Furthermore you may be precluded for safety or legal reasons from attending other booked sessions near in date and again no refund can be offered.
Checking details: It is the customer’s responsibility to review and check their course dates/details and any amendments that may be made. For the duration of their training the customer will allow suitable channels of communication should it be necessary to advise them of changes to their training or to verify information that is needed for them to take test or attend a training session. When a customer makes a booking or has an amendment to their course it is their responsibility to note and verify that event.

The instructor as a licensed DSA assessor has final decision in this matter.
Safety understanding and risk: CAM Rider will take all steps to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable course. However riding a motorcycle on or off road carries a degree of risk of injury or even fatality and customers are asked to act responsibly and safely. CAM Rider and our instructors cannot accept liability or be subject to any claim for any injury or accident you may suffer whilst riding independently or accompanied.

You may be turned away from training and tests if clothing or footwear is deemed unsuitable by instructors or examiners. No refund for missed training or tests will be given.
Cancellations and rescheduling: CAMRider require sufficient notice to cancel or reschedule training courses or elements of a course. Notice to reschedule must be given directly to a CAMRider Sales Advisor. Notice of cancelation MUST be given in writing to a CAMRider Sales Advisor. Notice of cancellation/reschedulement is required as follows: – DSA tests = 10 clear working days – Training sessions & CBT’s = 7 clear working days

Cooling off period: You may receive a refund for cancelling within 7 working days of booking, providing notice is received in writing at our head office booking centre and your training does not start within that 7 working day period. If training starts within 7 working days of booking no refunds are given.
Courses without dates allocated: Refunds can be given for parts of courses where dates have never been allocated unless the sale offer stated otherwise. Should a training session or test be cancelled by the DSA or for weather/safety matters, we will as a matter of goodwill provide a reschedule for that date for no extra charge, but no refund is due for that session or test from that date on. No refund or reschedule is due or provided if the session is lost due to the customer not attending, attending late or failing to comply with DSA requirements. You are required to take any training without dates allocated within one year of the purchase date. CAMRider cannot carry over training or refund any courses after this time and you will be required to pay again for any further training.
No fault non attendance: Should you be ill, injured or suffer any extenuating personal circumstances that precludes you from attending a course you have booked or in giving insufficient notice to cancel, you will still be required to pay the fee for the training and no refunds can be offered. CAMRider will as a matter of goodwill give receipt of your course and confirm non attendance so you may claim against any insurance you may have. CAMRider does not provide or offer any insurance for such circumstances.
Pass Guarantee: Courses with a “Pass Guarantee” require full attendance on each specified date. The guarantee is invalid if you do not attend (in full) a training event that is part of your course, or recommended as such, and you will be required to pay the full session fee from that point on for any further training. You will need to attend all recommended sessions and refunds cannot be given if you decide to cease training. Candidates cannot have a return session to complete a CBT if more than 3 weeks have elapsed between their last date of attendance. A full CBT at standard price will be required if you leave the training program for more than this period.
Special offers: Some courses may be sold on special offers and have specific terms and conditions stated in the Offer of Sale. These if so stated will override terms given here.
Gift certificates: Refunds are only offered up to 14 days from date of purchase so long as no dates have been allocated that start within seven working days notice. Any refund made must be to the original purchaser/card holder. Customers may use their certificate as part payment against courses of a higher value. Gift certificates are valid solely for one year from date of issue and are sold on the condition that they are non refundable and are to be used to take training only within the valid dates. Please refer to you certificate for the specific additional terms and conditions.
CAMRider/DSA cancellation or rescheduling of courses/sessions: CAM Rider and the DSA reserve the right to alter course and test dates/times without notice. In the event that a training date or test has to be rescheduled due to adverse weather conditions or any extenuating circumstance, it will be rescheduled for the next available date. Refunds or compensation cannot be given for dates that require reschedulement, regardless of circumstance.
Additional charges for DSA Examiner test cancellations: If a test is cancelled by the DSA due to Examiner equipment failure or their illness, there will be no charge for rescheduling the test or training session accompanying the test. However, if the DSA cancels the test due to weather conditions the customer will need to pay for any time used during the accompanying session to pay for their instructors’ time and use of equipment and facility.

NB: Definition of working days notice: Working days are classed as Monday to Friday and do not include Bank Holidays. Working days notice means allowing us at least the specified full working day(s) notice so as to reschedule. Notice must be given in a manner sufficient to be properly recorded and acted upon. i.e. telephone call and email direct to a Sales Advisor who will note the event on our computer systems. E.g. If 7 working days notice is required, and written notice is received on a Monday, then this would be sufficient for a course or session on the Thursday of the following week (7 full working days in between) so long as there are no bank holidays in the notice period.
