Terms of Purchase for Online Services and Events
These terms apply to services provided by KiipeilyAreena (hereinafter the “Service Provider”), such as climbing courses, birthday parties and other events (hereinafter the “service”), as well as their purchase through the online store or other sales channels. By accepting these terms at the time of purchase, the customer agrees to comply with them.
These terms are valid from 9 November 2026.
1. Registration and Payment
- Registration for the service is binding.
- As a rule, payment is made at the time of registration using the payment methods accepted in the online store. Payment is confirmed once the payment service provider has approved it as successful, and the place in the service is confirmed at the time of payment.
- Exceptions are services paid on site and places received from a waiting list. For these, the place is confirmed when the customer has received a confirmation by email. Children’s birthday parties can be paid either right away online or on site (see section 7).
- The customer receives an electronic confirmation of the registration and successful payment by email.
2. Cancellations and Changes
- Free cancellation is possible up to 7 days before the service begins. During this time, you can cancel yourself online in the My pages section or by email to info@kiipeilyareena.com.
- Later cancellations are made by email to info@kiipeilyareena.com:
- 48 hours to 6 days before the service begins: 50% of the amount paid will be refunded.
- Less than 48 hours before the service: no refund (except in the case of sudden illness, a medical certificate is required).
- The Service Provider has the right to cancel or reschedule the service, for example due to an insufficient number of participants or force majeure. The customer may be offered a new date or a full refund.
- For cancellations of children’s birthday parties, see section 7.
3. Participant’s Obligations
- The customer is responsible for their own state of health and for their ability to participate in the service.
- The customer agrees to follow the safety instructions given by the instructor or staff.
- The Service Provider has the right to remove from the service a person who endangers safety. In such cases, no refund will be given.
4. Limitation of Liability
- The Service Provider is responsible for the proper organization and safety of the service.
- The customer participates in the service at their own risk. Climbing always involves a risk of injury.
- The Service Provider is not liable for damages resulting from the customer’s actions contrary to instructions, an inadequate state of health, or other causes beyond its control.
- We recommend that all participants have their own accident insurance. Please check your insurance terms to make sure climbing is covered, as some policies exclude climbing or require a separate sports add-on. For minors, the guardian is responsible for insurance coverage.
- The gym rules also apply: Rules and safety.
5. Processing of Personal Data
Information provided by the customer at registration is processed in accordance with the privacy policy for the purpose of organizing the service and managing the customer relationship.
6. Applicable Law and Dispute Resolution
These terms are governed by Finnish law. Any disputes will primarily be resolved through negotiation. If no agreement is reached, the matter will be settled by the Consumer Disputes Board or the competent district court.
7. Children’s Birthday Parties
- Booking: Birthday parties can be booked in the online store no earlier than 120 days and no later than 21 days before the party. For dates closer than that, please ask by email at info@kiipeilyareena.com.
- Price and payment: Up to 10 children €300, 11–15 children €330 (prices include VAT). The price includes a climbing area and an instructor for your group for 75 minutes, all equipment, and the party room for 45 minutes after climbing. You can pay right away online when booking, or on site at the reception before the party begins.
- Cancellation and rescheduling: The booking can be cancelled or rescheduled free of charge online up to 7 days before the party. After that, cancellations are made by email to info@kiipeilyareena.com. For late cancellations, section 2 applies whether or not the booking has been paid for in advance online: when cancelling 48 hours to 6 days before the party, 50% of the price remains payable, and when cancelling less than 48 hours before, the full price remains payable (except in the case of sudden illness, a medical certificate is required). For a booking paid online, the part of the price that does not remain payable is refunded.
- Number of participants: Up to 15 children. Only children count towards this limit, not adults. Parties of more than 15 children are not organised. Choose the group size when booking (up to 10 or 11–15 children). If more children arrive than were booked, we charge the price difference (€30) at the reception. Please let us know about any change in the number of participants as soon as possible.
- Advance information: We will send you an information request by email 20 days before the party and a reminder 10 days before. In your reply, please tell us the birthday child’s name and age, the number and ages of the participating children, and anything else we should know (e.g. allergies), at least 7 days before the party. If the booking is made closer to the date, we will ask for the information in the booking confirmation.
- Adult supervision: Participation requires at least one adult for every 10 children (at least two adults for a group of 11–15 children). Adults are responsible for the children throughout the visit, including in the party room and while waiting for their turn to climb. The instructor guides and supervises the climbing, and participants must follow the instructor’s instructions.
- Party room: The room is available for 45 minutes after climbing and must be cleaned after use. Due to fire alarms, candles cannot be lit.
