I we understand that the crafts hired from Southwater Watersports Ltd are not allowed in the 2 buoyed areas of the lake (wildlife and beech). - I understand that we must stay on the boat as best as we can and must keep the buoyancy aid on and buckled up when on the craft. - Any persons abusing the equipment or being abusive to any person whilst hiring will be refused hire in the future. - Southwater Watersports Ltd will not be held responsible for any accident/ injury incurred whilst hiring equipment unless arising as a result of its own act or default. - Southwater Watersports Ltd is not responsible for the use of the equipment. We only provide equipment to be used under the skills and abilities of the hirer, we require no proof of ability and offer no advice or instruction in the use of the equipment and how it is to be used. - There is no drinking, eating or smoking whilst in the crafts or equipment **Southwater Watersports Ltd reserves the right to refuse hire to any person deemed unsuitable** - HDC (Horsham District Council) in partnership with Southwater Watersports Ltd maintains supervision of the Cripplegate Lake and surrounding area, but as a large body of untreated open water hosting a range of wildlife, factors beyond our control may create an unsuitable environment for watersports. In such circumstances the council reserves the right to close the lake to watersports activities. The lake water can also have varying bacterial levels which cannot be controlled and so people who take part in watersports at the lake should, therefore, be aware for the inherent risks associated with inland open water, such as Leptospirosis (Weil's' Disease) and the Council or Southwater Watersports Ltd cannot be held liable for any ill health resulting from such activity. - All participants need to be completely aware that there can be a risk to injury doing any watersports. All participants will not hold, in any way, anybody from Southwater Watersports Ltd for any injury while doing the watersports that is offered by them unless they were negligent. All participants need to be reasonably fit to take part in the activity they wish to do. **Clothing: All hires MUST wear a T-Shirt, shorts and secure footwear to go on the crafts**
