1. Who’s Who
Renter: That’s you — the person renting the bike or gear.
Host: The person who owns the bike or gear you’re renting.
Spokeo, LLC: We run the platform that connects renters and hosts. We facilitate the rental and handle payments.
2. By Accepting This Agreement, You Agree That:
You accept full responsibility for the bike and/or gear you rent.
You are using it at your own risk.
You are physically capable of safely using the equipment.
You will follow all applicable laws and ride responsibly.
You will return the gear in the same condition it was received (minus normal wear and tear).
You understand that Spokeo and the Host are not responsible for injuries, accidents, or damages.
3. What You Agree To as a Renter
Ride Responsibly
You won’t ride under the influence, ride recklessly, or let anyone else use the gear unless it’s designed for multiple riders (like a tandem or cargo bike). You’re responsible for making sure the bike fits you. Use common sense and be safe.
Keep it Secure
You are fully responsible for the gear during your rental. Bikes are a major target for theft — locks only slow down thieves; they don’t stop them. Never leave the bike unattended in public, even briefly. Never store it outside overnight, even if it’s locked. The safest option is to bring it indoors or store it in a locked, enclosed space. If the gear is stolen or vandalized during your rental, you are responsible for the full replacement value.
Return On Time
Return the gear at the agreed time and place. Late returns may result in additional fees, including the full replacement cost if the gear is not returned within 24 hours of the scheduled return time.
Damage and Loss
You are responsible for any loss, theft, or damage during your rental period. If the gear is damaged beyond reasonable repair, you may be responsible for its fair market replacement value. Normal wear and tear is okay — but bent wheels, cracked frames, or major component damage is not.
Repairs
You may replace a flat tube or tire if needed. Otherwise, do not attempt any repairs or modifications. If anything breaks, contact the Host right away.
Know the Risks
Biking comes with real risks. You could be injured or worse. By agreeing to this rental, you accept these risks and release Spokeo and the Host from any liability related to injury, death, or property damage.
4. Legal Terms
Assumption of Risk
You understand and accept all risks involved in using the gear. This includes injury, damage, or accidents — even if they weren’t your fault.
Release of Liability
You release and hold harmless the Host and Spokeo from any claims related to injury, damage, or loss while using the gear.
Indemnification
If someone sues Spokeo or the Host because of something you did, you agree to cover the costs, including legal fees.
Disputes & Governing Law
This agreement is governed by the laws of Washington State. Any legal disputes must be resolved in a court located in Washington State.
5. Final Notes
The gear always remains the property of the Host.
Spokeo may charge your payment method for applicable fees, including for damage, theft, or late returns.
