B. Customer Responsibilities
Customers are responsible for ensuring the vehicle is used in accordance with the rental agreement. This includes adhering to traffic laws, avoiding reckless driving, and ensuring the vehicle is parked safely when not in use.
C. Procedure for Accidents and Damages
In the event of an accident or damage to the vehicle, customers must follow these steps:
-
Ensure all parties are safe and contact emergency services if necessary.
-
Notify us immediately using the provided emergency contact number.
-
Document incident with photos and gather information from any involved parties.
-
Complete and submit an accident report form provided by us.

VII. Dispute Resolution
A. Procedure for Addressing Disputes
In the event of a dispute, we encourage customers to first contact our customer service team to seek a resolution. If the issue remains unresolved, a formal complaint can be submitted in writing. We will respond within 14 days to address the complaint and work towards a mutually satisfactory solution.
B. Legal Jurisdiction
All rental agreements are governed by the laws of the state in which the rental originates. By entering into a rental agreement, both parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in that state for the resolution of any disputes arising from the agreement.
C. Mediation and Arbitration Options
We offer mediation and arbitration as alternatives to litigation for resolving disputes. Mediation involves a neutral third party to facilitate a resolution, while arbitration is a more formal process where an arbitrator makes a binding decision. These options are available to expedite dispute resolution and minimize legal costs.
VIII. Termination Clause
A. Conditions for Termination by Either Party
Either party may terminate the rental agreement under certain conditions. Customers may terminate the agreement if the vehicle does not meet safety or performance standards. We reserve the right to terminate the agreement if the customer violates any terms, engages in illegal activities, or misuses the vehicle.
B. Notice Period
To terminate the rental agreement, a notice period of 24 hours is required from both parties. This allows adequate time to make necessary arrangements and ensures a smooth transition.
C. Consequences of Termination
Upon termination, the vehicle must be returned immediately. Any outstanding rental charges will be calculated on a pro-rata basis. If the termination is due to a breach of contract by the customer, additional fees may apply, including charges for damages or loss of use.
IX. Confidentiality and Privacy
We are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of our customers. All personal information collected during the rental process is used solely for rental purposes and is safeguarded against unauthorized access. We do not share customer data with third parties without explicit consent, except as required by law.
