**PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY / COMMITMENTS**
**Patron Rules and Agreements Prior to Entry**
I hereby consent to my child attending your event by agreeing to the terms and conditions prior to purchasing a ticket via the tick box. By paying the deposit or purchasing the ticket online from the Rev website or Eventbrite using my Visa card, I enter into a legal agreement as a parent to assist in ensuring my child’s safety before, during, and after the event.
I have confirmed with my child that they are expected to display their best behavior.
I understand that this event is required by law to be alcohol-free and drug-free. I agree that the event organizers and supervisors may take all reasonable steps, including the use of CCTV and random breathalyzer tests, to maintain this standard. I accept that any attendee deemed to be under the influence will be removed from the event without a refund, and I will be contacted. If I cannot be reached, my child is aware that the Gardaí will be notified.
– I will instruct my child and exercise appropriate control to ensure they do not consume any alcohol prior to, on the way to, or during the event.
– I will personally oversee and organize the travel arrangements for my child to and from the event, and I will be present when they return home.
– I accept that the event organisers may, at their discretion, cancel any ticket sold or refuse admission on the night of the event. They may also ask any child to leave and not return in the future.
– I confirm that I will be reachable by mobile phone while my child is traveling to and from the event, as well as during the event itself. I agree to promptly collect my child from the venue if requested by phone or text.
– I confirm that my child understands Coco’s Law and will not video record or photograph anyone kissing and upload it to social media or WhatsApp groups without our explicit consent.
– I agree that there is no safe or acceptable level of drug use for individuals under the age of 18.
– According to the Tobacco Products and Nicotine Inhaling Products Act 2023, minors are prohibited from vaping inside the venue. If found vaping in any area, including bathrooms, attendees will be ejected, and I will be notified. The Gardaí may impose a fine on me, along with a criminal investigation to identify who provided the vape.
– Any serious offense, such as activating a fire alarm or triggering a smoke alarm (including through smoking or vaping) will result in a €500 fine from the fire department, which I will be liable for.
– I am aware that drug use is a criminal offense . I acknowledge that if my child is found using or in possession of any drugs, I will be required to accompany my child to the Garda Station for an interview and to any court hearings that may follow.
My child and I understand that any form of violence, whether physical or verbal, will not be tolerated. If such behavior is observed or reported by event staff, my child will be ejected from the event, and I will be notified. In the case of a serious incident, such as an assault, the Gardaí will be involved, and I will take my child to the Garda Station. I realize this is a civil matter, and I accept that I will be liable for any expenses incurred as a result of such actions, including medical, dental, or legal costs. If the Gardaí are involved and a resolution cannot be reached between the minors and their parents, my child will be banned from all future events.
I have advised my child that if they experience bullying, assault, unwanted physical contact, mockery, or any behavior that makes them feel uncomfortable, they must inform security or staff immediately. Due to the loud music and the dark, crowded environment, security may not see such incidents happening.
I have instructed my child to be mindful of the dos and don’ts, and to behave as they would at home. This includes:
– No throwing water or objects around the venue or at others.
– No roughhousing, such as jumping on people’s backs or acting foolishly.
– No running or engaging in behavior that breaches health and safety regulations, which could endanger others, such as activating fire alarms, smoking in bathrooms, tampering with safety caps, or handling electrical equipment.
– No standing in disrespectful manners or damaging the venue or its property.
My child understands that I am responsible for any damage caused to the venue or its equipment.
I have told my child to assist Rev staff in maintaining the highest standards for health and safety. They should report hazards immediately, such as:
– Wet floors or spills
– Any assaults or disturbances
– Items that have fallen or loosened and could create trip hazards
– Instances of bullying or mockery
Under the amendments to the Occupiers Liability Act 1995, which came into law on July 31, 2023, my child understands they are a visitor to the premises and will treat it with the same respect they would at home.
**Duty of Care Owed to Visitors:** If my child sees a spillage or anything that may cause harm, they must inform a staff member without delay. The owners, managers, and staff of the premises are committed to upholding the highest safety standards to ensure the venue is well-maintained and safe for all patrons. If they see a “wet floor” sign, they should avoid the area, as it indicates a slippery surface. If a sign instructs patrons to hold onto handrails while navigating stairs, they must comply.
Health and safety will be regularly monitored by Rev Discos and documented through risk assessments.
**Voluntary Assumption of Risk**
Patrons must remain vigilant and monitor behaviors while visiting the premises. Everyone is encouraged to voluntarily assist staff in maintaining the highest safety standards. This includes reporting any form of bullying, unauthorized video recording, theft, or physical violence to staff or security immediately, as it is the duty of each visitor.
I have informed my child to listen to Rev security, stewards, staff, and the Gardaí, as they are present to ensure the safety of all attendees.
– If my child wishes to leave the event, they must contact Rev security or staff, who will facilitate communication with the duty of care officer to arrange for their pickup by me or another guardian. Please note that children must be signed out before 10:30 PM and are not allowed to leave unaccompanied.
– I have approved my child’s attire and acknowledge that Rev is not responsible or liable for any issues related to inappropriate clothing. Any complaints regarding clothing will not be entertained, and I understand that parents should not dictate how other parents raise their children. Rev does not discriminate based on age, race, gender, marital status, disability (physical or mental), religion, belief, sexual orientation, or gender identity. We will strive to accommodate all individual preferences.
Parents should be aware that Rev will have photographers and videographers on-site to capture moments for an after-movie and marketing purposes. Photos taken during the event, including meet-and-greet sessions, will not be posted publicly on social media and will be shared via a private link sent to the parent’s booking email.
For online social media interviews, my child will only participate after I have discussed the online landscape and the implications of being “TikTok famous” with them. Parental consent is required through the form prior to ticket purchase. Attendees will be asked for permission before being featured on our social media platforms; they can choose whether or not their content is published. If an attendee regrets their interview or feels it did not go well, they can request that it be deleted and not uploaded. Once a video is uploaded, if the attendee wishes to have it removed from our platforms, we will comply immediately. Attendees will be briefed off-camera about the questions to be asked to prepare them for recording.
Rev is committed to remaining neutral regarding differing views and opinions on parenting methods. We will not be dictated to about how to manage these perspectives, and we will always strive to resolve any conflicts that may arise. In the event of a serious incident, such as an assault or disputes between parents, the Gardaí will be called.
If attendees report serious incidents, such as being assaulted or neglected—like not having eaten for several days—we have a duty of care to inform TUSLA.
While we recognize that you and your child may comply with all of the above stipulations, it is essential to document this due to the challenges facing the discotheque industry, including the closure of venues each week due to excessive lawsuits and the need for self-awareness.
All venues are considered venue hires only and hold no obligations to engage in any form of communication. Therefore, venues are not liable or responsible for any issues that may arise, such as a child being refused entry.
All communications and complaints should be directed solely to Rev Discos. The venue serves as a safe space to provide our services and will not be involved in any legal disputes.
By adhering to these guidelines, you help ensure that Rev remains open for future generations.
