Drivers Domain UK – Terms & Conditions. Partner Sellers.
This contract is between Zinc e-Consulting Ltd t/a Drivers Domain UK.com (“us”, “we” and “our”) and you as a private individual taking driver training or business including employees/directors (“you” or “your”) and governs the terms and conditions for the supply of our services.
We reserve the right to change or supplement these terms and conditions without liability, including, without limitation, the course fees, format of courses, and payment terms.
Our terms and conditions apply to all our services offered. It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with all relevant terms and conditions. These terms and conditions apply to Zinc e-Consulting Ltd t/a Drivers Domain UK, Suite 3 High Street Chambers, 10/11 High Street, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY1 1SP, and are subject to English Law.
Payment Terms:
Payment for a course or courses need to be made in full before the training can start. Unless specifically stated before the course in writing – all training will take place in your own vehicle. Upon attending any of our courses all drivers must be able to produce a valid driving licence that can be legally used in the UK at the time of the advanced driving course unless otherwise agreed.
If you provide an illegal vehicle or inadequate driving documents your tutor reserves the right to cancel the course and you will not be eligible for a refund. The tutor also reserves the right to stop the course immediately if they feel under threat in any way during the course. You must adhere to The Highway Code at all times and always drive to the best of your ability during the course.
Tutors:
Whilst we take every care in choosing suitably qualified tutors, we will not be held responsible for any damage, injury or losses which result during the course due to the negligence of yourself, another driver, pedestrian or your tutor. All tutors we supply are hired on a freelance basis and are not employees of Zinc eConsulting Ltd
All our tutors are on the Register of Approved Driving Instructors with the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency). By being on this register allows them to legally be paid for driver training. It is illegal for anyone who is not on this register to be paid for any form of on-road driver training.
Insurance:
It is your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is adequately insured whilst you are receiving driver training with us. We would strongly recommend you contact your insurance company and check with them that you are fully insured when receiving professional driver training. We will not be held responsible for any damage, injury or losses, which arise from inadequate or invalid motor insurance before, during or after any driver training.
Reorganising a Course:
If your tutor cancels due to illness you will have to reorganise an alternative date and time.
Your tutor will make a decision on conducting the course in adverse weather. If the tutor deems it not safe to conduct the course (such as but not limited to, snow, wind or rain), the course will need to be rearranged at a mutually agreed date and time. No refunds are given for the postponement of courses due to adverse weather.
Reorganising Booked Courses – Should you wish to rearrange a driving course date, for whatever reason you do need to give 10 days notice. Less than 10 days you will need to pay the full amount or an additional fee to cover 1. Admin expenses, 2. Our tutor’s training fee. To ensure we attract and retain the best tutors, we protect them from alterations of 10 days or less. Our tutors are freelance, and so we are obliged to pay them for a booked course unless we cancel them with more than 10 days notice. They are in demand and so would have turned away other work for a training slot. If a client wishes to rebook a course, we will have to pay our tutor again for their time.
Cancellations/Refunds:
If you cannot attend the course for whatever reason or you wish to cancel, you will be entitled to a full refund provided that:
A course date has not been agreed with us; and
Written notice of cancellation is received by us within fourteen days of the date of purchase
