1. Registration and payment
With this registration, I offer conclusion of a contract between me and Martin Zawilla regarding surf lessons. Modification in the registration form and additional agreements are invalid, unless they are confirmed in writing by Martin Zawilla.
I then receive a confirmation of my registration by email which concludes the contract.
At the latest within 3 days I will transfer the amount for the surf course indicated above into the account of Martin Zawilla. In case of a booking between 1 and 7 days before beginning of courses I will transfer the amount immediately after the reception of my booking confirmation.
2. Scope of services
Scope of services is due to the current brochure or to information available at surfnsoul.com on the date of registration, errors and omission excepted. All information will be according to the current state when printing or data file creation. Putting on and taking off the wetsuit and the transport of the surfboard from the parking to the beach and vice versa form part of the surf course timetable. Using own equipment will not reduce charges.
3. Risks of outdoor sports and danger caused by weather conditions
As surfing is dependent on nature to a great extent, in case of wave shortage or danger caused by weather conditions, it may be necessary to give surf lessons on the beach or even to omit them. Martin Zawilla will try to catch up on the omitted lessons as far as the time frame will allow. However, there is no contractual claim to this.
I am aware that surfing due to variability of waves, sea currents and tides as well as the collision risk entails special risks. Therefore, I am bound to follow instructions of the course instructor.
4. Obligation to co-operate
In case of impairment of the service provided, I have the obligation to do everything reasonable within my ability to contribute my part to solve the problem and loss minimization. Safety and availability of the surfboards are ensured through periodical checks by Martin Zawilla. Nevertheless, I am obligated to check my surfboard before each use. On behalf of all parties I am bound to report any damages regardless whether it was caused by me or not.
5. Liability
Martin Zawilla is liable for assiduous preparation of the surf course, accurate choice and control of the subcontracted services, accuracy of course announcements and the careful execution of periodic reviews of surfboards as contracted. Liability of personal injury will only be assumed by Martin Zawilla in case of intention or negligence. Liability of property and consequential damage will only be assumed by Martin Zawilla in case of intention or gross negligence. As far as there is no contradictory legal obligation, liability regardless of cause will be limited to a single course fee.
For injury or damages to third-party, in case of default on my part, I will be liable myself. I will compensate for loss or damage of the provided equipment. In the case that availability of the surf equipment is not ensured, due to failure to adhere to the surf instructor’s instructions or intentional behavior on my part, I will have no right to claim for neither recover nor compensation of time lost.
Martin Zawilla will not assume any responsibility for personal items.

If the cancellation is made 6 days before the start of the course or later, 90% of the course fee will be retained if no substitute person is provided.
