Terms of Business
Thank you for choosing Georges School of Motoring, the trading name of Paul Shackleton Driver Training. (GSM). Your custom is appreciated and not taken for granted.
At GSM we believe that each and every one of our pupils deserves the very best value, up to date tuition, either on the road or in the classroom. These terms and conditions are designed to protect everyone's interests and by accepting tuition you are agreeing to be bound by them.
If you are taking on-road lessons, and your normal Instructor is unavailable for any reason, the Instructor has the right to arrange for another Instructor to provide some, or all of your on-road driving tuition.
If your Instructor cannot arrange for an alternative Instructor to take your driving lesson, or in the event of mechanical breakdown of the vehicle in which you have been learning to drive, or for any other reason, the Instructor reserves the right to rearrange a driving lesson to a time convenient to both you and the Instructor.
If you cancel your lesson with less than 48 hours notice, the instructor MAY at his discretion charge you for the full lesson fee. The instructor will endeavour to book another pupil into the appointment time and if successful will not charge you for cancelling your lesson. A doctors note may be requested should a lesson be cancelled due to ill health.
If you are taking on-road lessons, your Instructor will carry the appropriate motor insurance should you cause an accident as a learner whilst driving the Instructor's tuition vehicle, whether you are accompanied by an Instructor or a Driving Standards Agency Examiner.
To take on-road lessons, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have the required licence to drive under the tuition of an Instructor. In the UK, to take driving lessons in a motor vehicle, you must be at least 17 years old (unless you are disabled, in which case you must be at least 16 years old) and hold a valid provisional driving licence. You will be asked by your Instructor to show your provisional driving licence at your first lesson.
GSM will not be liable for any unforeseeable losses, losses that were not caused by our negligence or for any business losses. This does not apply to any claim you may have for death or personal injury. Nothing in this term will affect the statutory rights you have regarding faulty or misdescribed products and services or any failure by us in providing our services.
We do not guarantee to provide, or procure the provision of, services if we are prevented from doing so in circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including without limitations, the activities of civil or government authorities, third party industrial disputes, internal industrial disputes where we have taken reasonable steps to prevent the effects of such action on our services but have been unable to do so; acts of God; or severe weather conditions.
We reserve the rights to make reasonable changes to the products, and these terms and conditions, for commercial, system, security, legal or regulatory reasons and we will give you reasonable notice of such changes. If such changes mean that the services we provide to you are substantially varied to your detriment you may cancel your agreement with us.
If you have any concerns about your driving tuition or GSM, which cannot be resolved with your Instructor, please contact the complaints and complience officer, in writing at our head office.
These terms and conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
