4 Cancellation or postponement of lessons:
4.1 Lessons may be cancelled, altered (e.g. shortened) or postponed providing at least 48 hours of notice is given. If the client cancels a lesson with less than 48 hours notice, a cancelation fee of full lesson price applies. If the client fails to attend an arranged lesson without or less then 48hours notice, the lesson fee will be fully chargeable and no refund will be made.
4.2 if the instructor cancels the lesson, fails to attend or gives notice with less than 48hours the lesson fee can not be charged and the following lesson will not be charged by the instructor.
4.3 The School or instructor is not liable for consequential loss for any cancelled lesson.
4.4 The school or instructor has the right to cancel any lesson or test if the tuition vehicle is non road worthy without any penalty.

4.6 In case of unsuitable or dangerous weather or road conditions only the School or instructor may postpone lessons. An alternative time and date will be offered and the School or instructor will have no further liability.
5. The School vehicle:
5.1 All School vehicles are fitted with dual controls and will be well maintained, clean and tidy.
5.2 The School or instructor will not be liable for any failure of a School vehicle during a lesson or the practical driving test unless it is a direct result of negligence on the part of the School or the instructor.
6 Practical driving test:
6.1 The instructor will inform the client when the client is ready to take the practical driving test. This does not guarantee a test pass.
Any test date must be discussed with the instructor and no guarantee can be given that the booked time can be met. The client is allowed to attend a test in their own vehicle. The school or instructor are not liable for a test being cancelled, terminated or failed when the client books and attends a test by themselves.

The instructor is not responsible for required documentation which must be provided by the student (e.g. complete and valid driving licence), sufficient eyesight or fitness to drive.
