Terms & Conditions
1. Introduction
Service Provider and Scope
Niseko Ski Lesson is operated by ACCENT LLC, providing private ski and snowboard lessons.
Our primary lesson locations include Niseko, Rusutsu, Kiroro, Furano, Asahikawa, Sapporo, and throughout Hokkaido.
Upon request, we can also arrange lessons at other ski resorts across Japan and internationally.
2. Booking and Payment
Reservation and Payment Terms
All Niseko Ski Lessons require full advance booking and payment.
Reservations are confirmed only after full payment has been received.
Payments are accepted primarily via credit card, but bank transfers and Wise are also available.
3. Cancellation and Refund Policy
Flexible Yet Clear Cancellation Rules
-
Cancellations 31 days or more before the lesson date: No cancellation fee.
-
Cancellations between 30 and 16 days before the lesson: 20% cancellation fee.
-
Cancellations between 15 days and 48 hours before the lesson: 50% cancellation fee.
-
Cancellations within 48 hours: 100% cancellation fee.
If a customer fails to appear without notice within 10 minutes of the scheduled lesson start time, the lesson will be treated as canceled, and a 100% cancellation fee will apply with no refund.
Refunds are only granted if all lifts are suspended due to severe weather or mechanical/electrical issues.
4. Service Modifications
Adaptability for Your Best Ski Experience
If all lifts are suspended due to weather or mechanical failure, we may propose relocating the lesson to another ski resort.
For example, if lessons in Niseko are not possible, we may suggest moving to Rusutsu or another nearby resort.
Additionally, considering Niseko’s peak congestion, we may proactively recommend alternative locations like Kiroro or Rusutsu.
In such cases, any additional costs incurred will be discussed transparently with the customer before confirming the change.
If a private lesson is booked for three participants but significant differences in skill levels are observed, we may suggest adding an additional instructor, with prior consultation.
