Student Driving Agreement & Waiver of Liability

1. General Terms

1.1 This agreement is legally binding. By registering, the student (or their legal guardian) confirms they have read, understood, and accepted all terms and conditions, and agree to enter into a binding service agreement with the School.
1.2 The student agrees to provide necessary personal information for scheduling and internal use. The School commits to safeguarding such information and not using it for any unrelated purpose.

2. Service Period

2.1 All services become effective only after full payment is received and must be scheduled in advance.
2.2 All courses—including the Pre-Licensing Course, Road Test Packages, and other bundled services—are valid for one (1) year from the date of registration. Expired services are forfeited.
2.3 If the student provides their own Pre-Licensing Course certificate, the service period still begins from the date of registration.

3. Course Purchase & Transfer

3.1 All purchases are final and non-refundable, but courses may be transferred to another individual within the valid period.
3.2 The student must provide the transferee’s information. If unused courses are not transferred or used within 1 year + 3 months from the registration date, they will be forfeited automatically.
3.3 Courses cannot be exchanged for cash or extended beyond their original validity period.
3.4 The School is only responsible for courses purchased through our official website (https://www.hpdriving.net) or through official customer service. The School is not liable for any purchases or arrangements made through other channels or individuals.

4. Scheduling & Cancellation

4.1 All lessons require advance booking. To cancel, students must notify both the instructor and customer service at least 24 hours in advance in writing (text or email accepted). Late cancellations or verbal notices will be treated as no-shows and charged accordingly.
4.2 In emergencies, valid proof such as a doctor’s or school note may be submitted. Without such documentation, the missed lesson will result in a partial deduction (typically 50% of the lesson).

5. Road Test Arrangement & Risk Acknowledgment

5.1 The School may assist with scheduling DMV road tests and provide rental vehicles and test-day support. If the student books their own test independently, the School is not obligated to provide rental or escort services.

5.2 If a student chooses to use their own vehicle for the exam, they must make their own arrangements for an accompanying person (i.e., an escort) on the day of the test, as the school’s instructors will not provide this service. Even when using a personal vehicle, any exam appointment made through the school will still count as one official test attempt and will be considered a service provided by the school.
5.3 Students must bring their Pre-Licensing Certificate, learner permit, and corrective eyewear if applicable. Minors must submit a signed parental consent form. The student is solely responsible for any test failure due to missing documents, poor preparation, or tardiness.
5.4 The School does not provide pick-up/drop-off service on road test day. Students must arrive at the test site at least 30 minutes early.
5.5 If the instructor determines that the student is not ready for the road test and advises postponement, but the student insists on taking the test, all consequences (including test failure or accidents) are the student’s full responsibility, and the School and instructor shall bear no liability.

6. Student Conduct & Safety

6.1 Students must not consume alcohol, medication, or any substances that may impair driving ability before or during class. Instructors have the right to cancel the lesson on the spot and deduct the session.
6.2 The School strives to maintain high-quality services. Feedback is welcome via our website or customer service.
6.3 Tipping instructors is optional and entirely voluntary. It is not required or expected by the School.

7. Force Majeure

In the event of inclement weather, DMV schedule changes, vehicle emergencies, staff unavailability, or other unforeseen circumstances, the School may reschedule lessons or road tests. The School is not responsible for any resulting inconvenience or liability.

8. Final Confirmation

By checking the agreement box or submitting registration, the student (or guardian) confirms that they have read and understood all terms of this agreement, and voluntarily accept all related risks and responsibilities. This constitutes a legally binding agreement between the student and the School.
