Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 March 2026

These Terms of Service govern your use of the Sydney Olympic Park Archers website at sopa-archery.org.au.
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you should not use the website.

1. About this website

This website is operated by Sydney Olympic Park Archers Inc. (“SOPA”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

The website provides information about the club, membership, coaching, events, news, member and club achievements, and related archery activities. It may also be used to accept enquiries, manage event bookings, and facilitate payments for club-hosted events or activities.

2. Website content

We aim to ensure that content on the website is accurate, current and useful. However, the website is provided on an ‘as is’ and ‘as available’ basis.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SOPA does not warrant that the website will always be available, uninterrupted or error-free, that the website content is complete, current or free from inaccuracies, or that the website or its server will always be free from viruses, malicious code or other harmful components.

Information on the website is general in nature and may change without notice.

3. No professional advice

Content published on this website is for general information only. It is not legal advice, medical advice, coaching advice, or any other professional advice, and should not be relied upon as such.

Participation in archery, coaching, training or events may involve eligibility, safety, medical, insurance, membership and other requirements that are specific to the participant and the activity. You are responsible for making your own enquiries and obtaining appropriate advice where required.

4. Membership, enquiries and bookings

The website may allow users to submit membership enquiries, register interest, or make bookings for club events, competitions, coaching programs or other activities.

By submitting information through the website, you represent that the information you provide is true, accurate and complete.

Submission of an enquiry does not by itself create membership, confirm eligibility, or guarantee entry into an event or program unless SOPA expressly confirms that outcome.

Event places, schedules, eligibility criteria, fees and participation requirements may be subject to separate rules, event conditions, club policies or governing body requirements. Where separate event-specific terms apply, those terms will prevail to the extent of any inconsistency.

5. Payments

Where the website supports online payments, those payments may be processed through a third-party payment provider such as Stripe.

SOPA does not store full credit or debit card details in the website database. Payment transactions are handled through the payment provider’s systems and are also subject to that provider’s own terms, conditions and privacy practices.

SOPA is not responsible for the operation, availability or security of third-party payment systems, except to the extent required by law.

6. Refunds, cancellations and changes

Event dates, booking arrangements, fees and participation details may be changed, postponed, cancelled or replaced where reasonably necessary, including for operational, safety, weather, venue, regulatory or other reasons.

Refunds, credits, transfer rights and cancellation rules may depend on the particular event or activity and any event-specific conditions published by SOPA. If no separate terms are published for a particular event, SOPA reserves the right to determine refund or credit outcomes acting reasonably in the circumstances and subject to applicable law.

7. User conduct

You must not use this website for any unlawful purpose, in a way that interferes with the website’s operation or security, to upload, transmit or distribute malicious code, to submit false, misleading or unauthorised information, to infringe the rights of SOPA or any other person, or to attempt unauthorised access to restricted parts of the site, backend systems, or other accounts.

8. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise indicated, the content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, images, design, layout and other materials, is owned by or licensed to SOPA.

You may view and download website content for personal, non-commercial use only, provided you do not remove copyright or other proprietary notices.

You must not reproduce, republish, adapt, transmit, distribute or commercially exploit website content without prior written permission from SOPA, except as permitted by law.

9. Member achievements, photos and submitted content

The website may publish news, results, event information, club achievements, photographs and other material relating to SOPA members, participants or club activities.

Where you submit content to SOPA for publication, such as photographs, announcements, results or other materials, you grant SOPA a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, publish and communicate that content for club, website, promotional, archival and informational purposes, unless otherwise agreed.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to provide any content you submit and that its use by SOPA will not infringe the rights of any other person.

10. Third-party links and services

This website may include links to third-party websites or services, including sporting bodies, event platforms, sign-in systems, merchandise providers, booking systems, payment providers and other external sites.

Those third-party sites are not controlled by SOPA. We are not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices, security or terms of use. Accessing third-party sites is at your own risk.

11. Privacy

Your use of this website is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information is collected, used, stored and disclosed.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SOPA excludes all liability for any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by you arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the website, reliance on website content, technical errors, outages or interruptions, unauthorised access to or alteration of website data, or the acts or omissions of third-party service providers.

Nothing in these Terms excludes any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable law, including rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

13. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify SOPA against loss, liability, damage, cost or expense reasonably incurred arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the website, or your infringement of the rights of another person.

14. Changes to the website or these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised ‘Last updated’ date.

We may also modify, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the website at any time without notice.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Any dispute arising in connection with these Terms or the website is subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and, where applicable, the Commonwealth of Australia.
