Terms and Conditions

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE CUSTOMER READS AND UNDERSTANDS 'THE HIGHWAY CODE' BEFORE ATTENDING MOTORCYCLE TRAINING, ESPECIALLY FOR CBT.

Bikes in Motion do not provide insurance to cover illness/personal injury or unplanned course cancellation.

Bikes in Motion advise customers make their own arrangements in relation to the above matter if they feel it is appropriate.

Although there is no excess, bikes in motion reserve the right to invoice Customers for the payment of the first £500 for any loss or damage to machines or equipment caused during training sessions, should we deem necessary. A full price list of damaged or lost items will be available on request.

Training must be paid in full when booking online, or a 50% deposit must be paid when booking via any other method with the full payment made by the first day of training in cash, credit/or debit card. Cheques will only be accepted if received & cleared by the day of training or if supported by a cheque guarantee card.

Customers must arrive on time to start their course. Latecomers will be excluded from the course and any rebooking may be subject to an additional fee.

• If the customer cancels, giving at least 21 days notice, a full refund will be made (minus a £25 Admin Fee)

It is the customers responsibility to ensure all necessary & relevant documentation is valid & remains in their possession throughout the training. i.e.:

If the customer does not provide the necessary documentation or meet the eyesight check requirements (Ability to read a vehicle registration plate at 20.5 metres or 67 ft) with or without optical aids the deposit will be forfeit & training will not be able to commence.

Customers are advised to wear suitable clothing when undertaking motorcycle training (Sturdy footwear - but it’s not advisable using steel toe capped shoes or boots). An approved safety helmet, gloves & waterproofs of average size can be supplied by bikes in motion if the customer does not supply their own. In the event of a customer being outside the range of Small to Extra large, then the customer is expected to supply their own. If a customer arrives for training without wearing appropriate clothing or supplying their own which are outside of our sizing parameters then bikes in motion reserve the right to cancel training and retain the deposit.

It is the customers responsibility to inform bikes in motion of any special needs at the time of booking training.

If it is the opinion of bikes in motion representative that the customer is under the influence of alcohol or drugs (whether prescribed or not) they reserve the right to cancel training with no refund of payment.

All training is provided at the discretion of the school & Bikes in Motion reserve the right to decline training.

Bikes in Motion will, where possible, match customers with equal skills but this is not guaranteed.

Bikes in Motion will, where possible, keep the customer on the same machine throughout their training, but this is not guaranteed.

Bikes in Motion reserve the right to halt or offer alternative training if a customer is deemed to be a hazard to themselves or other road users, any refund of fees is at the discretion of bikes in motion.

We at Bikes in Motion will not tolerate threatening or abusive behaviour in our working environment. Therefore we reserve the right to terminate the course without refund if we are subjected to this type of behaviour.
