The Arbitration Process

The decision or award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon ALL the parties. The arbitrator shall have the power to award any type of legal or equitable relief available in a court of competent jurisdiction including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees, to the extent such damages are available under applicable law and under this agreement. Because any arbitral award may be entered as a judgment or order in any court of competent jurisdiction, any relief or recovery to which you may be entitled upon any claim shall be limited to that awarded by the arbitrator.

Any claim for arbitration will be timely only if brought within the time in which an administrative charge or complaint would have been filed if the claim is one which could be filed with an administrative agency. If the arbitration claim raises an issue which could not have been filed with an administrative agency, then the claim must be timely filed within the time set forth by the appropriate and applicable statute of limitation where the action arose.

The arbitration shall be arbitrated by a single arbitrator in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) except all arbitrators or members of the appeal panel (which is discussed below) must be members of the bar in good standing in the state in which the dispute arose.

You may contact the AAA to request a copy of these at 140 West 51st Street, New York, New York 10020-1203, telephone no. 1800-778-7879, faxno. (212) 307-4387 or obtain them from AAA’s website (www.adr.org).

Appeals of an Arbitrator’s Decision/Award

A party may file for an appeal of a decision of an arbitrator to a panel of three arbitrators (the “panel”) within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the arbitrator’s decision. The appeal panel shall be selected in accordance with the Rules of the AAA. If the AAA does not have rules for selection of a panel, then the parties shall come to a mutual agreement on the selection procedure for the panel, and if no such agreement on the procedure is reached then the AAA shall dictate the procedure. The panel to which the appeal is brought shall review the arbitrator’s decision as if it is a court of appellate jurisdiction reviewing a lower court’s decision. To this end, either party, at its own expense, may have the arbitration transcribed. If the arbitration is not transcribed, the panel still may evaluate the arbitrator’s decision based on the decision itself as well as any other evidence it deems appropriate to consider. No bond shall be required in the case of an appeal. The panel shall set an appropriate schedule for the briefing of the appeal and oral argument if necessary. A judgment which is not timely appealed may be filed and entered in any court having jurisdiction as a final order. An interlocutory appeal of an arbitrator’s decision may be brought before a panel where an arbitrator has breached the explicit rules of this Program and/or Agreement or a party seeks to recuse or remove an arbitrator for legally sufficient grounds.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE, THE FOLLOWING CLAIMS WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE ARBITRATION PROVISON ABOVE:

1) ANY ACTIONS FOR NON-PAYMENT,

2) ACTIONS FOR COLLECTIONS,

3) REPOSSESSION,

4) WRITS OF REPLEVIN,

5) INJUNCTIONS or EQUITABLE ACTIONS,

6) BONDS AND LIENS,

7) INSURANCE CLAIMS OR LOSES,

8) THEFT, CIVIL THEFT AND VANDALISM.

In general, the place of delivery of the vehicle is where the vehicle is currently located unless you require any special accommodations.  The delivery of the vehicle is for the vehicle selected by you. However, once you have selected the pick-up location you must deliver the vehicle to the same location or a relocation charge will apply. The act of delivery of a vehicle to a location other than the original pick-up location is an authorization by you to the company to charge the relocation charge. Such charge will vary according to several factors including location, costs, and availability.

If you are picking up a vehicle at one of our service locations, then you will drop-off your current vehicle, if any, at that time and location. At the time when you return a vehicle to us, the vehicle should be in good working condition and ready for use by another driver. We may assist you in swapping your belongings between vehicles and getting you set up in the new vehicle. In all circumstances, you agree not to hold us or any of our employees liable for the loss of or damage to any personal property, whether it is yours or belongs to another person, incurred in the process of swapping your belongings between vehicles.

You must remove all personal items from the vehicle, including accessories, bags, luggage, equipment, etc. As stated above, you are not guaranteed to have use of a particular vehicle at some later date. Although we will make reasonable efforts to return lost or forgotten property to you, we shall not be held liable for any property left in a vehicle or stolen from a vehicle during your use. You agree not to hold us or any of our employees responsible for any such personal property, whether it is yours or belongs to another person. Any non-perishable items found by us in a vehicle will be held by us for a period of not less than ten (10) days. Property not claimed within this period may be donated to charity or disposed of at our sole discretion.

If you fail to comply with these good driver rules, we may suspend, or may even terminate, your Rental in our sole discretion.

Who can drive our vehicles?

ONLY THE LICENSED PERSON APPROVED IN THE APPLICATION AND RENTAL AGREEMENT WITH SUBSIDIARIES OR THIRD-PARTY AFFILIATES, OR ANY SUCCESSOR PARTY, CAN OPERATE THE MOTOR VEHICLE.

Keeping the vehicle clean

We expect you to use common-sense standards of cleanliness. You are responsible for returning the vehicle to us in good working order and ready for use by another driver without the need to invest undue effort in cleaning and detailing. In the event that the vehicle does become unexpectedly dirty, we ask that you let us know. If vehicle is not delivered in the same condition that it was when pick up, additional fees up to $250 may be charged:

Regular cleaning fee up to $100

If full detail is required fee up to $250

In addition, all drivers of our vehicles and their guests are expected to abide by the following rules that are intended to keep the vehicle in good condition:

No smoking inside or near the vehicle – no exceptions! In case of smoke odor, you will be charged an additional $250 fee to perform the full detail.

Pets may only be transported in a pet carrier. Pets are only permitted if they are transported in locked pet carriers, except in the case of registered service animal when 1) the dog or service animal is required because of a disability and 2) we are informed in writing what work or task the dog or service animal has been trained to perform. Once your service animal has been approved, they will be allowed in our vehicles without being in locked pet carriers in accordance with our policies. You are nevertheless possibly subject to additional fees and charges of $250 if we find evidence of pet’s damage to our vehicles during your use.

Maintenance and repairs

We will perform all necessary and required scheduled maintenance on all of our vehicles. In the unusual case that maintenance needs to be performed during the Rental period, we will notify you when the vehicle requires scheduled maintenance, and you will coordinate a time with us when this scheduled maintenance can be completed. In general, we will give you 2 days’ notice prior to any scheduled maintenance, and you should be available for a vehicle exchange within 7 days of your receipt of this notice. Any repair caused by an action from the Renter is the Renter’s responsibility. Some examples of non-scheduled maintenance that is the Renter’s responsibility are (but not limited to):  Accidents, Theft, Punctured Tires, missing spare tires, wheel locks, jacks and tools, Broken Mirrors, Exploded Air bags, Scratches and Dents, cracks or chips in the windshield, Damage, burn, tear or stain of upholstery rugs or interior, Spilled coffee resulting on a stain, any other damage that is not regular wear and tear.

You must notify us immediately upon discovering any abnormality or damage during your operation of our vehicles. For example, you should immediately report any warning lights that stay on after ignition or that indicate that service or maintenance is required, any evidence of leaking fluids near the vehicle, any tire damage or excess wear on the tires, any cracked, broken or missing mirrors, any cracks or chips in the windshield, any other damage to the exterior of the vehicle, any inoperable signals, any unusual noises when the vehicle is operated, and any other condition that may render the vehicle unsafe or illegal to operate.

It is important that you respond appropriately and promptly to all warning lights, chimes, indicators and alerts. Unusual noises or handling, including without limitation strange engine or other mechanical sounds, performance changes, warning or indicator lights or indicators, must be reported to us as soon as noted by phone at 833.305.3500. Failure to report such problems may result in the immediate suspension or termination of your Rental as well as you being responsible for any damages resulting from continued unsafe use of the vehicle despite such irregularities.

In general, our aim is to take care of all scheduled maintenance and service for our vehicles so that you do not ever need to worry about such matters. However, we understand that circumstances may arise where you might want or may need to pay for scheduled maintenance work or have repairs made in order to help keep the vehicle roadworthy in an expeditious manner. In these unusual circumstances, we will reimburse you for reasonable “Covered Expenses” that you incur. “Covered Expenses” are defined as any expense for necessary scheduled maintenance or repairs with a cost not exceeding $200. Covered Expenses and towing must be approved in writing (including via SMS, instant messaging or email) by a company manager prior to being performed. You are not authorized to make any body, damage, or cosmetic repair to the vehicle. You must ALWAYS request a written estimate before making any repair and send a copy of the estimate to Company for approval. You are not authorized to make any repair to the motor vehicle in excess of $200.00, incur storage costs or any other expense and you will be responsible for such excess, storage, or such expense if incurred and company shall be immediately reimbursed for the payment of such unauthorized expenditure. All repair estimate will include Company name, address and e-mail of Company as owner of vehicle and the following information, (a) The name, address, and telephone number of the motor vehicle repair shop, (b) The name, address, and telephone number of the customer, (c) The date and time of the written repair estimate, (d) The year, make, model, odometer reading, and license tag number of the motor vehicle, (e) The proposed work completion date, (f) A general description of the customer’s problem or request for repair work or service relating to the motor vehicle, (g) A statement as to whether the customer is being charged according to a flat rate or an hourly rate, or both.

If a repair will cost more than $200, you must contact our headquarters so that a supervisor can determine the appropriate course of action to take. Our representatives are not authorized to approve repairs in excess of $200 without the approval of a supervisor. If you pay for a Covered Expense, you must keep the actual receipt reflecting the item or service purchased and the date and time of purchase (which must be during your Rental period) and note on it the odometer reading at the time of the purchase. Please print your name on the receipt and send us the receipt within thirty (30) days of purchase and we will credit such amount to the credit/debit card you have on file for the applicable Rental. No credit or refund will be given without a receipt, or if the receipt is submitted more than thirty (30) days more after it is incurred.

Vehicles may require emergency roadside assistance from time to time. We provide access to a third-party emergency roadside assistance and support as part of our service. If, however, your need for emergency roadside assistance results from a breach of the Rental Agreement or a violation of our Rules of Use, you may be charged for the costs of the service

To the Extent Permissible by Applicable Law, we will track your usage of our vehicles to ensure proper use. We want to offer our Renters vehicles that are in great condition. In order to do that, we intend to keep track of how those vehicles have been used and maintained by our Renters. This tracking of usage allows us to be certain that our vehicles have been well maintained and have been used properly. It also helps us to anticipate maintenance needs for our vehicles before urgent action is required and allows us to monitor for drivers who are treating our vehicles in a way that is reckless, negligent or is likely to cause abnormally high wear and tear.

Each of our vehicles is equipped with technology that allows us to track its location and that informs us when certain driving events occur. For example, the technology informs us when a vehicle accelerates unusually fast, brakes unusually hard or takes a corner at an unusually high speed.

BY DRIVING OUR VEHICLES AND USING OUR SERVICES, YOU CONSENT TO TRACKING DESCRIBED IN THESE RULES.

We expect you to drive responsibly and look after the vehicles in your possession as a diligent prudent and reasonable owner might. In the interests of all of our Renters, we reserve the right to suspend or cancel service for Renters who persistently treat our vehicles in a manner that is not consistent with those expectations. If we identify Renters who repeatedly drive our vehicles in unusual ways that we deem potentially reckless or negligent, who experience damage incidents at an unusually high rate, who fail to report any instances of damage that might reasonably be detected, or who act in a manner that is inconsistent with these Rules of Use, we reserve the right to withdraw service immediately or to give the Renter an advisory warning.

To be clear, we are not looking to penalize you for unfortunate mishaps. We understand that everyone gets a dent from time to time, that everyone spills a drink from time to time, and that everyone needs to hit the brakes hard on occasion, but we want to keep our cars safe and our costs reasonable for the benefit of all of our Renters.

The Renter is responsible for the purchase of fuel and payment of road tolls, traffic tickets or parking fines incurred while a vehicle is in Renter’s possession. As a convenience, the cost to refuel a vehicle after a flip (without mark-up) will be charged to your account. Similarly, if your vehicle is equipped with an electronic toll card, any fees incurred during your possession of the vehicle will be charged to your account.

Tolls. You are responsible for paying Company the applicable charge directly for any and all tolls, including, but not limited to, any fines for toll evasion, and other related fines, fees, penalties, and applicable taxes (collectively, “Tolls”) assessed against you, AmeriDrive Holdings, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries or third-party affiliates, or any successor party or Company in connection with this rental. You will report any Tolls incurred in connection with this rental to Company, as soon as possible after you become aware of such Toll, but, at minimum, within twenty-four (24) hours of you becoming aware of such charge. You should not rely on use of a toll transponder in the Vehicle (if any) in connection with your payment for Tolls. In order to avoid a Processing Fee (as defined in Section 10.4 below) in connection with a Toll, you must pay the Toll in cash at the applicable tolling station (where permitted) or you must make arrangements to pre-pay any applicable Tolls, such as by contacting the toll operator and pre-paying online, by phone, or by mail (where permitted) or by purchasing and using a Toll transponder. If you are provided a toll transponder from AmeriDrive Holdings, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries or third-party affiliates, or any successor party and use it to pass through any tolling station, you will be responsible for the applicable Processing Fee (as defined below) as well as any fees associated with the use or possession of the toll transponder. Some Tolls cannot be paid in cash, credit card, or debit card at the time you pass through the tolling station. For example, all toll roads, bridges, and tunnels in the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) system are all-electronic and, in order to avoid a Processing Fee, you must purchase and use a Toll Tag in order to drive on/through a NTTA toll road, bridge, or tunnel. Other toll systems in Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and other states have similar electronic systems that may require you to purchase a transponder, toll tag, EZ Pass, or similar device to avoid a processing fee. If payment is made by Company, for any reason, you will be charged the payment and a processing fee.
