3.     I understand it is required by law to have a properly fitted U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device (“Lifejacket”) while in and on the water. I hereby acknowledge that I have been provided with said Lifejacket. I understand that kayaking/ (stand-up) paddle boarding and other water activities should be undertaken after proper instruction and training and that iPaddle Miami, LLC (“the Lessor”) is not providing such training in connection with the rental of equipment. I assume full responsibility for deciding where, when, and with whom to kayak/ paddle. I also acknowledge and agree that the rental equipment provided by iPaddle Miami, LLC is for the sole and exclusive use of the undersigned and may not be used by any other person.

4.     I understand that rental equipment is intended only for use in Biscayne Bay, FL, its connecting inland waterways, and closed bodies of water. iPaddle Miami, LLC does not authorize the launching, or any use of rental equipment, from the drop-off/pick-up location(s) if outside of intended use area.

5.     In consideration of being permitted to rent equipment, I agree to assume full responsibility for and risks, injuries or damages, known or unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating in water activities.

I acknowledge that iPaddle Miami, LLC may fail to predict whether the water is safe for the activity or whether a current, wave, or weather condition may occur.

6.     Acknowledgement of Risks and Release: I understanding that the activity for which I am renting equipment from iPaddle Miami, LLC has inherent risks, hazards and dangers for anyone, which cannot be eliminated, particularly in a wilderness environment. I am voluntarily using the services if Lessor with full knowledge of this and hereby fully assume and accept any and all risks or injury, paralysis, or death.

7.     I agree that rental equipment has been inspected by me for any defects or deficiencies. Acceptance or use of rental equipment by Lessee will be deemed to be an acknowledgement that the equipment is in good operating condition. Lessee has notified Lessor as to any defects or deficiencies with respect to the condition of the equipment or its accessories, and hereby acknowledges that the kayak/ paddle board, and its accessories, were received (and shall therefore be returned) in satisfactory working condition.

8.     I acknowledge that I am financially responsible for any and all damages incurred during my rental. This includes any damages to private property, iPaddle Miami, LLC, kayak, board, paddle, life jacket, and wheeled cart. I understand that my credit card will be charged for the total cost of repairs. I also acknowledge that iPaddle Miami, LLC is not responsible for any property left stored, lost or transported by Lessee or any other person in, on, or upon rental equipment, or in or around Lessor’s property before, during, or after rental.

 9.     I will be responsible for the replacement, at full current value, and loss-of-use of any equipment rented under this form which is lost, stolen, damaged, or otherwise not returned to iPaddle Miami, LLC. I agree to return all rental equipment by the agreed time and date or I shall incur a late fee.

10.  Other than the obligations of Lessor expressly set forth herein, Lessor disclaims all warranties expressed or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. In the event of a breach of this contract, Lessor shall not be liable for incidental or consequential damages arising out of such a breach.
