1 INTRODUCTION
These general terms and conditions apply to the use of rental Bikes provided by BestoEPV (“BestoEPV”, “Our”, or “We”) and operating in Antigua & Barbuda and all other areas where these terms and conditions may apply legally.
2 REGISTRATION AND CONFIRMATION
2.1 To register as a Customer/Member/User, you must:
(a) be aged 18 years or over and be ;
(b) ensure that all data provided by you is accurate;
(c) agree that you have authority to agree to these Terms, whether personally or on behalf of an entity you’ve included in your user account registration
2.2 If you don’t agree to these Terms, you may not use our Services. We may amend these Terms from time to time, and the revised version will be effective when posted on this website or otherwise made available to you. The revised Terms supersede any previous versions. While we will provide you advance notice of any important revisions, we do recommend that you regularly review these Terms because your continued use of our Services after we make any changes to them constitutes your agreement to those changes. These Terms also expressly supersede any prior agreements or arrangements we may have with you. You may of course stop using our Services at any time, and we may terminate these Terms or your use of any Services, or generally cease offering or deny access to any portion of the Services, at any time in our sole discretion.
1) Registration (application for registration with BestoEPV) is possible by mobile App.
2) Following the provision of all relevant personal data, BestoEPV has the right to accept or refuse the application. As part of the approval process, BestoEPV is authorised to check the creditworthiness of the applicant using the services provided by Our third-party processor.
3) Account Set Up. You need an account to use our Services, which requires a valid debit or credit card or other approved payment method with expiration date (which is passed to our third party payment processor – we do not receive or store this information ourselves) What you provide us must be true, accurate, complete and updated as necessary to remain accurate. Create a username and a strong password and don’t share either with anyone – your account is personal to you and not intended for anyone else, and you are responsible for all activity that occurs under it. Let us know immediately if you suspect unauthorized use of your account. We have the right to provide your various account details (like billing, account, content or use records and related information) if required by law (which may include mandatory data sharing with governments), and to protect our rights, customers or business.
4) We take fraud seriously, both for your protection and ours. You may only use a payment method that you have the legal right to use and you authorize us to charge this payment method for any charges you incur. If we suspect that any information you’ve provided is inaccurate, incomplete or fraudulent, we may suspend or terminate your account if and until the issue is resolved. During that time, you will lose access to some or all of our Services, either temporarily or permanently.
5) You are obliged to inform BestoEPV immediately of any changes to their personal information. This applies especially, but is not limited to, information regarding payment (debit or credit card number, banking information).
6) BestoEPV and their licensing partners may send additional information other than that which is necessary for the rental itself (Bike no., lock code, etc.). This may include, but is not limited to, info from sponsors and partners.
3 USING OUR SERVICES
You can use the App to locate, reserve and access our available Products. Please understand that for supply and related reasons, we reserve the right to accept or reject your reservation requests, and your receipt of our confirmation does not necessarily equal acceptance or constitute confirmation of our offer to make the Services available in any particular instance. If your reservation via the App is rejected after your request, you’ll receive the applicable refund assuming your payment method was charged in the first place. If pricing in the App turns out to be incorrect for any reason, we reserve the right to cancel or reject a corresponding reservation and will issue you the applicable refund.
RULES
• You must be able to operate our Products in a competent manner. You know how to use them and are physically able to do so. You understand that adverse weather conditions can impact safety and you are able to respond accordingly (like adjusting your braking distance in the rain, for example). This may also mean not using certain Products at all. Also note that we don’t provide routing directions or advice, so the route you choose is up to you.
• While we do our best to educate you on local laws governing how to use our products, please ensure that you have familiarized yourself with these laws as well, which you must follow when you use our Services. Don’t use our Services in prohibited areas, and make sure you understand the laws on sidewalk use, parking and alcohol/drug use during operation.
• Don’t tamper with, vandalize or try to gain unauthorized access to our Services.
• Safety First! – Perform all safely Checks, Always wear a Helmet and Abide by the Highway Code Observing all traffic signs and rules.
We recommend that you always wear a helmet any time you use any of our Bikes. It should be sized, fitted and fastened per manufacturer instructions. Helmets and other protective gear are no guarantee against personal injury. If you choose not to wear a helmet and are injured as a result, we are not responsible.
We do our best to keep each Product in good working condition, but you should still perform a safety check on the Product before you use it, including all of these:
• Did you check its general condition (wheels, tires, seat etc.)?
• Do its brakes and lights work?
• Are the seat, pedals and basket properly attached?
• Is the battery charged?
• Is there any other sign of damage, unusual or excessive wear or is maintenance needed?
Something could have happened to the Bike since its condition was last checked, and we need you to tell us if something isn’t working properly if you notice it before we do. If you notice any of these or other issues in a Bike before your use, don’t use it. Reserve another one instead. If you notice something during use, stop your trip as safely as you can and as soon as possible. If you don’t report these issues, we may have to attribute them to you, including holding you responsible for any associated costs, so please tell us if anything you see doesn’t look right.
• We have a limited number of Bikes and they may not always be available.
• Electric Products require periodic battery charging to operate. Their level of charge power will decrease with use over both time and distance. They lose their battery charge for various reasons, including due to weather, road conditions and other factors.
• It is your responsibility to be aware of the level of charge power in the Bike you are using. As part of our Services, we work diligently to ensure that our Bikes have adequate charge for your general use, but we don’t know where you intend to go and we can’t guarantee the electric Product you use has enough charge power to get you there.
• We want a safe experience for you and those around you in your community, and that means we have some rules. Aside from simply exercising caution and good judgment, you shouldn’t carry any items (like a briefcase or a bag) or use any device (like a cell phone or other portable device) if they impair or hinder safe use (no texting while using our Services, for example). There will not always be a designated place for you to ride, such as a Bike lane, so exercise caution when riding around cars and other traffic (we aren’t responsible for the actions of drivers, pedestrians, or other third parties). You may not use our Services while under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other substances. Don’t carry other people or animals while using our Services. Please don’t leave a Bike in a manner or location which we can’t access. We may charge you up to USD$1200 if we are not able to retrieve any Bike due to your actions.
• You are also not permitted to use our Services to participate in activities beyond the intended use. Some of these are obvious, but for example, no racing, mountain riding, stunts or trick-riding, and don’t take a Product off-road or through massive amounts of water (beyond normal urban riding, of course). All of these uses can damage our Products. You may not use our Services for hire, reward or for any other commercial use (like advertising, ride-sharing or food delivery). And of course, do not use our Services in connection with the violation of any law.
• While riding a Bike You must not use any cellular telephone, text messaging device, portable music player, or other device that may distract You from safely operating the Bike.
• You must not operate a Bike while under the influence of any alcohol, drugs, medication, or other substance that may impair Your ability to safely operate the Bike.
• You must not carry a second person on a Bike.
• You must not park or lock any Bike in any place like pay parking lot, inside residence or community other than legal public parking area.
• You must not dismantle, write on, or otherwise modify or deface a Bike or any part of a Bike in any way. You must not write on, peel, or otherwise modify or deface any sticker on a Bike in any way. You must not use a Bike for any advertising or similar commercial purpose.
• You must not operate a Bike in poor or dangerous weather conditions, including hail, ice or electrical storms, which could make it more dangerous to operate the Bike. You are advised to adjust Your riding behavior and braking distance to suit the weather conditions, and you must promptly act in a safe manner and return Your Bike to an available Public free Bike Parking spot when necessary and prudent to do so.
4 SINGLE RIDDING, MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTIONS, AND PROMOTIONAL CODES
4.1 BestoEPV provides various hiring types for customers; Single Ridding, and Membership Subscription Packages.
4.2 BestoEPV charges fees to its customers according to the current rate and price list. A list of concluded rental processes (including costs and time periods) may be viewed by the customer on the mobile App or on Our Website.
4.3 Please note that we may change pricing for our Services as we deem necessary or appropriate for our business. Our pricing is exclusive of taxes (like sales and value added) and other applicable governmental charges. All of these will be charged to your preferred payment method designated in your account based on your use. We will automatically charge and withhold the applicable taxes if required by law. All payments to us are made through a third-party payment processor in the form of payment accepted by them. If you disagree with any charges we have made to your account, you must let us know within 10 business days from the end of the month in which the disputed charge took place. To resolve any disputed charges, we will need certain trip information, including the date and approximate start and end times of your trip. As a policy, we do not offer refunds for your use of our Services, and any exceptions to this policy are in our sole discretion.
4.4 Promotional Codes.
At various times we provide promotional codes for discounted trips. Please understand that these are one-time offers, are only redeemable via the App and we may modify or cancel them at any time. We limit these to 1 per user and account, they can’t be combined with other offers, they will expire in accordance with their terms and are not transferable or permitted to be resold.
4.5 Membership subscription.
You may also use our Services by purchasing a period of membership. There are some additional rules about membership subscription:
• Your membership subscription will begin on the date your first payment is received, and our third-party payment processor will charge your preferred payment method within 30 days of authorization. Your membership subscription will continue for the period you selected at sign-up (or month-to-month if no period was specified for some reason).
• The applicable price is the price at the time you submit your order (we reserve the right to change prices over time, and we do not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price drop or promotional offering). We’ll automatically bill and charge you each month during the term of your membership subscription.
• We may offer a variety of membership plans, including free trials, discounted pricing for limited times or special third-party promotional plans that may have different or additional terms disclosed to you at or before sign-up. Some of these are offered by third parties, and we are not responsible for their products and services. With free trials, some credit card companies may place a temporary hold on your payment method for your first payment.
• We reserve the right to modify, terminate or otherwise amend any subscription membership plans.
• We may cancel your membership subscription for any or no reason on 30 days prior written notice to you. You may do the same, but if it’s in the middle of your subscription term, you will not receive a refund for partial months and it may mean you forfeit any membership fee. We may also cancel your membership subscription if you fail to pay amounts due, or if you are in material breach of these Terms.
• Our subscription memberships will automatically renew at the then-current prices for the same length of time as your original membership term. It will continue indefinitely unless you cancel it before the end of your then-current subscription term. Our pricing and applicable taxes and fees may change over time, so the pricing from one subscription term to the next may be different. We reserve the right to change membership subscription pricing at any time, but if we do, we’ll give you notice of such change first (this might be in-App or other electronic communication). If you don’t agree with the new pricing, you can cancel your subscription.
• You have 20 working days days from the day charges appear on your account statement to dispute them – after that, you are deemed to have accepted these charges.
4.6 OVERTIME FEES
All Customers/Members/Users are subject to the overtime fees, which may be charged and collected by BestoEPV. So long as a Customers/Members/Users lock the Bike and ends the current ridding within the period of the Package, no overtime fees will be charged. After that, a Customers/Members/Users is eligible to choose a hiring type to rent a Bike again.
At any time, You may access a statement of Your trip history and associated charges by logging into Your Account profile page on the Mobile App. If You dispute the charge for a trip and You wish BestoEPV to review the charge, then You must contact BestoEPV as soon as possible but no later than 20 working days after You receive Your statement containing the disputed charge. You must provide BestoEPV with all the trip information necessary to identify the disputed charge, such as the date of the trip and the approximate starting and ending times. Your trip receipt, if any, indicating the date and time Your Bike was returned is additional proof that the Bike was properly returned.
5. LOST OR DAMAGED BIKES; ADDITIONAL FEES
Treat Our Products Like They Were Your Own!
Our Products are unfortunately not indestructible, so please take good care of them when they are in your hands. They have weight limitations – 300 pounds for all Bikes (but 15 pounds for cargo in a Bike’s front basket). If you leave any personal belongings on or in our Products or on our premises, we’ll hold them for 60 days unless the law requires longer.
5.1 Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Bikes; Additional Fees.
The data generated by the Services' computer is conclusive evidence of the period of use of a Bike by a Member.
5.2 LOST BIKES
For any Bike that does not park in an authorized parking area within 24 hours of being rented, the Bike will be deemed “lost”, and your Security Deposit will be frozen and a lost Bike fee of up to USD1200+tax will be charged. In addition, BEstoEPV may file a police report with local authorities. If the Bike is found or returned to a Bike Parking spot after 24 hours, or BestoEPV verifies that You are not responsible for a loss, theft, or accident preventing its return, the lost Bike fee may be waived. You agree to report to BestoEPV as soon as possible the loss or theft of a Bike or Your involvement in any accident that will prevent the return of a Bike. You further agree to follow BestoEPV’s directions regarding filing a police report for any loss, theft, or accident and to cooperate with any investigation of such an event.
Product Pick-Up. If you are unable to return a Bike to an authorized parking area due to valid reasons (for example, you have to leave it on private property, in a locked community or an otherwise unreachable area), and you ask that we pick that Bike up, we may charge you a pick-up fee of up to USD$120. If you just abandon a Product in a place it shouldn’t be left, you’ll be responsible for the lost Bike fee and/or all associated fees until it’s recovered. We may change these amounts at our discretion and without notice.
5.3 DAMAGED BIKES
We expect that other than normal wear and tear, you’ll return (meaning locking up and/or deactivating) a Bike in the same condition in which you received it. If you damage it (accidentally or intentionally), or fail to properly return it and damage occurs, you’ll be responsible for the associated costs. You will be charged a fee that is equal to the cost of repair. Such fees may be charged as soon as 24 hours after the Bike has been returned in a damaged state.
