I, the driving student or Parent/Guardian of the driving student (if under 18), hereby acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions as a prerequisite to participating in driving lessons with St. Charles County Driving School, LLC, hereinafter referred to as SCCDS:
1. Assumption of Risk: I understand and acknowledge that driving instruction involves inherent risks, including but not limited to the risk of property damage, bodily injury, or death. I voluntarily assume all such risks associated with participating in driving lessons.
2. Release of Liability: In consideration of being permitted to participate in driving lessons, I hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue SCCDS, its instructors, employees, agents, and affiliates (collectively referred to as "Released Parties"), from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, or causes of action arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury, including but not limited to bodily injury, property damage, or death, that may be sustained by me, my child/family member or any third party as a result of participating in driving lessons, whether caused by the negligence of the Released Parties or otherwise.
3. Indemnification: I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, or proceedings, as well as any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by the Released Parties, arising out of or related to mine or my child/family members participation in driving lessons or any breach of this waiver.
4. Insurance: I understand that it is my responsibility to provide vehicle insurance for the vehicle driven by the student during lessons, in accordance with RSMo. 303.024.
5. Medical Authorization: In the event of any injury or medical emergency that may occur during my participation in driving lessons, I authorize SCCDS and its instructors to seek and obtain medical treatment on my behalf, including but not limited to administering first aid, calling emergency medical services, and transporting me to a medical facility, at my expense.
6. Photographic Release: I grant SCCDS the right to take photographs and/or videos of me, the student and/or the vehicle being driven by the student during driving lessons and to use such materials for promotional or educational purposes without compensation to me. I understand none of the photographs will contain personal identifying information such as name, address or license plates.
7. Binding Effect: This waiver shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, and shall be interpreted according to the laws of the State of Missouri.
8. Severability: If any provision of this waiver is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired in any way.
9. Payment: Payment for each lesson is due 48 hours after booking. Payment forms include Venmo, CASH App, or credit/debit card. I understand credit/debit cards will be charged a surcharge for processing. If other form of payment is requested, this must be approved prior to scheduling.
10. Cancellation Policy: Notification for cancellation/reschedule request must be made 7 days prior to the scheduled lesson in order to receive a full refund. Cancelation of less than 7 days, but greater than 48 hours will receive a refund minus $80.00, and less than 48 hours will receive no refund. In the case of emergencies or activity conflict (i.e. sports, extra curriculars), fees may be waived with permission from the Lead Instructor.
Parent/Legal Guardian (if student under 18):
