Depending on the specific Service, the Provider may be self-employed professional Anton Zolotarev, self-employed professional Daria Zakhodiakina, or both, as stated on the relevant product page, booking confirmation, payment receipt, invoice or other applicable document.
By booking, paying for, attending or participating in a Service, the Participant confirms that they have read, understood and accepted this Safety Disclaimer and Assumption of Risk.

The exact content of each Service is stated on the relevant product page, camp page, booking page, booking confirmation or other written communication from the Provider.
The Services take place in mountain and ski resort environments, which may include changing weather, changing snow conditions, other slope users, lifts, resort rules, variable terrain and other factors outside the Provider’s control.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, the Provider is not acting as a local resort ski school, ski patrol, mountain guide, rescue service, resort operator or representative of the resort.
2. Inherent Risks of Skiing, Snowboarding and Mountain Activities

These risks may include, but are not limited to:

The Participant must not take part in any exercise, route, terrain, speed, trick, riding situation or activity that they do not feel able to perform safely.
The Participant must inform the Provider or Activity Leader as soon as reasonably possible if they:

The Participant should only provide health-related information that is relevant to safe participation.
If the Participant fails to provide relevant information, provides incorrect information or overstates their riding level, the Provider or Activity Leader may be unable to assess the Participant’s suitability for the selected Service.
The Provider or Activity Leader may refuse, suspend or terminate the Participant’s participation where reasonably necessary for safety reasons, including where the Participant’s level, equipment, health condition or behaviour makes participation unsafe or unsuitable.
5. Equipment and Protective Gear
The Participant is responsible for using suitable and properly maintained equipment appropriate for their riding level, the selected Service, snow conditions, weather conditions and resort rules.
A helmet is mandatory for all skiing and snowboarding activities connected with the Service.
The Participant must ensure that their equipment is correctly adjusted and suitable for the activity.
Where specific protective or safety equipment is required for a particular activity, terrain or condition, the Participant must use such equipment in order to participate.
If the Participant does not have the required equipment or protective gear, the Provider or Activity Leader may refuse or suspend the Participant’s participation in the relevant part of the Service where reasonably necessary for safety reasons.
6. Insurance
The Participant must have valid Personal Accident Insurance covering skiing or snowboarding activities.
Where applicable, the insurance must include mountain rescue and helicopter evacuation coverage.
The Participant is responsible for checking that their insurance is valid for:
1. The country where the Service takes place;

3. The type of terrain and activity involved;

5. Resort restrictions;
6. Lift closures;
7. Group level;
8. Participant fatigue or injury;

10. Photos and Videos for Technical Feedback
Photo and video materials may be created during the Service for technical feedback, video analysis, safety review or internal training purposes.
Where photo or video materials are used for public marketing, social media, advertising or promotional purposes, the Provider will rely on the Participant’s consent or another appropriate legal basis where permitted by law.
The processing of personal data, including photo and video data, is described in the QuickSnowTeach Privacy Policy.
