In consideration of my application for entry into the 2019 Tradies Sutherland 2 Surf being accepted, I accept these terms and conditions of participation.

The Event includes not only the event, but all other activities relating to the 2019 Tradies Sutherland 2 Surf, whether occurring before, during or after, and whether organised by Wanda SLSC or any other person.

I acknowledge that if I am under the age of 18 (Youth Participant), this registration is provisional until these Terms and Conditions are accepted by my parent or guardian on the registration website or a signed copy is received by Wanda SLSC.

By signing below or accepting these terms and conditions on the registration website, the parent or guardian of the Youth Participant agrees to these Terms and Conditions on their own behalf and on behalf of the Youth Participant and all references to ‘I’ and ‘me’ in these Terms and Conditions refer to both the Youth Participant and their parent or guardian.

Risk Notice and Voluntary Assumption of Risk
The Event is an event that involves physical exertion and as such has certain inherent risks associated with it. Some of those risks are injury due to slippery or uneven surfaces, obstacles, trip hazards, overcrowding, collision with objects or people and the effects of heat, cold, dehydration and exhaustion.

In rainy, windy or other inclement weather conditions, tents, marquees or other structures may collapse or become unsecured from the ground, potentially resulting in injury. Further risks may be associated with parts of the Event that may occur at night.

Injuries may include injuries from falls such as broken bones, sprained muscles, injuries to ligaments, cartilage or other soft tissue, as well as blisters, cuts and abrasions. Injuries may also arise from exertion, including heart attack, fainting and loss of consciousness.

I understand that the risks of participation in the Event are increased if I choose to participate in costume, in novelty shoes, using props, or if my walking or running movement is restricted.

I accept these increased risks if I choose to participate in the Event in this manner.

I acknowledge that the above is not an exhaustive list of all risks inherent in my participation in the Event.

I further acknowledge that there may be risks that are not known or reasonably foreseeable at this time.

I understand that Wanda SLSC recommends that I consult a doctor before participating in the Event, particularly if I have ever experienced a heart condition, stroke, unexplained chest pains, faintness, dizziness, shortness of breath, severe asthma, diabetes, muscle, joint or bone problems or any other medical conditions that may make it dangerous for me to participate in the Event.

Regardless of whether I have consulted a doctor, I agree that by participating in the Event, I am aware of the risks involved and I voluntarily assume those risks (including any arising from the negligence of Wanda SLSC).

I warrant that I have no known medical conditions or disabilities that may be incompatible with my safe participation in the Event.

I warrant that I am in proper physical and mental condition to participate in the Event.

I understand that Wanda SLSC has not obtained personal accident insurance or any other insurance covering my participation in the Event and it is my responsibility to obtain any and all insurance which is appropriate for that purpose.

I acknowledge that during the Event both my person and my property shall be at my own risk.

Exclusion of liability and indemnity
I fully and irrevocably exclude and release Wanda SLSC and all Event sponsors, as well as their directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents and representatives, from all liability for any loss, damage, cost or expense (whether in negligence, contract, under statute or otherwise) suffered by me as a consequence of my involvement in the Event, including in relation to death and personal injury.

I understand and agree that to the maximum extent permitted by law:

1. all conditions, warranties, guarantees, rights, remedies, liabilities or other terms implied or conferred by statute, custom, or the general law that impose any liability or obligation on Wanda SLSC or Event sponsors (or their directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents and representatives) are excluded (including consumer guarantees to the extent such exclusions are permitted under the law);
2. neither Wanda SLSC nor any Event sponsor (nor any of their directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents and representatives) will be liable to me or any other person in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise for any loss, damage, cost or expense of any kind (including direct, indirect or consequential losses, damages, costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by me or any other person in connection with the Event; and in any circumstances where the above exclusions (or any of them) are held by a Court to be ineffective or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, Wanda SLSC’s liability to me and to any other person is limited (at its option) to resupplying, repairing or replacing the service or the payment of the cost of supplying the service to me again.

I further agree that if any claim, including in relation to personal injury, property damage or wrongful death arising from my participation in the Event is commenced, I will indemnify and hold harmless Wanda SLSC and all the Event sponsors, as well as their directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents and representatives, from any and all loss, damage, cost or expense in connection with such claim.
