TERMS FOR RENTERS

INFORMATION PROVIDED TO VINTY

As part of establishing and maintaining your status as an authorized renter through the Platform, You will need to provide certain information about yourself and your driving record. You understand and agree that You must meet the eligibility requirements at all times during Your use of the Services and use of a car obtained through the Platform; if, after initial approval, You later fail to meet the eligibility requirements (e.g., You have a subsequent driving violation that would make you ineligible), You are required to inform us of the change in status, and refrain from renting or driving cars via the Services.

You authorize Vinty, either itself or through a third party consumer reporting agency, to obtain Your driving record, information about your driving history, and other applicable reports at any time, in order to verify that You meet the eligibility requirements of the Platform. You hereby authorize, without reservation, any law enforcement agency, administrator, state or federal agency, or information service bureau to furnish any and all background information requested by Vinty as it pertains to your motor vehicle or driving record(s). You may withdraw such authorization at any time by contacting Vinty in writing to the address provided in this Agreement, but You understand that such withdrawal may result in the termination of Your Account. You understand and agree that Vinty may periodically request additional verification of eligibility and proper verification of usage from You, and that if you fail to provide satisfactory evidence of Your continued compliance with this Agreement, or fail to disclose any car- and driving-related violations, accidents or other material information, Vinty may terminate Your Account immediately.

FEES AND LOSSES

You are responsible for paying all fees when they come due in connection with your use of the Platform. You authorize Vinty or any third-party payment platform which Vinty may use to charge any payment cards on file in your account for all amounts due, including but not limited to, security deposits, processing fees, usage fees, fines/penalties, deductibles and damages, and you furthermore represent and warrant that you have the right to make this authorization.

Usage Fees. You will be responsible for payment of usage fees from the start of your rental period until the time you return the car. You will be responsible for all of the costs relating to any citations and fines (e.g. tolls, parking tickets, towing fines) incurred during the rental period, and You will be responsible for all costs incurred after the rental period, including but not limited to, in the event the car has not been parked in an authorized and legal parking space.

Exhaustion of Personal Insurance. In the event that any damage, losses or other liabilities are incurred during your rental period, you acknowledge that any personal insurance you have available to you (e.g., personal auto insurance, insurance from credit cards, etc.) will be the primary source of funds that must be used to settle such liabilities, and any protection or insurance retained by the owner(s) of any vehicle on the Platform (“Owner”) shall not be used to satisfy such liabilities until your personal insurance has been exhausted. Vinty retains the right to demand that You pay such costs and damages incurred by the Owner as a result of Your use of the car out of Your personal insurance, but Vinty is under no obligation to facilitate such payments.

Operating a vehicle from the Platform while under the influence of drugs or alcohol shall be considered a breach of this Agreement. Subject to the coverage and protection available to you, you acknowledge that you are fully responsible for any damage, losses or other liabilities relating to your rental activities through the Platform and Services.

You agree that in the event damage is reported, Vinty may immediately charge you up to the amount stipulated with the protection package that you selected when you booked the car (if such protection package exists).

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit your responsibilities or Vinty’s legal rights in connection with your use of the Platform (or any vehicles rented through the Platform) or the Platform.

USE OF THE CAR

You must exercise best efforts to care for the car you are entrusted with. In the event Vinty has any concern about your use of a vehicle, Vinty may terminate your reservation in its discretion at any time and require the return of the vehicle. Vinty retains the right to recover the vehicle from You on behalf of the Owner(s), but Vinty is not obligated to recover the vehicle.

When you rent a car through Vinty, you may use the car only for your personal use and not for any commercial purposes (e.g. running a taxi service, Uber, etc.), unless otherwise agreed in writing with Vinty.

You are required to follow any laws or vehicle regulations during the operation of the car, including but not limited to using seatbelts and using car seats for young passengers. If you have any concerns about your planned use, please contact Vinty customer service at [email protected].

You also acknowledge that using a vehicle in a prohibited manner may lower the renter’s liability coverage to state minimum limits or nullify coverage, where allowed by applicable state law, and may furthermore nullify any comprehensive or collision protection.

CONDITION OF THE CAR.

You understand that, unless otherwise specifically noted, the cars offered through the Platform are owned by the Owner(s) and are not owned or maintained by Vinty. Each Owner is responsible for maintaining and repairing the car(s) they offer through the Platform in a roadworthy condition and is ultimately responsible for the condition of the car at the beginning of the rental period.

You must complete a visual inspection of any rented car before you begin Your use of the car. If you find damage in your initial inspection, You must notify Vinty immediately to avoid any confusion about Your role in the cause of the damage, or You may be held liable for any damage. As an alternative, You and the Owner can jointly agree and document such agreement, with supporting photographs, of any pre-existing damage for which You as the renter should not be liable. If You find damage on Your initial inspection and fail to report it, Vinty may assume that the damage occurred during Your rental period. If, after Your initial inspection, You believe that the car is not safe enough to drive, please do not use the car; in that event, please contact the Vinty team immediately via email.

CANCELLATION POLICY

If you decide to cancel your reservation, please contact us right away by emailing [email protected]. The Service Fee is refunded only if the booking is cancelled within 24 hours of the booking being accepted by the owner. We offer a full refund of the rental price (not including the service fee) if you notify us via email at least 14 days prior to your reservation date, and a 50% refund if you notify us at least 72 hours prior to the reservation date. If Vinty receives any notice of cancellation within 72 hours of the reservation date, You will not be entitled to a refund. In the unlikely event that an Owner must cancel a reservation, Vinty will provide either a replacement option of equal or lesser value, or a full refund if a replacement option is not available.

INCIDENT REPORTING.

You must immediately report any damage to the car you are using to Vinty at [email protected], and if there has been a collision, to the police as well. You will need to use all reasonable efforts to secure evidence from any available witnesses and to provide Vinty with a written description of the incident and any other information Vinty may request, including identity and insurance information of any parties involved in the incident. You are also required to cooperate in any loss investigation conducted by Vinty, the Owner(s), Vinty and the Owner(s)’ claims administrators and insurers. After an incident, you shall cease using the car unless you have the explicit written permission of Vinty staff or the Owner. Failure to timely report an incident may reduce or invalidate any protection from Vinty.

INSURANCE

You understand and agree that Vinty does not provide insurance of any kind to the renter or Owner(s). Renters must look to their personal insurance coverage or that of the Owner(s) for insurance coverage.

TERMS FOR OWNERS

Owner agrees to:

6. Respond to any recall or similar safety notices and to complete any recommended action promptly.

7. Maintain insurance policies on the vehicle that provide protection against bodily injury and property damage to third parties at levels of coverage that meet minimum insurance levels required by law.

Either Vinty or Owner can take down any or all car listings at will, at any time. An Owner wishing to remove a listing can do so by deleting the listing via his/her Account.

OWNER CANCELLATION POLICY

ADDITIONAL VINTY’S RIGHTS.

FORCE MAJEURE

Vinty shall be excused from performance under this Agreement, to the extent it is prevented or delayed from performing, in whole or in part, as a result of an event or series of events caused by or resulting from: (a) weather conditions or other elements of nature or acts of God; (b) acts of war, acts of terrorism, insurrection, riots, civil disorders, or rebellion; (c) quarantines or embargoes; (d) labor strikes; (e) error or disruption to major computer hardware or networks or software failures; or (g) other causes beyond the reasonable control of Vinty.

SEVERABILITY

If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms will remain valid and enforceable. Upon such determination that any term is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, You shall negotiate in good faith with Vinty to modify this Agreement to affect the original intent of the drafters as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to any conflict of laws rules or principles. Vinty’s failure to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not be considered a waiver of those rights.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

For any and all dispute You may have with Vinty, You agree to first contact Vinty and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. In the unlikely event that Vinty has not been able to resolve a dispute within 30 days, You and Vinty each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) in connection with the Services, including breach or alleged breach of this Agreement and other “Claims”, by binding arbitration.

Unless You and Vinty decide otherwise, arbitration will be conducted in San Diego, California through JAMS/Endispute. Each party will be responsible for paying its own equally proportionate share of any filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and reasonable costs for experts and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief from the courts for matters related to intellectual property rights or unauthorized access to the Service.

JURY TRIAL WAIVER

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND, UNLESS THE PARTIES AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND VINTY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
