TERMS & CONDITIONS & PARTICIPANT / SPECTATOR AGREEMENT

Please read carefully before entering or using the facilities.

By booking, entering, spectating or participating at Just Ramps, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions.

1. ASSUMPTION OF RISK

Skateboarding, BMX riding, scootering, inline skating and related activities are inherently dangerous.

Participation and presence within a skatepark environment carries a significant risk of:

• Serious injury
• Permanent disability
• Paralysis
• Death

By entering Just Ramps, whether as a participant or spectator, you acknowledge and accept that:

• You do so entirely at your own risk.
• You voluntarily assume all inherent risks associated with an active skatepark environment.
• You are responsible for your own safety and actions at all times.

2. SPECTATORS & NON-PARTICIPATING VISITORS

All spectators and non-participating visitors acknowledge that:

• Riders may lose control.
• Equipment (including scooters, BMX bikes, skateboards or parts thereof) may leave riding areas.
• Accidental collisions may occur.
• There is a risk of being struck by a rider or moving equipment.

By entering the premises, spectators voluntarily assume all inherent risks associated with being present within an active sporting facility.

Spectators must:

• Remain in designated viewing areas.
• Follow all signage and staff instructions.
• Supervise children in their care at all times.
• Not enter riding areas unless authorised.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or any liability that cannot legally be excluded.

3. HEALTH & FITNESS

By participating, you confirm that:

• You are medically fit and physically able to take part.
• You do not suffer from any condition that would make participation unsafe.
• You have sought medical advice where appropriate.

Activities are not recommended for individuals with heart, back or neck conditions, or those who are pregnant. Participation is undertaken at your own discretion.

4. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Helmets and protective equipment (knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards) are strongly recommended at all times.

Participants acknowledge that:

• Choosing not to wear protective equipment significantly increases the risk of serious injury or death.
• Participation without protective equipment is entirely at the individual’s own risk.
• Just Ramps cannot directly monitor every participant at all times.

Parents/guardians accept responsibility for injuries sustained where a child participates without protective equipment.

5. PARENTAL CONSENT (UNDER 16s)

• All participants under 16 must have parental or guardian consent.
• The parent/guardian confirms they accept responsibility for the minor’s participation and behaviour.
• The parent/guardian acknowledges the inherent risks involved.

6. SUPERVISION & UNATTENDED MINORS

Just Ramps is a recreational sports facility and not a childcare provider.

Parents and guardians remain responsible for the supervision, conduct and welfare of their children at all times while on the premises.

Supervision policy:

• Children under 12 should not be left unattended unless they are experienced skatepark users and known to management.
• First-time visitors under 12 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
• Children aged 12 and over may attend unaccompanied at parental discretion.

However:

• Allowing a child to attend unaccompanied does not transfer parental responsibility to Just Ramps.
• Staff supervise the facility for general safety oversight and rule enforcement only.
• Just Ramps reserves the right to require a parent(s) or guardian(s) to remain on-site or collect a child where necessary for safety, welfare or behavioural reasons.

7. STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

All riders must:

• Ride within their ability level.
• Maintain control of speed and direction.
• Respect other riders.
• Follow all signage and staff instructions.
• Use equipment safely and appropriately.

Behaviour that endangers others, damages property or disrupts the facility will not be tolerated.

Failure to comply may result in:

• Immediate removal from the premises.
• Suspension or banning.
• No refund being issued.

Parents/guardians may be required to collect a child immediately where behavioural concerns arise.

8. JUST RAMPS BEHAVIOUR POLICY (3-STRIKE SYSTEM)

These behavioural conditions apply equally to all riders using Just Ramps facilities, regardless of age, experience or additional needs. All behavioural expectations are applied consistently and in the interests of safety and fairness.

Just Ramps operates a structured Behaviour Monitoring System as follows:

Behavioural Report Card

• If a rider is spoken to regarding behaviour that breaches safety or conduct standards, they may be placed on a Just Ramps Behaviour Report Card.
• The report card is issued where staff determine that behaviour requires monitoring for safety reasons.
• The purpose of the report card is corrective, supportive and preventative.

3-Strike Policy

• If a rider receives three recorded behavioural incidents (“X” marks) within any 10-session period, this will result in a suspension.
• The minimum suspension period is three (3) weeks.
• Just Ramps reserves the right to impose a longer suspension period where deemed necessary for safety or operational reasons.
• Suspension duration is determined solely by Just Ramps management.

Positive Behaviour Recognition

• Where a rider completes 10 consecutive sessions without behavioural incident (“tick” marks), they may receive a reward at management discretion, such as an item from the tuck shop or a milkshake.
• The reward system is designed to positively reinforce safe and respectful conduct.

Just Ramps reserves the right to remove, suspend or permanently ban any rider where behaviour presents a safety risk to themselves, other users, staff or the facility.

9. RIGHT TO REFUSE ENTRY

Just Ramps reserves the right to refuse admission or require any person to leave where it is reasonable to do so, including for safety, behavioural, safeguarding or operational reasons.

Persons who are visibly intoxicated or suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol will not be permitted to participate.

10. DRUGS & ALCOHOL POLICY

Just Ramps operates a zero-tolerance Drugs & Alcohol Policy.

Management reserves the right, where reasonable cause exists, to:

• Refuse participation.
• Require a visitor to leave the premises.

No refund will be issued in such circumstances.

11. EQUIPMENT

Participants using their own equipment do so at their own risk.

Equipment Hire:

• Hire equipment is accepted in its current condition.
• Participants must inspect equipment prior to use.
• Any concerns must be raised before use.
• Use of hire equipment is entirely at the participant’s own risk.

12. REPORTING INJURY OR HAZARDS

Any accident, injury, damage or hazard must be reported to a member of staff immediately.

Failure to report incidents at the time may affect the ability to investigate.

13. PERSONAL PROPERTY

All personal belongings are brought onto the premises at the owner’s risk.

Any adjustments must remain compatible with health and safety obligations, safeguarding responsibilities and operational requirements.

Behavioural expectations apply consistently to all riders in order to maintain a safe environment for everyone.

16. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
