These Terms and Conditions govern the driving tuition services provided to you (the "Learner"). By booking a lesson, you agree to be bound by the following provisions.

---

1. Lesson Logistics and Attendance

• Location:
  Lessons shall commence and conclude at the pre-determined pick-up and drop-off points established at the time of booking.
• Punctuality:
  Learners must be ready to commence the lesson 10 minutes prior to the scheduled start time.
• Late Arrivals:
  If the Learner is not present at the agreed time, the instructor will wait for a maximum of 10 minutes. This waiting time may be deducted from the total lesson duration. Arrivals exceeding this 10-minute window may result in lesson cancellation at the instructor's discretion, and the full lesson fee will apply.
• Minimum Duration:
  The standard and minimum duration for any driving lesson is one hour.

2. Learner Requirements and Conduct

• Licensing:
  Learners must hold a valid Australian driving license (Class C) or an equivalent overseas license. This license must be carried physically at all times during the lesson.
• Electronic Devices:
  Mobile phones must be switched off prior to entering the training vehicle.
• Compliance:
  Learners must follow all instructions and directions provided by the instructor immediately and without exception.
• Physical Contact:
  To ensure safety or to demonstrate specific steering methods, the instructor may make contact with the Learner’s hand (with prior permission or as an emergency measure to prevent an accident).

3. Right to Terminate

The instructor reserves the right to terminate a lesson immediately, without refund, if the Learner:

1. Engages in reckless or dangerous behavior.
2. Fails to comply with instructor directions or license conditions (e.g., failure to wear required corrective lenses).
3. Is deemed unfit or unsafe to operate a motor vehicle.
4. Fails to maintain a reasonable standard of personal hygiene or professional manners.

4. Fees, Cancellations, and Rescheduling

• Notice Period:
  A minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule a lesson without incurring a fee.
• Late Cancellations & No-Shows:
  Cancellations made within 24 hours of the appointment, or failure to attend a scheduled lesson ("No Show"), will result in a charge of the full lesson fee.
• Driving Tests:
  If a driving test is cancelled due to the Learner failing to provide necessary documentation, the Learner remains liable for the full test fee.

5. Privacy, Data, and Marketing

• Data Retention:
  We are required to retain personal data (name, DOB, license number, address, and lesson plans) for a period of 5 years for auditing and reporting purposes. This information is confidential and will not be shared with third parties without written consent.
• Marketing:
  By agreeing to these terms, the Learner grants permission for their photograph to be used on social media, websites, and other promotional materials.
• Analytics:
  We may use third-party platforms to track generic, non-identifiable website interactions to improve our services.

6. Acknowledgements and Liability

• Risk:
  The Learner acknowledges that operating a motor vehicle is inherently risky and may result in injury or property damage.
• Liability:
  We accept no liability for personal property left in the training vehicle.
• Discretion:
  The instructor maintains sole discretion regarding the commencement or continuation of any lesson.
• Guarantees:
  Participation in lessons does not guarantee that a Learner will pass a formal driving test.
