Usk8 Lesson Terms and Conditions
Please read these terms and conditions carefully before booking a lesson. By completing a booking for any Usk8 lesson or activity (“Activity”), you (referred to as “Participant” or “You”), and if applicable, the parent or legal guardian of a minor Participant, acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these legally binding Terms and Conditions.
1. Assumption of Risks: You acknowledge and agree that participation in any and all activities associated with Usk8 lessons, including but not limited to skateboarding, use of skatepark facilities, and related activities, involves inherent and significant risks. These risks may include, by way of example and not limitation, injury or harm arising from: * Negligence or carelessness on the part of Usk8, its employees, volunteers, representatives, or agents (“Released Parties”). * Dangerous or defective equipment or property owned, maintained, or controlled by the Released Parties. * The possible liability of the Released Parties without fault. * The nature of the activity itself, which may test physical and mental limits and carries the potential for death, serious injury, and property loss. * Specific risks including, but not limited to, those caused by terrain, facilities, temperature, weather, condition of participants, equipment, vehicular traffic, lack of hydration, and actions of other people (including, but not limited to, other participants, volunteers, monitors, and/or producers of the Activity). These risks are present for all participants and volunteers. By booking, you voluntarily assume all such risks, known and unknown, associated with your participation.
2. Code of Conduct and Instructions: You agree to abide by the Usk8 Code of Conduct (available [Insert where Code of Conduct can be found – e.g., on our website / at the facility]) and to obey all verbal and written instructions from Usk8 staff and representatives. You agree to leave the skatepark or designated activity area immediately if requested to do so by Usk8 staff.
3. Waiver, Release of Liability, and Indemnification: In consideration of Usk8 permitting you to participate in the Activity, by booking this lesson, you, on behalf of yourself, your executors, administrators, heirs, next of kin, successors, and assigns: (A) WAIVE, RELEASE, AND DISCHARGE Usk8, its event holders, sponsors, organizers, employees, volunteers, representatives, and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all liability, including but not limited to, liability arising from the negligence or fault of the Released Parties, for your death, disability, personal injury, property damage, property theft, or actions of any kind which may occur to you during, or in connection with, the Activity, including your travel to and from the Activity. (B) INDEMNIFY, HOLD HARMLESS, AND AGREE NOT TO SUE the Released Parties from any and all liabilities or claims made as a result of your participation in this Activity, whether caused by the negligence of the Released Parties or otherwise. You acknowledge that the Released Parties are NOT responsible for the errors, omissions, acts, or failures to act of any party or entity conducting a specific activity on their behalf, unless such liability cannot be excluded by law.

Participant Declarations: By booking, you declare and confirm that: * You are able to understand and follow instructions. * You are physically fit and able to participate in the activities. * You have raised any concerns regarding your physical fitness or ability to participate with Usk8 staff prior to booking or the commencement of the Activity. * You are not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol that would impair your ability to participate safely or understand instructions.
5. Medical Treatment Consent: By booking, you consent to receive any medical treatment which may be deemed advisable by Usk8 staff or qualified medical personnel in the event of injury, accident, and/or illness during the Activity. This consent does not imply any duty on the part of Usk8 to provide such treatment.
6. Booking, Cancellations, and Rescheduling: * Session Confirmation: Once a session is booked, presume it will go ahead unless Usk8 contacts you. * Adverse Conditions & Minimum Numbers: Usk8 reserves the right to change the session type or cancel a session due to adverse weather conditions, inadequate or unsafe conditions, insufficient participant numbers for group lessons, or other unforeseen circumstances. * Insufficient Group Lesson Attendees: If a scheduled group lesson does not meet the minimum required number of attendees, Usk8 reserves the right to: * Cancel the lesson. In this event, affected participants will be offered a reschedule to another group lesson, a credit, or a full refund. * Alternatively, if only one participant is booked, Usk8 may, at its sole discretion, offer to convert the session into a private lesson at a specially discounted rate for that participant. The participant is under no obligation to accept this offer. * Contact & Rescheduling by Usk8: Usk8 will endeavor to contact you as soon as possible if a session needs to be cancelled or changed. Any session cancelled by Usk8 (that is not converted to a private lesson as per above) will be rescheduled to another mutually agreeable date and time, or a credit/refund may be offered at Usk8’s discretion. * Participant Cancellation: To cancel or reschedule your booking, you must provide Usk8 with at least 24 hours’ notice prior to the scheduled session start time. Failure to provide such notice may result in forfeiture of the session fee.
7. Photography and Videography: You consent to Usk8 taking photographs and/or videos during sessions. These images and recordings may be used by Usk8 free of charge for promotional purposes (including but not limited to social media, website, and print materials) and for sharing amongst participants. If you do not wish for your (or your minor child’s) image or likeness to be used for promotional purposes, you must inform Usk8 staff in writing prior to the commencement of the Activity. Usk8 will always endeavor to respect your wishes.
8. Conduct During Lessons and Post-Lesson Activity: While participating in a Usk8 lesson, you agree to listen attentively to the Usk8 instructor, make reasonable efforts to stay near the instructor and within the designated teaching area, and remain vigilant and considerate of other park users. You further acknowledge and agree that if you choose to continue practicing or using the skatepark facilities independently after your Usk8 lesson has concluded, Usk8 is not responsible or liable for any injuries, damages, or incidents that may occur during such independent activity.
9. Scope of Agreement: These Terms and Conditions shall be construed broadly to provide a release and waiver to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law.
