Terms & Conditions

Please read these Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) carefully before using instructorplace.co.uk (the “Platform”), operated by Instructor Place (“we”, “us”, “our”). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

What we are

Instructor Place is an online directory that connects learner drivers looking for driving lessons with independent driving instructors in Bristol and the surrounding area. We are a listings platform only. We do not employ instructors, provide driving tuition ourselves, or act as a driving school. Instructors listed on the Platform are independent, self-employed businesses responsible for their own qualifications, insurance, pricing, and lesson delivery.

Definitions

  • “Learner” — a user searching for or booking driving lessons through the Platform.
  • “Instructor” — a driving instructor who creates or claims a listing on the Platform.
  • “Listing” — an instructor’s public profile page, including their details, pricing, and reviews.
  • “Content” — any text, images, reviews, or other material submitted to the Platform.

Eligibility

You must be at least 17 years old to use the Platform as a Learner (the minimum age to hold a UK provisional driving licence for car lessons). Instructors must hold a valid ADI (Approved Driving Instructor) badge, or equivalent trainee licence, and provide accurate proof of this if requested.

Accounts

  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login details and for all activity under your account.
  • You agree to provide accurate, current information when registering or updating your listing.
  • We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these Terms, provide false information, or engage in fraudulent or abusive conduct.

Instructor listings

  • Instructors are responsible for the accuracy of the information in their listing, including qualifications, coverage area, vehicle type, and pricing.
  • We reserve the right to review, edit, decline, or remove any listing that we reasonably believe is inaccurate, misleading, or in breach of these Terms.
  • Listing on the Platform does not constitute an endorsement, guarantee, or verification of an instructor’s qualifications, competence, or conduct, beyond any checks explicitly stated on the site.

Pricing and payments

Where listing fees apply, these are shown on our Pricing page, are payable in advance, and are processed securely via our payment provider. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or explicitly stated otherwise. Instructor Place does not charge Learners to search for or contact Instructors.

Bookings and lesson arrangements

Any booking, scheduling, payment for lessons, cancellation, or dispute between a Learner and an Instructor is a matter between those two parties. Instructor Place is not a party to that arrangement and accepts no liability for the quality, safety, cancellation, or outcome of any lesson booked through a listing found on the Platform.

Reviews and user content

  • Reviews must reflect a genuine experience and must not be defamatory, abusive, or fraudulent.
  • We may remove reviews or other content that we believe breach these Terms or applicable law.
  • By submitting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display it on the Platform.

Prohibited conduct

You must not:

  • Post false, misleading, defamatory, or infringing content
  • Impersonate another person or business
  • Use the Platform to harass, spam, or scrape data from other users
  • Attempt to bypass, disrupt, or reverse-engineer the Platform’s security or functionality

Intellectual property

All Platform design, branding, and non-user-submitted content is owned by Instructor Place or its licensors. You may not copy, reproduce, or reuse it without our written permission.

Third-party links and embedded content

The Platform may link to or embed third-party content (e.g. maps, videos). We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of third-party sites.

Disclaimers

The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not guarantee that listings are complete, accurate, or up to date, or that any instructor will be available, suitable, or successful in helping a Learner pass their test. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Platform.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Instructor Place shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from use of the Platform, or from any interaction, lesson, booking, or dispute between Learners and Instructors. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud, where such limitation is not permitted by law.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify Instructor Place against any claims, losses, or damages arising from your breach of these Terms or misuse of the Platform.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
