Declaration of Responsibility

Disclaimer and Rental Terms for SUP Equipment and Electric Bicycles

Please fill in the following form:

1. Acknowledgment and Acceptance of Risks

I explicitly acknowledge and accept the serious risks involved in renting and using stand-up paddle (SUP) equipment and electric bicycles, including—but not limited to—accidents, injuries, physical harm, or loss of life. I have been fully informed of these risks and take full responsibility for my personal safety while using the equipment.

2. Acceptance and Assumption of Responsibility

I accept full personal responsibility for any damage, equipment deterioration, injury, or loss of life that may occur during the use of the rented equipment, regardless of whether it is due to my own negligence or unforeseen circumstances.

3. Company Liability Waiver

By signing this declaration, I waive any and all liability or claims against ZENIA GATOS IKE, its partners, and any third party for any damage, accident, injury, or loss of life that may occur during the use of the equipment.

4. Obligation to Follow Instructions and Regulations

I commit to following all usage instructions provided by the company, as well as all applicable local regulations and traffic laws (in the case of using electric bicycles). Failure to follow these instructions places full responsibility for any consequences on me.

5. Alcohol and Substance Use Prohibition Clause

The consumption of alcohol or any other intoxicating substances is strictly prohibited during the use of rented equipment. Violation of this clause gives the company the right to immediately terminate the provision of equipment without any compensation to the renter and to claim compensation for any resulting damage or loss.

6. Sole Operator Clause

The equipment provided will be used solely and exclusively by the undersigned renter. The renter shall not allow, transfer, or permit any third party to operate or use the equipment in any way without prior written consent from the company. Violation of this clause grants the company the right to immediately terminate the agreement and seek related compensation.

7. Obligation to Use Protective Equipment

In all cases where the use of protective equipment (e.g. helmet, gloves) has been specified by the company or applicable safety guidelines, I commit to using it for the entire duration of equipment use.

8. Force Majeure and Extreme Conditions Clause

In cases of unforeseen events or extreme weather conditions (e.g. natural disasters, civil unrest, pandemics) beyond the company’s control, the company is not liable for delays, cancellations, or damages. The renter must immediately cease use of the equipment and inform the company.

9. Non-Transferability Clause

The equipment provided under this agreement remains the property of the company and may not be transferred, loaned, or assigned to any third party in any manner without the prior written consent of the company.

10. Proper Use and Maintenance Obligation

The equipment I receive will be used solely for the intended purposes. Modification, upgrading, or unauthorized use of the equipment is prohibited. Any deviation from these terms will result in full financial and legal responsibility for any damages incurred by the renter.

11. Obligation to Report Malfunctions or Issues

In case of any malfunction, failure, or abnormality during use, I commit to informing the company immediately. Any delay or failure to report may result in additional charges for the repair of damages.

12. Obligation to Return the Equipment

The equipment is provided in excellent working condition. I commit to returning it in the same condition, without damage or wear. If returned damaged or non-compliant, I will bear the corresponding cost of repair or replacement.

13. Compensation and Indemnity Clause

I agree to fully compensate the company for any claim, demand, court ruling, or damage that may arise from improper use of the equipment, including any potential legal fees.

14. Third Party Liability Clause

Any claims by third parties (e.g. injuries, damage to third-party property) arising from the use of the equipment are solely the responsibility of the renter, fully releasing the company from any liability.

15. Rental Duration and Extension Clause

The rental period is defined from the start date to the end date as agreed in writing at the time of equipment provision. Any extension must be agreed upon in writing before the original period ends and will incur additional charges according to availability and company policy.

16. Cancellation and Termination Clause

The agreement may be canceled or terminated early:

·       By the renter: With written notice to the company at least [e.g. 48 hours] before the scheduled start of use. Late cancellations may incur additional cancellation fees.

·       By the company: In the event of serious breach of the terms of use or if it is deemed that conditions are not safe for use. In any cancellation or early termination, the renter may bear financial consequences in accordance with this agreement.

17. Verification and Accuracy Clause

The renter declares that they have read, understood, and agreed to all of the above terms and obligations, and that all information provided is accurate and complete. In case of inaccuracy, the company reserves the right to cancel the agreement and claim compensation for any resulting damages.

18. Final and Entire Agreement Clause

This declaration constitutes the full agreement between the parties and replaces all previous verbal or written agreements regarding the rental. Any changes or additions must be made in writing and agreed upon by both parties.
