Terms of Use
Access to and use of the BMC websites (specifically 'thebmc.co.uk, 'shop.thebmc.co.uk',  'community.thebmc.co.uk' and 'gbclimbing.uk') is provided by the BMC subject to the following terms:

1. By using these the BMC sites you agree to be legally bound by these terms, which shall take effect immediately on your first use of the BMC sites. If you do not agree to be legally bound by all the following terms please do not access and/or use the BMC sites.

2. The BMC may change these terms at any time by posting changes online. Please review these terms regularly to ensure you are aware of any changes made by the BMC. Your continued use of the BMC sites after changes are posted means you agree to be legally bound by these terms as updated and/or amended.

4. You are able to create a user account on the BMC website. This allows you to comment on articles without having the comment reviewed by moderators first. You can also link your BMC membership to your profile to access your membership details online.
