TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PURCHASING LESSONS OR PRODUCTS AND JUST BROWSING


Welcome to Skate Now.

In these terms, we also refer to Skate Now as “our”, “we, or “us”.

And you are you!


What are these terms about?

These terms apply when you use this website, skate-now.com.au and any other websites we operate with the same domain name and a different extension (“Website”).

These terms also apply when you purchase lessons (“Lessons”) or products (“Products”) through this Website. Students who attend Lessons will be referred to in this agreement as “Participants”.

If you have any questions about our Lessons or Products, you can contact us any time at skatenow@outlook.com.au or through the “Contact” page on our Website.


How do I read these terms?

We separated these terms into three parts, so they are easy to read and understand.

Those parts are:

  • Part A: Terms for when you purchase Lessons or Products (applies when you buy)
  • Part B: Terms for when you browse and interact with this Website (applies when you browse)
  • Part C: Liability and warranties, and interpretation provisions (applies to both buying and browsing)

Please let us know if you have any questions about these terms, and don’t continue using this Website or purchase any Lessons or Products unless you have read and agree to these terms.


I’ve returned to your Website, do I need to read these terms again?

Once you place an Order, the terms accepted at the point of sale will apply to your purchase of those Products or Lessons. However, please note that we may change any part of these terms at any time by updating this page of the Website, so you may find that different terms apply next time you use this Website or purchase Products or Lessons. You can check the date at the top of this page to see when we last updated these terms.
