In this clause 6.1, a word or expression defined in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) which is not otherwise defined in this Membership Agreement has the meaning given to it in that Act.

1. Cockburn Ice Arena must not use or disclose to another person (and must take reasonable steps to ensure that Cockburn Ice Arena employees do not use or disclose to another person) personal information about a Member obtained through Cockburn Ice Arena’s business unless authorised in writing by the Member or authorised or

6.2 Recurring Payments and Card Information

When card details are provided for recurring payments, they are securely stored and processed by Stripe, our chosen payment processor. Stripe adheres to the following strict security measures:

1. Encryption 
   All transactions are processed using secure connections, with TLS encryption to protect data in transit. Stripe encrypts sensitive data both in transit and at rest. Stripe’s infrastructure for storing, decrypting, and transmitting primary account numbers (PANs), such as credit card numbers, runs in a separate hosting infrastructure, and doesn’t share any credentials with the rest of their services.All card numbers are encrypted at rest with AES-256. Decryption keys are stored on separate machines. Stripe tokenises PANs internally, isolating raw numbers from the rest of their infrastructure. None of Stripe’s internal servers and daemons are able to obtain plain text card numbers but can request that cards are sent to a service provider on a static allowlist. Stripe’s infrastructure for storing, decrypting, and transmitting card numbers runs in a separate hosting environment, and doesn’t share any credentials with Stripe’s primary services including their API and website. It’s not just PANs that are tokenised this way; they treat other sensitive data, such as bank account information, in a similar way.
2. Access
   Cockburn Ice Arena does not have access to full card details. Only Stripe, the payment processor, has access to this information, and even within Stripe, access is restricted to authorized personnel only. A dedicated team manages CDV in an isolated Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment that’s separate from the rest of Stripe’s infrastructure. Access to this separate environment is restricted to a small number of specially trained engineers and access is reviewed quarterly.
3. Liability
   Stripe is PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant, meaning they meet the highest standards of data security. In the event of any unauthorized access or misuse of card details, Stripe holds the primary responsibility for the security of the data they handle. Please refer to Stripe’s Service Agreement for more details on their liability and security practices.

6.3 Surveillance

1. For safety and security reasons we implement video and audio surveillance to monitor Cockburn Ice Arena facilities. Surveillance is limited to the Cockburn Ice Arena reception, proshop, cafe, entry and rink areas only. By signing this Membership Agreement, you acknowledge that when accessing Cockburn Ice Arena you will be subject to video and audio surveillance and consent to such surveillance being taken and held by or on behalf of Cockburn Ice Arena.

6.4 Photography and Videography for Marketing

1. Occasionally our marketing department will take imagery and video footage of skaters in Private Figure Skating Sessions, lessons, Stick and Puck Sessions or General Public Sessions for the purposes of promoting the rink. You acknowledge that by entering into a Membership at Cockburn Ice Arena, you are giving permission for marketing to use your image for promotional purposes. Please notify reception@cockburnicearena.com.au if you have the need to amend this general permission.

It is the skater’s responsibility to maintain reasonable control of his/her speed at all times whilst skating, and to skate within their own skill and ability limitations. Each customer is responsible for his/her own safety. Cockburn Ice Arena is not responsible for any loss, death or injury that may occur.
3. Lockers are provided to secure your valuables. Staff cannot take any responsibility for items left unattended, and are also unable to personally look after your belongings.

5. External food or drink is not permitted on the premises. Items will be confiscated and may be collected by the customer from reception at the end of the session. In the case of severe food allergies, please consult with management.
6. During night sessions, Cockburn Ice Arena reserves the right to view the contents of bags and backpacks prior to entry. Open water bottles will be emptied prior to entry, but may be refilled at our water fountain outside of cafe. This is to prevent the high risk of injury and antisocial behaviour associated with consumption of secreted alcohol on the premises.
7. In the unlikely event of an accident or injury, please present to staff so a trained First Aid Officer may assess you.
8. Any refunds for general sessions will be at the discretion of management, and no further discussion will be entered into. If you have entered the arena and have skated on the ice, regardless of duration, there are no grounds for refunds.
9. Tickets are valid for 12 months from date of purchase.
