RentRideLocal – Terms of Service

Effective Date: June 2025

Welcome to RentRideLocal! These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access and use of our website and services.

1. The Platform's Role as a Venue

The Platform is an online marketplace that connects Renters with Vendors who offer bicycle rentals. You understand and agree that the Company is not a party to any rental agreements entered into between Renters and Vendors. We are not a rental company, broker, or agent for any user. The Company does not own, sell, resell, furnish, provide, rent, manage, or control any of the bicycles listed by Vendors. Our role is strictly to facilitate the availability of the Platform and to serve as a limited payment collection agent for Vendors. Accordingly, the quality, safety, condition, legality, or suitability of any bicycle is the sole responsibility of the Vendor. We are not responsible for and disclaim all liability related to any and all listings and bicycle rentals. All bookings are made at the Renter's and Vendor's own risk.

2. User Accounts

To access certain features of the Platform, you must register for an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate. You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for any activities or actions under your account, whether or not you have authorized them.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Platform to:

  • Violate any law, regulation, or this Agreement.
  • Post false, inaccurate, misleading, defamatory, or libelous content.
  • Impersonate any person or entity.
  • Infringe upon any third party's intellectual property rights.
  • Distribute viruses or any other technologies that may harm the Platform or its users.

4. Terms for Vendors

Listings:
  • You agree to provide accurate and complete information in your listings, including detailed descriptions, current photos, and the physical condition of the Equipment. You are responsible for setting the rental price and any other applicable fees.
Obligations:
  • You represent and warrant that you own or have the legal right to rent out the bicycles you list. You are solely responsible for maintaining your bicycles in a safe, clean, and roadworthy condition, in compliance with all applicable laws and standards. You agree to honor all confirmed bookings.
Insurance:
  • You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining appropriate insurance coverage for your rental business and equipment.

5. Terms for Renters

Booking:
  • When you book a bicycle, you agree to pay all charges associated with the rental, including the rental rate, applicable fees, taxes, and any security deposit.
Obligations:
  • You agree to operate all rented equipment safely, in accordance with all traffic laws, and only for its intended use. You are responsible for inspecting the bicycle before use and for returning it on time and in the same condition as received, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
Liability Waiver:
  • You acknowledge that all rentals are subject to the RentRideLocal Liability Waiver, which you must review and electronically sign before completing a rental transaction. The Liability Waiver is a separate, binding legal agreement.

6. Payments, Fees, and Cancellations

Fees:
  • We may charge fees to Vendors for the use of the Platform (e.g., a commission on each rental). All applicable fees will be disclosed to Vendors before they list a bicycle.
Payment Processing:
  • We will act as the Vendor's payment collection agent for the purpose of accepting payments from Renters. Payment processing services are provided by a third-party payment processor and are subject to their terms.
Cancellations and Refunds:
  • Our cancellation and refund policy will be made available on the Platform and will govern any cancellations by a Renter or Vendor.

7. Intellectual Property

Platform IP:
  • All content on the Platform, including our name, logos, text, and software, is the property of RentRideLocal LLC and is protected by copyright and trademark laws. You may not use it without our express written permission.
User-Generated Content:
  • By creating content on the Platform (e.g., listings, reviews), you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, host, store, and display that content in connection with operating and promoting the Platform.
Copyright Policy:
  • We respect copyright law and expect our users to do the same. We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES: THE PLATFORM AND ALL CONTENT AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY REGARDING THE QUALITY, SAFETY, OR LEGALITY OF ANY BICYCLES, LISTINGS, OR THE CONDUCT OF ANY USER. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM OR ANY RENTAL TRANSACTION.

  • We encourage users to resolve disputes directly. We may, but have no obligation to, help facilitate the resolution of disputes between Renters and Vendors.
Binding Arbitration:
  • Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Platform will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action.
