Exclusion and Limitation of Liability 

The Civil Liability Act 2003 (Qld) permits a term of a contract for the supply of recreational services to exclude liability of the supplier for damages for harm resulting from breach of an express or implied warranty that the services will be rendered with reasonable care and skill. 

You understand and agree that, to the extent permitted by law, Endeavour Foundation and any Event sponsor (and any of their directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents, and representatives) exclude all liability for damages for any harm (including but not limited to personal injury or death, damage to property and economic loss and whether direct, indirect, special or consequential) from a failure to exercise reasonable care and skill, regardless of whether the claim is brought in tort (including in negligence), in contract, under statute or otherwise, where such liability results from breach of an express or implied warranty that the services will be rendered with reasonable care and skill. 

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

• 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 Endeavour Foundation 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); 
• neither Endeavour Foundation nor any event sponsor (nor any of their directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents, and representatives) will be liable to you 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 you 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, Endeavour Foundation's liability to you and to any other person is limited (at its option) to re-supplying, repairing, or replacing the service or the payment of the cost of supplying the service to you again. 

Section 139A of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) ("CCA") permits a term of a contract for the supply to a consumer of recreational services, to exclude liability of the supplier for the death and personal injury arising from the failure to comply with a guarantee provided in sections 60 to 62 of the Australian Consumer Law. 
 
You understand and agree that, to the extent permitted by section 139A of the CCA, Endeavour Foundation and any Event sponsor (and any of their directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents, and representatives) excludes all liability in connection with the supply of recreational services for: 

1. death; 
2. physical or mental injury; 
3. the aggravation, acceleration, or recurrence of a physical or mental injury; 
4. the contraction, aggravation, or acceleration of a disease; and 
5. the coming into existence, the aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of any other condition, circumstance, occurrence, activity, form of behaviour, course of conduct or state of affairs in relation to an individual, that is or may be harmful or disadvantageous to the individual or community, or that may result in harm or disadvantage to the individual or community, resulting from a failure of Endeavour Foundation or any event sponsor (or any of their directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents, and representatives) to comply with a guarantee in sections 60-62 of the ACL. 

This exclusion of liability does not apply where significant personal injury is caused by the reckless conduct of Endeavour Foundation or any Event sponsor. 

Release and Indemnity 

You fully and irrevocably exclude and release Endeavour Foundation 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 you as a consequence of: 

• your involvement in the event, including in relation to death and personal injury
• in connection with or in respect of any breach of these terms; and
