BridgeClimb Sydney is the seller of all Climbs over the Sydney Harbour Bridge (“Climbs”), all gift vouchers for Climbs (“Gift Vouchers”) and other ancillary items, including but not limited to photographs, videos, merchandise, food and beverages. All dealings with BridgeClimb Sydney will be on these Terms of Trade (“Terms”) unless otherwise agreed in writing by BridgeClimb Sydney.
These Terms, along with the BridgeClimb Health Declaration and all health and safety information provided to persons who take part in Climbs (“Climbers”) comprise the Agreement between BridgeClimb Sydney and the Climber or any other person acquiring a product or service from BridgeClimb Sydney (as applicable).
1. CLIMB
BridgeClimb Sydney reserves the right to add, withdraw, cancel , substitute and/or vary advertised routes and departure times for Climbs with reasonable prior notice, in which case clause 8.2 applies.
2. CHECK-IN FOR A CLIMB
All Climbers climbing on the Sydney Harbour Bridge (“Bridge”) are required to arrive and ‘check-in’ at BridgeClimb Sydney’s premises at least 15 minutes prior to the advised departure time as per Climber’s voucher or confirmation advice (“Proof of Purchase”). Subject to clause 9.1, failure to arrive by this time may result in non-admittance to a Climb at BridgeClimb Sydney’s discretion, without refund.
3. REQUIREMENTS TO PARTICIPATE
3.1 Climbers must hold a valid Proof of Purchase. Entry may be refused if the Proof of Purchase is damaged or defaced in any material way or not purchased from an authorised point of sale. Should a dispute arise over the validity of a Proof of Purchase, BridgeClimb Sydney reserves the right to refuse participation in a Climb unless Climber is able to show proof of their identity.
3.2 Climbers must be 8 years of age or over, be at least 120cm, be of sound mind and be in good health. Climbers may be required to undergo a test to assess whether they are capable of completing a Climb. Every three Climbers between the ages of 8 and 15 inclusive climbing together must be accompanied by one paying Climber of 18 years of age or older.
3.3 Prior to entering the BridgeClimb Sydney premises all persons including Climbers may be required to undergo a health assessment.
3.4 All Climbers of 18 years of age or older must provide valid Photo ID upon check-in, in order to participate in a Climb. If a Climber is between 15 and 18 years of age and does not have an accompanying Climber of 18 years or age or older with valid Photo ID, the Climber may be required to provide additional forms of identification as reasonably required by BridgeClimb Sydney (e.g. student card).
3.5 Before purchasing a Climb, all Climbers must carefully read the Health & Safety Essentials found in our Pre-Climb Checklist to ensure they are physically able to climb, and before participating in a Climb all Climbers must complete and sign the BridgeClimb Health Declaration, which will be provided to all bookers via email prior to their Climb date. If the Climber is under the age of 18 years and does not have the understanding necessary to sign a legal declaration, the Climber’s legal parent or guardian must sign the declaration on behalf of the Climber. If the Climber does not satisfy the health assessment contemplated by the BridgeClimb Health Declaration, then BridgeClimb Sydney will take reasonable steps to accommodate the Climber and their health requirements (if possible) and if no such reasonable steps are available, or if reasonable steps are not sufficient to adequately address the issue to BridgeClimb Sydney’s reasonable satisfaction, BridgeClimb Sydney will cancel the Climber’s Climb. If BridgeClimb Sydney cancels the Climber’s Climb under this clause it may (in its absolute discretion) offer a refund in accordance with clause 8.2.
3.6 BridgeClimb Sydney will perform a breath test on Climbers and may observe Climbers to ensure they are not under the influence of drugs (legal or illegal). Climbers will be refused participation in a Climb, without refund, if their blood alcohol concentration is 0.05% or greater, if they refuse to be breath tested or if BridgeClimb Sydney considers (acting reasonably) that they may be under the influence of drugs.
3.7 Smoking is not permitted on BridgeClimb Sydney’s premises or on the Bridge.
4. BRIDGECLIMB SYDNEY’S ABILITY TO REFUSE PARTICIPATION
4.1 BridgeClimb Sydney may refuse participation in a Climb if, in BridgeClimb Sydney’s reasonable opinion, the Climb or the participation of the Climber in the Climb may adversely affect the health, safety or security of BridgeClimb Sydney employees, agents, contractors and subcontractors (BridgeClimb Sydney Personnel), in which case clause 8.2 applies unless a person is refused participation in a Climb by reason of breach of clause 2 above or 5.4 below.
5. DURING A CLIMB
5.1 BridgeClimb Sydney will supply Climbers with equipment for use during a Climb. Use of this equipment is mandatory.
5.2 Climbers may take their own standard glasses (sun or prescription) on a Climb, at their own risk, provided that these glasses are securely attached using a BridgeClimb Sydney glasses lanyard and do not have any photographic or electronic devices included in their structure. At BridgeClimb Sydney’s discretion, potentially essential medication (e.g. asthma inhalers or other medication) may be taken on a Climb. While this will be done in secure manner by BridgeClimb Sydney Personnel, neither BridgeClimb Sydney nor BridgeClimb Sydney Personnel shall be responsible for the medication or the administering thereof. The Climber must not take part in the Climb if he or she has reason to believe that they will or are likely to require medication or the administration of medicines or medical assistance at any point during the Climb.
5.3 Other than as set out in clause 5.1 and 5.2 above, Climbers are not permitted to take any items onto the Bridge (including but not limited to items such as cameras, videos, audio, pagers, mobile phones, handbags, satchels, wallets, watches, fitness trackers and any other personal items or effects) and must remove these items prior to undertaking the Climb. Climbers will be provided with a locker for storage of personal belongings. To ensure that unauthorised items are not carried on to the Bridge, Climbers will be required to pass through a metal objects screening system prior to undertaking the Climb, and BridgeClimb Sydney (in its discretion) may refuse a Climber’s participation in a Climb (without refund) if a Climber is unwilling to remove any unauthorised items set out in this clause.
5.4 All Climbers must obey the reasonable directions and instructions of BridgeClimb Sydney Personnel, and must not act disruptively or disturb other Climbers or interfere with a BridgeClimb Sydney Personnel’s ability to conduct any part of the Climb process in a safe and secure manner and must not damage, deface or remove any part of the Bridge or any of the equipment supplied for use on a Climb. Disruptive behaviour includes making any jokes or flippant remarks about security. BridgeClimb Sydney retains the right to remove from a Climb any Climber who does not comply with these terms, without refund.
6. PHOTOGRAPHS AND OTHER IMAGE OR SOUND CAPTURE DEVICES
6.1 Photographs obtained from BridgeClimb Sydney remain copyright to BridgeClimb Sydney and may only be used or reproduced by the purchaser or recipient for private or domestic purposes and must not be used for any commercial purpose, including promotion of any supplier or any supplier’s products or services, without BridgeClimb Sydney’s prior written permission.
