THE SERVICES ARE INTENDED TO BE USED TO FACILITATE THE BOOKING OF RECREATIONAL VEHICLES.

Side By Side Share IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATED TO ANY AND ALL LISTINGS AND VEHICLES OR ADD ONS.

Side By Side Share may permit or refuse your request a booking or make a Listing in its sole and absolute discretion.
Driver Application Process
When you rent your first vehicle, we ask for your payment information, your personal information and your Drivers’ License information or International Driver Permit so that we can ensure you meet our eligibility requirements. In most cases, the driver eligibility check takes seconds, as long as we can verify all of your information. Side By Side Share may use third party source(s) to complete your eligibility check and will not share information outside of this scope.
In some cases, we may need additional information for verification purposes, and you will be provided with these requirements when you attempt to book a vehicle, or you may go through our pre-approval process, so you’ll be ready when it’s time to book.
Account Registration
In order to access certain features of the Services, and to book a Recreational Vehicle or create a Listing, you must register to create an account (“Side By Side Share Account”) and become a Member. You may register to join the Services directly via the Services or as described in this section.
We will create your Side By Side Share Account and your Side By Side Share Account profile page for your use of the Services based upon the personal information you provide to us or that we obtain via a Third Party Application (i.e. Apple and Google). You may not have more than one (1) active Side By Side Share Account. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete. Side By Side Share reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Side By Side Share Account and your access to the Services if you create more than one (1) Side By Side Share Account or if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, not current or incomplete. You are responsible for safeguarding your password. You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party and that you will take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your Side By Side Share Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You will immediately notify Side By Side Share of any unauthorized use of your Side By Side Share Account.
Recreational Vehicle Listings
As a Member, you may create Listings. You will be asked a variety of questions about the UTV, ATV, or other recreational vehicle to be listed, including, but not limited to, the VIN, registration information, value, location, size, features, availability of the vehicle, pricing, related rules, and financial terms. You acknowledge and agree that Listings will be made publicly available via the Services. Other Members will be able to book your Vehicle via the Services based upon the information provided in your Listing. You understand and agree that once a Renter requests a booking, the price for such booking may not be altered without contacting customer service.
You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for any and all Listings you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Listing you post and the booking of, or Renter use of, an Vehicle in a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties and (ii) is in compliance with all applicable state, municipal and federal laws, Tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Vehicle included in a Listing you post, including, but not limited to, insurance requirements, Department of Motor Vehicle regulations, zoning laws, and laws governing rentals and operation of UTV, ATVs, or other Recreational Vehicles and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties. Please note that Side By Side Share assumes no responsibility for an Owner’s compliance with any applicable laws, rules and regulations.
Side By Side Share is not responsible for any damages to a Vehicle rented through the Side By Side Share site and you will hold Side By Side Share harmless for any claims related to damages, injury, Protection Plan claims, towing, service or repairs, tolls, fines, traffic violations.
Side By Side Share reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason, including Listings that Side By Side Share, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or otherwise harmful to the Services.
You understand and agree that Side By Side Share does not act as an insurer or as a contracting agent for you as an Owner. If a Renter requests a booking of your UTV, ATV, or other Recreational Vehicle and uses your UTV OR ATV, or other Recreational Vehicle, any agreement you enter into with such Renter is between you and the Renter and Side By Side Share is not a party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Side By Side Share serves as the limited authorized agent of the Owner for the purpose of accepting payments from Renters on behalf of the Owner and is responsible for transmitting such payments to the Owner.
When you create a Listing, you may also choose to include certain requirements which must be met by the Members who are eligible to request a booking of your Vehicle, including, but not limited to, requiring Members to have a profile picture or verified phone number. Any Member wishing to book UTV, ATVs, or other Recreational Vehicles included in Listings with such requirements must meet these requirements; however, as noted below, we do not attempt to confirm or verify such information. More information on how to set such requirements is available via the “Owners” section of the Services. If you are an Owner, Side By Side Share makes certain tools available to you to help you to make informed decisions about which Members you choose to confirm for booking for your Recreational Vehicle. You acknowledge and agree that, as an Owner, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions.
No Endorsement
Side By Side Share does not endorse any Members or any Recreational Vehicles listed on the platform. Although these Terms require Members to provide accurate information, we do not attempt to confirm, and do not confirm, any Member’s purported identity or other information provided by such Member. You are responsible for determining the identity and suitability of others who you contact via the Services. We will not be responsible for any damage or harm resulting from your interactions with other Members.
By using the Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Members or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Members or other third parties who caused you harm and you agree not to attempt to impose liability on, or seek any legal or financial remedy from Side By Side Share with respect to such actions or omissions.
Accordingly, we encourage you to communicate directly with other Members on the Services regarding any bookings or Listings made by you. This limitation shall not apply to any claim by an Owner against Side By Side Share regarding the remittance of payments received from a Renter by Side By Side Share on behalf of an Owner, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled “Limitation of Liability”
Bookings and Financial Terms
If you are an Owner and a booking is requested for your Recreational Vehicle via the Services, you may be required to either confirm or reject the booking within 24 hours of when the booking is requested (as determined by Side By Side Share in its sole discretion) or the booking request may be automatically canceled. When a booking is requested via the Services, we will share with you (i) the first and last name of the Renter who has requested the booking, and, (ii) a link to the Renter’s Side By Side Share Account profile page, so that you can view such information before confirming or rejecting the booking. If you are unable to confirm or decide to reject a booking of an UTV OR ATV within such a 24 hour period, any amounts collected by Side By Side Share for the requested booking may be refunded to the applicable Renter’s credit card and any pre-authorization of such credit card will be released. When you confirm a booking requested by a Renter, Side By Side Share will send you an email, text message or message via the Services confirming such booking, depending on the selections you make via the Services.
The fees displayed in each Listing are comprised of the Vehicle Fees (defined below) and the Renter Fees (defined below.) Where applicable, Taxes may be charged in addition to the Vehicle Fees and Renter Fees. The Vehicle Fees, the Renter Fees and applicable Taxes are collectively referred to in these Terms as the “Total Fees”. The amounts due and payable by a Renter solely relating to an Owner’s Vehicle which are actually collected by Side By Side Share are the “Vehicle Fees”. Please note that it is the Owner and not Side By Side Share who determines the Vehicle Fees. The Vehicle Fees may include cleaning fees, security deposits, pre-paid fuel charges, at the Owner’s discretion.
Side By Side Share charges fees to Renters based upon a percentage of applicable Vehicle Fees, which are the “Service Fees” and a Protection Plan fee, “Protection Plan Fees”. The Service Fees and Protection Plan Fees are added to the Vehicle Fees to calculate the Total Fees (which will also include applicable Taxes) displayed in the applicable Listing. Side By Side Share will collect the Total Fees at the time of booking confirmation (i.e. when the Owner confirms the booking within 24 hours of the booking request) and will initiate payment of the Vehicle Fees (less Side By Side Share’s Service Fees and Protection Plan Fees as defined in the Fees Policy to the Owner two business days after of when the Renter arrives at the applicable Vehicle (except to the extent that a refund is due to the Renter).
Failure to charge any of the fees or other indulgences shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event another fee should become due at any other time.
Appointment of Side By Side Share as Payment Agent for Owner
Each Owner hereby appoints Side By Side Share as the Owner’s limited agent solely for the purpose of facilitating payments made by Renters on behalf of the Owner.
Each Owner agrees that payment of Vehicle fees made by a Renter to payment processor, provided by Side By Side Share, shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Owner and the Owner will make the Recreational Vehicle available to Renter in the agreed-upon manner as if the Owner has received the Vehicle Fees. Each Owner agrees that Side By Side Share may, in accordance with the cancellation policy, (i) permit the Renter to cancel the booking and (ii) refund to the Renter that portion of the Vehicle Fees specified in the applicable cancellation policy. In accepting appointment as the limited authorized agent of the Owner, Side By Side Share assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Owner.
By using the payment functionality provided by Side By Side Share, you agree to the Stripe Terms of Service and Stripe Privacy Policy. You authorize Side By Side Share to collect and share with Stripe your personal information including full name, email address, and financial information for the purpose of creating a "Stripe Platform" account on your behalf, and you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that data. You understand that you will access and manage your Stripe account through Side By Side Share, and Stripe account notifications will be sent by Side By Side Share, not Stripe. Side By Side Share will provide customer support for your Stripe account activity.
Please note that Side By Side Share does not currently charge fees for the creation of Listings. However, you acknowledge and agree that Side By Side Share reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to charge you for and collect fees from you for the creation of Listings, or for other features of the Services. Please note that Side By Side Share will provide notice of any such additional fees via the Services, prior to implementing such fees.
Bookings and Financial Terms for Renters
The Owners, not Side By Side Share, are solely responsible for honoring any confirmed bookings and making available any Vehicles reserved through the Services. If you, as a Renter, choose to enter into a transaction with an Owner for the booking of an UTV, ATV, or other Recreational Vehicle, you agree and understand that you will be required to enter into an agreement with the Owner and you agree to accept any terms, conditions, rules, and restrictions associated with such UTV, ATV, or Recreational Vehicle imposed by the Owner. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not Side By Side Share, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any such agreements, that Side By Side Share is not a party to such agreements, and that, with the exception of its obligations hereunder to pay Vehicle Fees to the applicable Owner, Side By Side Share disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements. You acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the fact that Side By Side Share is not a party to the agreement between you and the Owner, Side By Side Share acts as the Owner’s payment agent for the limited purpose of accepting payments from you on behalf of the Owner. Upon your payment of amounts to Side By Side Share, which are due to the Owner, your payment obligation to the Owner for such amounts is extinguished, and Side By Side Share is responsible for remitting such amounts, less Side By Side Share’s Owner Fees, to the Owner. In the event that Side By Side Share does not remit any such amounts to an Owner, such Owner will have recourse for such amounts only against Side By Side Share.
Vehicle Listings will specify the Total Fees. As noted above, the Owner is required to either confirm or reject the booking within 24 hours of when the booking is requested (as determined by Side By Side Share in its sole discretion) or the requested booking may be automatically canceled. If a requested booking is canceled (i.e. not confirmed by the applicable Owner), any amounts collected by Side By Side Share will be refunded to such Renter, depending on the selections the Renter makes via the Services, and any pre-authorization of such Renter’s credit card will be released, if applicable.
You agree to pay Side By Side Share for any confirmed bookings made in connection with your Side By Side Share Account in accordance with these Terms by one of the methods described on the Site or Application – e.g. by cash or credit card. You hereby authorize the collection of such amounts by charging the credit card provided as part of requesting the booking directly by Side By Side Share. You also authorize Side By Side Share to charge the Renter’s credit card in the event of damage caused on an UTV, ATV, or Recreational Vehicle as contemplated under “Damage to UTV OR ATVs OR Recreational Vehicles” below and for Security Deposits (as defined below), if applicable. Once a confirmed booking transaction is completed you will receive a confirmation email in Side By Side Share summarizing the confirmed booking.
You agree that you may not use the Side By Side Share Services and then complete a booking transaction outside of the Side By Side Share Services in order to circumvent the obligation to pay any portion of Service Fees related to Side By Side Share provision of the Services. If you circumvent any portion of the Service Fees related to the Side By Side Share Software, Side By Side Share reserves the right to reject or deny the related transaction as (i) a valid transaction, (ii) no Protection Plan coverage will be applied to the rental and, (iii) all other insurance coverages may be suspended and, (iv) Side By Side Share will have no responsibility nor obligation to the parties engaged in the transaction.
You agree to pay Side By Side Share for the Total Fees for any booking requested in connection with your Side By Side Share Account if such requested bookings are confirmed by the applicable Owner. In order to establish a booking pending the applicable Owner’s confirmation of your requested booking, you understand and agree that Side By Side Share, on behalf of the Owner, reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) obtain a pre-authorization via your credit card for the Total Fees or (ii) charge your credit card a nominal amount, not to exceed one dollar ($1) to verify your credit card. Once Side By Side Share receives confirmation of your booking from the applicable Owner, Side By Side Share will collect the Total Fees in accordance with these Terms and the pricing terms set forth in the applicable Listing. Please note that Side By Side Share cannot control any fees that may be charged to a Renter by his or her bank related to Side By Side Share’s collection of the Total Fees, and Side By Side Share disclaims all liability in this regard.
In connection with your requested booking, you will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address and credit card information either to Side By Side Share or its third party payment facilitator. You agree to pay Side By Side Share for any confirmed bookings made in connection with your Side By Side Share Account in accordance with these Terms by one of the methods described on the Site or Application. You hereby authorize the collection of such amounts by charging the credit card provided as part of requesting the booking, either directly by Side By Side Share or indirectly, via a third party online facilitating payments or by one of the payment methods described on the Services. You also authorize Side By Side Share to charge your credit card in the event of damage caused on an UTV OR ATV as contemplated under “Damage to UTV OR ATVs Or Recreational Vehicles” below and for Security Deposits (as defined below), if applicable. If you are directed to Side By Side Share’s third-party payment facilitator, you may be subject to terms and conditions governing use of that third party’s service and that third party’s personal information collection practices. Please review such terms and conditions and privacy policy before using the services. Once your confirmed booking transaction is completed you will receive a confirmation email summarizing your confirmed booking.
Security Deposits
Side By Side Share collects a security deposit for each confirmed booking of a Vehicle to cover any potential claims related to the Owner’s Vehicle. As the payment agent, Side By Side Share will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a pre-authorization of the Renter's credit card for the Security Deposit amount prior to the Renter’s check-in at the applicable vehicle. Side By Side Share will collect and hold in escrow a security deposit twenty-four (24) hours prior to the rental date and up to forty-eight (48) hours from the rental end date. Owners have the right to request a payment from the security deposit funds or Security Deposit Waiver if eligible for disbursement within the forty-eight (48) hours after the rental end date. Owners must submit dated departure and return forms including photos along with their request for reimbursement. Side By Side Share will review the request for payment and process the requested amount to Owners should Side By Side Share approve the request. Side By Side Share may also request additional information from either rental party. If, as a Renter, Side By Side Share determines that you are responsible for damage done to a Vehicle, you authorize Side By Side Share to charge the credit card or ACH used to make the booking in order to collect any security deposit associated with the Listing and/or any additional charges. Side By Side Share will serve as the final authority on all security deposit dispute resolution.
Service Fees
In consideration for providing the Services, Side By Side Share collects service fees from Owners and Renters (“Service Fees”). Service Fees are made up of three (3) components: (i) Renter Service Fees, (ii) an Owner Service Fee that is charged to the Owner based upon a percentage of the amount of the Vehicle Fees (“Owner Fees”) and (iii) a Protection Plan Fee. Where applicable, Taxes may also be charged in addition to the Owner Fees. Side By Side Share Fees are deducted from the Vehicle Fees before remitting the Vehicle Fees to the Owner, within 24 hours of when the Renter arrives at the applicable Vehicle. Renter Fees are, as noted above, included in the Total Fees.
Balances will be remitted to Owners, by Side By Side Share, via payment methods described on Services. Remittance currency will be that of the destination bank provided by Owner. And, except as otherwise provided herein, Service Fees are non-refundable.
Cancellations and Refunds
If, as a Renter, you cancel your requested booking before the requested booking is confirmed by an Owner, Side By Side Share will cancel any pre-authorization to your credit card and/or refund any nominal amounts charged to your credit card in connection with the requested booking within a commercially reasonable time. If, as a Renter, you wish to cancel a confirmed booking made via the Services, either prior to or after arriving at the Recreational Vehicle, the cancellation policy will apply to such cancellation. Our ability to refund the Recreational Vehicle Fees and other amounts charged to you will depend upon the terms of the applicable cancellation policy.
Details regarding refunds and cancellation policies are as follows:

- 50% refunded if canceled within 14 days of the reservation.

If the Renter requests a booking from one of the alternative Listings and the Owner associated with such alternative Listing confirms the Renter’s requested booking, then the Renter agrees to pay Side By Side Share the Total Fees relating to the confirmed booking for the Vehicle in the alternative Listing, in accordance with these Terms. If an Owner canceled a confirmed booking and you, as a Renter, have not received an email or other communication from Side By Side Share, please contact our support team via a support ticket.

Renter and Owner represent and warrant that any person who operates the rental will have passed ID verification and will have the skill and expertise to do so safely and free from negligence. Renter acknowledges that the qualifications of any driver of the rental are solely at the discretion and risk of Renter and that Side By Side Share has not evaluated the skill and expertise of any such driver.

All rentals are forbidden to be used on public roadways. Off road rentals must be used in areas that allow the rental to be operated safely and without damage. Under no circumstances may the rental be operated in racing or contests of any kind. Renter remains responsible for all damage to the rental, missing equipment, down time, and Owner’s administrative expenses connected with damage regardless of whether or not Renter is at fault. Any violation of these terms will result in loss of Protection Plan coverage.

This includes tire blowout, damage to the rental, or property of the facility where the rental is delivered and/or picked up.
For rentals involving the delivery of the Rental by Owner, Renter’s responsibility for the Rental and liability for damages relating to delivered rentals begins when Renter takes possession of the keys and ends when the Rental is returned to the Owner or their designated delivery driver. Any damage that occurs during the delivery of the Rental is the responsibility of the Owner up to the amount of the deductible.
Right of Possession
Vehicle Owners shall always have superior right of possession of the rental over Renter. In the event that the Vehicle Owner’s, officers or employees, in their sole and absolute discretion, determine that the rental is at risk of damage or loss, the Owner shall have the absolute right, but not the obligation, to recover the rental from Renter regardless of the amount of time remaining in the Rental Agreement.

Renter further agrees not to use, or permit use of the rental for unlawful purposes. Renters will hold Side By Side Share harmless from any and all fines and penalties incurred during the rental period caused directly or indirectly by negligence, misuse or carelessness. Renter further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Side By Side Share from and against any and all claims for loss of, or damage to property, or injury to person, including death, resulting from the use and operation of the rented unit. Unless prohibited by law, you release Side By Side Share from any liability for consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with this rental or the reservation of a vehicle.

This indemnity shall continue in effect at all times despite the return of the rental before or after expiration of the contract terms whether by a formal request from Owner, Agency or otherwise. It is agreed and understood that the Vehicle Owner, Agency and Side By Side Share may control the defense of any such claim. Any violation of these terms will result in denial of the Protection Plan.
Damage to UTV OR ATVs OR Recreational Vehicles
As the operator of the Vehicle, you are responsible for leaving the Vehicle in the condition it was in when you picked up the Vehicle. You acknowledge and agree that as a Renter, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals who you invite to, or otherwise provide access to the Vehicle. In the event that an Recreational Vehicle Owner claims otherwise and provides evidence of damage, including but not limited to photographs, you agree to pay the cost of replacing the damaged items. After being notified of a claim and given forty-eight (48) hours to respond, the payment will be charged to and taken from the credit card on file in your Side By Side Share Account. You agree that Side By Side Share has no responsibility for any damages that you cause to an owners’ UTV OR ATV OR Recreational Vehicle or to any person. You also agree that as a renter, your personal insurance will act as primary to any coverage you purchase through Side By Side Share. Side By Side Share also reserves the right to charge the credit card on file in your Side By Side Share Account, or otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any avenues available to Side By Side Share in this regard, including using Security Deposits, in situations in which you have been determined, in Side By Side Share’s sole discretion, to have damaged the Recreational Vehicle, including, but not limited to, in relation to any payment requests made by the Recreational Vehicle’s Owner, and in relation to any payments made by Side By Side Share to Owners. If a vehicle has been damaged during the rental period and the damage occurred as a result of vandalism or there is a suspicion of vandalism, a police report must be filed by the owner of the damaged vehicle before a Protection Plan claim can be processed.
Both Renter and Owner agree to cooperate with and assist Side By Side Share in good faith, and to provide Side By Side Share with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Side By Side Share. If you are a Renter, upon Side By Side Share’s reasonable request, and to the extent you are reasonably able to do so, you agree to participate in mediation or similar resolution process with the Vehicle Owner, at no cost to you, which process will be conducted by Side By Side Share or a third party selected by Side By Side Share with respect to losses for which the Vehicle Owner is requesting payment from Side By Side Share under these terms.

Dispute Resolution
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM COMPANY.
For any dispute with Side By Side Share, you agree to first contact us at admin@sidebysideshare.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally or according to the terms. In the unlikely event that Side By Side Share has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any Side By Side Share claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, "Claims"), by binding arbitration.
Where it is reasonably believed the relief sought is $25,000 or less, and the claim is appropriate to resolve in small claims court, the arbitration will be conducted by FairClaims ( http://www.fairclaims.com/) in accordance with its Arbitration Rules & Procedures effective at the time a claim is made. Where the relief sought is $25,001 or more, the arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in Palm Beach County, Florida under the commercial rules then in effect for the AAA, except as provided herein. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing Side By Side Share from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to protect any of Side By Side Share's proprietary interests.
General
The failure of Side By Side Share to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Side By Side Share. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
