Terms and Conditions for Gift Voucher
Contract
Young Driver is a trading name of The Young Driver Training Limited (YDT). Once YDT have received payment of your lesson, the contract for the lesson is between you and YDT.
YDT e-vouchers or printed vouchers are evidence of payment for, and entitlement to, a given lesson or gift. Each voucher carries a unique serial number, which must be quoted when dealing with YDT. Vouchers and the associated references must be kept safely and securely. YDT cannot accept responsibility for any loss you may incur as a result of voucher theft, impersonation or identity fraud. The unique serial number on the voucher should be used at the point of booking on the internet or alternatively sent to the operator if requested to secure the booking (we would recommend sending vouchers by secure mail as they are not replaceable if lost).
Restrictions
By purchasing a gift voucher from YDT, you comply with the fact that the recipient of the voucher adheres to the following regulations:
• Is between 11 – 16 years old
• Is over 1.5 metres tall
• Will be accompanied throughout their attendance by an adult over the age of 18 years
• Is in good health
• Has eyesight at least to the standard required by law for driving (i.e. can read a number plate from a distance of 20 metres)
• Does not suffer from any medical conditions that could affect the their ability to drive
If the voucher is purchased and the recipient of the voucher does not comply with these regulations, YDT cannot be expected to refund the cost of the voucher.
Lesson Descriptions, Formats and Durations
Details of lesson description, format and timings given on the YDT websites and in any other literature are intended only to present a general idea of the lesson, and shall not be considered binding. In particular, photographs are for illustrative purposes only and do not form part of any contract between you and YDT. Delays, curtailments and breakdowns are not within YDT’s control and therefore we cannot be held liable if these should occur. Please note that we reserve the right to alter any part of the lesson where such an alteration is for safety reasons or has been imposed by the venue. We cannot be held responsible for descriptions on any third party or agent sites.
Vouchers
YDT vouchers are valuable documents and cannot be replaced if they are lost, damaged or stolen and are invalid if altered or tampered with. YDT accept no liability in these circumstances. Vouchers can only be redeemed once and therefore should be kept safe and not photocopied or distributed to others as YDT accept no liability for identity fraud. All vouchers are non-refundable.
Validity
Each voucher is valid for a period of nine months from date of purchase unless otherwise stated. Lessons must be booked and undertaken prior to the nine months expiry date, otherwise the voucher will be deemed invalid and no liability will be accepted by YDT. By way of example, if a voucher is purchased on 25th February, it will be valid until 24th November, by which time the lesson must have taken place.
Extensions
Most vouchers may be extended at YDT’s absolute discretion for a period of nine months upon payment of £10.00 administration fee. This fee, along with the original voucher, must be returned to YDT for an extension to be processed. If the activity has increased in price, you will have to pay the difference between the old and the new price. Once a voucher has been extended it cannot be exchanged, refunded, or receive further extension.
Cancellation by lesson operators
If a lesson is cancelled by YDT either before or on the day of the event due to circumstances beyond their control, the operator will arrange to re-book the participant at a mutually agreed time. YDT cannot be held liable for any costs including (but not limited to) travel expenses or pre-booked accommodation costs incurred by the participant in the event of a cancellation by the operator, and YDT’s total liability for any claim in connection with a YDT lesson voucher shall be limited to the price paid for the lesson voucher.
Cancellation by participants
Once you make a booking with YDT you are bound by their terms and conditions. Please make sure you understand the rules regarding changing or cancelling a booking (particularly at short notice) as a refund will not be offered in the case of infringement of these terms and conditions. YDT’s Cancellation Indemnity policy may provide a replacement voucher in the event of cancellation by the participant owing circumstances beyond their control.
Problems on the day
We welcome your feedback on all of our lessons. If you encounter a problem on the day, please immediately bring it to the attention of the host or driving instructor at the venue so that they have a chance to put matters right. If you have attempted resolution but the problem was not resolved on the day, please write to us within one week of your lesson (providing your voucher reference, participant name and venue details, including who you spoke to on the day) and we will be happy to take the matter up with the operator on your behalf.
