Rental Waiver Agreement
RENTAL AGREEMENT, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, WAIVER AND RELEASE
I confirm that I / my child is an experienced cyclist. I, the Customer (the person named and signing below), agree to rent bicycles, helmets, and other equipment as agreed (the "Equipment") from Joe's Garage, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out below. I confirm that I have read and accepted the terms of this Rental Agreement and the attached Assumption of Risk, Waiver and Release. The Customer accepts use of the Equipment as is, clean and in good condition, and accepts full responsibility for the care of the Equipment while it is in his or her possession. Renters are encouraged to check their bike and equipment and raise any concerns before starting their ride.
Conditions of Bicycles and Equipment
I agree to operate the Equipment in a safe and prudent fashion. I have inspected the Equipment and confirm that it has been provided to me in a clean, safe, and usable condition, and I agree that I will return it to Joe's Garage in the same condition it was provided to me, subject to reasonable wear and tear. Reasonable wear and tear does not include broken spokes, bent rims, or damaged frames, handlebars, seats, or other parts resulting from misuse and/or crashes. If I damage the Equipment, I agree to pay Joe's Garage's costs to repair or replace it, which will be done at Joe's Garage's discretion, and I agree to pay Joe's Garage's costs to replace parts and their current rates for repair, which are available to me on request.
Late Returns
Late returns are subject to rental rates for the additional time beyond the period agreed upon at the time of rental, charged in half-day increments.
Lost or Stolen Bicycles or Equipment
Joe's Garage will provide one lock for each rental bicycle. This lock is not intended to keep out determined and professional thieves; it is meant to provide minimum security during daylight hours in low-crime areas. The Customer is responsible for using care in choosing a safe place to secure the bike when it is not in use during the rental period.
Bicycles or equipment that are lost or stolen while under a rental agreement will be replaced at Joe's Garage's discretion at regular retail prices. The Customer will be notified of the replacement costs within 72 hours of the report of the theft and will be provided a cost estimate before replacement costs are charged to their credit card. In the event that Joe's Garage is unable to process the purchase of such replacement bicycle and/or parts through the Customer's credit card, the Customer will, immediately upon notification by Joe's Garage, make payment by certified cheque, cash, or such other form of payment as is acceptable to Joe's Garage.
