Terms & Conditions

Terms of use for an information-only website. Nothing is sold here, no prices are published, and no equipment has been tested.

Last updated 24 October 2026.

Who we are

OlympicBars.co.uk. The publisher's registered name and address have not yet been added here. This is marked rather than invented, and must be completed before the site is promoted or used commercially.

What this site is

An independent information website about Olympic barbells and weight plates sold in the United Kingdom. It is a buying guide. It is not a shop, it holds no stock, it takes no orders and it processes no payments.

Specifications are quoted, not verified

Every specification published on this site is taken from the manufacturer's or retailer's own product page. Those figures are quoted in good faith and were accurate as published when this site was built. They have not been independently measured or verified, and manufacturers do revise them.

You should confirm any specification that matters to your purchase on the shop's own page before ordering. If you find a figure here that no longer matches, please tell us so it can be corrected.

No reviews, scores or recommendations

Nobody connected with this site has tested, trained on or inspected any of the equipment described. Nothing on this site is a review, a rating, a score, a ranking or a recommendation to buy a particular product, and nothing here should be read as one. Statements about who a bar suits are descriptions of its published specification, not verdicts on its quality.

No prices

This site publishes no prices and makes no statement about what anything costs, whether it is in stock, or what delivery or duty will be charged. Those are matters between you and the shop.

Links to third parties

This site links to third-party shops. We do not control those sites, we are not responsible for their content, their prices, their stock, their delivery, their warranty handling or their customer service, and a link is not an endorsement. Your contract, if you buy something, is with that retailer and not with us. As at the date above, no link on this site is an affiliate link and no commission is earned on any purchase.

Safety

Lifting heavy weights carries a risk of serious injury. Nothing on this site is coaching, training advice or instruction, and reading it is not a substitute for qualified coaching. Load ratings published by manufacturers are limits, not targets, and equipment should be used within them, in a suitable space, with appropriate safeties and flooring. You are responsible for your own safety and for the safe use of any equipment you buy.

Liability

This site is provided on an "as is" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law we exclude liability for any loss arising from reliance on information published here, including any purchase decision made on the strength of it. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. Your statutory rights as a consumer, which you exercise against the retailer you buy from, are unaffected.

Intellectual property

The text, layout, code and generated illustrations on this site belong to its publisher. Brand names, product names and trade marks mentioned belong to their respective owners and are used descriptively, for identification, which does not imply any association with or endorsement by those owners. No manufacturer product photography is used anywhere on this site.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.

Not legal advice

These terms have not been reviewed by a solicitor and nothing on this page is legal advice. They should be reviewed professionally before the site is used commercially.
