WARNING UNDER THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW

If you sign this waiver and release form, you will be agreeing that your rights to sue us under the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012 if the Participant is 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 the Participant’s death or injury is due to gross negligence on Tennis Victoria’s part.
