ARTICLE I – SERVICES

All of the Les Gets Bike School instructors have undertaken state-accredited training and their teaching methods are recognised both nationally and internationally. Our services are provided for both individuals and for groups. In order for the lessons to be successful, the competence level of all of the bikers participating in them will need to be of the same standard. Given that it would be impossible from a practical point of view for the Les Gets Bike School instructors to assess the standard of each pupil prior to registration, the latter will be solely responsible for the technical choice that he has selected in accordance with the table provided by the Les Gets Bike School Accordingly, the Les Gets Bike School retains the right to move the biker from one group to another group which is more suitable for his standard if his said standard does not reflect that previously stated by him to be correct, but, this can only occur when and if the other groups have capacity to accommodate him. In this respect, the biker in question will not be able to claim either any reimbursement or any other type of compensation as regards his statement. Learning to bike will take place in a specific but random environment. Accordingly, the pupil will be personally liable for his own safety and also for that of any third parties. The instructor’s liability will be limited to facilitating bike lessons. It is the responsibility of the pupil to follow the instructor’s instructions. The pupil will be solely liable for his own equipment. The Les Gets Bike School will not be liable for any accidents caused by any of the bikers participating in the lesson.
