By using this website (“Service”) you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions (“Terms of Service”) with The Art Of Driving (50 840 445 228).
The Art Of Driving reserves the right to update and change the Terms of Service without notice.
These Terms may be varied from time to time and will be updated on the website. You will be bound by the Terms you accept at the time of booking your lesson. If you book more than one lesson at the same time, the terms and conditions applicable at the time of booking will apply to each lesson booked at that time.
1. Fees and cancellations/rescheduled bookings
1.2 We reserve the right to reschedule a lesson subject to the provision of reasonable notice.
1.3 We reserve the right to refuse to provide a lesson where you are unfit to operate a vehicle or suspected to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol as reasonably determined by us. If such circumstances arise, your lesson fee will be payable.
2. Provision of Lessons
2.1 You must hold a current Australian driving licence (Class C LRN or C) or equivalent overseas licence and carry it with you during a lesson.
2.2 On-road lessons commence and end at the pre-determined pick-up point, determined at the time of booking the lesson.
2.3 The duration of a standard on-road lesson is one hour, which includes briefing and/or debriefing time.
2.4 Proper footwear must be worn during the lesson. A flat, enclosed and secure shoe is recommended.
2.5 You must be ready to commence the lesson 10 minutes prior to the agreed time. If you do not turn up at the agreed time for your lesson, your instructor will wait 15 minutes and may deduct this from the total lesson time at the instructor’s reasonable discretion. If you turn up outside these times, your instructor may, in his/her reasonable discretion, choose not to proceed with the lesson and in such circumstances, you will be liable for the cost of the lesson.
2.6 While every endeavour is made to commence the lesson at the scheduled time and with the scheduled instructor, no responsibility can be taken for circumstances beyond our control that may delay the start time or result in a change of instructor. If circumstances beyond our control have delayed the start time of your lesson, we will offer you the full lesson time or, if that is not possible, we will offer you a lesson at another time.
2.7 You must comply with the instructions or directions of your instructor at all times, before or during a lesson.
2.8 We reserve the right to terminate a lesson if:
a. you engage in any behaviour that your instructor determines is reckless; or
b. you fail to comply with the instructions or directions of your instructor before or during a lesson; or
c. you fail to comply with any special conditions on your license, i.e. wearing of glasses/contacts
In the event that a lesson is terminated under the circumstances listed above, you will be required to pay the full cost of the terminated lesson.
2.9 Neither we nor our driving instructors accept any liability whatsoever for personal property that is left in any instructor-supplied vehicle.
2.10 Driving lessons cannot take place in your own vehicle unless you have at least one full lesson with us to assess your driving. After this assessment, if your instructor agrees to provide lessons in your own car, you warrant that your car is covered by compulsory third-party and comprehensive insurance. Neither we nor our driving instructors accept any responsibility whatsoever for traffic infringements or accidents resulting from a learner having driving lessons in their own car.
