Your purchase of this ticket acknowledges your agreement to these Terms & Conditions
Terms & Conditions
REFUND POLICY
There are NO refunds. Very simply, you are buying a ticket for a reserved seat at a particular event at a particular date and time, and just like concert tickets or show tickets, they are non-refundable. By registering for a class you are reserving a seat in a particular class for a particular day and time. When you register and pay for your class, it means you have reserved a seat in a specific class. You are expected to be at your class for those dates and times. Your registration and course fee does not give you a seat in future classes, it does not add your name to a new roster nor does it reschedule you into another date if you should miss or be late for any part of your original course. It is your responsibility to make sure you arrive where you need to be, before class begins. Due to variables beyond our control, such as weather, some course times may need to be extended. Allow additional time in your course schedule in case a session runs later than scheduled. Class hours may be extended or adjusted during any session. We ask that you do not commit to any other appointments on the days or evenings of your scheduled classes.
ATTENDANCE/LATENESS POLICY
There is no time in these classes to review missed material. Classes start promptly, it is your responsibility to arrive for class at least 15 minutes before the stated class time. Being late to the start of any portion of the course, may result in you being dropped from the course without refund.
CANCELLATION POLICY
GeorgiaMotorcycleRiders.com reserves the right to cancel any and all classes. We must have a minimum of 5 students per class to hold a class. In rare cases it may be necessary for us to cancel a class. In these cases, we will make a reasonable attempt to find alternative meeting times, dates and/or locations for affected students but cannot guarantee we will be able to accommodate everyone. If GeorgiaMotorcycleRiders.com cancels or reschedules a course, you may choose to reschedule or receive a refund as long as a class has not begun. If GeorgiaMotorcycleRiders.com has to reschedule after a class begins, the student will only be allowed to reschedule. We will not pay for or reimburse students for any incidental or consequential expenses or damages related to the cancellation or rescheduling of their class.
RESCHEDULING POLICY
You may reschedule your class up to 20 calendar days before your class starts without having to purchase a new registration. A $20 rescheduling fee will apply for changes before the 20 day period. Rescheduling between 19 and 14 days before the scheduled start of your class will require a $75 rescheduling fee.
Thirteen (13) days and closer to your class there are no refunds or reschedules and you forfeit the price of your ticket. If attempting to reschedule after the 13th day before your class, and if the class is sold out and we have a waiting list, then we may, but are not obligated to, help you sell your spot in the class. If we do resell your ticket there will be a $75 rescheduling fee applied to your rescheduling credit. You will only be allowed to reschedule and there are no refunds.
COUNSELING OUT OF CLASS POLICY
Motorcycling is not for everyone. The course is conducted at a pace that results in successful completion for most novice riders. The Coaches will help you learn to the best of your ability. However, if you have significant difficulty or become a risk to yourself or others, as determined by you or your coach, you will not be permitted to continue to ride. Some students may discover this for themselves during the course. At other times, struggling or uncertain students may be counseled out and unable to continue in the riding sessions. Our trained coaches are required to maintain the safety of all participants. Any student creating an unsafe condition, as determined by the coaches, will not be allowed to continue in the course. There are NO refunds or reschedules available for non-completion of the course.
NO GUARANTEE OF LICENSE
Although successful completion of a GMSP-approved course currently serves to waive the DDS riding skill test and knowledge test, GeorgiaMotorcycleRiders.com does not guarantee that completion of our program will ensure that the individual will be issued a license in the State of Georgia. This means that if you sucessfully complete the requirements of our course we will issue you a Georgia DDS Motorcycle Safety Program Waiver card showing you sucessfully completed the course. When taken to the DDS office they should reissue your driver license with the motorcycle endorsement and without you having to take their written and riding exam assuming you are qualified to have or are qualified to continue to have a license in the state of Georgia. The State of Georgia has the final say in issuing any and all license.
STUDENTS UNDER THE AGE OF 18
If a student is under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian MUST accompany the student to the first class meeting to sign a waiver form. Students under the age of 18 will NOT be allowed to attend unless a parent or legal guardian is present at the first classroom session (NO EXCEPTIONS). Students under the age of 18 that successfully complete the Basic RiderCourse earn a 90-day License Waiver. However, to get their license, the student must be at least 17 years of age BEFORE the 90-day waiver expires. They must also comply with the requirements of Joshua’s Law.
INTENTIONAL UNSAFE ACT
Please note that unsafe acts will result in the dismissal of the student without refund.

Waiver and General Release of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19
The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is reported to be extremely contagious. The state of medical knowledge is evolving, but the virus is believed to spread from person-to-person contact and/or by contact with contaminated surfaces and objects, and even possibly in the air. People reportedly can be infected and show no symptoms and therefore spread the disease. The exact methods of spread and contraction are unknown, and there is no known treatment, cure, or vaccine for COVID-19. Evidence has shown that COVID-19 can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illness and even death.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK: I have read and understood the above warning concerning COVID-19. I hereby choose to accept the risk of contracting COVID-19 for myself, and for my family members or others who I may expose, in order to participate in the Course. These services are of such value to me that I accept the risk of being exposed to, contracting, and/or spreading COVID-19 in order to participate in the Course.
WAIVER OF LAWSUIT/LIABILITY: I hereby forever release and waive my right to bring suit against the Released Parties in connection with exposure, infection, and/or spread of COVID-19 related to my participation in
the Course. I understand that this waiver means I give up my right to bring any claims including for personal injuries, death, disease or property losses, or any other loss, including but not limited to claims of negligence, and give up any claim I may have to seek damages, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen.
OTHER TERMS: I fully understand and agree that (a) this Release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State in which the Course is conducted; (b) if any portion of this Agreement is for any reason held invalid or legally unenforceable, then the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full force and legal effect; and (c) I have had the opportunity to ask any questions about this Agreement and I fully understand its terms and meaning.
