3.2 You confirm that participation is entirely your choice, that you are physically and mentally fit to participate, and that you are not affected by alcohol or drugs and will not be during any activity involving firearms.

4. Release and discharge

4.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release, discharge and hold harmless the Landholder and the Platform from all claims, demands, actions and liability for death, personal injury, psychological injury, loss of or damage to property, and economic loss, arising directly or indirectly out of your participation in hunting and associated activities at the property, however caused, including where caused by the negligence of the Landholder or the Platform.

4.2 To the extent permitted by section 139A of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), liability of the Landholder and the Platform for death or personal injury arising from the supply of recreational services is excluded.

5. Your promises

5.1 You warrant that you and every member of your party hold, and will carry during the stay, a current firearms licence for any firearm carried, together with every game or hunting licence or permit the relevant state requires, and that all firearms will be transported, stored and used in accordance with law.

5.2 You will follow all property rules set out in the listing, all reasonable directions of the Landholder, and all laws that apply to the stay, including safe firearm handling at all times, confirmed target identification before any shot, and respect for boundary fences, livestock, water points and infrastructure.

5.4 You will not enter neighbouring land without separate lawful permission.

6. Strict indemnity

6.2 This indemnity is a continuing obligation, survives the end of your stay, and does not apply to the extent that the loss was caused by the party claiming under it.

6.3 Without limiting clause 6.1, if the Platform is sued, joined to a claim, or required to respond to a regulator because of your specific actions or omissions, you agree to pay the Platform's reasonable legal fees and costs of responding, on a full indemnity basis, as they fall due.
