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, 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 CRIS 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 a $500 damage deposit placed on my credit card and once my returned equipment is inspected and should there be no damage, my deposit will be returned to my credit card as a credit within 2-4 business days. If I damage the Equipment, I agree to pay CRIS’ costs to repair or replace the Equipment, which will be done at CRIS’ discretion, and I agree to pay CRIS’ costs to replace parts, and to pay their current rates for repair, which are available to me at my request.

I have the option of purchasing optional insurance, valued at $100, that would cover any and all expenses related to any damage, over and above the $500 damage deposit.  

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

CRIS 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 CRIS’ 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.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK

I also understand I/my child or person in my care should be in good physical health to participate in bicycling, and I confirm that I/my child have no significant health issues that prevent me/my child or person in my care from participating in bicycling, nor have I/my child or person in my care been diagnosed with a condition that prevents me from bicycling.
