LIABILITY WAIVER
I recognize that there are risks and dangers inherent in using an electric bike. Knowing of the inherent risks (such as, but not limited to, equipment failure, hazards of the road, traffic, changing weather conditions, etc.), I assume full responsibility for myself, for bodily injury, death and loss of personal property and any expenses incurred. I accept the equipment for use “as is,” in good condition, and accept full responsibility for care of all such equipment while in use by me or otherwise in my possession. I shall be responsible for the prompt replacement at full retail value of all equipment not returned or returned damaged, other than reasonable normal wear and tear. I agree to return equipment by agreed date and time to avoid additional charges. All instruction on the use of the equipment have been made clear to me and I understand the function of the equipment.
I, ON BEHALF OF MYSELF, MY HEIRS, AND SUCCESSORS-IN-INTEREST, ASSUME THE RISK AND FOREVER RELEASE AND WAIVE ALL CLAIMS AGAINST KUL WHEELS LLC, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “KW PARTIES”) FROM ANY LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, WRONGFUL DEATH, OR OTHER CLAIMS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ARISING FROM MY NEGLIGENCE OR CONDUCT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. FURTHER, I SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE KW PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, SUITS, ACTIONS ATTORNEYS’ FEES, COURT COSTS, OR LIABILITIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR WRONGFUL DEATH, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO MY USE OF THE ELECTRIC BIKES, ACCESSORIES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, OR ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RENTAL OF KUL WHEEL LLC’S EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES. I ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE MY ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS OF THIS RELEASE AGREEMENT IS A MATERIAL CONDITION AND CONSIDERATION FOR MY RENTAL OF THE EBIKE EQUIPMENT AND USE OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY KUL WHEELS LLC.
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, TRANSPORTATION, BREAK DOWNS & ACCIDENTS
By using Kul Wheels LLC property including but not limited to its electric bikes, accessories, and associated equipment, I am acknowledging that I am responsible to return all Kul Wheels LLC property in the same condition it was in when the property left the shop. If any property belonging to Kul Wheels LLC that I or my party used is returned damaged or missing, I shall be financially responsible for the full retail replacement value of the item, part, or equipment and any other associated costs related to the labor required to repair the equipment. I shall promptly pay any invoice issued by Kul Wheels LLC for equipment I do not return or return damaged.
I understand and agree that Kul Wheels electric bikes can only transported from the shop via an e-bike approved vehicle rack or other approved method. If I use my vehicle rack and it fails and damage occurs to the e-bike or any other Kul Wheels property, I agree that I am financially responsible for all costs associated with repairing or replacing the damaged item(s).
Since all Kul Wheels e-bikes can be ridden like regular bicycles, I understand no discounts, refunds or replacement batteries will be given if a battery is fully used.
In the unlikely event that I should need assistance (like a flat tire or ANY other problem), I will contact the Kul Wheels mmediately. I understand and agree that no refund, discount or credit on rental or tour fees will be given when a bicycle breaks down due to flat tires or batteries being overused. In the event the breakdown is due to my negligence or my accident, I agree I am liable for any costs incurred to transport the bike and/or rider(s) back to Kul Wheels, as well as any repair costs.
If I have an accident, I agree not to continue riding the e-bike. If it's an emergency, I will dial 911. If it is not an emergency, I will contact Kul Wheels immediately via phone and await instructions.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Bummer, my plans have changed. I MUST contact Kul Wheels at least 24 Hours BEFORE the scheduled time of my tour/rental to cancel and receive a full refund. If I don't call or email within 24 hours before my tour/rental, AND receive a written confirmation of my cancellation from Kul Wheels LLC, I will not receive a refund.
I must arrive or contact Kul Wheels no later than 15 minutes after my confirmed rental time or tour start time or Kul Wheels LLC shall assume that I am not coming and may release my e-bike to someone else or will leave without me and I will forfeit my payment.
Rental periods begin and end at the time scheduled and any additional time used will be billed at a rate of $25/hr or any portion of hour.
Dang It! The Weather is Not Playing Nicely. Kul Wheel LLC’s guides are always ready to ride, but if the forecast reflects a strong likelihood for thunderstorms, hurricanes, sleet, snow, high winds (20 mph or greater), other wraths of Mother Nature, as determined in Kul Wheels LLC’s sole discretion, OR if it is below 45 degrees (F) or above 100 degrees (F) at the time of my scheduled ride, Kul Wheels LLC will cancel the tour to keep me safe. Kul Wheels LLC may "rain check" my reservation to another day (subject to availability) OR provide a refund.
For my safety, the group’s safety, and the safety of Kul Wheel LLC’s staff and equipment, all participants MUST be able to CONFIDENTLY ride a bike. If a guest is not riding confidently enough to travel safely on Richmond trails and streets, Kul Wheels LLC will prohibit that guest from riding and will not issue a refund. If a rider is intoxicated, exhibits unsafe or dangerous riding such as jumping (our fleet bikes are NOT e-mountain bikes), for my own safety and the safety of others, Kul Wheels will prohibit that guest from riding and no refund will be allowed.
