The level of charge power remaining in the Vehicle will decrease with use of the Vehicle (over time, distance and load), and that as the level of charge power of the Vehicle decreases, the speed and other operational capabilities of the Vehicle may decrease (or cease in their entirety).  The level of charging power in the Vehicle at the time Driver/Rider initiates the rental or operation of the Vehicle is not guaranteed and will vary with each rental use.  The rate of loss of charging power during the use of the Vehicle is not guaranteed and will vary based on the Vehicle, road conditions, weather conditions, and other factors.  It is the Driver/Rider’s responsibility to check the level of charge power in the Vehicle and to ensure that it is adequate before initiating operation of the Vehicle. The distance and/or time that Driver/Rider may operate the Vehicle before it loses charging power is never guaranteed.  The Vehicle may run out of charging power and cease to operate at any time during Driver/Rider’s rental of the Vehicle, including before reaching Driver/Rider’s desired destination.

            1.15.    Charging of Vehicle.  If the Vehicle runs out of charging power during a rental, Driver/Rider shall conclude the ride in compliance with all terms of this Agreement.  Alternatively, where available, in Driver/Rider’s sole discretion, Driver/Rider may charge the Vehicle only by plugging a proper manufacturer-approved charging cord into an outlet that may be lawfully used for such purpose.  Driver/Rider agrees to follow all laws and rules pertaining to the charging of the Vehicle, including all state and local laws and all public and private rules and regulations pertaining to the area and to the property where Driver/Rider is charging the Vehicle.  Driver/Rider agrees that he/she is responsible for all costs, charges, fees, expenses, penalties, and fines associated with the charging of the Vehicle, and that RYDABLES will not reimburse Driver/Rider for such.

            2.3       Maximum Rental Time and Charges.  Maximum rental time is 24 hours.  Driver/Rider agrees that Driver/Rider will deactivate the Vehicle rental within 24 hours of renting a Vehicle.  Driver/Rider may then rent again.  Driver/Rider agrees that he/she is solely responsible for being aware of any elapsed time related to the timely locking of the Vehicle.  The maximum day charge is Seven Hundred Twenty Dollars ($720) and is based on a calendar day.  After return of the Vehicle, Driver/Rider will be charged the accumulated rental charges, or the maximum day charge, whichever is less.  Vehicles not returned (locked and a ride concluded) within 48 hours will be considered lost or stolen, and Driver/Rider may be charged up to Six Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-Five Dollars ($6,995) and a police report may be filed.  RYDABLES may also charge a service fee of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250) for rentals in excess of 24 hours where the Vehicle is not lost or stolen.

            2.5.      Pick-Up Fees.  If You are unable to return a Vehicle to a valid area (i.e., You deactivate the Vehicle on private property, a locked community, or another unreachable area), and request that the Vehicle be picked up by RYDABLES staff, RYDABLES, at its sole discretion, may choose to charge You a pick‑up fee up to Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250).  If any Vehicle accessed under Your account is abandoned without notice, You will be responsible for all trip fees until the Vehicle is recovered and deactivated, plus a service charge (currently $250) to recover the Vehicle.  Fees are subject to change.

  1. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

            9.1.      Initial Dispute Resolution.  Driver/Rider Support is available via the RYDABLES mobile application to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of a Vehicle and/or this Agreement.  The parties shall use their best efforts through this support process to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and engage in good faith negotiations which shall be a condition to either party initiating mediation, arbitration, or a lawsuit.

            9.2.      Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution through the support process, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below.  Specifically, all claims arising out of, or relating to use and rental of a Vehicle, this Agreement, and the parties’ relationship with each other shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, alternatively, a mutually agreed upon arbitrator or arbitration service, under the applicable commercial arbitration rules for JAMS or the mutually agreed upon arbitration service, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions.

            The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity.  The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

            To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, RYDABLES will pay the additional cost.  The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases.  The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial.  They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

            9.3.      Location.  The arbitration will take place in Columbus (Dublin), Ohio, or a mutually agreed upon location.

            9.4.      Class Action Waiver.  The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis.  YOU AND RYDABLES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.  If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

            9.5.      Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims.  Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights).  Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

            9.6.      Right to Opt-Out.  You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: 2125 E. 5th St., #110, Tempe, Arizona 85281.  The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of the effective date of this Agreement or your first use of RYDABLES Services, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs.  If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, RYDABLES also will not be bound by them. 

            9.7.      Changes to this Section.  RYDABLES will provide prior written notice of any changes to this section. Changes will become effective only after prior written notice and will apply prospectively only to any claims arising after the notice period.

            For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and RYDABLES agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the federal and state courts located in Columbus (Dublin), Ohio.  You further agree to accept service of process by mail, and hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.

  1. WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY.

            No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement is a waiver of any other breach or of any other provision of this Agreement.   If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect.

  1. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES.

            All rights and remedies granted under or referred to in this Agreement are cumulative and nonexclusive, and resort to one does not preclude the availability or applicability of another or to any other right or remedy provided by law.

            This Agreement contains the complete, final, and exclusive integrated agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter.  This Agreement supersedes all other prior agreements, written or oral, relating to such subject matter.  At any time and without Driver/Rider’s consent, RYDABLES may unilaterally amend, modify, or change this Agreement, in its sole discretion except for Section 9.  By continuing to use any of the RYDABLES Services after any amendment, modification, or change, Driver/Rider has agreed to be bound by all such amendments, modifications, and changes.  Driver/Rider must carefully review this Agreement on a regular basis to maintain awareness of all amendments, modifications, and changes.  Whenever a change is made to this Agreement, RYDABLES will post a notification on the Website.  The pricing set forth on the Website supersedes all pricing set forth in this Agreement.
