BICYCLE RENTAL AGREEMENT IMPORTANT - READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE RENTING THE BICYCLE. THIS BICYCLE RENTAL AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”) IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SERK (THE OWNER) AND YOU, AS THE RENTER AND USER OF THE BICYCLE. OWNER IS WILLING TO ALLOW YOU RENT AND USE THE BICYCLE ONLY ON THE CONDITION THAT YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THE TERMS IN THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, SIGN BENEATH THIS AGREEMENT TO COMPLETE YOUR AGREEMENT AND ACCEPTANCE. BY RENTING OR USING THE BICYCLE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, OWNER IS UNWILLING TO ALLOW YOU TO RENT OR USE THE BICYCLE. IN SUCH CASE, DO NOT COMPLETE THE AGREEMENT PROCESS. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO RENT THE BICYCLE OR ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT. This Agreement is effective on the date you agree to the terms and conditions as provided herein (“Effective Date”). You and Owner agree as follows: 1. RISK AND LIABILITY TERMS 1.1 Acknowledgement of Risks. You understand and acknowledge that bicycling is a hazardous activity and entails known and unanticipated risks which could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. You understand that such risks cannot be eliminated by Owner without jeopardizing the essential qualities of this activity. The risks include, without limitation, falling, collision with highway or roadway vehicles, striking obstructions or other person, unsafe speed of travel for conditions, equipment failure, and weather conditions including temperature exposure (hypothermia, sunstroke, sunburn, heat exhaustion and dehydration). You acknowledge all the risks of operating a bicycle on streets, roads, bike paths, bike lanes, and in traffic, including but not limited to the risks of serious bodily injury or death from falling off the bicycle, colliding with other bicycles, motorcycles, motor vehicles or other objects, hitting potholes, or suffer sudden loss of control from flat tires due to unseen objects puncturing or damaging tires, or brakes failing, and hazards relating to weather conditions. You understand that bicycle protective gear such as helmets and gloves are recommended, but they do not eliminate the risk and may not reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident. 1.2 Assumption of Risk. YOU KNOWINGLY, INTELLIGENTLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL RISKS RELATED TO THE OPERATION AND POSSESSION OF THE BICYCLE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY BODILY INJURY OR DEATH TO ANY PERSON, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE TO ANY PROPERTY WHICH MAY RESULT FROM THE OPERATION OF THE BICYCLE OR YOUR POSSESSION OF THE BICYCLE DUE TO ANY NEGLIGENCE OF OWNER, SERK, THEIR AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, PARTNERS, PARENT OWNER, SUCCESSORS AND/OR ASSIGNS. DESPITE KNOWING ALL ASSOCIATED RISKS, YOU FREELY ASSUME ALL RISKS OF PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE IN THE OPERATION OF THIS BICYCLE AND YOU AGREE TO HOLD OWNER AND SERK HARMLESS FROM ALL CLAIMS OF INJURY OR DAMAGE. 1.3 Waiver and Release. In consideration of Owner renting you the Bicycle, you specifically release and forever discharge Owner, SERK, and their affiliates, officers, agents, and employees from any and all liability or claims for injury, illness, death or loss of or damage to property which you may suffer while renting this Bicycle and participating in bicycling. This discharge specifically includes, but is not limited to, liability or claims for injury, illness, death or damage caused by the negligence of Owner, SERK, or their affiliates, officers, agents, or employees. It is your express intent by this Agreement to release Owner and SERK and hold them harmless from all liability for any such property loss or damage, personal injury or loss of life, whether caused by the negligence of Owner or SERK or whether based upon breach of contract, breach of warranty, or any other legal theory. In agreeing to this Agreement, you fully recognize that if injury, illness, death or damage occurs to you while you are engaged in renting this Bicycle or participating in bicycling, you will have no right to make a claim or file a lawsuit against Owner, SERK or its or their affiliates, officers, agents or employees, even if they or any of them negligently cause my injury, illness, death or damage. 1.4 Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Owner and SERK, Inc. (“SERK”) and their subsidiaries, agents, licensors, managers, and other affiliated companies, and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney's fees) arising from, related to, or in any way connected with, or resulting from your participation in this activity or your use of the Bicycle, including without limitation the possession, use, operation, or return of the Bicycle, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions on the part of Owner or SERK. Should Owner or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney’s fees and costs to enforce this agreement, you agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs. 2. THIRD PARTY CLAIMS Owner is not responsible if you cause injury to another person or if you damage another Bicycle, vehicle or personal property of another. You agree to protect, defend, indemnify, hold harmless Owner and pay any claim, including attorneys’ fees, brought by a third party arising out of your use of the Bicycle and for any liability associated with any personal accident/injury as a result of your use of the Bicycle. 2.1 Insurance. You certify that you have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage you may cause or suffer while participating in the activity, or else you agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage yourself.

You certify that you have no medical or physical conditions which could interfere with your safety in this activity, or else you are willing to assume all liability, damages or costs that may be created, directly or indirectly, by any such condition. 3.
