Your safety is our concern but your responsibility. No insurance coverage is provided by Dirt Skills. If you wish to obtain private insurance coverage, this should be done before participating in any activities with Dirt Skills.

Riders will not be able to participate unless a completed Dirt Skills waiver is received prior to their first session.

Riders give permission to be photographed or video recorded during lessons, events or programs run by Dirt Skills. Images may be used on the Dirt Skills website or social media. If you do not give permission, it is your responsibility to inform Dirt Skills staff.

Dirt Skills reserve the right to reschedule sessions if ride conditions are unsafe. You will be provided with as much notice as possible if changes to your booking are required.

 

Rescheduling Private Sessions:

With more than 24 hours notice your session can be rescheduled. If this is necessary, please contact Cameron on 0439 664 558 or email cameron@dirtskills.com.au to arrange a credit or organise an alternative session time.

No rescheduling options are provided within 24 hours of your session time. With less than 24 hours notice, session fees will be forfeited.

 

Group Ride Make Up Sessions:

Make up sessions will be offered whenever unsafe riding conditions make it necessary to cancel a scheduled session. Should a rider be unable to attend this session there is no guarantee that another option will be offered.

If Dirt Skills cannot offer an alternative session, fees for that session will be carried over to another group program.

 

Absence From Group Rides:

Notification of absence is required before the ride commences, please provide as much notice as possible. If there is space available in another suitable group, we will offer an alternate session time. If no notice is received, you will forfeit that ride.

Dirt Skills has no obligation to offer make-up lessons in the event of illness, injury, school camps, or other activities which may prevent you from attending your class. However, if there is a space in another suitable group it will be offered to you.
