Add a clear link to these Terms of Use in the website footer, alongside the Privacy Policy.
Create a separate Privacy Policy (required under Australian law if collecting personal information).
Include a prominent link to your Range Safety Rules, Code of Conduct, and Membership Agreement.
Consider adding a membership portal terms section if the site allows online applications or bookings.
For range visitors/members, require acceptance of a detailed liability waiver before any physical access.
