1. Payment

By signing this agreement, or by online registration and/or place reservation through Y-Liman's website, the student declares to have read and accepted the general terms and conditions of the Y-Liman driving school.

All training and exam reservations must be paid in advance of the training. This can be done by bank transfer, credit card, bancontact or cash in our offices. As for practical lessons, if the student does not take the wheel during movements on public roads, those movements will not be taken into account for calculating the number of hours of lessons. However, a demonstration by the teacher of a movement to be performed is part of the lesson and does not fall under the application of this rule. No services other than those for which a rate is specified in the contract may be charged. (RD 11/04/2004 _ Recognition of driving schools).

Certificates for the collection of the (provisional) driving license will be issued only after full payment of the tuition fees.

REMEMBER: For each driving exam, the exam fee, €40.00, must be paid at the exam center. This amount is settled through the driving school and therefore must be paid before the start of the driving test.

2. Non-payment

Non-payment or late payment of the invoice gives rise, ipso jure and without prior notice, to a lump-sum increase of 20% of the amount due, in addition to the charging of statutory interest on arrears. Late payment also voids the guarantee of the appointments/dates made. Unless otherwise specified, all invoices are payable no later than 10 working days prior to the start of the scheduled training. Failure to pay an invoice no later than this due date shall render all outstanding amounts immediately due and payable, irrespective of pre-authorized payment terms.

3. Cancellation of driving lessons, theory lessons, exam guidance

In case of cancellation or rescheduling of driving lessons and theory lessons up to 5 working days and an exam guidance up to 8 working days in advance, there is no charge. In case of cancellation or rescheduling at shorter notice, full tuition is due. In case of force majeure, and this is proven (e.g. via a doctor's certificate), only half of the tuition will be charged. However, in case of cancellation or rescheduling at short notice, the examination fees are due in full since Y-Liman Driving School still owes them to the examination center. Exception: if a duo course is cancelled, the full tuition fee is always due, regardless of the cancellation period.

Y-Liman Driving School has the right to reschedule or cancel lessons and training in the event of force majeure (illness of the instructor, vehicle breakdown, weather conditions, additional exams, etc.) without giving rise to any right to compensation on the part of the student. A replacement lesson/training will always be provided.

4. Certificate of Competence

 No aptitude certificate will be issued by the driving school if the instructor judges that the student is not competent to continue the training on public roads without a guide. During the foreseen evaluation moments, the instructor will discuss the progress in the learning process with the student. For a certificate of competence, the student must have effectively followed a minimum of 20 hours of lessons.

1.  Student obligations
2. Training courses (including additional tuition) can only be booked on the website www.y-liman.com or at our offices. Booking directly with the instructor is not permitted.
3. The student is always obliged to report all relevant information regarding his provisional driving license (in particular theoretical exam, number of exam attempts and whether or not he already has a provisional driving license in the past) to Y-Liman Driving School upon registration.
4. If the student does not show up for the exam or shows up late due to causes attributable to him, he must pay all costs of the practical exam (exam guidance and exam center surcharge).
5. If the exam does not take place because the student could not present the appropriate valid documents (e.g. valid provisional driver's license, identity card, attestation of municipal administration , attestation of passing theory,…), then he will have to pay all the costs of the practical exam (exam guidance and surcharge of the exam center).
6. The student is required to be present in class on time. If the student arrives later than 15 minutes to a training course, the teacher has the right not to admit the student to the course. Leaving a course early is considered as being absent. No certificate will be issued or registration performed in this case.
7. Smoking is prohibited in the classroom vehicles. Driving with high heels is not allowed. In case the lesson cannot take place or is delayed because of this, the lesson fees will be charged.
8. The student should refrain from drug or alcohol use during class. A suspicion of alcohol use and or drugs at the start or during the theory or practical training may be cause for mandatory withdrawal from the course. The full tuition fee will remain due if applicable.
9. During the driving test, the student himself is responsible for traffic violations and the resulting fines, the instructor cannot then intervene without negatively affecting the exam evaluation.
10. Responsibility Y-Liman Driving School
11. Y-Liman Driving School cannot be held responsible if the student is refused at the exam center due to administrative problems or incorrect information.
