📜 Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: July 2025

By using The University of Driving™ website, enrolling in any of our driving education packages, or receiving instruction from one of our team members, you agree to the following terms and conditions. These terms are a summary of our legal enrollment contract and apply to all services, including teen and adult driving lessons, DPS appointments, road tests, home pickup/drop-off, and add-on features like dashcams, GPS, and retest insurance.

1. 🚗 Not an Accredited University

The University of Driving™ is a privately operated driving school. We are not an academic institution. The words “University,” “Degree,” “Graduate,” “Doctorate,” and “PhD” are used strictly for branding and package naming purposes to create a gamified, structured experience. No academic credits or diplomas are issued.

2. 🎓 Progress Is Personalized

Our structured packages (e.g., DRFN 101 – Driving Fundamentals™, PARK 201 – Advanced Parking™, etc.) are thematic course names. Student progression through modules varies based on comfort level, prior experience, and practice.

There are no guarantees of mastery or skill advancement within a specific timeframe. Instructors advance students based on their readiness and safety — not just hours completed.

3. 🗓 Fast-Track Campaigns

Slogans like:

• “Get Your License in 7 Days™”

• “Learn to Drive in 14 Days™”

• “Get Your Texas License in 21 Days™”

…are motivational slogans, not promises. Success depends on:

• Showing up on time

• Completing paperwork

• Passing the DPS test

• Maintaining respectful behavior toward instructors

We do not guarantee outcome or speed. Missed appointments or slow progress voids any timelines.

4. 🧾 Course Timelines & Certificate Fees

• Online courses must be completed within 365 days

• Behind-the-wheel lessons must be used within 365 days

• $50 fee applies to expired or failed courses

• $25 fee applies to duplicate certificate requests (DEE-964, ADE-1317)

5. 💳 Refunds & Transfers

• Unused behind-the-wheel hours are eligible for a 50% refund of the hourly rate

• You can transfer unused lessons to another student at 100% value

• Completed services (DPS appointments, tests, online courses) are non-refundable

• Refund requests must be made in writing 7+ days before your next payment

6. 🧠 Reprocessing & Administrative Fees

If you forget paperwork or request revisions, we charge $25 per reprocessing. This includes:

• Fixing or re-uploading forms

• Certificate re-issues

• DPS form corrections

Students are responsible for providing accurate paperwork on time.

7. 🚘 Driving, GPS & Dashcam Recording

All driving sessions are monitored:

• Vehicles are equipped with dual brakes, GPS tracking, and interior dashcams

• Students agree to be recorded during lessons

• Recordings may be reviewed for safety, training, or marketing

Students may appear in graduation photos or marketing unless they opt out. A media release is required for public promotion.

8. 🛑 Road Tests & DPS Appointments

• We offer third-party road tests under partner licensing, not directly under our name (yet)

• We help book DPS appointments, but you must bring valid paperwork

• DPS decisions (pass/fail, document acceptance) are final and outside our control

• Our DPS Bounceback Insurance helps prepare forms but does not guarantee licensing

9. ⚠️ Safety & Liability

• Driving is risky. We prioritize safety but cannot guarantee zero accidents

• You must follow instructor guidance at all times

• If you are found at fault in a crash, you are responsible for the $1,000 insurance deductible

• Additional costs for cosmetic damage or negligence are billed based on repair quotes

10. 🔁 Retests & Road Test Fees

If your package includes a road test and you fail:

• A $74 retest fee applies (unless covered by Retest Insurance™)

• Pass/fail is based on state scoring rubrics

• We do not test with the intent to fail — we grade with care, honesty, and compliance

11. 💳 Payment Plans & Installments

By selecting “Pay Later” or a payment plan, you authorize automatic billing based on your selected package. Payment plans are legally binding and follow this structure:

Teen Packages:

• PhD: 1 upfront + 5 payments

• Doctorate: 1 upfront + 4 payments

• Masters: 1 upfront + 3 payments

12. 💸 Klarna, Afterpay, Crypto

We offer alternative payment options (Klarna, Afterpay, crypto) through Stripe.

• These options are subject to the third party’s terms and approval process

• The University of Driving™ is not responsible for refunds, payment issues, or delays related to Klarna, Afterpay, or crypto processors

13. ❌ Behavior & Dismissal

• Profanity, harassment, or unsafe behavior will result in immediate dismissal without refund

• Instructor vehicles record audio/video for mutual protection
