Warbird so called Adventure Flights

I wonder how many operators running Adventure flights adhere to the following, and how does the Warbird Associsation control this:

7.2.6. each passenger must be told that:
“(a) the design, manufacture, and airworthiness of the aircraft are not required to meet any standard recognised by CASA; and
(b) CASA does not require the aircraft to be operated to the same degree of safety as an aircraft on a commercial passenger flight; and
(c) the passenger flies in the aircraft at his or her own risk”; and

7.2.7. each passenger must be told about those matters
(a) before boarding the aircraft; and
(b) before the passenger pays for the flight; and
7.2.8. each passenger must have acknowledged in writing that the passenger has been told about those matters; and
7.2.9. the aircraft operator must keep those written acknowledgments for at least three months; but the acknowledgements may not be kept in an aircraft.
7.3. Along with those conditions specific to adventure flights, the aircraft must be fitted with a placard or placards bearing a specific warning, displayed inside the aircraft in a way that is conspicuous to, and can be easily read by each person when seated in the aircraft. That placard must state:

“WARNING PERSONS FLY IN THIS AIRCRAFT AT THEIR OWN RISK THIS AIRCRAFT HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND IS NOT OPERATED TO THE SAME SAFETY STANDARDS AS A NORMAL COMMERCIAL PASSENGER FLIGHT”.

7.4. Additionally, the word “LIMITED” must be displayed on the outside of the aircraft near each entrance to the cabin or cockpit, in letters not less than 5 cm in height. The letters should be in block capitals of a style that is conspicuous and legible, so the sign/s may be easily read by each person entering the aircraft.
