Terms & Conditions

Swiss Ski School Stoos (SSSS)

 

By booking any service offer, the guest acknowledges these General Terms and Conditions of SSSS as obliging for reservations made by/for him as well as for third parties. Unless explicitly agreed otherwise, the General Terms and Conditions of SSSS shall apply to all transactions between SSSS and the customer.

 

Contractual relationship

In case of a personal booking on site, the purchase of a ticket establishes a contractual relationship. In all other cases, e.g. telephone, SMS, e-mail, online reservation, a written confirmation by e-mail to SSSS is mandatory for the acceptance of the reservation request.

The costs of all bookings must be paid prior to the start of the first activity.

The lessons will be held at all weather conditions for as long as cable cars and lifts are in operation.

Having entered a contract SSSS reserves the right to adapt or cancel the program or specific parts of it due to adverse weather conditions, nature occurrences or other unforeseeable circumstances, e. g. failure of the cable car(s), lift facilities, force majeure, measures taken by the authorities, safety measures or other risks. If lessons are cancelled for any of those reasons, no refund will be made.

The SSSS tickets are personally and not transferable. The use of the lifts, etc. is not included in it. There is no entitlement to a refund for lost lesson time caused by failures of the cable cars and lifts. Losses of this kind will neither be compensated nor refunded by SSSS.

 

Group lessons

Five people minimum. If this minimum number is not reached, or if the group is reduced to 3 participants, SSSS reserves the right to merge them or to shorten the time of lessons. Ski instructors can be replaced at any time. Both children older than 6 years and adults must be in possession of a valid lift pass. (not included in the price for the lesson).

 

Private tuition

SSSS guarantees reservations subject to full payment prior to closing the office the day prior the lesson.

 

Swiss Snow League Test

On Friday the children will be tested and awarded subject to having passed the test and having attended the lessons during at least 4 days or 4 x 2 hours of private tuition. The award will be handed out subject to passing the test!

 

Insurance

The guest is not insured by SSSS. SSSS rejects any liability for accidents before, during and after the lesson. Both accident and liability insurances are within the responsibility of the guest. An insurance covering the risk of cancellation is recommended.

 

Reimbursement

Compensation of cancelled lessons due to injury or illness is possible with a valid medical certificate. Only the difference will be refunded. A transfer or credit to next season is not possible. The refund will be made in cash and can only be collected at the offices of SSSS.

In the event of cancellation of lessons due to force majeure such as storms, danger of avalanches, and so on, no refund will be made. We recommend that guests seek cover by an insurance company.

 

Unavailability due to accident or illness

Costs of a course booked by the guest, which he cannot or only partially be attend due to an accident or illness, will only be reimbursed by SSSS after the presentation of a valid medical certificate. (Calculation: rate per missed day minus administration fee of CHF 30.00 per booking).

Firm reservations of private lessons are to be cancelled at the office at least 48 hours prior to the start of the lesson. Cancellations less than 48 hours prior to the lesson are chargeable at the full rate.

The guests will have no entitlement to claim any refund from SSSS in case of late arrival and/or premature departure. Lessons or group courses which are up and running will be charged in full.

The snow sports instructors wait no longer than 15 minutes at the agreed meeting point.

Our instructors teach in all weather conditions, subject to safety being guaranteed during the lessons.
