3.          The Participant understands that the Participant may at any time refuse to take part in an Activity.

4.          The Participant warrants to UQ Sport Ltd, The University of Queensland and the Club that the Participant has informed UQ Sport Ltd, The University of Queensland and the Club in writing of the existence of any medical condition or impairment that may affect the Participant’s ability to safely take part in the Activities. The Participant must inform UQ Sport Ltd, The University of Queensland and the Club in writing if any such medical condition develops during the term of this Agreement.

a.          death or physical or mental injury;

b.          the contraction, aggravation or acceleration of a disease; or

c.          the coming into existence, aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of any other condition, circumstance, occurrence, activity, form of behaviour, course of conduct or state of affairs that may be harmful to the Participant or the community or may result in harm or disadvantage to the Participant or the community,

7.          For the purposes of this Agreement, conduct of a party is “reckless conduct” if the party is aware, or should reasonably have been aware, of a significant risk that the conduct could result in personal injury to another person and the party engages in the conduct despite the risk and without adequate justification.

8.          Where UQ Sport Ltd, The University of Queensland or the Club provides equipment for the use of the Participant or others taking part in the Activities, the Participant agrees that neither UQ Sport Ltd, The University of Queensland or the Club will be liable to the Participant for any loss or damage caused by the use or misuse of that equipment, except where UQ Sport Ltd, The University of Queensland or the Club is in breach of a statutory guarantee granted to the Participant under Part 3-2 of the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) or the liability cannot otherwise be excluded or limited by law.
