Rental Services Terms

  • To rent equipment from AO, the Customer must first upload a valid driver’s license along with AO waiver form, as well as a valid credit card; other forms of valid identification are also accepted (i.e. passport & BCID). Prepaid credit cards cards that can be reloaded are not accepted. The document and credit card will be kept by AO until the equipment is returned in the condition in which they were received. There will be a pre-authorized hold on your credit card as listed in the “Pre-Authorized Hold” section of this document, and will be released within 4 business days if no damages/ lost equipment were discovered and reported.
  1. Using our equipment necessitates the user’s physical fitness and technical knowledge. As a result, when a consumer rents our equipment, they confirm without hesitation that they have sufficient knowledge and skills to safely operate our equipment.
  2. AO equipment is only to be used as a mode of transportation and must be treated with caution, common sense, and diligence to avoid damage. Using AO equipment rental  for commercial purposes or selling to third parties is absolutely prohibited.
  3. Until our equipment is returned to AO, the user is totally liable for it. During the use of our equipment, the user is also totally responsible for any damage to themselves, the vehicle, other parties, and any other goods. The user cannot make any claims and is not entitled to any compensation from AO.
  4. Neither the Customer nor our equipment is protected by any type of personal or liability insurance throughout the rental period unless our optional LLDC is purchased during checkout. As a result, the user must follow the regulations of the environment in which they plan on operating our equipment. AO disclaims all responsibility for incorrect bike use or the user’s refusal to follow the by-law restrictions and regulations.
  5. Following the rental period, AO will conduct an inspection of returned equipment and go through a comprehensive checklist to ensure the equipment is returned in the condition in which they were received by the user. If it is determined that the equipment and/or the accessories have sustained any damages/ loss, AO reserves the right to deduct from the pre-authorized holds the amount necessary to repair or replace the equipment at the user’s expense, unless LLDC was previously purchased. Please see below the terms of LLDC.
  6. AO equipment must be returned to the agreed return location by both parties within the timeframes specified in the rental agreement. Only when the equipment is returned to AO and the contract’s return form is countersigned will it be considered successfully returned. Parking the e-bike outside the rental location after it has closed is not considered a proper return. Failure to return the bike without prior notice and countersignature or without demonstrating extraordinary circumstances is considered theft, and the user may be reported to the authorities and/or will be charged the full cost of the equipment.
  7. From the time the equipment rental begins until they are returned, and the rental contract is countersigned, the user is responsible for the rental expenses. In addition, the user will be responsible for any damages, including entire or partial theft.
  8. In the case that AO equipment is stolen, the user must notify the police and send a copy of the theft report to AO staff. As compensation for the stolen equipment, the user will be charged the pre-authorized hold amount. This money will be reimbursed to the Customer if the bike is located or fully recovered in the condition it was initially rented by the user.
  9. Due to the nature of the bulky equipment with many moving parts, it is not possible to thoroughly inspect all parts of the returned equipment within a reasonable time. Within 3 business days following the return of the equipment, AO staff will perform a full inspection on the returned equipment and release the pre-authorized hold and the 75% refund of the cost of LLDC (if purchased at checkout).
  10. Our rental services cancellation policy is:
    1. Full refund with cancellations before 9am PST the day before the booking.
    2. No refunds/ credits after 9am PST the day before the booking.

This services agreement further enforces that the rental agreement waiver forms sent to you following your reservations outline detailed terms to follow and abide by throughout your rental duration. All terms throughout the rental waiver documents are enforceable in addition to the terms outlined throughout this document.


Rental Pre-Authorized Hold & Use Terms

As is common practice in the rental industry, we require a pre-authorized hold of funds to secure our expensive equipment (i.e. ebikes, SUPs, and cargo boxes). These funds will be held until products are returned and are in the same condition as when they were received. This hold will apply to all equipment rented and are in the following average amounts, subject to change based on retail price and additional accessories rented:

  1. Retail value of the equipment rented up to $1500.00.

 

These funds shall be held until 3 business days following rental return, for a thorough investigation if needed. If the rental kits have sustained damage/ contain missing parts/ returned dirty, AO reserves the right to deduct from the held funds the amount equal to the replacement of parts and associated installation fees, or retail replacement of the entire kit. All efforts will be taken to repair/ replace/ clean the parts necessary to continue the smooth operation of the item/ equipment, if unsuccessful, all funds will be withheld to replace the necessary equipment.

The Pre-Authorized Holds apply to all service orders placed, regardless of the purchase of optional LLDC. Please see the terms of LLDC stated earlier within this document.

Because our fleet of equipment contains numerous parts and is case by case, we are unable to provide an exact estimate of all fees in this document. However, our policy will remain that we will charge the full price of retail at the time of rental return. Should a retail replacement be needed, AO will use the preauthorized funds to replace the items in the amount of retail value at the time of the rental equipment return + $44.24 service fees.


Limited Loss Damage Coverage (LLDC) Terms

You will not be held liable for total loss or damage to the AO equipment if you purchase LLDC advertised as Full Coverage Insurance (FCI) and Cosmetic Insurance (CI). Your entitled coverage is up to a maximum of $250.00 cost of functional repair or replacement (FCI), and $100.00 cost of cosmetic repair or replacement (CI), providing the loss or damage was not caused by any prohibited use of our equipment. All damages and associated fees in excess of $300.00 functional and $150.00 cosmetic are your financial responsibility and will be charged to the credit card on file.

  1. The optional insurance coverage purchased is to cover any damages sustained during regular use of our rental equipment, both functional and cosmetic respectively.
  2. It is not necessary to purchase LLDC in order to rent our equipment.
  3. Unless one of the two insurance packages are purchased along with your equipment rental, AO does not provide coverage. This means that you are fully responsible for any damages, both cosmetic and functional, and the subsequent financial penalties.
  4. If the renter accepts LLDC, AO waives or reduces the renter’s liability for loss or damage to the rental equipment (including but not limited to towing, storage, loss of use, administrative fees, and/or diminished value), subject to the rental agreement’s terms and conditions and applicable laws.
  5. LLDC is not insurance and it does not provide bodily liability and third party liability insurance. It simply covers all or part of the costs of repair or replacement of our rental equipment, should a damage be caused accidentally. LLDC does not cover damages caused to other parties and objects. It covers only AO’s rental equipment and the associated accessories.
  6. LLDC may overlap with the renter’s current insurance policy. Because AO is not qualified to assess the quality of the renter’s current coverage, the renter should review his or her credit card protections, third party insurance policies, and other sources of coverage that may duplicate the protection given by LLDC.
  7. Once you have properly reported the accident in line with the rental agreement, LLDC will immediately attach to the claim. You are required to inform AO of any and all damages (both cosmetic and functional), regardless of LLDC. If you have purchased LLDC at the time of reservation, we will immediately apply the terms of LLDC to your claim.
  8. If our rental equipment was being operated by anyone other than the renter on file, LLDC coverage will not cover any damages and no refunds will be issued.
  9. Due to the nature of the bulky equipment with many moving parts, it is not possible to thoroughly inspect all parts of the returned equipment within a reasonable time. Within 3 business days following the return of the equipment, AO staff will perform a full inspection on the returned equipment and release the pre-authorized hold and the 75% refund of the cost of LLDC (if purchased at checkout). If the equipment is discovered to be damaged, proof will be provided to the user and the associated costs will be communicated and deducted.
  10. If the equipment is returned without damages, the Customer is entitled to a 75% refund of the cost of LLDC which will be issued within 2 business days after thorough inspection of the returned equipment.

Rental Services Terms

  • To rent equipment from AO, the Customer must first upload a valid driver’s license along with AO waiver form, as well as a valid credit card; other forms of valid identification are also accepted (i.e. passport & BCID). Prepaid credit cards cards that can be reloaded are not accepted. The document and credit card will be kept by AO until the equipment is returned in the condition in which they were received. There will be a pre-authorized hold on your credit card as listed in the “Pre-Authorized Hold” section of this document, and will be released within 4 business days if no damages/ lost equipment were discovered and reported.
  1. Using our equipment necessitates the user’s physical fitness and technical knowledge. As a result, when a consumer rents our equipment, they confirm without hesitation that they have sufficient knowledge and skills to safely operate our equipment.
  2. AO equipment is only to be used as a mode of transportation and must be treated with caution, common sense, and diligence to avoid damage. Using AO equipment rental  for commercial purposes or selling to third parties is absolutely prohibited.
  3. Until our equipment is returned to AO, the user is totally liable for it. During the use of our equipment, the user is also totally responsible for any damage to themselves, the vehicle, other parties, and any other goods. The user cannot make any claims and is not entitled to any compensation from AO.
  4. Neither the Customer nor our equipment is protected by any type of personal or liability insurance throughout the rental period unless our optional LLDC is purchased during checkout. As a result, the user must follow the regulations of the environment in which they plan on operating our equipment. AO disclaims all responsibility for incorrect bike use or the user’s refusal to follow the by-law restrictions and regulations.
  5. Following the rental period, AO will conduct an inspection of returned equipment and go through a comprehensive checklist to ensure the equipment is returned in the condition in which they were received by the user. If it is determined that the equipment and/or the accessories have sustained any damages/ loss, AO reserves the right to deduct from the pre-authorized holds the amount necessary to repair or replace the equipment at the user’s expense, unless LLDC was previously purchased. Please see below the terms of LLDC.
  6. AO equipment must be returned to the agreed return location by both parties within the timeframes specified in the rental agreement. Only when the equipment is returned to AO and the contract’s return form is countersigned will it be considered successfully returned. Parking the e-bike outside the rental location after it has closed is not considered a proper return. Failure to return the bike without prior notice and countersignature or without demonstrating extraordinary circumstances is considered theft, and the user may be reported to the authorities and/or will be charged the full cost of the equipment.
  7. From the time the equipment rental begins until they are returned, and the rental contract is countersigned, the user is responsible for the rental expenses. In addition, the user will be responsible for any damages, including entire or partial theft.
  8. In the case that AO equipment is stolen, the user must notify the police and send a copy of the theft report to AO staff. As compensation for the stolen equipment, the user will be charged the pre-authorized hold amount. This money will be reimbursed to the Customer if the bike is located or fully recovered in the condition it was initially rented by the user.
  9. Due to the nature of the bulky equipment with many moving parts, it is not possible to thoroughly inspect all parts of the returned equipment within a reasonable time. Within 3 business days following the return of the equipment, AO staff will perform a full inspection on the returned equipment and release the pre-authorized hold and the 75% refund of the cost of LLDC (if purchased at checkout).
  10. Our rental services cancellation policy is:
    1. Full refund with cancellations before 9am PST the day before the booking.
    2. No refunds/ credits after 9am PST the day before the booking.

This services agreement further enforces that the rental agreement waiver forms sent to you following your reservations outline detailed terms to follow and abide by throughout your rental duration. All terms throughout the rental waiver documents are enforceable in addition to the terms outlined throughout this document.


Rental Pre-Authorized Hold & Use Terms

As is common practice in the rental industry, we require a pre-authorized hold of funds to secure our expensive equipment (i.e. ebikes, SUPs, and cargo boxes). These funds will be held until products are returned and are in the same condition as when they were received. This hold will apply to all equipment rented and are in the following average amounts, subject to change based on retail price and additional accessories rented:

  1. Ebikes & Accessories: $600.00 per rental kit.
  2. SUPs & Accessories: $350.00 per rental kit.
  3. Bicycle Carrier: $450 per rental.
  4. Hitch Cargo Carrier: $350 per rental.
  5. Roof Cargo Basket: $400 per rental
  6. Escooter: $1000 per rental
  7. Rooftop Cargo Boxes: $700 per rental.

These funds shall be held until 3 business days following rental return, for a thorough investigation if needed. If the rental kits have sustained damage/ contain missing parts/ returned dirty, AO reserves the right to deduct from the held funds the amount equal to the replacement of parts and associated installation fees, or retail replacement of the entire kit. All efforts will be taken to repair/ replace/ clean the parts necessary to continue the smooth operation of the item/ equipment, if unsuccessful, all funds will be withheld to replace the necessary equipment.

The Pre-Authorized Holds apply to all service orders placed, regardless of the purchase of optional LLDC. Please see the terms of LLDC stated earlier within this document.

Because our fleet of equipment contains numerous parts and is case by case, we are unable to provide an exact estimate of all fees in this document. However, our policy will remain that we will charge the full price of retail at the time of rental return. Should a retail replacement be needed, AO will use the preauthorized funds to replace the items in the amount of retail value at the time of the rental equipment return + $44.24 service fees.


Limited Loss Damage Coverage (LLDC) Terms

You will not be held liable for total loss or damage to the AO equipment if you purchase LLDC advertised as Full Coverage Insurance (FCI) and Cosmetic Insurance (CI). Your entitled coverage is up to a maximum of $250.00 cost of functional repair or replacement (FCI), and $100.00 cost of cosmetic repair or replacement (CI), providing the loss or damage was not caused by any prohibited use of our equipment. All damages and associated fees in excess of $300.00 functional and $150.00 cosmetic are your financial responsibility and will be charged to the credit card on file.

  1. The optional insurance coverage purchased is to cover any damages sustained during regular use of our rental equipment, both functional and cosmetic respectively.
  2. It is not necessary to purchase LLDC in order to rent our equipment.
  3. Unless one of the two insurance packages are purchased along with your equipment rental, AO does not provide coverage. This means that you are fully responsible for any damages, both cosmetic and functional, and the subsequent financial penalties.
  4. If the renter accepts LLDC, AO waives or reduces the renter’s liability for loss or damage to the rental equipment (including but not limited to towing, storage, loss of use, administrative fees, and/or diminished value), subject to the rental agreement’s terms and conditions and applicable laws.
  5. LLDC is not insurance and it does not provide bodily liability and third party liability insurance. It simply covers all or part of the costs of repair or replacement of our rental equipment, should a damage be caused accidentally. LLDC does not cover damages caused to other parties and objects. It covers only AO’s rental equipment and the associated accessories.
  6. LLDC may overlap with the renter’s current insurance policy. Because AO is not qualified to assess the quality of the renter’s current coverage, the renter should review his or her credit card protections, third party insurance policies, and other sources of coverage that may duplicate the protection given by LLDC.
  7. Once you have properly reported the accident in line with the rental agreement, LLDC will immediately attach to the claim. You are required to inform AO of any and all damages (both cosmetic and functional), regardless of LLDC. If you have purchased LLDC at the time of reservation, we will immediately apply the terms of LLDC to your claim.
  8. If our rental equipment was being operated by anyone other than the renter on file, LLDC coverage will not cover any damages and no refunds will be issued.
  9. Due to the nature of the bulky equipment with many moving parts, it is not possible to thoroughly inspect all parts of the returned equipment within a reasonable time. Within 3 business days following the return of the equipment, AO staff will perform a full inspection on the returned equipment and release the pre-authorized hold and the 75% refund of the cost of LLDC (if purchased at checkout). If the equipment is discovered to be damaged, proof will be provided to the user and the associated costs will be communicated and deducted.
  10. If the equipment is returned without damages, the Customer is entitled to a 75% refund of the cost of LLDC which will be issued within 2 business days after thorough inspection of the returned equipment.
