The rules and conditions that govern your use of the SURFLESSONS4YOU platform.
Last updated: 21.08.2026
1.1. These Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) govern the use of the booking platform SURFLESSONS4YOU (hereinafter “the Platform” or “We”) by customers (hereinafter “Surfer” or “Customer”) and the contractual relationship between the Platform, the independent Surf Schools/Instructors (hereinafter “Provider” or “Service Provider”), and the Surfers.
By using the Platform — including browsing, posting, booking, or paying — you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.
1.2. These Terms apply to all users, regardless of country of residence. By using our services you declare that you are legally capable and, if required, of full age.
1.3. These Terms together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy form the entire agreement between you and SURFLESSONS4YOU regarding use of the Platform.
1.4 The Platform Operator
The Platform is operated by SURFLESSONS4YOU, registered seat: Katja Schiefer, Grabko 42, 03172 Schenkendöbern, Germany. Ladungsfähige Anschrift / service address: Calle Puipana, Bloque 18, Apt. 0E, 35640 Casilla de Costa – Villaverde, Spain.
2.1. SURFLESSONS4YOU acts as a broker / commercial agent. When you book a surf course via our Platform, the underlying Service Agreement for that course is concluded directly between you (the guest) and the surf school (supplier). SURFLESSONS4YOU does not organize, operate, or provide the surf courses itself.
2.2. For payment purposes, SURFLESSONS4YOU collects the full Booking Price from the Surfer in its own name, acting on behalf of and for the account of the Provider, and forwards the Provider’s share after deducting its commission. This means SURFLESSONS4YOU appears on the Surfer’s payment/card statement and is the point of contact for payment-related matters (e.g. payment disputes, chargebacks), while the Provider remains solely responsible for the proper and faultless delivery of the Activity itself.
2.3. SURFLESSONS4YOU does not become a party to the service contract (e.g., the surf lesson contract) and is not responsible for the content, quality, or delivery of the Activity. Any claims regarding the Activity itself (safety, quality, performance) must be directed to the respective Provider; any claims regarding payment, refund processing, or the booking transaction are handled by SURFLESSONS4YOU.
2.4. SURFLESSONS4YOU charges a commission of 15% on the Booking Price for brokering the booking and handling payment collection. This commission is already included in the price displayed at checkout (“Booking Price”).
All descriptions, images, and information regarding the activities are provided by the providers. SURFLESSONS4YOU has no direct control over the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of these contents and is not obligated to verify them.
3.1. To book a surf course, you select your desired course, fill in required personal and payment information, and confirm the booking. Payment is processed via the payment provider (e.g. Credit card or PayPal). Bookings made via the Platform are legally binding. By submitting a booking, the Surfer makes a binding offer to the Provider to conclude a contract for the selected activity
3.2. Once payment is successful, you receive a booking confirmation; this acts as confirmation of the concluded service sgreement between you and the surf school. The contract between the Surfer and the Provider is concluded when the Provider accepts the Surfer’s booking via the Platform and/or SURFLESSONS4YOU sends the booking confirmation on behalf of the Provider via email to the Surfer.
3.3. SURFLESSONS4YOU processes payments via its payment service provider (Stripe). Card statements will show SURFLESSONS4YOU as the merchant. Payment-related disputes (e.g. unauthorized transactions, duplicate charges) should be directed to SURFLESSONS4YOU; disputes about the Activity itself (quality, delivery) should be directed to the Provider as described in §2.
3.4. The prices listed on the Platform are final prices. The price includes the intermediation commission retained by SURFLESSONS4YOU.
3.5. SURFLESSONS4YOU reserves the right to refuse or cancel bookings in case of suspected fraud, abuse, or violation of these Terms.
4.1. The Platform is intended for personal, non-commercial use only. Commercial resale, re-listing or profiting from bookings made on behalf of third parties is prohibited.
4.2. You may create at most one user account. You are responsible for maintaining confidentiality of your account credentials and all actions under your account. You must notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.
4.3. Any use of automated tools such as bots, scrapers, or data-harvesters to access or extract data from the Platform without prior written consent is forbidden.
5.1. The prices shown on the Platform (the “Posted Price”) or at checkout (the “Booking Price”) include the 15% commission that SURFLESSONS4YOU earns. This commission is deducted from the amount forwarded to the Provider.
5.2. SURFLESSONS4YOU collects the payment from the Surfer in its own name, on behalf of and for the account of the Provider. Payment made to SURFLESSONS4YOU fulfills the Surfer’s payment obligation to the Provider.
5.3. The price shown includes VAT and all applicable local taxes charged by the surf school. Taxes charged by third parties unrelated to the Activity (e.g. municipal tourist tax on accommodation or biosphere reserves) are not part of this booking.
5.4. SURFLESSONS4YOU is not responsible for such local taxes; the surf school (supplier) is responsible for complying with local tax regulations.
6.1. For each listing, the Provider selects one of two standardized cancellation options provided by SURFLESSONS4YOU: “Non-refundable” or “Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the Activity start.” The selected option is shown on the listing and at checkout and is processed automatically by SURFLESSONS4YOU.
6.2. A Provider may additionally link to its own terms or policy on a listing (e.g. for on-site conduct, equipment, or safety rules). Such external terms apply only to matters not covered by SURFLESSONS4YOU’s booking and cancellation terms. In case of any conflict, the cancellation/refund option selected under §6.1 on SURFLESSONS4YOU remains binding and prevails.
6.3. If the Provider cancels a course (e.g. due to adverse weather, instructor unavailability, or other operational reasons), the Provider reports this via the Platform, and SURFLESSONS4YOU processes the refund or rebooking accordingly.
6.4. Nothing in this section limits a Provider’s ability to voluntarily offer the Surfer more than what is guaranteed under §6.1 (e.g. proposing an alternative date on-site as a goodwill gesture). Such additional accommodations are at the Provider’s own discretion and do not reduce the Surfer’s rights under the selected cancellation option.
6.5. If the Surfer fails to appear at the agreed-upon time and location without prior cancellation within the applicable window, they forfeit any right to a refund of the paid price.
7.1. SURFLESSONS4YOU facilitates bookings. We do not guarantee the provision, quality, safety or availability of the surf courses provided by thirdp-party providers. All liability for the actual service lies with the surf school (Provider).
7.2. SURFLESSONS4YOU is not liable for any damage, injury, loss or other negative outcome resulting from participation in a booked activity, unless such liability is mandatory under applicable law (e.g. gross negligence, willful misconduct).
7.3. SURFLESSONS4YOU acts solely as an intermediary platform. The Provider (the surf school) guarantees that they hold all necessary administrative licenses and a valid Public Liability Insurance (or General Liability Insurance) sufficient to cover surf instruction and any potential damages or injuries arising therefrom.
The user acknowledges that surfing is an inherent-risk activity. SURFLESSONS4YOU shall not be held liable for any personal injury, accidents, property damage, or death occurring during the execution of the booked activity. Any claims regarding the safety, quality, or performance of the lessons must be directed exclusively to the respective Service Provider.
7.4. The Surfer acknowledges that surfing and related water sports inherently involve risks (e.g., injuries from waves, board, marine life). Participation is undertaken at the Surfer’s own risk and responsibility.
7.5. The booking price does not include insurance coverage. The Surfer is strongly advised to obtain adequate travel, accident, and liability insurance.
