By attending training with 1Go, each Trainee agrees understands and accepts that in order for the Trainee to attain a Compulsory Basic Training certificate (CBT), and/or prepare for the practical motorcycle test, 1Go are willing to provide training to the Trainee, including any required maneuvers at a suitable training site approved by DVSA, as well as on any public roads, in any prevailing weather conditions deemed acceptable by 1Go. In the case of CBT training, the Trainee should be satisfied with the training they have received so far and feel sufficiently competent to proceed with the fifth element involving a minimum of 2 hours riding on the public highway. In all other cases the Trainee should be satisfied with any training provided, or their own riding experience, to proceed with further training including riding on a public highway and/or preparing for any requirements of the full motorcycle test. In the case of CBT training, the Trainee should feel sufficiently competent to conduct the fifth element in the prevailing weather conditions at that time. The Trainee should also feel competent to conduct further training, including the practicing of any maneuvers required by the full motorcycle test, in the prevailing weather. By booking a course with 1Go, the Trainee confirms their wish to carry out any scooter or motorcycle training, either for CBT training or for that of the practical motorcycle test at their own risk, and accepts that such training involves a degree of risk of physical injury to themselves. As such, the Trainee agrees not to hold 1Go or any 1Go instructors liable for any injury sustained to them whilst carrying out any such training. The Trainee has also received, read and accepted the terms and conditions of any training provided to the Trainee by 1Go , including this liability disclaimer, and especially any reference to any damage deposit or damage waiver premium the Trainee has remitted to 1Go, prior to the Trainee attending any training with 1Go.
b- CBT-minimum attendance numbers. 1Go shall not run any CBT course on any date where less than two Trainees have paid and booked for training on such date. In such an event, 1Go shall contact any remaining Trainee and rearrange the CBT date accordingly.
c- Translators/third parties- In the interests of health & safety, and with respect to other Trainees attending training, 1Go will NOT permit any translator or other third party to attend any training session that the Trainee shall book, unless otherwise agreed with 1Go in writing.
d- Trainee ceases training. The Trainee has been made aware that they may elect to cease training at any time by notifying the training instructor.

The Trainee shall also be liable to remit any outstanding fees for such training to 1Go within 14 days of 1Go demanding the same.
e- Damage deposit for Compulsory Basic Training (CBT). No deposit is required, but the Trainee agrees to be responsible for any loss or damage caused to any equipment, including any bike or scooter, provided by 1Go, whilst in the Trainee’s care and control. To minimise any such cost, 1Go reserve the right to cancel the Trainee’s training at any time in accordance with paragraph 1g of these Terms and Conditions. The Trainee must pay all payments in respect of damaged equipment to 1Go within 14 days of the date of such damage occurring.
f- Damage deposit for other motorbike/scooter courses. The Trainee agrees to deposit an amount of £250 with 1Go (damage deposit). This deposit is refundable in full if the Trainee does not damage or drop the bike, on any single occasion, or collide with any object or individual, or damage any equipment lent to the Trainee by 1Go. No partial refunds of this deposit are payable by 1Go whatsoever. This damage deposit only applies to those dates agreed and stated in the confirmation, or otherwise agreed between the parties, sent to the Trainee by 1Go. Alternatively, the Trainee may pay to 1Go a non-refundable insurance excess premium of £15 for each day of training, which is also applicable for any test resit days.
g- If the Trainee is using their own bike for training, they should ensure that it is the right specification for the course being attended, including the display of two legally sized ‘L’ plates, and in a roadworthy condition as determined by 1Go and shall meet all current UK legislation requirements in force at that time. The Trainee shall bring and retain a current MOT certificate, if applicable, insurance certificate, current valid original CBT certificate and road tax for the bike being used. The Trainee’s non compliance will result in the cancellation of training and the Trainee forfeiting any monies paid to 1Go.
h- In respect of any full motorcycle test course, the Trainee shall comply with the DVSA’s requirements in respect of the wearing of ‘suitable protective clothing’ introduced on the 1st July 2011. Further information can be found on the DVSA website. 1Go cannot be liable for any test which is cancelled due to the non wearing of such suitable clothing by the Trainee and any test which is cancelled under these circumstances shall be treated as if the Trainee had failed the test by 1Go, and the Trainee will have to resit the test as stated in Paragraph 6 of these terms and conditions.
In respect of the clothing requirements for CBT training, the Trainee must be dressed appropriately for motorcycle training. Items of clothing that will be not acceptable shall include, but not be limited to, the following: T Shirts or other flimsy half or full sleeve tops, shorts or ¾ length pants, leggings or tights, flip flops, sandals or canvas footwear, or any other clothing deemed unsuitable by 1Go.
i- CBT resits.

No discounts on any such resits are offered by 1Go in any circumstances.
j- Other course resits. The fee charged for any other course resit will be notified to the Trainee by 1Go prior to any such resit being booked on behalf of the Trainee.
k- Practical Module 2 tests. The Trainee accepts that if they have booked and paid for the Module 2 test to take place within three days of their Module 1 test, and they subsequently fail their Module 1 test they will:
- Not be eligible to attend the Module 2 test.
- Not be eligible for any further training prior to the scheduled Module 2 test.
- Will not receive any refund of any fees in respect of the scheduled Module 2 training or test.
l- Trainee elects to stop training. If the Trainee elects to cease training, for any reason , after training has commenced, 1Go shall retain any fees received from the Trainee for such training. If the Trainee elects to stop training after they have attended a Module 1 test then 1Go may, at their discretion, refund the Trainee an amount not greater than the DVSA fee for the Trainees Module 2 test. However, if there are any fees outstanding to 1Go from the Trainee, at such time as the Trainee elects to cease training, then no such refund shall be made by 1Go and the Trainee must remit such outstanding fees to 1Go within 14 days of such request by 1Go to the Trainee. In any event, the Trainee must complete any full license course within 4 months of the start date of such course. Failing to do so, for whatever reason, shall result in 1Go retaining any fees paid by the Trainee.
m- Cancellation/Reschedule by the Trainee – CBT. Any cancellations or alterations to a booking must be made at least 5 clear days before the date of the course, at the latest, and will be subject to an administration fee of £30 for each place booked. The alteration of a course can only be applied once and is at the sole discretion of 1Go. Any alterations or cancellations made within 5 clear days of the date of the course will result in any fees paid for the course being retained by 1Go, and the Trainee being liable for any outstanding balance due.
n- Cancellation/Reschedule by the Trainee – Other motorcycle courses. Any cancellations or alterations to a booking must be made at least 14 clear days before the date of the course, at the latest, and will be subject to an administration fee of £50 for each place booked. The alteration of a course can only be applied once and is at the sole discretion of 1Go. Any alterations or cancellations made within 14 clear days of the date of the course will result in any deposit paid for the course being retained by 1Go. In the event of any cancellation or alteration being made within 5 clear days of the date of the course, will also result in the Trainee being liable to pay any outstanding balance in relation to the chosen course.
o- Module 1 training. The Trainee accepts that although 1Go has replicated the Module 1 training circuit from the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) as much as possible, some of these measurements may differ from those used at the DVSA’s Motorcycle Manoeuvring Area (MMA).
p- 1Go shall not be liable for any loss or damage to any of the Trainee’s personal effects at any time.
q- Extended test. In the event that a Trainee requires an extended Module 2 test, for any reason whatsoever the following shall apply. Firstly, the Trainee has the responsibility to advise 1Go of such requirement (especially in view of this information being classified as personal data, and not available for 1Go to obtain from any third party). If the Trainee fails to notify 1Go of such requirement, when they book any full license course requiring such extended test, then they shall not be able to attend any normal Module 2 test and forfeit any fees in respect of such Module 2 test. Any extended test requirements will be subject to any additional test fee charged by the DVSA, plus an extended attendance fee of £30.00 providing the time slot for the extended test suitably fits in with 1Go's training schedule and does not prevent 1Go from allowing a second Trainee to also attend a Module 2 Test Day Course at the same time. In the event of an extended test being required, the Trainee can alternatively request that 1Go exclusively provide a Module 2 Test Day course, which would normally be run on an instructor to student ratio of 1:2, and in such circumstances, the Trainee will be required to remit a fee equivalent to the space of the second Trainee's space they are occupying.
