(1) Rental Payment. In consideration of the Rental and the use of the E-Bike as set forth herein, Rider hereby expressly agrees that the Company shall be entitled to charge the payment method provided by Rider (the “Payment Method”) at the rates and in the amounts set forth during the online reservation process (the “Rental Fees”). Rider hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Rental shall not commence without full execution of this Agreement and payment of the Rental Fees in full by Rider to the Company, and Rider’s execution of this Agreement shall constitute Rider’s acceptance of and agreement to pay such Rental Fees as set forth herein. Rider hereby acknowledges that the Rental Fees are not subject to sales tax but are subject to a non-refundable booking fee in the amount of six percent (6%) of the Rental Fees and a non-refundable processing fee in the amount of three percent (3%) of the Rental Fees (together the “Booking Fee”). 

(2) Loss or Damage to E-Bike. Rider hereby acknowledges and agrees that in lieu of a security deposit, the Company shall be entitled to charge the Payment Method for any loss of or damage to the E-Bike and any related equipment, including, but not limited to, resulting from accident, collision, operator error, theft, vandalism, or otherwise, regardless of fault, in any amount up to the full replacement value of the E-Bike and any related equipment supplied to Rider by the Company. Prior to the Company charging the Payment Method for any amount beyond the Rental Fees in relation to any loss or damage to the E-Bike as set forth herein, the Company shall provide Rider with an invoice indicating the additional amount charged and the basis therefor (“Additional Invoice”). The Additional Invoice will be provided to Rider via e-mail at an e-mail address or other means of contact provided by Rider. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Rider hereby expressly authorizes the Company to charge the Payment Method in the amount set forth in the Additional Invoice, and Rider releases and forever discharges the Company of any liability on account of such charges.

(3)  Cancellation. Rider hereby acknowledges and agrees that Rental reservations must be canceled fourteen (14) days prior to the scheduled Rental date and time in order to receive a full refund, less the amount of the non-refundable Booking Fee. In the event of any cancellation of the Rental between thirteen (13) and seven (7) days prior to the scheduled date and time of the Rental, Rider shall receive a fifty percent (50%) refund of the Rental Fees, less the amount of the non-refundable Booking Fee. Reservations cancelled less than seven (7) days prior to the scheduled Rental date and time will not receive a refund. In no event shall Rider’s failure to receive delivery of the E-Bike for any reason without prior notice to the Company entitle Rider to any refund of the Rental Fees. The Company and Rider hereby acknowledge and agree that the Company’s withholding of any portion of the Rental Fees in the event of a cancellation by Rider as set forth above shall not be deemed a penalty, but shall constitute the payment of liquidated damages, it being understood that actual damages to the Company caused thereby would extremely difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. Subject to the foregoing, Rider may cancel the Rental at any time.

(4) Authorized RidersAny user of the E-Bike under this Agreement must be at least eighteen (18) years old with government-issued identification, cell phone number, e-mail address, and a major credit card. Rider hereby acknowledges and agrees that the E-Bike is for the exclusive use of the Rider under this Agreement, and no other person may use, operate, or ride the E-Bike. Rider may not carry any passengers on the E-Bike at any time, and Rider is prohibited from pulling or towing any passenger or object with the E-Bike. Riders under the age of eighteen (18) must be accompanied by a legal guardian and have this Agreement, including the attached Assumption of Risk and Waiver of Liability Agreement, signed by an authorized parent/guardian. Rider hereby acknowledges that there is a three hundred fifty pound (350 lb.) weight limit for the E-Bikes. The Company reserves the right to cancel a Rental reservation or end a Rental if the Rider is not able to safely operate the bicycle as determined in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.

(5)  Use of E-Bike. Rider hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Rental and the use of the E-Bike are subject to all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations, and Rider will at all times operate the E-Bike at a speed of twenty (20) miles per hour or less only where permitted pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, and Rider will use the E-Bike only in a cautious, defensive, and prudent fashion and in compliance with such applicable laws. Rider further acknowledges and agrees that Rider is capable of operating the E-Bike in a competent manner and only for its intended use and operation. In addition, Rider acknowledges and agrees that Rider will use the E-Bike only during such times that he/she is not under the influence of alcohol or other substances which may cause an impairment in reactions or judgment. Rider agrees that the E-Bike will be safely stored and locked when not in use and in a covered area if kept overnight by Rider. Any user of the E-Bike under this Agreement will wear a properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmet while riding. The Rental includes a CPSC approved bicycle helmet, which is strongly recommended for all users eighteen (18) years and over and required for all users under eighteen (18) years of age. Rider hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company reserves the right to refuse to provide service for any reason permitted by applicable law.

(6) Condition. Rider hereby agrees to accept the E-Bike in its current, as-is condition, without warranty or representation of any kind by the Company except as may be expressly set forth herein. Rider agrees to accept the E-Bike as being in good and satisfactory condition unless Rider provides the Company with notice of any defect prior to the completion of delivery of the E-Bike by the Company. Rider agrees that failure to provide such notice shall be conclusive that no defects existed in the E-Bike at the time of commencement of the Rental. Rider hereby acknowledges and agrees that some of the E-Bikes and components thereof in the Company’s inventory may need to be replaced or changed over time and may not be the specific E-Bikes shown in any picture or video provided or advertised by the Company. Rider hereby acknowledges and agrees that circumstances may exist in relation to the Rental that are beyond the reasonable control of the Company, and that despite its best efforts, the Company cannot guarantee the quality of Rider’s enjoyment of or experience during the Rental. Accordingly, no refunds, credits, or discounts, or offsets of any kind shall be granted to Rider arising out of any circumstance related to Rider’s enjoyment or the quality of Rider’s experience which is beyond the Company’s reasonable control. In the event of a mechanical malfunction, the Company will take reasonable action to resolve such issues quickly and arrange for repairs, if any, to be accomplished as soon as possible, taking into consideration service personnel workload, parts availability, and the nature of the repair.

The Parties agree to mediate any such matter before proceeding with any arbitration and as a requisite precursor to any such action.

11.3. If a Party fails to participate in the arbitration as described above for any matter to be decided pursuant to the “Expedited Arbitration Procedure”, then for purposes of exercising its rights to remedies under this Agreement, the participating Party shall be deemed to have prevailed in the arbitration and shall be entitled to exercise the rights and remedies resulting therefrom.

11.4      Any matter otherwise subject to the Expedited Arbitration Procedure which involves a monetary dispute within the jurisdiction of a small claims court will instead be determined by that court.
