Riders Share, working with trusted third parties (including Stripe and insurance providers) shall act as agent for Users with regards to processing Owner payments and assisting in the insurance process.
Riders Share, a Delaware corporation with principal place of business in Texas, is not a party to contracts between account holders. Our responsibility is to maintain the Services and platform, and to provide administrative support as required to render these Services, and to ensure the quality of User experience. For provision of this platform, administrative services, and access to user accounts, Riders Share charges transactional fees for the transactions between users before rental fees are distributed to Owners. The fee structure and payment terms are set forth in the Payment & Administrative Terms incorporated herein by reference.
Fees for additional Services shall be charged as necessary on terms communicated to account holders in writing via the account dashboard or email at least five (5) business days prior to such transactions, unless the account holder expressly agrees to a shorter notice period for a specific transaction.

The Community Guidelines, as they exist on the date of your acceptance of these Terms of Service, are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service and are available at [URL]. Riders Share reserves the right to modify the Community Guidelines upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Users via email or account dashboard notification. Please be sure to review Community Guidelines as they provide additional information necessary to continually improve these Services.
Reservation and Rental Procedure
Once a Renter and Owner have agreed to the rental terms, the Parties shall execute a Reservation Agreement that reflects the terms of the agreement between them and acknowledges Riders Share’s supporting role in the Transaction.
Prior to completing a reservation, Renter must review the insurance and damage waiver options available through the Services and make an affirmative selection of coverage, including the option to decline all coverage offered through the Services if Renter elects to rely solely on their own insurance. Renter agrees and understands that they assume all inherent risks and responsibilities in selecting the appropriate coverage and for ensuring they have the requisite skill required for safe operation of the motorcycle. Renter acknowledges that Riders Share makes no recommendation regarding which coverage option is appropriate for any particular rental. Renters attest they have at least 2 months of riding experience in order to use Riders Share. Renters under the age of 25 attest that they have at least 3 years of experience.
Renter shall affirm that they have taken responsibility, financially and otherwise, for ensuring that any Passenger complies with all laws and these Terms during the Rental or Trip Period. Owner shall ensure that the Passenger Release has been signed by each Passenger prior to the commencement of the Rental Period.
Once the Reservation Agreement has been completed Owner will send the address for the pick-up and drop-off of the rental via your account dashboard.
Renters must arrive at the pick-up location on time with a copy of their valid motorcycle license (no temporary permits, learner's permits, or expired licenses accepted), and in a manner that satisfies the terms of your reservation (i.e., with designated passengers, required safety gear if not being provided by Owner, etc.). The Rental period does not commence until you have presented your valid license and satisfied Owner as to the terms of your Reservation Agreement.
Owners must inspect the vehicle and perform any required maintenance prior to each rental (i.e., ensuring fuel, fluid, chain, and tire air-pressure levels are acceptable and meet manufacturer specifications). When delivery has been selected as an option in the Reservation Agreement, Owner must deliver the motorcycle and all rented gear to the address/drop-off point specified in the Reservation Agreement at the time agreed upon.
Pick Up Procedures
Unless Renter and Owner have selected a delivery option, Renter shall meet Owner at the designated pick-up point. All pick-up terms shall apply regardless of whether the motorcycle has been delivered to Renter or Renter travels to the pick-up point.
At the time of pick-up, Renter shall receive specific instructions from Owner regarding the operation of Owner's motorcycle. Owner shall confirm all terms of the Reservation Agreement, including the identity of the Renter and previously designated passengers. Renter shall present a valid motorcycle license. Owner shall take a picture of the license next to the vehicle’s odometer. If Renter fails to produce a valid license, or otherwise demonstrates an inability to meet the terms of the Reservation Agreement, Owner is under no obligation to commence the rental period. Passengers must sign Passenger Release.
Prior to the commencement of the rental period, Renter shall photograph and document any existing defects or damage to the vehicle using the Riders Share app or another method agreed upon with Owner shall not be obligated to commence the rental period unless Owner is reasonably assured that: (1) the Rental shall conform to these Terms and the Reservation Agreement, and (2) Renter does not appear likely to engage in the prohibited activities discussed in the following section.
Owner will then upload a photo of Renter's license to the Riders Share app, which will be automatically time-stamped. Both Renter and Owner must sign the check-in form, marking the commencement of the rental period. This generally summarizes the pick-up procedure. Please consult the Renter Guidelines and Owner Guidelines incorporated herein by reference for further detail.
Prohibited Activities
Renter agrees and understands that neither Renter nor any designated passenger under Renter's control shall engage in the following activities during the reservation period. If Renter seems likely to engage in these activities, prior to the commencement of the rental period, this may result in cancellation of the reservation, the early termination of rental, or non-performance of the rental. IF any of the following activity occurs during the rental period, it shall negate any Insurance coverage. Renter's account shall be terminated or suspended, and any monies paid through these Services shall be forfeit.
Renter is prohibited from making use of a motorcycle in the following manner:
· without a valid appropriate license in good standing, presented and documented at time of drop-off
· with a suspended license, or without full disclosure of driving record or infractions
· without demonstrable requisite skill at time of drop-off
· while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medications, or any type of impairment that might prevent safe operation
· authorizing persons not specifically disclosed on the Reservation to operate or ride as a passenger
· without legally required safety equipment in acceptable condition whether or not provided by Owner
· operating motorcycle without proper maintenance (i.e., replenishing fuel, fluids, maintaining tire pressure)
· alteration of a motorcycle in any way
· off-road operation, racetrack, or operation on anything other than finished, paved roads unless specifically authorized by Owner with a vehicle designed for such use. Renter must complete an Off-Road Waiver which shall be provided at the time the parties shall enter into the Reservation Agreement. Please review the terms of the Off-Road Waiver as they include additional insurance options which may be found here.
· in a reckless manner i.e., Stunt driving, wheelies, burn-outs etc.
· in manner not intended by the motorcycle manufacturer
· failing to heed Owners specific instructions to the motorcycle being rented
· to tow an object, or in excess of manufacturers load limits.
· for commercial uses unless specifically approved by us or the Owner
· while Renter is distracted, for example, smoking, eating, texting, operating a cellphone or other device while driving
· to enter a race or competition unless specifically disclosed and allowed according to reservation terms
· in the commission of any criminal or reckless act
· without reporting an accident, or malfunction as soon as possible to Owner or Riders Share.
We may decline, cancel, or terminate early any rental at our sole discretion if it seems likely any of these prohibited activities seem likely.
Owner may cancel any reservation at the time of drop-off, if Renter is unable to provide valid motorcycle license, does not possess required safety gear, is visibly impaired, or demonstrates a lack of basic skill in the operation of a clutch, or manual transmission, or any skills fundamental to safe motorcycle operation. Owner is under no duty to perform any extensive assessment of skill and preparedness to begin the rental period, but may in their discretion cancel the Reservation Agreement if Renter is unable to provide a valid license or presents an appreciable threat to engage in these prohibited activities.
Riders Share shall defer to the judgement of owner, and may accept proof, documentation or narrative description of either party in the event an informal dispute resolution process.
Rental Period Responsibilities
Renter, during the trip or rental period assumes all responsibility for checking fluid, fuel and air pressure levels, based on the length of the trip, as may be communicated to you in Reservation Agreement or the vehicle listing from which the reservation is created, or as may be verbally communicated to you by Owner. In the event of mechanical failure, Renter shall promptly report issues to the Owner or us (support@riders-share.com). Upon return of the motorcycle, Renter may be held responsible for any damages beyond normal wear and tear deemed to be the result of negligent operation or failure to provide routine maintenance.
At all times during the rental period, Renter shall retain a copy of the Reservation Agreement, and the Insurance card they may have been provided through the Riders Share dashboard.
Renter's Primary Responsibility
Renters are responsible for their own acts and omissions, as well as the acts and omissions of any individuals whom Renter invites to, or otherwise provides access to the motorcycle. Renter's use of these Services, and any resulting Rental Agreement, is conditioned on Renter's acceptance of Primary Responsibility as defined herein.
Renters agree and understand that any passenger to whom Renter provides access to a vehicle rented via these Services must sign the Passenger Release (as defined in the applicable Reservation Agreement), and Renter further agrees that their responsibility for such passenger shall also be primary.
Renter is responsible for any and all damages incurred during the rental period and return of the vehicle according to Renter's Reservation Agreement at the time specified therein, in the condition in which it was rented.
YOU AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AS A RENTER YOUR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IS PRIMARY WITH REGARDS TO DAMAGES, INJURIES, OR LOSSES INCURRED DURING YOUR RENTAL.
Any insurance you provide shall be primary over any Riders Share protection plan or insurance coverage.
Renter agrees that Riders Share has no responsibility for any damages that Renter may cause, except to the extent Riders Share is found to be directly at fault under applicable law, provided that this limitation shall not apply to damages caused by Riders Share's gross negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of its express obligations under this Agreement.
In the Event of an Accident
Renter shall do the following in the event of an accident during the rental period:
· Notify authorities and seek medical attention immediately.
· Inform the Owner as soon as possible, and allow Owner to retrieve and take possession of the motorcycle to prevent further damage or expense that Renter may otherwise be held responsible for, provided that Renter shall not be responsible for any additional damage or expense incurred after Owner takes possession.
· Obtain names, addresses, phone numbers (work, home) and license numbers of all persons involved, including passengers and witnesses.
· Obtain license plate number and state of equipment involved in the accident
· To the extent possible, take photos of accident and document any damages to Passengers, or third party or other property damage
· For smaller incidents, do not attempt to repair damage or replace parts without the Owner's consent
· File a claim on the Riders Share website
There are no refunds for trip days remaining in the reservation following an accident.
Drop-off
When returning a motorcycle, Renter shall ensure return at the time designated in the Reservation Agreement. Renter shall ensure that fuel levels are the same as when the Rental period commenced. Renter shall notify Owner of any damages incurred during the Rental period. If the issues are the result of normal wear and tear, providing such information will be helpful to Owner and allow for safe and enjoyable use of the Riders Share service for the Riders Share community. If Owner does not believe that the reported damage is the result of normal wear and tear, Owner must notify Riders Share within seven (7) days of the end of the rental period, providing supporting evidence including photographs and a detailed description of the damage.
If fuel levels are not the same as when the rental commenced, the owner may charge refueling costs.
The following sections discuss damages that may be incurred during a reservation, any post-rental period settlement of Renter's payment method which shall remain pending until the Reservation Agreement has been satisfied and performed as agreed according to these terms, as reasonably determined by Riders Share.
Concluding the Reservation Agreement
Amounts agreed upon in advance through the reservation or for fees incidental to the rental (i.e., parking tickets, late fees, trip extensions, replacement of fuel) Riders Share may, subject to Delaware law and other applicable laws, use the informal dispute resolution authority granted by virtue of its role as payment agent (as further detailed in the Payment and Administrative terms). Riders Share may offer an expedited reimbursement tool through the User dashboard for amounts under $1,000.00 which may be billed to Renter’s payment method upon notification of deficiency, which Riders Share, in its reasonable discretion and based on supporting documentation, may use to authorize further payments due under the rental, provided that Renter shall have at least forty-eight (48) hours to dispute such charges before they are processed. All reimbursements are subject to a five percent (5%) processing fee charged by Riders Share, which fee shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted under Delaware law.
Any balance remaining will be charged to and taken from the payment method Renter has authorized. If your authorized payment method has insufficient funds, Riders Share may take remedial actions to collect payment from you and pursue any avenues available to Riders Share to obtain payment to cover damages for which you bear responsibility.
Renters agree, through insurance coverage or their authorized payment method, to pay the cost of repairing or replacing damaged items with equivalent items, or providing restitution for injuries or loss of property suffered by any persons as a result of any act or omission by Renter or a passenger in Renter's vehicle.
Riders Share shall have reasonable discretion in determining if damages resulted from Renter's acts or omissions, based on available evidence including but not limited to inspection reports, photographs, police reports, and statements from the parties. You agree that we may forward payment requests on behalf of Owner and charge your authorized payment method should any insurance you carry be deemed insufficient, and Riders Share has a reasonable belief based on available evidence that you are responsible for the reported damages. Riders Share will provide you with notice and an opportunity to dispute such charges before processing payment, except in cases of suspected fraud or where immediate action is necessary to prevent further loss. If a vehicle has been damaged during the rental period, and the damage occurred as a result of vandalism or there is a reasonable suspicion of vandalism, a police report should be filed by the owner of the damaged vehicle before an insurance claim can be processed. Riders Share may waive this requirement in its reasonable discretion where circumstances make filing impractical or where other evidence sufficiently establishes the cause of damage.
Both Renter and Owner agree to cooperate with and assist Riders Share in good faith, and to provide Riders Share with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Riders Share, in connection with any complaints or claims made by Users relating to motorcycles or any personal or other property attached to the motorcycle or subject to the reservation between the Users. Subject to the Payment and Administrative Policy incorporated herein and Delaware law, you promise and agree to participate in the manner of dispute resolution Riders Share may determine is necessary for resolution of the matter, with Delaware serving as the exclusive venue for any legal proceedings.
In the event Riders Share may determine it to be necessary, we may elect to act on behalf of the Owner as their designated payment agent, subject to terms incorporated herein. Upon determination that you are responsible for damages by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, or upon Riders Share's reasonable determination based on available evidence that you are responsible for damages, you may be required to pay any and all reasonable expenses related to the recovery of damages, fees, and penalties resulting from dispute resolution or arbitration, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the applicable arbitration rules. Your timely and cooperative response to any claims of damage, insurance claims, dispute resolution by Riders Share or a duly appointed third party is expected as a condition of your acceptance of primary financial responsibility.
Terms of Payment
Transactions will not be considered closed until thirty (30) days after the end of the rental and drop-off, except that any financial liabilities incurred during the rental period may be charged to Renter's designated payment method subject to the notice and dispute provisions set forth herein. Renters will be notified of any charges beyond the original rental amount prior to such charges being processed where commercially reasonable, or promptly after such charges are processed. For purposes of this provision, 'promptly' means within five (5) business days, except that notification may be provided within ten (10) business days in cases involving complex damage assessments, third-party billing delays, or pending investigations. During this time the payment method used by our payment processor will remain open to cover the costs of incidentals, unless and until the parties have mutually agreed to conclude the reservation, and Owner has inspected the vehicle, no insurance and/or damage claim is open, and we are satisfied the transaction has been successfully completed.
Owner will be paid amounts due, to the payout information provided at the time of account creation. Payment will arrive within 7 business days of the end of the transaction. Payments may be held if Riders Share has not received notification that the reservation has concluded successfully by both parties. We reserve the right to hold funds due and payable for a reasonable period not to exceed 90 days if proper procedures are not followed, with notice to the affected party. We may take remedial actions on any account, including temporarily withholding funds, or suspending or terminating accounts if procedures set forth in these Terms are not followed, provided that any such withholding of funds will be released or applied within a reasonable time and in accordance with applicable law.
Collections
In addition to the amount due, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, delinquent accounts and/or chargebacks will be charged with reasonable fees and/or charges that are incidental to the collection of delinquent accounts and/or chargebacks including, but not limited to collection fees, convenience fees, and/or other third party charges. Members hereby explicitly agree that all communication in relation to delinquent accounts will be made by electronic mail or by phone, as provided to Riders Share by members. Such communication may be made by Riders Share, or by anyone on its behalf, including but not limited to a third-party collection agent.
You will be responsible for reasonable reimbursement of the fee of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 35% of the debt, subject to applicable law, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable collection and attorney’s fees incurred during collection efforts.
In order for Riders Share, or its designated external collection agency to service your account, and where not prohibited by applicable law, you agree that, subject to the requirements of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), Delaware debt collection laws, and other applicable laws, Riders Share and the designated external collection agency are authorized to (i) contact you by sending text messages (message and data rates may apply) or emails, using any email address you provide and (iii) methods of contact may include using pre-recorded/artificial voice message and/or use of an automatic dialing device, as applicable.
Insurance
Renters are required to provide proof of an auto liability insurance policy if they have a pre-existing policy, and they agree and understand that such policy shall be primary over any protection plan offered by Riders Share. For further information please review the Riders Share Insurance Terms.
When you book a rental, you agree that if any damage occurs during the rental period, you will work with the Owner or Riders-Share to make a claim for coverage under any policy of insurance that applies to the loss.
Renters can limit the amount they are obligated to pay out of their own pocket in the event there is damage to the motorcycle during the rental by choosing the appropriate protection plan when this option is made available. The limitation on the amount a primary Renter may have to pay out of pocket, included in any protection plan, requires that you abide by these Terms at all times during the rental period.
For motorcycles registered or located in New York, we require owners to maintain commercial insurance that provides certain coverage to Renters for rentals transacted through the Service.
In the event that a rental results in a claim covered by the owner’s insurance, we will make reasonable efforts to assist you in submitting a claim. We do not guarantee the results of any claim submitted for coverage under the owner’s insurance. In addition, you agree that all insurance-related communications will be conducted electronically. Please read the electronic business consent, which provides further details regarding your agreement to receive all insurance-related communications electronically.
Protection Plans
Protection Plans are offered by Riders-Share for rentals from our third-party partners.
Riders Share is not a broker, agent or insurer.
Protection plans are excess offerings, which means that the personal insurance of the Renter is the primary insurance for coverage. The primary insurer shall be initially responsible for defending and indemnifying Renters in the event of a claim. Riders Share’s excess offerings provide coverage above a Renter’s underlying limit of primary insurance. The personal insurance of the Renter or authorized Passenger is the primary insurance for the rented Vehicle. It is understood and agreed that compliance with these Terms of Service, including but not limited to prohibited activities, is required in order for the Protection Plan to be applicable. Protection plans are available through the Services in jurisdictions where such plans (or type of plan) are permitted.
With its protection plans, Riders-Share may provide coverage for vehicles that have been approved by Riders-Share for excess coverage. Liability, physical damage, comprehensive and collision excess coverage is available only for Renters or Owners during the rental period for rentals through the Riders Share.
In order for excess coverage through the Protection Plan to be applicable, the entirety of the rental transaction must occur through the Riders Share Services.

We encourage Users to inform us of violations of this Acceptable Use Policy. At our discretion we shall review such reports. We shall not incur an obligation to take action unless we independently determine a violation of any Riders Share terms and policies has occurred, or as otherwise required by law.
Riders Share reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice except as required by applicable law, to suspend, terminate or disable access to any User Account, or related Content that Riders Share, at its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for or appears to be a violation or imminent violation of these Terms or is otherwise harmful to the Services.

International Rentals
Riders Share may partner with various international rental agencies to facilitate rentals in non-US jurisdictions. Such partnership, and the terms of rental, including all applicable fees, insurance requirements, cancellation policies, and local regulations, shall be clearly disclosed in the related listing. All listings must be in English with any local language terms clearly translated. For international rentals the following terms may be found in this Community Guidelines.
Other Users; No Endorsement
While we may take actions to verify User identities and descriptions and information regarding vehicles available via the Service to the extent we deem appropriate, Riders Share does not endorse any Users, any user content, or listings, and makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy or completeness of any verification performed. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Users. We rely on our community to improve and maintain the community by providing feedback subsequent to a rental or to report any inaccuracies or violations of our Terms. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Users. Riders Share shall have no liability for your interactions with other Users, or for any Users’ action or inaction, with respect to rentals or the Service. You acknowledge that Riders Share does not offer transportation services or motorcycle rental services. Instead, the Service is a platform that allows Renters and Owners to transact rentals directly with each other, and Riders Share acts solely as an intermediary facilitating such transactions.
By using the Service, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Users or other third parties will be limited to the User or third party that causes you harm, and you agree not to attempt to impose liability on or seek any legal remedy from Riders Share with respect to such actions or omissions. If you have a dispute with one or more Users, you release us (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint venturers, and employees) from claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes or your use of the Service. If you are a California resident, to the extent permitted by law, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." You expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under Section 1542 and any law of any jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to any claims you may have against Riders Share, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
PLEASE NOTE THAT, AS STATED ABOVE, THE SERVICE IS INTENDED TO BE USED TO FACILITATE RENTALS. RIDERS SHARE CANNOT AND DOES NOT CONTROL THE USER CONTENT CONTAINED IN ANY RENTAL, THE CONDITIONS OF ANY MOTORCYCLES PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICE, THE BEHAVIOR OF ANY USER, OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY USER. RIDERS SHARE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATED TO ANY AND ALL RENTALS AND USER CONTENT. ACCORDINGLY, ANY RENTALS MADE BY A USER, RENTER, AND/OR OWNER WILL BE MADE AT THE USER, RENTER, AND/OR OWNER'S OWN RISK.

Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of these Terms shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Texas for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court, or if the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.
Arbitration
Arbitration
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM RIDERS SHARE ("COMPANY").
Any legal or equitable dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to these Terms or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this Agreement, shall be finally resolved exclusively by binding arbitration/dispute resolution through the platform provided by New Era ADR, Inc. (https://app.neweraadr.com/) (the “New Era Platform”) in accordance with its "Abridged Rules and Procedures" by a professional Neutral with relevant experience (the “Neutral”). The Neutral shall be chosen in accordance with the rules and procedures of the New Era Platform. The parties will bear costs as provided for under these terms or, if silent, in accordance with the rules and procedures of the New Era Platform. The [SBB1] Neutral may award attorneys' fees and costs to the prevailing party if permitted by applicable law and the Neutral determines such an award is warranted under the circumstances. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
A party shall initiate an arbitration through New Era ADR at https://app.neweraadr.com. The contact information for Riders Share shall be : info@RidersShare.com and for the User it shall be the last known email address. For more information on initiating disputes please go to New Era ADR’s Virtual Arbitration Help Center. For support when initiating a dispute please contact support@neweraadr.com.
Arbitration Venue and Seat. The legal seat of any arbitration conducted under this Agreement shall be the State of Delaware. The arbitration proceedings may be conducted remotely via the New Era Platform or, if an in-person hearing is required or requested by either party, at a location in Delaware to be determined by the Neutral. The parties may mutually agree in writing to an alternative venue for in-person proceedings.
[SBB1]We changed the fee-shifting provision to make it discretionary rather than mandatory. Mandatory fee-shifting against us (as a service provider dealing with consumers) could make the arbitration agreement unenforceable as unconscionable under many state laws. The revision ensures the Neutral has discretion to award fees only when warranted, which is the safer approach.
Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver
WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICE FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL, OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, EXCEPT WHERE SUCH WAIVER IS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION. UNLESS RIDERS SHARE AGREES OTHERWISE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND RIDERS SHARE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
Entire Agreement/Severability
This Agreement, together with all amendments executed in writing by both parties, all documents expressly referenced and incorporated by reference in this Agreement, and any other legal notices and agreements published by Riders Share via the Service and accepted by you, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Riders Share concerning the Service. If a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator deems any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, and the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the parties' original intent. If such modification is not possible, the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be severed from this Agreement.
