A Rental Agreement, Assumption of Risk, Waiver and Release document is a requirement to be signed at time of pickup. Here are our Terms & Conditions.

I, herein after referred to as (“the Customer”), agree to rent bicycles, helmets and other equipment as agreed (“the Equipment”) from CRIS & Elevation Outdoors dba Kelowna Bike Rentals, in accordance with the terms and conditions listed below. I confirm that I have read and accepted the terms of this Rental Agreement, and the attached Assumption of Risk, Waiver and Release.

The customer accepts use of the equipment, AS IS, clean and in good condition, and accepts full responsibility for care of the equipment while under his/her possession. Renters are encouraged to check their bike and equipment and raise any concerns before starting their ride. If the bike becomes dirty during a rental period, customers are requested not to clean the bike themselves to prevent damage

CONDITION OF BICYCLES AND EQUIPMENT

I agree to operate the Equipment in a safe and prudent fashion. I have inspected the Equipment and confirm that it has been provided to me in a clean, safe and usable condition, and I agree that I will return it to Kelowna Bike Rentals in the same condition it was provided to me, subject to reasonable wear and tear. Reasonable wear and tear does not include broken spokes, rims, bent rims, damaged frames, handlebars, seats or other parts from misuse and/or crashes.

 I agree to have my credit card stored on file and once my returned equipment is inspected and should there be no damage, no charge will be placed on my card. If I damage the Equipment, I agree to pay Kelowna Bike Rentals’ costs to repair or replace the Equipment, which will be done at Kelowna Bike Rentals’ discretion, and I agree to pay Kelowna Bike Rentals’ costs to replace parts, and to pay their current rates for repair, which are available to me at my request.

LATE RETURNS

Late returns are subject to rental rates for the additional time above the period agreed upon at the time of rental, in half day increments.

LOST OR STOLEN BICYCLES OR EQUIPMENT

Kelowna Bike Rentals will provide one chain-style bike lock for each rental bicycle. This lock is not intended to keep out determined and professional thieves and is meant to provide minimum security during daylight hours in low crime areas. The Customer is responsible for using care in choosing a safe place to secure the bike when not in use during the rental period.  Bicycles or equipment which are lost or stolen while under a rental agreement will be replaced at Kelowna Bike Rentals’ discretion at regular retail prices. The Customer will be notified of the replacement costs within 24 hours of the report of the theft and provided a cost estimate before charging replacement costs to their credit card.
