TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE

Last Updated: September 2026

Please read these Terms and Conditions ("Terms") carefully before booking any services through our platform. By checking the box "I agree to the Terms and Conditions" at checkout, you ("the Client") enter into a legally binding agreement with Ski Resort Lessons ("the Company").

1. Nature of the Service

The Company operates exclusively as an online booking and marketing platform that connects independent winter sports instructors ("Independent Instructors") with clients.

  • No Employment Relationship: The Company does not employ, manage, or supervise the Independent Instructors. Instructors are independent contractors who retain full control over how they conduct their sessions.
  • No School Status: The Company is not a licensed ski or snowboard school and does not provide direct athletic instruction.

2. Assumption of Risk and Physical Safety

The Client acknowledges that skiing, snowboarding, and all winter sports involve inherent risks of severe physical injury, disability, or death.

  • Voluntary Participation: The Client voluntarily chooses to participate in these activities and assumes all risks associated with them, including but not limited to terrain conditions, weather, equipment failure, and collisions.
  • Medical Fitness: The Client certifies that they are physically fit and have no medical conditions that would prevent safe participation in winter sports.

3. Release of Liability and Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Client agrees to RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE Ski Resort Lessons, its owners, officers, and agents from any and all liability, claims, or demands arising out of bodily injury, property damage, or wrongful death occurring during or in connection with the session.

  • Third-Party Acts: The Company shall not be held liable for any negligent acts, omissions, or misconduct committed by the Independent Instructors or any third party on the mountain.

4. Resort Rules and Compliance

  • Compliance with Mountain Policy: The Independent Instructor and the Client are solely responsible for knowing and complying with all local rules, safety codes, and regulations of the specific ski resort where the session takes place.
  • Lift Tickets and Equipment: Lift tickets, passes, and equipment rentals are NOT included in the platform's booking fee. The Client must secure their own valid mountain access. The Company is not responsible if a resort denies access to the Client or the Instructor for any reason.

5. Payment Structure and Split Fees

  • Booking Fee: The amount paid by the Client through the Company's platform (typically 50% of the total estimated cost) represents a non-refundable service and reservation fee ("Booking Fee"). This fee strictly covers the platform's connection, marketing, and scheduling services.
  • Direct Instructor Payment: The remaining balance (the remaining 50%) is due and payable directly from the Client to the Independent Instructor at the time of the session, in cash or through any direct payment method agreed upon between the Client and the Instructor.
  • Independent Transaction: The Company does not collect, process, or guarantee the second installment of the payment. The Company shall not be responsible for any payment disputes, lack of cash, or pricing disagreements arising directly between the Client and the Independent Instructor.

6. Third-Party Links and Affiliate Disclosure

Our platform may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services (including travel insurance providers such as World Nomads and equipment rental operators). The Company may earn an affiliate commission on qualifying bookings or purchases made via these links at no extra cost to the Client. The Company does not control, supervise, or assume liability for third-party policies, coverage, terms, or services.

7. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Uruguay, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal action, dispute, or claim arising from or relating to this agreement must be filed exclusively in the competent courts of Montevideo, Uruguay.
