).
Exclusion of rights under the Australian Consumer Law (Victoria): By accepting these terms and conditions, You agree that the liability of the Providers for any death or personal injury (as defined in the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012) that may be suffered by the Participant (or a person from whom or on whose behalf the Participant is acquiring the services) resulting from the supply of recreational services is excluded.
(g)For recreational services to which the Australian Consumer Law (Tasmania) applies: By accepting these terms and conditions, You acknowledge that where the Participant is 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. You acknowledge that these implied terms and rights and any liability of the Providers flowing from them, are expressly excluded to the extent possible by law, by these terms and conditions. To the extent of any liability arising, the liability of the Providers will, at the discretion of the Providers, be limited in the case of goods, to the replacement, repair or payment of the cost of replacing the goods and in the case of services, the resupply of the services or payment of the cost of having the services supplied again. For the avoidance of doubt, this exclusion does not exclude liability for recklessness as defined by any relevant law.
(h)For recreational services to which the Australian Consumer Law (South Australia) applies:
Your rights: Under sections 60 and 61 of the Australian Consumer Law (SA), if a person in trade or commerce supplies the Participant with services including recreational services1), there is:
(i)statutory guarantee that those services will be rendered with due care and skill; and
(ii)statutory guarantee that those services, and any product resulting from those services, will be reasonably fit for the purpose for which the services are being acquired (as long as that purpose is made known to the supplier); and
(iii)a statutory guarantee that those services, and any product resulting from those services, will be of such a nature, and quality, state or condition, that they might reasonably be expected to achieve the result that the consumer wishes to achieve (as long as that wish is made known to the supplier or a person with whom negotiations have been conducted in relation to the acquisition of the services).
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 accept these terms and conditions, 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 injury2.
Important: You do not have to agree to exclude, restrict or modify Your rights by accepting these terms and conditions. The supplier may refuse to provide You or the Participant with the services if You do not agree to exclude, restrict or modify Your rights by accepting these terms and conditions. Even if You accept these terms and conditions, 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: You agree that the liability of the Provider for any personal injury that may result from the supply of the recreational services that may be suffered by You (or a person for whom or on whose behalf You are acquiring the services) is excluded.

(B)any other activity that involves a significant degree of physical exertion or risk and is undertaken for the purposes of recreation, enjoyment or leisure.
