Company reserves the right to change the Subscription Fee at any time and without notice, including after User’s Subscription has started. Users should visit the Site, the App, and/or the Personal Account periodically for up-to-date information about the Subscription, Supplementary Equipment and Service Fees. Company will charge User the initial Subscription Fee either immediately upon acceptance of User’s registration for a Subscription or certainly at the time of the E-Bike pick-up by User. Subscription fees are charged on a prospective basis, meaning that the subsequent charges will occur monthly or weekly from the date of the first charge. If User decides to add on Supplementary Equipment or Services, including Extra battery or Protection Plan, Company will also charge User for the items or services on a prospective basis until Supplementary Equipment is returned or Services are canceled. Subscription, Supplementary Equipment and Services offered by Company are subject to state, and city taxes, as well as any other local government charges. Company will charge User for any applicable taxes.

B. Payment Terms. User represents and warrants to Company that User is authorized to use any credit or debit card User furnishes to Company. User authorizes Company to charge the card for all Subscription Fees and other applicable fees, including Repair and Damage Fees, incurred by User, and to transmit User’s credit card information to Company’s third-party vendors for the sole purpose of processing such charges. All fees and costs are due when they are incurred, including Subscription Fees and Repair and Damage Fees.

Early or advance payments are welcomed and will not be penalized. Cash, checks, temporary or prepaid credit/debit cards are not an acceptable form of payment. Only valid, non-expired credit or debit cards issued in User's or, if applicable, Guarantor’s name will be accepted.

C. Disputed Charges. User may not dispute any charges on User’s credit or debit card account. User must contact Company directly of charges User would like to dispute. Company will promptly investigate the matter and will report back to User as soon as possible. In the event it is found by Company that there has been an error in billing, Company will reverse the electronic payment transaction. After the investigation is completed, the Company’s findings will be the final decision. If User initiates a dispute directly with his/her credit or debit card provider, Company reserves the right to impose a fee on User, which will be equivalent to the disputed payment along with any applicable fines. Additionally, Company may terminate the Subscription and repossess Company’s property, all at Company’s sole discretion.

D. Returned Payments. Users are billed automatically for amounts due via credit/debit card or other means. If payment of any amount due, including the Subscription Fee or Repair and Damage Fees, is rejected by the credit/debit card provided by User, Company may take the necessary steps to collect the payment. This may include performing manual charges in full or in part that, in sum, equal the amount owed. By agreeing to these terms, User consents to the Company performing such manual charges toward settling the amount owed. Company may also issue an invoice to User for the outstanding amount. If payment is not received following this invoice, Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate User’s Subscription or use of the Services at the Company's sole discretion. In addition, the Company may resort to involving legal authorities and professional debt collectors to collect the payment owed. Users are required to keep their payment method information current and accurate (e.g. billing address, credit/debit card number, and expiration date) and to notify Company if User’s credit or debit card is no longer valid. Ongoing issues with credit/debit card billings may result in termination of use of the Services. Under no circumstances will Company be responsible for any overdraft or other fees charged by User's credit/debit card issuing bank.

E. No Refunds. All fees are final and non-refundable. Company will not refund User’s card or bank any Subscription or Service Fees in the event of early return of E-Bike, Supplementary Equipment and Accessories. Only in the event when E-Bike, Supplementary Equipment and Accessories are returned on the first day of the rental period or the day after; or on the first day of the subscription renewal period and User has already paid the corresponding Subscription and Service fees, then the fees may be returned to User’s bank or card. Credit may be given to User’s bonus account in the form of bonus account money if there is any return that authorizes credit back. For example, if User paid for an extra battery and decided against the purchase, payment may be fully or partially returned in the form of credit to User’s account. Company retains sole discretion on whom it may approve for a credit or refund.

F. Partial Payments. In the event User is delinquent on any amount due, including Subscription Fees or Repair and Damage Fees, Company may elect to charge User's credit or debit card for partial payments of the amount due, without prior notice to User. User agrees to allow the Company to charge User’s card for such partial payments. Under no circumstances will the Company be responsible for any overdraft or other fees charged by User's credit/debit card issuing bank.

IV. DISCOUNTS, PROMOTIONS AND OFFERS.

A. Promotions by the Company may consist of “promo-codes” specific to certain Users or common promo-codes for all Users, limited or unlimited in their duration. Promo Codes will come directly from Company either through Company advertising or Company emails, messages, or other official means of communication. Promo-Codes are limited to one per transaction and may not be combined with other offers. If User benefitted from a special discount, promotion, or any other promoted offer that resulted in a reduction of standard fees, Company may discontinue that discount, promotion or offer without written notice. In that case, User will begin paying standard charges consistent with Company’s general fees after promotion has ended. Information about the Promo Codes, the conditions for their receipt and use may additionally be posted by Company on its official resources, including the following: getwhizz.com

B. Bonuses or “bonus money” can be added to User's account for use by User solely for subscription renewal fees and cannot be applied for the first period of subscription payment or any other fees including Repair and Damage fees or late fees. This money cannot be withdrawn from the bonus account or used for any other fee payments. The currency of the bonus account is a virtual US dollar. 1 virtual US dollar is equal to 1 US dollar. In the event, User’s subscription is canceled the money will not disappear and may be used by User if they resubscribe with the Company.

C. Delinquency in User’s Agreement. If a User fails to make a payment or returns E-Bike and equipment before the end of the term of User’s Agreement and benefited from a promo-code, the discount or bonus money may be used toward the balance of User’s subscription fees, and User will still be responsible for the cost of E-Bike and equipment.

D. Selecting a Specified Duration of Agreement. A User may benefit from discounts if User chooses to pay subscription fees upfront (for example, two months instead of one month). The monthly fees may be reduced in this event. The minimum rental period for specified discounts is two months.

E. The Company makes every effort to ensure that the pricing and promotions displayed on the Company’s website, its social media, in its advertisements, in the App or in any distributed materials including leaflets, mailouts, SMS, are accurate and up-to-date. However, there may be instances where technical bugs or glitches may result in incorrect pricing or promotion information being displayed. In such cases, the Company reserves the right to correct the pricing or promotion information without any liability to User.

User must exercise prudent and reasonable judgment when parking the E-Bike.

D. E-Bike Operation Exclusively for Intended Use.

User agrees to bring the bicycle for maintenance at least once during each month while the subscription is active and while User is in possession of Whizz's property. In addition to the monthly maintenance, if the Company contacts User to bring the bike for unscheduled maintenance or repair, User must promptly comply with the request and bring the E-Bike to the designated location specified by the Company.

Until these conditions are met, the Subscription cannot be considered canceled.

Failure to return the Company's property will result in an automatic renewal of the Subscription for the subsequent period and will continue indefinitely until the property is returned. If there are outstanding amounts, the Company will make continuous efforts to collect the monies owed by charging User’s designated payment method. User authorizes the Company to make such charges and agrees not to dispute them, even after the property has been returned to the Company.

B. Termination by Company. Company may terminate this Agreement and User's Subscription upon notice to User at any time, with or without cause. While Company does not require any cause to terminate this Agreement and User's Subscription, some common causes for termination are as follows:

  • Dispute of any charges performed by the Company for the Services provided.
  • Failure to comply with any provision of the Legal Terms.
  • Involvement in an unreasonable incident, rendering User ineligible or inappropriate for continued use of the Service.
  • Involvement in the unauthorized sale or resale of the Company's property provided for rental.
  • Engagement in any conduct that the Company determines to be unsafe, reckless, inappropriate, negligent, offensive, fraudulent, or otherwise unacceptable, including failing to observe any safety requirement set forth in this Agreement or applicable law, whether observed by the Company or the Company's representatives directly or as reported to the Company by a third party along with credible evidence, the credibility of which will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
  • Initiation of insolvency/bankruptcy proceedings against User.
  • Dishonest, untruthful, or incomplete disclosure of required information by User.
  • Failure to comply with the rules and guidelines for the E-Bike and Supplementary Equipment, such as leaving the E-Bike unlocked or unattended on the street or leaving the battery in the E-Bike.

Any Repair and Damage fees that are accrued by User must be paid in full or through an agreed-upon payment plan to avoid termination by the Company. If User accrues a Repair and Damage fee of $100 or more and fails to pay it or set up a payment plan, the Company may terminate User's Subscription and repossess the Company’s property immediately without prior notice.

C. No Reimbursements. No payments, fully or partially, will be reimbursed to User if Company terminates User’s Subscription. The security deposit will be used toward any outstanding amounts owed by User.

D. Repossession. In the event User's Subscription falls into default or becomes delinquent, the Company reserves the right to repossess E-Bike, Supplementary Equipment and Accessories without providing prior notice to User. Repossession specialists or other Company representatives may reclaim E-Bike at any time following the onset of User's Subscription default or delinquency. User agrees to pay a repossession fee if E-Bike, Supplementary Equipment and Accessories are repossessed, unless the repossession occurs on the Company's premises.

XV. FAILURE TO PAY SUBSCRIPTION, DAMAGES, AND LATE FEES

A. Failure to Pay. If User fails to pay the standard monthly or weekly fee, or return E-Bike, Supplementary Equipment and Accessories to the Company when due, User agrees to be contacted by the Company at the phone number or email provided by User and charged outstanding amounts associated with the Subscription, both in full or partially. The same applies if User fails to pay for Repair and Damage Fees , either in full or through an agreed-upon payment plan.

B. E-Bike Deactivation. If User does not pay the standard monthly or weekly fee, or return the E-Bike, Supplementary Equipment and Accessories to the Company when due, the Company reserves the right to disable the electrical components of the E-Bike at its discretion and without prior notification.

C. Additional Fees. On the third day following a missed Subscription Fee while E-Bike, Supplementary Equipment and Accessories have not been returned to the Company, there will be an automatic renewal of the standard monthly or weekly Subscription and a late fee of 16% for all Services provided. In addition, state and local taxes will be applied. Company agrees to give notice to User of incoming late fees prior to charging the additional fees.

E. Failure to Return Equipment. If User does not pay Subscription and Service fees in full and does not return all equipment within a reasonable time frame, Company reserves the right to charge User the Repair and Damage Fees equivalent to the full value of the property not returned and any associated additional fees, such as a late fee and an administrative fee. The Company will deem E-Bike, Supplementary Equipment and Accessories stolen and reserves the right to pursue all available legal remedies. This may include seeking monetary compensation through reports to credit agencies, engaging professional debt collectors, filing a police report, and initiating litigation.

F. Collections. Company uses a third-party debt collection agency to retrieve outstanding debts such as unpaid Subscription Fees, Repair and Damage Fees, administrative and late fees, court fees, forfeited bonds and ordered restitution, and other applicable fees. User understands and accepts that delinquent payments may be placed into collections at any time and that this may negatively impact User’s credit score. Once the account has been placed with a collections agency, User understands that any negotiations or discussions regarding the settlement of the debt should be conducted directly with the collections agency. User understands and accepts that the collections agency will continue to contact User until debts are paid in full. User will incur a one-time administrative fee of $150 for the transfer of User’s delinquent account to third-party debt collection agencies.

G. Allocation of Legal Costs. In the event the Company deems it necessary to retain legal counsel to enforce a breach of this Agreement, the allocation of attorney’s fees will be at the sole discretion of the Company. User may be held responsible for covering the incurred attorney’s fees, which will be determined by Company based on the circumstances of the breach.

H. Payment Application. In the event that User is delinquent and has an open debt with the Company but makes a payment toward a new Subscription or a new purchase of E-bike, the payment will be applied first toward the open debt until it is settled. Once the open debt is settled, any remaining portion of the payment may be applied toward the new Subscription or purchase, if any. Until the open debt is fully settled, User may be suspended or terminated from using the Company’s Services or purchasing Company products. Company reserves the right to apply payments in a manner it deems appropriate in order to collect any outstanding debts owed by User.

XVI. INDEMNIFICATION, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

A. Indemnification. User agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Company, its affiliates, and its and their respective, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (collectively, “Company Parties”) from and against any claims, losses, obligations, damages, or expenses arising from User’s use of or access to the Services, use of the Services or any E-Bike or Supplementary Equipment, breach of the Legal Terms, or violation of any law or the rights of a third party. This provision will continue to be effective after the termination of this Agreement.

B. Waiver and Release. In consideration of Company providing Services, User specifically releases and forever discharges Company Parties from any and all liability or claims for injury, illness, death or loss of or damage to property which User may suffer while using Services and participating in associated activities. This discharge specifically includes, but is not limited to, liability or claims for injury, illness, death or damage caused by the negligence of Company Parties. It is the express intent of this Agreement that User release Company Parties 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 Company Parties or whether based upon breach of contract, breach of warranty, or any other legal theory. In agreeing to this Agreement, User fully recognizes that if injury, illness, death or damage occurs while engaged in using Services or participating in bicycling, or any other activity associated with the E-Bike, User will have no right to make a claim or file a lawsuit against Company Parties, even if any of them negligently cause any injury, illness, death or damage.

C. Limitation of Liability.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Company parties be liable for any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses, that result from any use of, or inability to use, the services.

If any of Company parties are found to be liable, such liability to User or to any third party is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees paid hereunder and (b) $100.

This limitation of liability section applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if Company parties have been advised of the possibility of such damage. The foregoing limitation of liability will apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction.

D. No Warranty. The bike is provided to User on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Company makes no warranty, express or implied, as to any matter whatsoever including, without limitation, the condition of an E-Bike, helmet, or any item provided in the supplementary equipment, or their merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

E. Assumption of High-Risk Activity. User understands that using any of Company’s Services, E-Bikes, and/or related equipment exposes User to known and unknown risks, dangers, and hazards that could result in injury, illness, or death to User or others, as well as property damage, and that such risks, dangers, and hazards cannot always be predicted or avoided. User acknowledges and assumes these risks and waives all Company liability. See examples:

  • Death or serious injury is possible
  • Head-on collisions are the most common and fatal type of E-Bike crash
  • Accidents also frequently occur on left hand turns or while stopped at a traffic intersection since an E-Bike is more difficult for other drivers to see
  • Other common reasons behind many E-Bike accidents (but not a comprehensive list) include potholes, uneven pavement, riding carelessly in inclement weather, dead animals or debris in the road or sidewalk, or speeding
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, stimulants, thinners, or medications that affect E-Bike operation is prohibited
  • An E-Bike accident may cause head and/or brain injury, neck and/or spinal cord injury, back injury, nerve damage, loss of hands, feet, fingers and other limbs, paralysis, and death

F. Prohibited Use. Any use of an E-Bike, Supplementary Equipment and Accessories prohibited by this Agreement voids all coverages or warranties (including insurance, accident, or liability coverages or protection plan); makes E-Bike, Supplementary Equipment and Accessories subject to immediate confiscation by Company without any notice to User; and makes User responsible for all loss or damage to, or connected with E-Bike, Supplementary Equipment and Accessories, including Company expenses, to the extent that such loss or damage is caused by such prohibited use.

XVII. LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS

Failure to pay for the Subscription, late fees, administrative fees, Repair and Damage Fees, Loss/Stolen E-Bikes Fees, or all/any other applicable charges incurred by User as outlined in Annex B and/ or Annex C, not limited to failure to return Supplementary Equipment, will result in legal action against User. User will bear full responsibility for all legal fees associated with the collection of the owed balance, including court costs, filing fees, the utilization of an enforcement officer, and any other applicable fees incurred by the Company. The exact amount of these fees will be determined by Company and may be imposed on User as deemed necessary in the collection process.
