 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” is defined in the Fair Trading (Recreational Services) Regulations 2004.

4.  Release and Indemnity: In consideration of Boccia Australia accepting my application for membership I, to the extent permitted by law:
