Publisher and scope
This website is published by Quirkycompassjolt Design Media Ltd, company no. 14982653, registered office at 42 Mosley Street, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 1DF, United Kingdom. Contact [email protected].
The site provides general editorial information about indoor climbing arena architecture and engineering interfaces. It does not offer professional engineering, architectural, legal, inspection or climbing instruction services. Reading an article or contacting us does not establish a professional adviser-client relationship.
Safety and professional decisions
Climbing and work on climbing installations involve risk, including serious injury or death. Articles, illustrations and photographs are not construction details, operating instructions, rescue plans or certificates of compliance. Do not use them to select anchors, size structural members, specify impact surfaces, establish safe working methods or decide that an installation may remain in use.
Appoint competent professionals, establish applicable local requirements and follow the relevant manufacturer instructions. Where a defect or immediate danger is suspected, use the facility's appropriate isolation and escalation procedures and seek competent assistance. Do not wait for an editorial reply.
Accuracy and external references
We aim to explain the subject carefully, but material may become incomplete or outdated. Standards, law, guidance and product instructions can change. Check the current authoritative documents, their scope and the project's jurisdiction. An external link is a reference, not endorsement, affiliation or a guarantee of that site's content or availability.
References to particular organisations or manufacturers are informational. No named standards body, regulator, climbing organisation or manufacturer is represented as approving this website.
Using our material
Original site text and diagrams are protected by applicable intellectual property law. You may read, link to and make reasonable personal reference copies. Statutory exceptions, including fair dealing where applicable, remain available. Seek permission before reproducing substantial material, distributing edited versions or using our branding in a way that suggests endorsement. Third-party material remains subject to its own rights.
The message tool
The contact tool prepares a local draft; it does not send email or guarantee delivery. You are responsible for reviewing the text, choosing whether to send it and managing clipboard contents and downloaded files. Do not submit unlawful, abusive, confidential or unnecessarily sensitive material.
Availability and liability
We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability or that the site will meet a specific project need. To the extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for losses arising from reliance on general information in place of appropriate professional advice. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Your mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.
Law, updates and contact
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, subject to mandatory rights and protections applicable to you. The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, without removing any mandatory right you may have to bring proceedings elsewhere. We may revise these terms as the service changes. Please contact us if you need clarification or wish to report a problem.
