All the persons which are inside the Premises of „Slidinėjimo akademija“ are aware of the fact that they are in public place and no privacy guarantees are given or applicable to them.

13. Conduct of a „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ Session

o The „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ski – snowboard slopes normally provide for a maximum number of 3-4 adukt skiers or 2-3 adult snowboarders at any one time. Children can be present on the track in greater numbers, depending on the instructors experience, excersises and choice.

o Except in the event of a private hire of a slope, skiers and snowboarders will normally not be allowed on the slope at the same time.

o In any one Session, Participants are normally divided into 2 groups with each group having approximately 30 minutes of Slope Time. Slope Time may be divided into 2 periods of 15 minutes or 3 periods of 10 minutes or a combination making up approximately 30 minutes.

o Prior to a Session, the „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ instructor will meet with each Participant and make sure that he/she understands what that person’s objectives are for the upcoming Session. „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ endeavours to ensure that all Participants skiing / snowboarding together within a Session are reasonably compatible as to age and proficiency but Purchasers and Participants must accept that there will be occasions when the comparability of Participants on the slope at the same time may not be perfect.

o Following a Session, the „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ instructor should summarise the progress made by the Participant and agree what proficiency level that Participant has reached. The instructor will also advise what additional steps could be taken by the Participant to achieve his/her objectives.

14. Booking of ski – snowboard Sessions

o All ski or snowboard Sessions must have been paid for in advance. You will not be allowed to ski or snowboard without having paid in full unless expressly stated otherwise by „Slidinėjimo Akademija“.

o No person will be allowed to ski or snowboard without having agreed to the Company’s Terms & Conditions and having signed a Disclaimer Form. All mandatory fields on the Disclaimer Form must have been completed. In the case of a skier or snowboarder under the age of 18 years, the Disclaimer Form must be signed by that person’s parent, guardian or a person responsible for the time being of that child in presence of one of the members of „Slidinėjimo Akademija“.

o All prices include the use of skis or snowboard and boots. Participants may use their own boots but they are required to use the skis or snowboards provided by „Slidinėjimo Akademija“.

o Helmets must be worn by any child under the age of 18. For any person of older age, „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ strongly recommends the wearing of a helmet but it is not mandatory. Persons who decide not to wear a helmet accept that any injury caused by the lack of a helmet being worn is entirely their own responsibility.

o Any purchase of a Slot which is not immediately scheduled to a specific Session will be issued in the form of a Voucher which will show a unique reference and a clearly stated expiry date. Vouchers are usually issued with an expiry date 9 months from the date of issue. However, in certain circumstances, „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ reserves the right to vary this period. All Vouchers must be used prior to that date or they will be forfeited. „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ may offer to extend the voucher valid period through the payment of an extension fee, the price of which is shown on our website.

15. Advance bookings

o Advanced booking is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment. In making multiple advance bookings, a Customer needs to be aware of his/her potential to progress in terms of his/her proficiency. It is a key aim of „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ that Participants in a Group within a Session should be of a similar proficiency. In making forward bookings in a „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ centre or on the telephone, a progression assumption can be made through discussion and/or with knowledge of the Participant’s capabilities. In this circumstance, „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ reserves the right to be the final arbiter. When making a forward booking through „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ online booking system (if available), an assumption of progression of 1 Level after every 2 Sessions is made. „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ advises Customers not to make more than 3 forward bookings at any one time.

o In the event that a Participant progresses to a higher Level more quickly than was anticipated, it is then the responsibility of the Participant to decide whether to change Session to one which now matches his proficiency level. „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ accepts Participants of a higher proficiency may join a Group of a lower Level on the understanding that that Group will be taught at its designated Level. If the Participant decides he/she wishes to move to another Group of his now achieved proficiency, then the Participant accepts the risk that there may not be an available suitable Session at a time of his choosing. In the event of such a change of booking being made, „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ will not impose a Change charge.

o In the event that the Participant progresses more slowly than has been anticipated when making forward bookings, „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ reserves the right to move the Participant to a Session of the right Proficiency Level. In this event, the Participant accepts that „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ has the right to make such a change and that it might not be easy to find a new Session that is convenient for him/her. In the event of such a change of booking being made, „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ will not impose a Change charge.

16. Discounted products & vouchers

o Any purchases of Sessions, Slots or Vouchers at the discounted “child’s” price may only be used by persons of the designated age. Likewise, any purchases of Sessions, Slots or Vouchers at “off peak” prices may only be used during those times designated as such by the Company. Conversely, Sessions, Slots or Vouchers purchased at the adult price may be used by a child; and a Session, Slot or Voucher purchased for “any time” may be used in off peak times. Off peak times will be stated on our website: „Slidinėjimo Akademija“. o Please note that special offers may not be used in conjunction with any other special offer or discount. o With regard to vouchers sold through third party agencies, such as LaisvalaikioDovanos.lt, the holder of such vouchers must present the original voucher from the said agency printed out in order for it to be exchanged for a valid „Slidinėjimo Akademija“ Voucher.
