To use rental services through the Platform, you may be required to provide a valid credit card, debit card, or other accepted payment method. You must provide accurate and complete billing information and keep it up to date. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to use any payment method you provide. You authorize us to charge your payment method for all fees incurred, including applicable taxes and government charges.
If you dispute any charge, you must contact us within 10 business days from the end of the month in which the disputed charge occurred, providing all information necessary to identify the charge, including the date and approximate start and end times of the associated rental. You agree to notify us immediately of any changes to your payment method.

c. Failed Payments & Retry
If your payment method expires or is insufficient to cover outstanding fees and you do not update your information, you authorize us to continue billing and you remain responsible for all uncollected amounts. We reserve the right to retry billing on payment methods on file after any failed attempt. You will remain liable for all outstanding amounts and any reasonable costs of collection.

Violation of these prohibitions may result in immediate account suspension or termination and, where warranted, legal action. We will fully cooperate with law enforcement authorities or valid legal process requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone engaging in prohibited conduct.
8. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
a. Initial Dispute Resolution
Our Platform contains means to receive support and address any concerns you may have regarding your rental or use of our services. The parties shall use their best efforts through this support process to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and engage in good faith negotiations, which shall be a condition to either party initiating arbitration or a lawsuit.
b. Binding Arbitration
If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution through the support process, either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve the claim. All disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. in accordance with its National Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator, and not any court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or part of these Terms are void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, binding on the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
To the extent the filing fee for arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, we will pay the additional cost. The parties understand that, absent this provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
c. Location
The arbitration will take place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, or a mutually agreed upon location.
d. Class Action Waiver
The parties agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action. The parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis.
YOU AND LAKE DRIVE LOOP AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver is void or unenforceable for any reason, or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
e. Small Claims and Intellectual Property
Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an action in provincial court to protect intellectual property rights, or seek relief in a small claims court for disputes within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
f. Right to Opt Out
You have the right to opt out of these arbitration provisions by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to Lake Drive Loop Inc. at the address in Section 24 within 30 days of your first use of the Platform. If you opt out, Lake Drive Loop is also not bound by these provisions.
g. Changes to This Section
We will provide prior written notice of any changes to this section. Changes will become effective only after prior written notice and will apply prospectively only to claims arising after the notice period.
9. User Submissions
Where we have specifically invited or requested submissions or comments, we encourage you to submit content you have created in connection with such requests (“User Submissions”). User Submissions remain your intellectual property. By submitting content, you expressly grant Lake Drive Loop a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide, fully sub- licensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, transmit, perform, and display such content, and your name, voice, and likeness as contained in the submission, in whole or in part, in any form or media, whether now known or hereafter discovered, for any purpose including promotion, advertising, marketing, and publicity. Any such User Submissions are deemed non-confidential and we are under no obligation to maintain the confidentiality of any information they contain.
10. Inappropriate Submissions and Material
We do not seek User Submissions that result from any activity that may create a risk of harm, loss, injury, or death to any person; create a risk of loss or damage to property; or constitute a crime or tort. You agree that in connection with any submission you will not inflict emotional distress on others, humiliate others, assault or threaten others, enter private property without permission, impersonate another person, or otherwise engage in activity that may result in injury, death, property damage, or liability of any kind.
You are prohibited from using the Platform to post or transmit any unlawful, infringing, threatening, defamatory, libelous, obscene, or profane material, or any material that infringes third-party intellectual property. Sending or posting unsolicited advertisements or spam through the Platform is expressly prohibited.
If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated or are likely to violate these prohibitions, we may take any action we deem necessary, including immediately banning you from the Platform and removing related materials without notice.
11. Access and Interference
You agree that you will not use any robot, spider, scraper, or other automated means to access the Platform without our express written permission. You also agree not to take any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; interfere with or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Platform; or bypass any measures we use to prevent or restrict access.
12. Right to Remove Content
Except as described in our Privacy Policy, we will not monitor, edit, or disclose the contents of user communications or content posted to the Platform unless required in the course of normal maintenance, or unless required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: comply with legal process; protect and defend the rights or property of Lake Drive Loop or its users; or act in an emergency to protect personal safety.
Users remain solely responsible for the content of their submissions. We have no obligation to pre-screen any content. However, we have the right, at our sole discretion, to edit, refuse to post, or remove any material from the Platform at any time without notice. We reserve the right to deny access to the Platform to any user who fails to comply with these Terms.
13. User Published Content
User published content and User Submissions do not represent the views of Lake Drive Loop or any individual associated with us, and we do not control this content. You may not represent or suggest, directly or indirectly, that Lake Drive Loop endorses any user-published content. We do not vouch for the accuracy or credibility of any user content and do not take responsibility for any actions you may take as a result of reviewing it.
Through your use of the Platform, you may be exposed to content that you find offensive, objectionable, harmful, or inaccurate. By using the Platform, you assume all associated risks.
14. Self-Guided Tours, GPS Navigation & Trail Access
Our Platform may provide GPS navigation routes, suggested tour paths, points of interest, and safety recommendations. These routes are provided for convenience only. Users remain fully responsible for obeying all applicable traffic laws, assessing road and trail conditions, choosing safe riding routes, and responding to changing weather conditions. Route conditions may change without notice. We do not guarantee route safety, accuracy, or accessibility.
Location services depend on third-party technologies. We are not responsible for inaccurate GPS positioning, routing interruptions, mapping errors, signal loss, road closures, or trail access changes.
Users are responsible for confirming that routes selected during rentals comply with applicable municipal bylaws and permitted e-bike access rules. Trail permissions and road classifications may change without notice. We do not guarantee that suggested routes remain authorized for e- bike travel at all times.
15. Third Party Links and Services
From time to time, the Platform may contain links to, or integrate with, websites and services that are not owned, operated, or controlled by Lake Drive Loop or its affiliates. All such links and integrations are provided solely as a convenience. We are not responsible for any content, materials, or information located on or accessible from any third-party website or service. Neither we nor our affiliates endorse, guarantee, or make any representations regarding any third-party websites or services, or the results you may obtain from using them. If you access any third-party websites or services linked to or integrated with the Platform, you do so entirely at your own risk.
In some cases we may partner with another entity to co-promote their services or engage a third party to provide features or technology within the Platform. In these cases you may be transacting directly with that party or subject to their terms. When there is a conflict between these Terms and a partner’s terms with respect to any dispute relating to the Platform, these Terms will prevail.
16. Termination
You or we may suspend or terminate your right to use the Platform at any time, for any reason or for no reason. We may block your access to the Platform where: (a) you breach these Terms; (b) we are unable to verify or authenticate information you have provided; or (c) we believe your actions may cause financial loss or legal liability for you, other users, or us.
Termination does not limit any other rights or remedies available to us. All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will do so, including Sections 4, 9, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21.
