2024 VAILO Adelaide 500

 

PURSUANT to regulation 11 of the South Australian Motor Sport Regulations 2014 (SA), the Minister to whom the administration of the South Australian Motor Sport Act 1984 (SA) (Act) has been committed hereby imposes the following conditions in respect of a permit, authorisation or ticket (collectively, Ticket) sold or granted by the SAMSB allowing entry to the motor sport event known as the VAILO Adelaide 500 (Event), in addition to any term stated or referred to in the Ticket. Every Ticket allowing entry to the Event is subject to: (a) these conditions, as amended by the SAMSB from time to time (displayed at Event entrances and available at https://adelaide500.com.au); (b) the Act and regulations made under the Act; (c) any applicable law, regulation and government direction, including but not limited to emergency declarations and directions related to the COVID-19 Pandemic; and (d) any reasonable direction issued by SAMSB, its employees, officers, agents, professional advisers, or any person appointed as an authorised person pursuant to regulation 20 under the Act (Authorised Person), (collectively, Conditions). Any person who, at any time, holds, purchases or otherwise acquires a Ticket (Patron) to enter the Event accepts and understands as binding the Conditions and any accompanying risks, obligations and responsibilities. It is each Patron’s responsibility to inform themselves of all the Conditions.

 

1. Motor Sport Activities are inherently dangerous recreational activities and there is significant risk of injury, disability or death.
If you do not wish to be exposed to such risks, then you should not attend at or participate in Motor Sport Activities.

 

WARNING: If you participate in these activities your rights to sue the supplier under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 if you are killed or injured because the activities were not supplied with due care and skill or were not reasonably fit for their purpose, are excluded, restricted or modified in the way set out in or on this sign.

 

In exchange for being able to attend or participate in the Motor Sport Activities, you agree:

 

  • to release the SAMSB, the Crown in the right of South Australia, Motorsport Australia (MA) and the Entities* to the extent that any or all of them are providing Recreational Services from all liability for: a) your death; b) any physical or mental injury (including the aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of such an injury); c) the contraction, aggravation or acceleration of a disease including but not only COVID-19; d) 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: i. that is or may be harmful or disadvantageous to you or the community; or ii. that may result in harm or disadvantage to you or the community, e) any claim for any costs and expenses you may incur as a consequence of any of the above; howsoever arising from your participation in or attendance at the Motor Sport Activities;
  • to indemnify and hold harmless and keep indemnified SAMSB, the Crown in the Right of South Australia, MA and each of the Entities to the maximum extent permitted by law in respect of any Claim by any person; and
  • to attend at or participate in the Motor Sport Activities at your own risk.

NOTE: The change to your rights, as set out in or on this sign, does not apply if your death or injury is due to reckless conduct on the supplier’s part. “Reckless Conduct” means conduct where the supplier of the recreational services is aware, or should reasonably have been aware, of a significant risk that the conduct could result in personal injury to another person and engages in the conduct despite the risk and without adequate justification. See section 139A of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010.

 

* “Entities” means event and competition organisers/promoters/managers, land and track owners/managers/administrators/lessees, MA affiliated clubs, state and territory governments and insured listed in MA public/product/professional indemnity insurance policies and each of their related bodies corporate (including their related bodies corporate) and each of their organs and agencies, officers/president/directors/executives, employees, servants, agents, partners, providers, members, competitors, drivers, co-drivers, navigators, officials, crew members, pit crew, delegates, licence holders, representatives, commissions, committees, advisers, trustees, councils, panels, shareholders, volunteers, officials, appointees, delegated bodies and sponsors.

If the SAMSB (or its representative) assesses any child Patron to be older than the age applicable to the policy applicable to child entry, the SAMSB may: (a) refuse entry or direct the Patron to leave the Event without refund; or (b) direct the person to purchase a Ticket that is available to persons of that age. Patrons who accompany children at the Event are responsible for the care, conduct and supervision of those children and must keep those children within sight at all times.
