SLIDE MELBOURNE PARTICIPATION CONTRACT


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 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 supplier is entitled to ask you to agree that
these statutory guarantees do not apply to you. If you sign
this form, you will be agreeing that your rights to sue the supplier under the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act
2012 if you are 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 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.

This is a legally binding contract between me, the undersigned person described in either Schedule 1 (Participant) or
Schedule 2 (Lawful Parent / Guardian of the Minor Participant) and Slide the Streets Pty Ltd ACN 601 093 707 (Slide), a
supplier of recreational services as defined in the Australian Consumer Law and as applied in Victoria through the Australian
Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012 (Vic).
Slide has provided me with this Contract prior to participation so that I can make an informed decision regarding my
participation with full regard to the risks and consequences.
Recreational Services
1.1
The Recreational Services provided by Slide includes the use of a giant water slide temporarily assembled along a
long stretch of an existing public road so as to enable participants to engage in the act of sliding down along the
length of the slide, together with the use of its surrounds plus all other associated activities for the specified
duration of the event.
Risk
2.1

2.2

The following physical attributes of the slide are obvious and evident with regard to risk: the slide is large,
temporarily constructed along an existing hard surface that is a road, subject to a slope along its course with lots of
water upon its surface to facilitate sliding.
I understand and recognise that the act of sliding requires me to use by holding steadfastly onto an inflatable air
cushion, the progression from an upright standing position into an initial horizontal descending propulsion, a landing
that may involve an abrupt recoil and requires me to remain securely atop of the air cushion to cushion from the
harder surface, and the increase of acceleration and momentum as I slide along its course. In doing so, the following

2.3

2.4

physical exertions of participants are obvious and evident with regard to risk: falls, contact with other participants or
spectators, collisions, quick movements, strenuous exertion, unexpected failures and other mishaps.
I understand that there are risks that may arise from the acts of other participants and or spectators that are not
condoned by Slide but which may nevertheless still occur, which include pedestrian traffic generally, irresponsible,
unreasonable, excessive, reckless, careless, unkind, wanton and generally objectionable behaviour whether
intentional or unintentional.
I also understand and recognise other environmental characteristics that may present risks. I am aware that water
quality may be detrimentally affected as a consequence of the continual use of the slide throughout the specified
duration by a large number of participants including but not limited to the presence of disease, irritants or other
substances. Further, I am aware that the water is chlorinated and there may also be environmental grade detergent
used at Slides discretion. I am also aware that that the effects of weather may present risks including but not
limited to higher and lower temperatures and humidity, heat exhaustion, hypothermia.

Own Reasonable Care


3.1
I acknowledge and agree that I myself must and will take reasonable care for my own safety.
Risk Awareness and Voluntary Assumption of Risk
4.1
I acknowledge and agree that the Recreational Services involve an obvious risk of harm. I acknowledge and agree
that there is a risk of personal injury or death. This is the case even though such an obvious risk may have a low
probability of occurring, or, may not be prominent, conspicuous or physically observable. I have been made aware
of the risk of harm. My participation in the Recreation Services is done so freely with full knowledge and realisation
of the risk of harm, and I have voluntarily assumed the risk of harm.
Exclusion of your Rights to Sue
5.1
I acknowledge and agree that Slide, in supplying the Recreational Services, is not required to ensure that the
Recreational Services:
5.1.1
are rendered with due care and skill; and
5.1.2
are reasonably fit for any purpose that I, either expressly or by implication, make known to Slide; and
5.1.3
might reasonably be expected to achieve any result I have made known to Slide.
5.2
As a consequence, I acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law:
5.2.1
my legal rights, whether arising from the statutory consumer guarantees contained in the Australian
Consumer Law, the laws pertaining to breach of contract, the laws pertaining to negligence, or any other
law (whether statute or common law) to sue Slide if I am killed or injured, are totally and entirely excluded;
5.2.2
the legal obligations of Slide, its directors, employees, volunteers, contractors and agents, whether arising
from the statutory consumer guarantees contained in the Australian Consumer Law, the laws pertaining to
breach of contract, the laws pertaining to negligence, or any other law (whether statute or common law)
toward me if I am killed or injured, are totally and entirely excluded;
5.3
I totally and entirely exclude, release, hold harmless and forever discharge Slide, its directors, employees,
volunteers, contractors and agents from all and any liability and from all and any claims, suits, demands, actions or
proceedings arising out of or connected with any physical injury or death in any way whatsoever caused by or arising
from participation in the Recreational Services.
Indemnity
6.1
I fully and completely indemnify Slide against any and all liability, loss, damage, costs or expenses incurred or
suffered by Slide arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with my participation in the Recreational
Services. I also acknowledge and agree that this indemnity is a continuing obligation separate and independent
from any other obligation contained in this Agreement and survives termination of this Agreement. To avoid doubt,
it is not necessary for Slide to incur expense or make payment before enforcing this right of indemnity.

acknowledge that Slide recommends and encourages that I get medical clearance from my physician prior
to participating in the Recreational Services;
7.1.2
warrant that I do not have any condition (including pregnancy) that would or would likely result in a
detrimental outcome by participating in the Recreational Services;
7.1.3
warrant that I do not have any open wounds or similar injury, and for my safety and that of other
participants, it is my responsibility to inform Slide of any such wound or injury so that a reasonable and
informed determination regarding my continued participation may be properly made by Slide;
7.1.4
warrant that I have a sufficient level of comprehension, condition, capability and fitness to enable me to
safely participate in the Recreational Services myself (without any assistance from others because due to
the practicalities and physical characteristics of the slide, Slide cannot allow me to slide if I require the

7.1.5
7.1.6
7.1.7

contemporaneous assistance of a carer or companion) and acknowledge that Slide recommends that I do
not participate if I have any doubts or uncertainties in this regard;
warrant that I am not and will not be affected in any way by alcohol, drugs or medication;
authorise Slide to secure emergency medical treatment and or transportation if deemed necessary by Slide,
and agree to pay for all such medical and or transportation;
acknowledge and agree that it is my duty to inform Slide and cease immediately if I should feel any
discomfort during participation (including but not limited to faintness, shortness of breath, high anxiety,
chest pains) or if I become incapable or unable to safely meet the rigours of the Recreational Services.
