There are several important laws relating to the supply of recreational services. It is important that you read and understand the affect of these laws as you are entering into a contract of hire for the provision of recreational services equipment with Monsterball Amusements & Hire. There are certain laws governing civil liability and also special exceptions allowing suppliers of recreational services to exclude liability for personal injury or death. These exist, inter alia, because it is widely recognised that engaging in physical, leisure or sporting activities, which includes the use of Monsterball Amusements & Hire’s Amusement hire devices, involves a significant degree of risk.

• A person is not liable in negligence for harm suffered by another person as a result of the materialisation of inherent risk or obvious risks of a dangerous recreational activity.
• There is no proactive duty to warn of ‘obvious risks’, being risks which an ordinary person in your position would reasonably be aware are risks of engaging in the activity,
• Obvious risks include risks of the activity, despite the fact that they may have a low probability of occurring, and
• Injured persons will be presumed to have been aware of obvious risks In addition, section 5J specifically permits recreational services to exclude contractual liability for dangerous recreational activities as follows;
• Despite any written law or other law of the State, a term of a contract for the supply of recreational services may exclude, restrict or modify any liability that results from the breach of an express or implied warranty that the services will be rendered with reasonable care and skill.
