In consideration of this registration being accepted and my being permitted to participate in the Event, I agree to the following, intending to be legally bound for myself and my heirs, executors and administrators. 

Event means the event or activity for which I am registering and any related events or activities that take place prior to or after the main event.

   4. will cooperate with any actions required of me or taken by Cancer Council Queensland to comply with their work health and safety obligations. 
2. I acknowledge and agree that sporting activities and similar leisure time pursuits, such as the Event, are inherently dangerous and my participation in the Event may involve a significant degree of physical exertion and risk, including the risk of physical injury or even death, and I voluntarily agree to assume those risks. I accept that Cancer Council Queensland has not undertaken any assessment of my ability to participate, and I am solely responsible for assessing my level of fitness and ability to participate.

   1. have sufficiently trained; and 
   2. am sufficiently physically fit for the Event; and 
   3. am not aware of any illness, injury or any other circumstances which may cause or contribute to personal injury, death and/or property damage to me or anyone else.

4. I consent to receiving any medical assistance which is considered appropriate by officials or medical staff at the Event. If I am required to be transported to a medical facility such as a hospital for further assistance, I agree to pay reasonable costs associated with such transportation and further medical assistance.

10.  The above release does not extend to any liability for all or part of a monetary penalty under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld) and/or the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (Qld). It also does not purport to exclude, limit or modify the operation of that Act or any duty owed under it.

Section 139A of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) affects the extent to which a contract for the supply of recreational services can exclude, restrict or modify: (a) application of, (b) rights under, or (c) liability for failure to comply with, certain consumer guarantees relating to the supply of services that are otherwise implied in consumer transactions by the Australian Consumer Law.
12. Accordingly, to the extent permitted by law, I agree that each of the guarantees in Part 3-2, Division 1, Subdivision B of the Australian Consumer Law in respect of recreational services provided by or on behalf of Cancer Council Queensland or any Released Entity, is excluded in respect of liability for the events and circumstances set out in s139A(3) of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).
13. Similarly, to the extent permitted by law, I also agree that any liability of Cancer Council Queensland or any Released Entity in respect of any of the guarantees referred to in clause 12 above is excluded in respect of the events and circumstances set out in s139A(3) of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).

I agree and consent to the publication and use by Cancer Council Queensland and any of its assignees or licensees of my name and/or quotes, interviews or images (including film) (Materials) of my performance in the Event for the purpose of activities of Cancer Council Queensland (including publicity, merchandising and fundraising) by any form of media (e.g. newspapers, magazines, other print publications, radio and television broadcasts, websites, webinars, podcasts and vodcasts) in perpetuity and without compensation. I acknowledge and agree that such Materials are owned by Cancer Council Queensland. Cancer Council Queensland is not responsible for photographs and images taken by persons who are not an official representative of Cancer Council Queensland.

17. If any provision in this document is unenforceable, illegal or void, then the parties agree that the provision must be read down the minimum necessary to allow it to be enforceable whilst preserving as close as is possible the purpose of the provision.  If the provision cannot be read down, it is severed, and the rest of this document remains in force.
18. This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Cancer Council Queensland and myself, in respect of its subject matter and supersedes any prior agreement or understanding in relation to anything connected with its subject matter. To the extent of any inconsistency between this agreement and any other document I agree to at the Event, this agreement prevails.

Cancer Council Queensland and I submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Queensland, Australia and the courts of appeal therefrom for the resolution of any dispute under these terms or concerning the Event.
