Agreement

I (Customer) have carefully read this agreement in its entirety and understand its content. I am aware this is an assumption of risk, waiver and release of liability and I sign it voluntarily.

Financial Assurance

Customer agrees to provide Ebike Barn Ltd with credit card details for precautionary use:

I authorise Ebike Barn Ltd (or) Rental Agent to charge the credit card submitted for all eventual costs in case of damages to the e-Bike(s) during my rental period, comprehensive of labour, except in the case that I can demonstrate other's faults with evidence and all necessary information for reimbursement. In case of theft, I will be responsible for reimbursing Ebike Barn Ltd (or) Rental Agent for the original price of the e-Bike(s), plus the cost of any accessories that were provided at the time of the bike rental.

Please note, we are not responsible for the recovery of the bicycle in the event of an unplanned event which is outside of our control, namely:

• Rider capability - the rider is not capable of riding a bicycle effectively
• Ride schedule - the rider is not meeting their schedule and needs to abort the trip and not return the bike to base
• Battery discharge - route planning and preparedness leaving the rider without electrical power
• Puncture - an everyday eventuality associated with bicycle riding which the renter will have been equipped to repair
• Fatigue - the rider is not in condition to ride a bicycle effectively
• Accident - where an accident prevents further travel

If the bike fails because of technical malfunction, we will arrange for repair or repatriation of the bike and associated rider. If required we can assist with repatriation at the hirers cost.
