Attachment 1 – Applicable to Victorian Gyms Only
WARNING UNDER THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW AND FAIR TRADING ACT 2012 (VIC)
If You sign this form or enter into this Agreement, You will be agreeing that Your rights to sue the supplier under the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012 are excluded, restricted or modified in the way set out in this form, if You are killed or injured because the services provided were not in accordance with the statutory guarantees outlined below. 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 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 section 22 of the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012, the exclusion of these statutory guarantees is brought to Your attention by 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, 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 and section 22(3)(b) of the Australian Consumer Law and Fair
Trading Act 2012.
