ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND LIABILITY WAIVER, AND INDEMNIFICATION

I AFFIRM THE FOLLOWING:

I understand that test riding or leasing this equipment (pedal bike, electric bike, electric scooter) and using this equipment exposes me to potential hazards and risks of personal injury or death and/or the loss or damage to property.  I voluntarily enter into this Agreement.

I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY for my safety.

I acknowledge that there are inherent dangers and risks associated with riding the equipment, including risks of serious bodily injury and death, and property damage and loss, to myself and others. I acknowledge that these risks and dangers may be caused by foreseeable and unforeseeable conditions (including but not limited to road conditions, traffic, and forces of nature); negligence of myself, RIDEPANDA, and other persons participating in, or unrelated to, the Event; mechanical malfunction; lack of sufficient familiarity and experience with the vehicles and their operation; and other causes.

I am at least 18 years of age and have a valid Driver’s License and medical insurance, and understand the traffic laws and rules of the road as pertains to motorized vehicle and bicycle operations on public roads. I have no physical or mental impairment that may make it dangerous for me to operate any vehicles or otherwise to participate in the Event, including without limitation I am not under the influence of alcohol or any other drug that may impair my understanding or judgment or limit or affect my physical abilities, and I have no known physical or mental impairment that may affect my safety or that of others in my participation in the Event.

I understand the hazards, and increased power and speed, of the vehicles I will be operating at the Event. I am participating in the Event at my request, at my own risk, freely and voluntarily, and without any inducement or duress.

I agree that I will ride safely and represent that I am familiar with the safe use of the equipment being rented. I agree to comply with all applicable laws and the rules of the road wherever and whenever I use the equipment.

I agree to not change or substitute any parts on the equipment, or to use any accessories not specifically authorized by Ridepanda (including but not limited to panniers, racks, trailers, and/or pedals).

I understand how to operate the equipment’s gears (if any), brakes, and how to adjust the seat, if the equipment has a seat.  I understand and agree that if I recognize any safety issues or have any concerns I will immediately stop using any potentially affected equipment and notify Ridepanda immediately.

I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT IN A SAFE, PRUDENT, AND REASONABLE MANNER AT ALL TIMES AND UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES.  I WILL ONLY USE THE EQUIPMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH MY ABILITIES.

USE OF HELMET:  I understand the importance of wearing a helmet, and will abide by all local rules, laws, ordinances or other requirements pertaining to the use of helmets when riding the equipment.

RIDEPANDA has answered any and all of my questions regarding this Agreement and the equipment, and I understand that if I have future questions I should contact Ridepanda immediately.

I KNOWINGLY WAIVE AND DISCHARGE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, RIGHTS AND CAUSES OF ACTION AGAINST RIDEPANDA FROM WHICH I OR ANY OF MY HEIRS OR ASSIGNS HAVE OR MAY HAVE IN THE FUTURE RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.  I EXPRESSLY ASSUME ALL RISK OF LOSS, DAMAGE, OR INJURY OCCURRING AS A RESULT OF OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

On behalf of myself, and my heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and successors, I agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless (a) Ridepanda, its owners, employees, officers, directors, managers, agents, and contractors, (b) all Event organizers, sponsors, suppliers, and contractors; and (c) the owners and operators of the facilities at which the Event occurs (together, “Release Parties”) from and against any and all liability, actions, causes of actions, complaints, suits, debts, cost, losses, and damages (including attorneys fees and costs) that may arise from my participation in the Event and the operation of any Event vehicles, regardless of blame and including without limitation negligence by any of the Released Parties or any other person, either solely or jointly with any other person. On behalf of myself, and my heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and successors, I agree that neither I nor they, at any time, will commence, maintain, or prosecute any action at law or otherwise, or assert any claim against any Released Party, or seek to execute or enforce any judgment against any Released Party, for damage, loss, or equitable relief relating to the claims released by me under this agreement.

I certify that I have read the entire Assumption of Risk and Liability Waiver, fully understands it, and agrees to its terms.
