TERMS OF
BUSINESS


General
•
Tuition Fees are normally paid at the end of the lesson, by cash or
cheque (unless pre-paid), and at the hourly rate previously agreed.
•
Lesson duration is normally 1 hour, unless otherwise agreed.
•
I will try my utmost to be punctual, but sometimes I may be delayed due
to unforeseen circumstances e.g. traffic conditions,breakdowns etc.
•
All lessons will start and finish at the same location, unless
otherwise agreed.
•
The tuition car is insured for the pupil’s driving whilst receiving
tuition or undergoing a practical Driving Test.
•
The tuition car is a strictly no smoking area, in accordance with the
Health Act 2006
•
I can not accept liability for the pupil’s personal effects or items of
clothing lost from or damaged in the tuition vehicle.
•
Please do not turn up for a lesson if you have indulged in alcohol or
drugs previously. As far as I am concerned, the limit of alcohol/drugs
whilst driving is
Zero.
In the interests of safety, I therefore
reserve the right to refuse a lesson if I suspect you have been
drinking/using drugs.
•
It
is your responsibility to inform me of any changes in your personal
driving details, such as penalty points on your licence etc. I reserve the
right to ask
for a re-check of your licence for this reason.
•
Any cheques for payment of lessons, which are not accepted by my bank
for whatever reason, and are consequently returned to your bank, will
incur a charge on you equal to
that imposed on me by my bank. If the cheque is returned again, then
lessons will be suspended until such time as
full payment (including any
return fees) has been accepted by my bank or by me in cash.
Lesson
Cancellation
•
If you need to cancel or change a lesson for any
reason, please try to give me at least 24 hours notice. If you fail to
give me 24 hours notice, or
fail to meet
an appointment without notice, the lesson fee will be payable in full
at my discretion. My contact details are on the “Contact
Card” enclosed in your “New Driver Pack”
•
Block bookings (e.g.£190 /
10 hours) which are paid for, and subsequently cancelled by you will be
reimbursed at the rate of £15 / full hour at
my discretion.
•
I reserve the right to cancel,
postpone or change lesson times and/or duration under certain
circumstances e.g. dangerous weather conditions ,
vehicle breakdown etc. If this becomes necessary, I will try my
best to let you know as soon as possible, and you will not incur any
financial
loss.
• In the event of a lesson coinciding with a
driving test date / time, the test will generally take precedence.
The
Driving
Test
•
In the event of a Driving Test being cancelled by
the DSA for whatever reason, I cannot accept liability for the pupil’s
losses
e.g Driving Test fees. These can normally be
recovered from the DSA. Tuition fees will normally still be chargeable,
at my discretion.
• On test day, there will normally be a 1
hour lesson prior to the test (unless otherwise agreed), and the total
cost for use of my car will be
for a 2 hour
session, unless otherwise agreed. For
clarity, the test will be taken in my car
unless otherwise agreed.
•
In the interests of safety, I reserve the
right to withhold the use of my car for the driving test if I consider
you are not ready to take the
driving test.
•
In the event of my vehicle being unavailable for the
Driving Test (if previously arranged), due to breakdown etc., I will
try my utmost to obtain
and provide an
alternative vehicle, but cannot guarantee that such a vehicle will be
provided.
In this case,
the limit of my liabilities to you will be the payment of another
driving test.
•
Three working days notice is required by the DSA for
driving test cancellation. Failure to provide adequate notice of
cancellation will result in
the forfeit of
the test fee.
•
If I agree that you are ready for test, and you book
your driving test yourself, please check with me first so that you do
not pick a
time / date that has already been reserved for
someone else.
