Acceptance of the applicant's application is subject to approval by FlexRide in its sole discretion and without limiting the foregoing, participation in the FlexLease Program may be denied based upon other factors determined by FlexRide. In addition, even if approved for participation in the FlexLease Program, a Subscriber may be restricted from driving certain FlexRide Vehicles at FlexRide's sole discretion for reasons including but not limited to the Subscriber 's driving or subscription history, limitations in connection with FlexRide's service offerings, or the failure to maintain eligibility as required by Section 3.1.

Eligibility for Program Vehicle Operation

For the avoidance of doubt: (a) only Subscriber and the Authorized Driver currently listed on Subscriber's Account, if he or she currently meets the Program Vehicle Operator Eligibility Criteria, are allowed to operate Program Vehicles during the Term and (b) if Subscriber applied to the Program pursuant to Section 2.1, Subscriber is not permitted to operate Program Vehicles.

Continuing Obligation to Meet Eligibility Criteria and Update Contact and Application Information

Subscriber represents and warrants that Subscriber meets and will continue to meet the Eligibility Criteria during the FlexLease Term, and that Subscriber will report as soon as practicable, but no more than twenty-four (24) hours after such change, any change in Subscriber's satisfaction of the Eligibility Criteria and any change in information Subscriber provided during the application process to FlexRide. Subscriber will, as soon as safely practicable, cease operating Program Vehicles in the event any Program Vehicle Operator Criteria are no longer met.

Authorized Driver

Subscriber may have one (1) Authorized Driver listed on Subscriber's Program account at a time. Subscriber can request that an Authorized Driver be de-listed from Subscriber's Account and invite a different person to apply to be listed as an Authorized Driver on Subscriber's Account at any time. In order to operate a Program Vehicle, an Authorized Driver must: (1) currently meet the Program Vehicle Operator Eligibility Criteria with the exception of the requirement to have a valid credit card, debit card, or US bank account, (2) have acknowledged this Agreement in writing (including via email or through the Mobile App or the Website), and (3) be currently listed by FlexRide on Subscriber's Account as an Authorized Driver.

Each such prospective Authorized Driver will apply to become an Authorized Driver by accurately, truthfully, and fully completing the application process for Authorized Drivers available via the Mobile App, the Website, or email and delivering all information and documents that FlexRide requests in the application process or otherwise. By applying to be an Authorized Driver, such applicant agrees to be bound by and comply with the terms of this Agreement applicable to Authorized Drivers. After submitting such an application, Authorized Driver will only become an Authorized Driver upon FlexRide's approval, which approval may be given in FlexRide's sole discretion. Under no circumstances will an Authorized Driver be considered a subscriber solely by virtue of being approved as an Authorized Driver. An Authorized Driver is only permitted to operate Program Vehicles provided to Subscriber in connection with and pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Continuing Obligation to Meet the Authorized Driver Eligibility Criteria

Authorized Driver will report promptly to Subscriber (but no later than twenty-four (24) hours after such change) any change to his or her Program Vehicle Operator Eligibility Criteria so that Subscriber can notify FlexRide within twenty-four (24) hours of Subscriber receiving such notification. Authorized Driver will, as soon as safely practicable, cease operating Program Vehicles upon any change to his or her Program Vehicle Operator Eligibility Criteria.

Authorized Driver Can be Removed at Any Time

An Authorized Driver's status as an Authorized Driver (including any right to operate the Program Vehicles) will immediately terminate upon the following:

At Subscriber's request;
If, as determined in FlexRide's sole discretion, Authorized Driver fails to abide by the terms of this Agreement applicable to Authorized Driver; or
If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.2.

No Rights to Become a Subscriber in the Program or Use Program Vehicles Without Approval

Applicant is not eligible and will have no right to become a Subscriber of the Program unless and until Applicant receives notice that Applicant's application for a Subscription Plan has been approved. Program Subscription Approval is not guaranteed. If Applicant receives Program Subscription Approval, the Applicant will become a Subscriber and FlexRide will provide Subscriber the necessary information in order to pick up a Program Vehicle.

4. Fees, Payments, and Defaults

Activation Fee and Subscriber's Initial Payment

Upon receiving Approval for the FlexLease, Subscriber's Payment Method will be automatically charged in the amount of the applicable Activation Fee described on the Cover Page along with the Subscriber's first periodic payment.

FlexLease Periodic Payments (“Periodic Payments”)

The subscriber will be responsible for paying the first applicable Periodic Payment Upon receiving Approval for the FlexLease. Thereafter, the Subscriber will pay the applicable Periodic Payments as described on the Cover Page until the Agreement is terminated or otherwise expires. Periodic Payments will be automatically charged to the Payment Method on the date due. Periodic Payments (regardless of the Subscription Plan) may include the Maintained Insurance, Program Vehicle maintenance, and delivery of each Program Vehicle with a full detail wash and a full tank of fuel or a full electric charge as applicable. The Periodic Payment due to FlexRide by Subscriber on certain due dates may differ from the amount described on the Cover Page. If you do not pay any periodic payment in full within 5 business days after it is due, you agree to pay us a delinquency charge of 10.00 % of the total periodic payment (or as otherwise provided or limited by applicable law).

Other Charges

FlexRide imposes a mileage limitation as outlined on the Cover Page on each Program Vehicle. If the Subscriber drives a Program Vehicle in excess of the monthly allotted mileage, a fee will be imposed on Subscriber as indicated on the Cover Page.

Subscriber may be subject to an initial deposit to be paid upon execution of this Agreement.

Subscriber may be subject to a return fee if the Program Vehicle is either retrieved or returned by an Agent.

Subscriber may be subject to late charges if the Program Vehicle is returned or retrieved after the specified return date.

Subscriber may be subject to repossession or recovery fees if the Program Vehicle is not returned to FlexRide.

Subscriber may be subject to fees for excessive wear and tear of the Program Vehicle, which determination of excessive wear and tear shall be in the sole discretion of FlexRide.

To the extent permitted by applicable Law, FlexRide reserves the right to hold Subscriber fully responsible for any and all damages, Losses, claims, liabilities, costs, fees, fines, expenses, and penalties arising from Subscriber's participation on the FlexLease Program or Subscriber's or Authorized Driver's possession, access, or operation, which may include, but may not be limited to: (a) physical or mechanical damage, (b) loss due to theft, (c) physical damage resulting from vandalism, (d) bodily injury or property damage of Subscriber, Authorized Driver, or any third party, (e) third party claims, (f) actual charges for towing, storage, impound, or other Violations paid by FlexRide, (g) administrative charges, including but not limited to the costs associated with facilitating any payments for Violations, collection of any fees due hereunder, appraisal of any damage, and other costs and expenses incident to any damage or Loss, (h) Lost Revenue, and (i) Diminution in Value. Subscriber also acknowledges and agrees that FlexRide is not responsible for any medical or other costs associated with any injury sustained by Subscriber or any other person as a result of any accident while the Program Vehicle is in Subscriber's possession, and Subscriber hereby waives any and all claims and agree to indemnify and hold FlexRide harmless against any costs or damages arising out of such claims.

Indemnity/Subscriber's Initial Payment

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify us and hold us and our successors and assignees, as the case may be, harmless and free from all liability, claims, losses, demands, damages of all kinds, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred for the enforcement of this agreement and/or for the collection of any due amount), fines, and penalties we suffer or incur resulting from the operation, use, condition, maintenance, or recovery of the Vehicle. You agree to pay and hold us harmless for all official fees and taxes relating to keeping the Program Vehicle free from all fines, liens, and encumbrances during the FlexLease. The Subscriber's initial payment is non-refundable after pick-up of delivery of the Program Vehicle, whether you voluntarily return the Program Vehicle or if the Program vehicle is repossessed by FlexRide due to Violation from Subscriber of this Agreement. In the event a security deposit was also required as part of your initial payment, it will not be repaid until the vehicle has been returned to FlexRide. The activation fee and any applicable deposit cannot be used as part of any periodic payment due to FlexRide for the use of the Program Vehicle. We may apply the Security Deposit to payment of any amount due to us at the termination or expiration of this FlexLease, including (without limitation) damage, excess wear and use, and excess mileage charges.

Advances on Your Behalf

If you fail to perform any duty with respect to preserving our interest in or insuring the Program Vehicle, we may pay for the performance of such duties on your behalf, and the amount so paid by us will be added to the unpaid balance of your obligations under this FlexLease, provided that we have made the payments in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, and we have given you written notice of the nonperformance and a reasonable opportunity after such notice to perform.

Taxes

Periodic Payments and all other fees and rates listed on the Cover Page are not inclusive of all applicable state and local taxes.

Tickets, Tolls, and Traffic Violations

Subscriber is solely responsible for any Violations. Subscriber will report to FlexRide any Violation incurred in connection with the FlexLease Vehicle within twenty-four (24) hours of Subscriber becoming aware of such Violation. In addition, Subscriber will make arrangements to pay any assessor of a Violation directly and timely. For example, in the case of a toll, Subscriber or Authorized Driver must pay the toll in cash at the applicable toll plaza (where permitted), or must make arrangements to pre-pay any applicable tolls, such as by contacting the applicable toll operator and pre-paying online, by phone, or by mail. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if FlexRide receives notice of a Violation that Subscriber has not paid directly, Subscriber specifically authorizes FlexRide or a third party appointed by FlexRide to automatically charge the Payment Method for any amounts due as a result of such Violation. If we are notified that we may be responsible for payment of a Toll or Violation, you will pay us or a processing firm ("Processor") of our choosing an administrative fee of up to $55.00 for each such notification and processing fee of up to $100.00 for tickets, fines, toll, and violations FlexRide pays on your behalf, in addition for the actual cost of the fine, ticket, toll, or violation. If the Program Vehicle is equipped with a toll transponder provided by FlexRide, Subscriber agrees to reimburse FlexRide for tolls incurred and a monthly processing fee as listed on the Cover Page.

Non-Dispute of Tickets, Tolls, and Traffic Violations in Designated Jurisdictions

Subscribers must accept responsibility for any traffic violations, fines, or tickets incurred while using a program vehicle in jurisdictions where FlexRide cannot transfer liability to the actual driver. This means that if you receive a traffic ticket or fine in these areas (e.g., Washington, DC), you are required to take responsibility and are not permitted to contest it.

Enforcing this Agreement

Subscriber is responsible for and agrees to pay any legal fees, court costs, or other costs and expenses associated with FlexRide enforcement of this Agreement against Subscriber and any (current or previous) Authorized Driver, whether upon termination or otherwise.

Permission to Charge to the Payment Method

To the extent permissible by Law, Subscriber is responsible for paying all amounts incurred in connection with Subscriber's use of the FlexLease Vehicle and related services or this Agreement (including but not limited to any amounts incurred by or in connection with any (current or previous) Authorized Driver) when due, including but not limited to Activation Fees, Periodic Payments, refueling costs, Violations, and other costs and fees as provided in this Agreement. Subscriber specifically authorizes FlexRide or a third party appointed by FlexRide to automatically charge the Payment Method for any amounts due hereunder. If the Payment Method expires or is declined, Subscriber must provide to FlexRide a new and valid Payment Method within five (5) days of such expiration or declination.

Payment Defaults

Subscriber expressly consents and agrees that FlexRide may charge the Payment Method (including but not limited to without advance notice to Subscriber) to collect on any amounts due under this Agreement. In addition, amounts due that are not paid within fourteen (14) days after the date due for payment will be referred for collections. Subscriber expressly authorizes, agrees, and specifically consents to allowing FlexRide, its Agent, and/or its outside collection agencies, outside counsel, or other agents to contact Subscriber in connection with any and all matters relating to unpaid past due charges billed by FlexRide to Subscriber pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Subscriber will comply with any Return Request and will make arrangements to have each such Program Vehicle Returned to FlexRide or to a location designated by FlexRide or its Agent pursuant to the instructions provided by FlexRide in connection with such return request, as soon as safely practicable, but in no event more than twelve (12) hours after a Return Request has been made, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in another writing by FlexRide.

Visual Inspection: Subscriber will perform a “walk around” visual inspection of the exterior of the Program Vehicle with a FlexRide representative at FlexRide or at an applicable Local Vehicle Storage location prior to taking possession of such Program Vehicle in order to confirm that there is no visible damage to the Program Vehicle at the time Subscriber takes possession of such Program Vehicle. Any such damage must be reported by the Subscriber via email or through the Mobile App or the Website.

Returning the Program Vehicle: Upon expiration of the FlexLease Term, Subscriber will Return the Program Vehicle by Returning the Program Vehicle to the destination designated by FlexRide unless FlexRide extends or renews the agreement. After the expiration of the Term, Subscriber may use the same or a different Program Vehicle by re-applying again via email or through the Mobile App or the Website unless the requirement for a new application is waived by FlexRide. In any event, Subscriber must Return the Program Vehicle on or before the last day of the Term. Subscriber is responsible for ensuring that each Program Vehicle is Returned in a clean condition and in the same condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted) as when Subscriber originally took possession of such Program Vehicle.

Fuel or Electric Charge: Each Program Vehicle will be delivered or made available to Subscriber with a full or nearly full tank of fuel or electric charge, when (and to the extent) possible. Subscriber is responsible for Returning the Program Vehicle with a full tank of fuel (except for fully electric Program Vehicles). If Subscriber Returns the Program Vehicle without a full tank of fuel (except for fully electric Program Vehicles), Subscriber will pay the cost of replacing such fuel as described on the Cover Page.

Vehicle Location: You agree that you will store/garage the Program Vehicle at your address stated on the cover page of this agreement or at such other address to which you and we agree upon in writing. Such location shall not be changed without providing at least 7 days prior written notice of the change to us and we acknowledge it in writing. You will breach this agreement, giving us the right to immediate possession (or as otherwise provided or limited by applicable law) of the Program Vehicle if this Section is not followed.

Methods of Contacting Subscriber: Subscriber agrees that contact by on behalf of FlexRide may be made to any mailing address, telephone number, cellular phone number, e-mail address, or any other electronic address that Subscriber has provided or may in the future provide to FlexRide for each of the Subscriber and for any Authorized Driver. Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that any e-mail address or any other electronic address that Subscriber provides to FlexRide is Subscriber’s private address and is not accessible to unauthorized third parties. Subscriber agrees that in addition to individual persons attempting to communicate directly with Subscriber, any type of contact described above may be made using, among other methods, pre-recorded or artificial voice messages delivered by an automatic telephone dialing system, pre-set e-mail messages delivered by an automatic e-mailing system, or any other pre-set electronic messages delivered by any other automatic electronic messaging system. Subscriber agrees that any telephone and cellular phone calls may be monitored and/or recorded by or on behalf of FlexRide in furtherance of the Program services. Subscriber agrees to update FlexRide with any changes to contact information of the kind set forth in this paragraph.

Odometer Disclosure: When you return the Vehicle to us upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, you will be required to disclose the Vehicle's mileage in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. You authorize us to sign your name on the odometer disclosure statement if you have not executed one for us as requested.

Periodic Inspections: We reserve the right to inspect the Vehicle at any reasonable time and place and you agree to provide us with reasonable access to the Vehicle for this purpose.

Connected Car Data: The Program Vehicles are equipped with electronic surveillance and telematics technologies, including but not limited to a global positioning satellite (“GPS”), satellite navigation system, sensing and diagnostic modules (“SDM”), data communication modules (“DCM”), and event data recorders (“EDR”) and/or other technologies that can collect and transmit data (such as location data) about the Program Vehicles (collectively, the “Telematics Systems”), which Telematics Systems are used for the purposes of (i) monitor the Program Vehicle's condition, performance and operation, track fuel consumption, distance travelled, driving behavior (including but not limited to speeding, reckless driving, etc. (ii) recording the Program Vehicle’s location upon non-payment or delayed or non-return of the Program Vehicle; (iii) transmitting information concerning a crash in which the Program Vehicle has been involved to a central communications system when a crash occurs, as well as providing other collision detections and notifications; (iv) providing service warnings; (v) tracking air bag deployment and other incident data; (vi) providing diagnostic data such as fuel and oil levels; (vii) providing navigational services; and
(viii) tracking stolen or unreturned Program Vehicles. If the Program Vehicle is not returned at the Return date and time, FlexRide may notify Subscriber of FlexRide’s intent to use electronic self-help to retrieve the Program Vehicle, and Subscriber agrees that electronic self-help may be employed by FlexRide as described in this section. FlexRide reserves the right to resort to electronic self-help on or after the Return date, in FlexRide’s sole discretion. Subscribers may contact FlexRide at our number listed on this Agreement with any concerns Subscriber has regarding this Agreement. The Telematics System may (in whole or in part) have been installed or affixed after the Program Vehicle’s manufacture. The Telematics System utilizes wireless technology to transmit data and, therefore, privacy cannot be guaranteed and is specifically disclaimed by Subscriber and/or Authorized Driver. Subscriber expressly consents to the installation of the Telematics System in the Program Vehicle and Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Subscriber has no expectation of privacy related to Subscriber’s use of the Vehicle; (b) FlexRide is not responsible for the operability of the Telematics System; (c) to the extent permissible by law, FlexRide, and any affiliates, and third parties acting on FlexRide’s behalf: (i) may have access to the information supplied by the Telematics System, including, but not limited to: location, automatic crash notification, operational, mileage, diagnostic vehicle health data, tolling (if permitted by law), performance, and driver behavior (collectively, the “Telematics Data”); and (ii) may monitor the Program Vehicle or disclose such information to the extent permitted by law; and (d) it is Subscriber’s obligation to inform any and all Authorized Drivers and passengers of the terms of this paragraph. Use of the Telematics System (which may occur automatically by using the Program Vehicle) is subject to the FlexRide Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”). By entering into this Agreement, Subscriber consents to such Privacy Policy and to the collection, use, monitoring, and disclosure of the Telematics Data (including, but not limited to the disclosure of aggregated data for marketing purposes) to the extent permitted by law. The subscriber acknowledges that disabling any of the Telematics Systems will result in a breach of this Agreement and is cause for termination of this Agreement and FlexRide’s retrieval of the Program Vehicle.

Vehicle Swapping Policy: FlexRide offers eligible Subscribers the option to swap their current Program Vehicle for a like-class vehicle, subject to the following conditions:

Eligibility Requirements: To be eligible for a vehicle swap, the Subscriber must be in good standing with FlexRide, which includes but is not limited to:

Maintain excellent payment history for at least 90 days prior to the vehicle swap.

Maintained a good driving record and driving habits free of major traffic violations or at-fault accidents.

Not defaults under the terms of the FlexLease Agreement.

Vehicle Swap Fee: If the Subscriber meets all eligibility requirements, they may swap their existing program vehicle for another within the same vehicle class by paying a reduced swap fee, as outlined in the Subscription Plan.

Approval and Discretion: Vehicle swaps are subject to vehicle availability and FlexRide's approval. Even if a Subscriber meets all the eligibility requirements, FlexRide reserves the right to deny a swap request at its sole discretion.

Condition of Returned Vehicle: The Subscriber must return their current program vehicle in good condition, without excessive wear or damage, and in compliance with the Standards for Wear and Use outlined in this FlexLease Agreement. Any necessary repairs or outstanding fees must be settled before the new program vehicle swap is finalized.

Process for Requesting a Swap: Subscribers wishing to swap their program vehicle must submit a formal request through the FlexRide Mobile App, Website, or by contacting FlexRide support. FlexRide will review the request and confirm eligibility before approving the program vehicle swap.

FlexRide reserves the right to amend or discontinue the Vehicle Swapping Policy at its sole discretion. Any changes will be communicated to Subscribers in accordance with the terms of this FlexLease Agreement.

7. Insurance and Liability

Insurance

Insurance for Physical Damage and Insurance for Liability for Bodily and Property Damage Caused to Others is not automatically included in the FlexLease. You are required to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of the public and FlexRide. You agree to provide and maintain in force the Required Insurance coverage in (at least) the amount and types specified in this FlexLease.

Required Insurance

FlexRide has no responsibility for insuring the Vehicle or as to any substitute vehicle provided by or on behalf of FlexRide. You will provide at least the following insurance coverage (“REQUIRED INSURANCE”) on the vehicle at all times during the term of this Agreement, including any extensions or renewals: LIABILITY, COLLISION, and COMPREHENSIVE insurance coverage (including fire and theft coverage) must be at the minimum or greater amount set forth in the applicable state law for program vehicles, with a

COLLISION and COMPREHENSIVE deductible not to exceed $500.00. You agree to provide the insurance at your own expense with a

duly licensed insurance company of your choice that is acceptable to us and may be provided through existing policies that you own or control. You also agree to name FlexRide or our assignee as loss payee and additional insureds. The insurance company must send notices to both the additional insured and the loss payee, providing at least 10 days advance notice to us of any cancellation or other material change in coverage. At our request, you will promptly provide us with written proof of insurance to us in writing if any of the insurance provided information changes. All accidents or collisions/comprehensive events must be immediately reported to and will be coordinated by FlexRide or this Agreement is in default. You appoint FlexRide, through our appointed officers or employees, as your attorney in fact to endorse your name on any check we receive for insurance proceeds. This power of attorney is coupled with any interest and is irrevocable until all obligations you owe under this Agreement are paid in full. You (Subscriber(s)) are responsible for any loss amount your insurance company does not pay, including your deductible.

NOTICE: Liability insurance coverage for bodily injury, property damage, and motor vehicle damage caused to others is not included in this FlexLease.

NOTICE: The FlexLease is IMMEDIATELY in DEFAULT and the Vehicle is subject to IMMEDIATE RECOVERY WITHOUT NOTICE if the required insurance is not IN-FORCE AT ALL TIMES during the term of this FlexLease (or as otherwise provided or limited by applicable law).

NOTICE: FlexRide maintains a list of preferred and approved insurance companies, available to members upon request. Members must contact FlexRide regarding any insurer not on this list. FlexRide reserves the right to deny new or existing FlexLease agreements if an insurer is not approved.

Maintained Insurance

If approved by FlexRide, the Subscriber(s) will have the option to purchase, for an additional amount, “FlexRide's On-Rent Coverage”. In the event the Subscriber(s) is approved by FlexRide and elects FlexRide's On-Rent Coverage to meet the “Required insurance” under this Agreement, FlexRide will procure and maintain insurance coverage through a third-party insurer in the amount of or exceeding the applicable state motor vehicle minimum financial responsibility requirements, covering use of the FlexLease Vehicle by the Subscriber and additional Authorized Driver listed by FlexRide on Subscriber's FlexLease account or this Agreement, subject to certain exclusions and limitations as provided below and subject to the terms in the applicable insurance policies (the “Maintained Insurance”). Maintained Insurance also includes comprehensive coverage. Where required by law, Maintained Insurance includes PIP or “no-fault” coverage to the minimum level required by the jurisdiction in which the accident occurs or the claim is adjudicated. To the extent permitted by Law, any personal injury coverage that Subscriber or Authorized Driver has available will be primary over any PIP or no-fault coverage that FlexRide may procure. To the extent permitted by Law, FlexRide has the sole discretion to accept or waive and reject the inclusion of uninsured motorist, underinsured motorist, supplementary no-fault, or any other optional coverage, and FlexRide is hereby authorized to sign any forms or acknowledgments on behalf of Subscriber or any (current or previous) Authorized Driver accepting or rejecting (at FlexRide discretion) such coverage. The Maintained Insurance may not be adequate to fully cover Subscriber's or any (current or previous) Authorized Driver's liability. FlexRide recommends that Subscriber and Authorized Driver consult with their respective insurance agents before using FlexRide's on- rent Coverage. Subscriber and Authorized Driver are encouraged to obtain additional personal insurance coverage that covers their liability. In addition, Subscriber understands that engaging in a Prohibited Use or other violation of this Agreement may void any Maintained Insurance coverage that Subscriber may be entitled to through Subscriber's participation in the Program. Subscriber expressly agrees that the insurance coverage available to the Subscriber is dictated by the terms of the applicable policies and is not fully set forth herein.

FlexRide is not an Insurer

By entering into this agreement, Subscriber expressly agrees that FlexRide is neither an insurance company nor an insurance agent. Subscribers further agree that FlexRide is not in the business of producing insurance. The subscriber also agrees that FlexRide is not in the business of adjusting claims, and any claims adjustment will be handled by the third-party insurer's claims adjuster.

Applicable Deductible

You agree that in the event of damage, Subscriber agrees that Subscriber is responsible for the applicable deductible and FlexRide or the third-party insurer may immediately charge you up to the amount of any applicable deductible set forth in the responding insurance policy if the damage equals or exceeds the deductible and to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Exclusions and Limitations

To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the exclusions from and limitations of the Maintained Insurance include, but are not limited to, losses arising from: (i) Subscriber's or any (current or previous) Authorized Driver's criminal, willful, or grossly negligent actions or omissions in the operation of Program Vehicles or in connection with the FlexLease; or (ii) Subscriber's or any (current or previous) Authorized Driver's violation of this Agreement; and (iii) any person's lost, stolen, or damaged property in or from Program Vehicles. Subscriber's personal property is not covered by the Maintained Insurance. In the unlikely event of a conflict or inconsistency between the explanation of insurance coverage in this Agreement and the terms of the applicable insurance policy, the insurance policy language controls.

Indemnity

To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Subscriber will defend, indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse FlexRide (including its

affiliates) and all of such parties' respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, and agents (collectively “FlexRide Parties”) from and for all claims, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, fees, fines, penalties, costs, or expenses, including but not limited to attorneys' fees and court costs, incurred by any of such parties or paid by any of them to any person in respect of Subscriber's or any (current or previous) Authorized Driver's access, use, or operation of the FlexLease Vehicle or participation in the FlexLease.

Reporting of Accidents

Subscriber will report the occurrence of any accident, damage, or Loss, including but not limited to theft of Program Vehicles, to FlexRide, the third-party insurer, and to the applicable law enforcement agencies as soon as safely practicable after Subscriber becomes aware of such incident; however, at minimum, Subscriber will report any such incident to FlexRide, the third-party insurer, and the police as soon as practicable after learning of such incident. As part of such report, Subscriber will provide a written description of the incident and the insurance information of the other parties involved, if applicable. Subscriber will promptly provide a copy of such report to FlexRide. Subscriber or Authorized Driver, as applicable, will make a reasonable effort to obtain evidence from any witnesses to the incident, if applicable. Subscriber understands that failure to provide prompt notification to the third-party insurer may exclude coverage for any loss.

Cooperation with Loss Investigation

Subscriber and any (current or previous) Authorized Driver agree to fully cooperate in any investigation that FlexRide or any insurer may choose to conduct if Program Vehicles are damaged in any way. Subscriber and any (current or previous) Authorized Driver, as appropriate, will immediately send each request, demand, order, notice, summons, or other pleading Subscriber or such Authorized Driver receives in connection with any incident involving Program Vehicles to FlexRide and the third-party insurer. Neither Subscriber nor any (current or previous) Authorized Driver may assume any obligation, make or commit to make any payment, or incur any expense on FlexRide behalf without FlexRide prior written consent. Subscriber understands that failure to cooperate with the third-party insurer's investigation may exclude coverage for any loss.

Application of Graves Amendment

The provision of the Maintained Insurance does not change the application to FlexRide of vicarious liability protection pursuant to the Graves Amendment (49 U.S.C. § 30106), and neither FlexRide nor any of its affiliates has any vicarious or other liability for Subscriber or any (current or previous) Authorized Driver.

Florida Law Notice - Insurance Responsibility

In accordance with the exception to Section 627.7263, Florida Statutes, you are hereby notified that this FlexLease agreement provides that the valid and collectible liability and personal injury insurance of the renter, or any other person operating this motor vehicle with the renter’s consent, shall be primary. The renter is contracting that their insurance is to be primary in accordance with said statute and in accordance with the limits of liability as required by Section 324.021(7), Florida Statutes.

8. Repossession and Recovery of Program Vehicles

To the extent permitted by Law, FlexRide reserves the right to recover or repossess the Program Vehicle at any time without notice, at Subscriber's expense, if Subscriber or any (current or previous) Authorized Driver violates this Agreement or upon termination or expiration of this Agreement and the Program Vehicle has still not been Returned. Subscriber agrees to pay all costs, including but not limited to third party repossession costs and fees and other reasonable court costs and attorneys' fees, if any, associated with FlexRide repossession or recovery of any Program Vehicle. Subscriber and Authorized Driver hereby agree to waive all claims for damages or other Losses related to FlexRide's repossession or recovery of the Program Vehicle.

9. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability

Disclaimer of Warranties

Disclaimer of Liability

Under no circumstances shall the FlexRide parties be liable for any and all claims, actions, losses, liabilities, damages, fees, fines, expenses, costs, and penalties (collectively “losses”) incurred or sustained by or imposed upon any of the FlexRide parties, subscriber or any (current or previous) authorized drivers, based upon, arising out of, with respect to, or by reason of subscriber's or any (current or previous) authorized driver's criminal, willful, or negligent action or omission in connection with this agreement, the access, use, or operation of the program vehicle, or in connection with participation in the program.

Disclaimer of Responsibility for Personal Property

The FlexRide parties are not liable for any person's lost, stolen, or damaged property in and from the program vehicle, including but not limited to damage or loss.

Without limiting the foregoing, the FlexRide parties will have no liability for (a) any loss of or damage to any goods or other personal property in or on program vehicles or in or on any third party vehicle; (b) any losses (including with respect to personal injury, death, or property damage) in relation to subscriber, any (current or previous) authorized driver, or any third party; (c) any losses incurred by subscriber or any (current or previous) authorized driver as a result of any claims made by a third party; or (d) any losses incurred by subscriber or any (current or previous) authorized driver in connection to either (i) the non-availability, supply, operation, or use of the program vehicle or (ii) any accessories in or to the program vehicle, whether supplied by FlexRide or by subscriber or authorized driver (including but not limited to luggage racks, bicycle racks, and child safety seats). In all cases, subscriber and authorized driver are responsible for the safe installation of such accessories and must check the condition of accessories in or to program vehicles before each use.

10. Dispute Resolution

Binding Mutual Arbitration

Any dispute, claim, or controversy in connection with, arising out of, or relating to a Subscription in the Program, this Agreement, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Agreement, including but not limited to the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate (a “Dispute”) will be determined by arbitration in the State in which this Agreement was executed before a single arbitrator. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This provision will not preclude Parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

Conduct of Arbitration

The arbitration will be commenced by the claimant Party filing a demand for arbitration with the administrator of AAA and serving the demand on the opposing Party. Within thirty (30) calendar days of the date the demand for arbitration is filed, the Parties will select an arbitrator by following the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules' appointment procedures. Except as may be required by Law, neither Party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under this Agreement without the prior written consent of both Parties. The arbitrator's award will be in writing, accompanied by a reasoned opinion and a written statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

Costs

The arbitrator will determine how the costs and expenses of the arbitration will be allocated between the Parties and may award attorneys' fees (in any case subject to the attorneys' fees provisions hereunder as applicable).

Remedies

The arbitrator will have the power to award any party any remedies that would be available to that Party in his or her individual capacity under this Agreement or otherwise in a court of law for the Dispute presented to and decided by the arbitrator.

Arbitration is on an Individual Basis Only; Class Action Waiver

The parties agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis and that this agreement does not permit class arbitration or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. Notwithstanding the arbitrator's power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction and the validity or enforceability of the agreement to arbitrate, the arbitrator has no power to rule on the validity or enforceability of the agreement to arbitrate solely on an individual basis. In the event the prohibition on class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this section will remain in force.

Applicable Law

This Agreement and the rights of the Parties hereunder will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Virginia, exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the provision in the preceding sentence with respect to applicable substantive Law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Secs. 1-16).

Right to Legal Recourse for Nonpayment and Recovery

Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration requirement, FlexRide reserves the right to pursue legal action in a court of competent jurisdiction for the limited purpose of collecting unpaid amounts, recovering possession of Program Vehicles, and enforcing FlexRide's security interest in Program Vehicles. This exception is limited to actions initiated by FlexRide for nonpayment or recovery of vehicles and does not affect the arbitration requirement for all other disputes.

11. Term and Termination

Effect of Termination

Upon termination of this Agreement, any rights Subscriber and Authorized Driver have to use the Program Vehicle and to participate in the Program will immediately terminate, and Subscriber or Authorized Driver, as applicable, will (as soon as safely practicable) cease operation of the Program Vehicle and make arrangements to have such Program Vehicle Returned to FlexRide pursuant to FlexRide's instructions regarding such Return as soon as safely practicable (but in no event after 1 business day). Termination of this Agreement will not affect or diminish any obligations of Subscriber's until the Program Vehicle is returned to FlexRide and is within FlexRide's possession. Additionally, termination of this Agreement and return of the Program Vehicle will not affect any provisions of this Agreement which survive termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10 herein. No Subscription Fees or any other amounts previously paid by Subscriber will be returned or refunded to Subscriber in the event the Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the Term.

If this Lease is terminated early because of the total loss or destruction of the Vehicle and you have not maintained the Required Insurance within this Lease, you agree to pay an amount equal to the remaining balance of the Base Periodic Payments, Residual Value, and any amounts outstanding under the Lease, less the reasonable value of the salvage vehicle, unless paid by insurance.

12. General Provisions

Entire Agreement; Survival; Conflict with Law

The Schedules to this Agreement, the Cover Page, the Program FAQs accessible either by email, the Mobile App, or the Website (collectively the “FAQs”), and the FlexRide Mobile App and Website Terms of Service (included as Schedule 1 to this Agreement), each as amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, are incorporated by reference into this Agreement. To the extent there is a direct conflict between a provision or term of this Agreement and a Law applicable to this Agreement or a rental of a Program Vehicle, the applicable Law will govern. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and it is not necessary that the signatures of all the parties hereto appear on the same counterpart, but such counterparts together will constitute a single effective Agreement. Further, counterparts to this Agreement may be executed by hand or by any electronic signature or consent, and executed counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail, or other similar transmission method, and any executed counterpart so delivered shall be valid and effective for all purposes. Any edits made to this Agreement so as to include Vehicle identification information or specifics may be made by FlexRide in their sole discretion and will be incorporated herein without further approval or execution.

Acknowledgment that Subscriber has Read this Agreement

By accepting this Agreement, Subscriber represents and warrants to FlexRide that Subscriber has received all explanations that Subscriber has reasonably requested concerning the content of this Agreement, including but not limited to all schedules, and that Subscriber has carefully reviewed and understands Subscriber's commitments and obligations hereunder.

No Assignment by Subscriber or Authorized Driver

The rights and obligations of Subscriber and Authorized Driver under this Agreement are not assignable or transferable in whole or in part by Subscriber or Authorized Driver. Any attempt by Subscriber or Authorized Driver to transfer this Agreement without FlexRide written consent will be void and of no force and effect.

Assignment by FlexRide Permissible

FlexRide may assign this Agreement or its rights and responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement (including its right to recover any Fees, Charges, or other payment streams) to one or more affiliates, agents, contractors, or third parties without notice to Subscriber. Further, FlexRide may allow affiliates, agents, contractors, or third parties to join in and be bound to this Agreement in FlexRide's sole discretion. For example, but without limiting the foregoing, FlexRide may appoint an affiliate or third party to repossess or recover Program Vehicles or to process tickets and tolls.

No Waiver

No delay or omission by FlexRide in FlexRide's exercise of any right or power occurring upon any noncompliance or default by Subscriber or an Authorized Driver with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof. Any waiver by FlexRide of any covenant, condition, or agreement to be performed by Subscribers or any (current or previous) Authorized Driver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of the same or of any other covenant, condition, or agreement hereunder. Unless stated otherwise, all remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to either Party at Law, in equity, or otherwise.

Severability

If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of the provisions will continue in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed with the invalid portion eliminated. The Parties further agree to substitute for the invalid provision a valid provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.

Modification

FlexRide reserves the right to modify, change, or revise this Agreement (in whole or in part) (each a “Modification”), including but not limited to the schedules to this Agreement or the Vehicle identification information on the Cover Page, at any time and from time to time. In particular, if or when specific Vehicle identification information (including but not limited to a vehicle identification number or a license plate number) is obtained by FlexRide after the execution of this Agreement, such information will be incorporated into this Agreement and the Cover Page once obtained by FlexRide, which Modification does not require Subscriber's consent and a revised Agreement containing such Modification will be sent by FlexRide to Subscriber prior to the delivery of the Vehicle. For the avoidance of doubt, any Agreement revised so as to include Vehicle identification information shall not require re-execution by the Parties and shall take immediate effect. Further, all terms of this Agreement as originally presented to and executed by Subscriber shall remain valid and binding upon Subscriber despite the Modifications made. Subscriber will inform the current Authorized Driver listed by FlexRide on Subscriber's account of any Modification to the Agreement. Subscriber's and such Authorized Driver's continued use of Program services after any Modification to this Agreement will constitute their continued consent to the Agreement as modified.

Notices

Any notices or communications required or permitted to be given to Subscriber shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if emailed to Subscriber or if posted on the Mobile App or the Website. Any notices or communications required or permitted to be given to FlexRide shall be in the form required by this Agreement for such notice.
