Golf Scooter Hire Agreement

banner-default.jpg

WAIVER/RELEASE/INDEMNITY – VOLUNTARY ASSUMPTION OF RISK

Gosnells Golf Club Inc. (GGC) has golf scooters for hire (Scooter).


Using a Scooter to transport yourself and your equipment around the course is an inherently
dangerous recreational activity that carries significant, obvious, and unavoidable risks.


Warnings


For example, the ground on which you may choose to take the Scooter is uneven and may
include patches of compacted and loose sand, trees, shrubs, tree-roots, grass, hills and
depressions, bunkers and water hazards, and irrigation infrastructure (sprinklers and valve
boxes and the like). That is not an exhaustive list.


Beyond the terrain-based risks, are the operator risks. There is the risk that you may collide
with another vehicle, or with another person using the course, or with other physical features
of the course. Lastly, but obviously, you may fall off while the Scooter is in motion.


Scooters will not be safe for all golfers to use. You should consider carefully whether a
Scooter is safe for you. The GGC has no way of assessing your capacity to use a Scooter
safely. If you are in any doubt, please do not hire one.


Using a Scooter safely requires balance, management of the Scooter’s speed and direction,
and vision that is good enough for the rider to identify and avoid things and people with
whom the rider and/or the Scooter might collide. It will also necessarily require sufficient skill
and strength to park the Scooter safely as you play, and to safely put in motion as travel
around the course.


Rules


The GGC has created rules with which ALL operators MUST comply (Rules).
RULES

  • You must be at least 16 years of age to hire or use a Scooter.

  • You must not consent or permit anyone else to operate the Scooter you have hired.

  • You must not permit any other person to ride on the Scooter with you.

  • you have sufficient experience in riding powered two-wheeled machines that you

  • can manage a scooter safely.

The GGC has relied on the warranties you have given, and you acknowledge that the GGC
is entitled to rely on those warranties.


Waiver


In those circumstances, and with the exception of injury or damage caused by mechanical
failure during normal use, you accept sole and complete responsibility for all incidents of all
kinds that are incidental to, or a consequence of, your use of a Scooter.
Release


You hereby release the GGC, its employees, officers and agents, from all liability of any kind
arising from your use or mis-use of a Scooter.

exceptions.
