Take Zoomin eBikes Kick-The-Car commuter challenge

Zoomin ebikes’ kick-the-car commute challenge

Thank you for exploring the possibilities of electric bikes and finding out how these bikes can benefit your lifestyle and help you reduce your car use. To make sure you’re aware of your responsibilities when loaning a Zoomin ebike, we need you to carefully read this document prior to picking up your ebike.

PICK UP AND RETURN PROCESS

• You will need to show your NZ drivers license or passport (NZ or overseas) at pick-up.
• Zoomin staff have the option to refuse the loan if we have serious concerns about your safety and skill level.

USE OF EBIKE AND ACCESSORIES

• Please note we are lending this bike to you in good faith. We recognise that cycling can be dangerous and trust you to take all necessary care to look after yourself and the bike.
• If anything happens to the bike or accessories, you will be liable to pay an insurance excess.
• Zoomin does not provide roadside assistance in the event of an issue with the bike.
• Our ebikes are for on road urban use in Lower Hutt/Wellington and can’t be used off-road.
• Our insurance covers the use of the bicycle so it will cover your partner or other people using the bike. Anyone riding the bike must be 18+ years.
• All bikes are fitted with GPS trackers. Tracking data will be used for reporting purposes.
• Riders must wear helmets at all times (helmets are available for loan).

SECURING EBIKES WHEN NOT IN USE

• Our ebikes are insured against theft, but only if they are secured properly. Please make sure you know how to lock your bike, and when this is necessary, as you might be liable for the cost of the bike otherwise.
• We expect you to secure your bicycle and other accessories in a manner that would mitigate certain reducible risks like theft.
• Ebikes must always be securely locked with an approved lock (i.e. the lock provided) through the frame to an immovable object. The only exceptions are (1) when the ebike is kept inside your house, garage, or outbuilding, and all windows and doors are securely locked and thus fully enclosed; and (2) when you are at a coffee shop/restaurant/park and you can prove that your bicycle was never more than 5 metres away from you and in your direct line of sight.
• Ebikes kept on common property, even behind a locked gate (e.g. apartment complexes) must still be locked to an immovable object as described above.

IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, DAMAGE OR LOSS

• You must notify Emma (022 160 4180) of any accidents, damage or loss as soon as possible.
• If the bike gets stolen, contact police and report the theft. Obtain a police crime report stating details of the bike (lost property reports will not be accepted). You must provide us the key and the remains of the lock (if relevant).
• If the bike gets damaged, take detailed photos of the bike, the damage, and the location of the bike when it got damaged. Email us a detailed description of what occurred.

DEPOSIT AND REFUND POLICY

• If you cancel your booking before 12pm on the Wednesday prior to your pick up date, your rental fee will be refunded in full. If you cancel later, or do not show up for your booking, your fee will be kept by Zoomin to cover our administrative time in arranging the loan.
• If the loan is refused due to the Zoomin team having serious concerns about your safety when using the bike, the security deposit will be refunded within ten working days. Your bank may also take time to process the refund at their end.
• Zoomin reserves the right to make a final decision about the amount of deposit returned in any circumstances.

PURCHASE OFFER

• If you purchase a Zoomin Z1 ebike from Emma within 1 month of your rental period finishing, you’ll get a full credit of your rental fee towards your purchase, bringing the purchase price down to just $2,555. Plus, you’ll get a free foldable combination bike lock with frame mounted holster, valued at $69.

I agree to comply with all road rules and regulations, and all lawful instructions and directions of Zoomin staff during the bike loan period.

• I acknowledge that cycling can be a dangerous activity. I recognise that there are risks and hazards specifically associated with this activity, including the possibility of injury or death and loss or damage both to myself and my possessions. I therefore release Zoomin of any liability resulting from injury, death, loss or damage during the loan period.
• I understand and acknowledge the dangers associated with the consumption of alcohol or any mind-altering substance before or during any cycling activity. I accept full responsibility for injury, loss or damage arising from consumption of alcohol or any mind-altering substance.

For myself, my executors, administrators, heirs, next-of-kin, successors and assigns, I hereby:

1. Waive and release all claims I may have against Zoomin or anyone or more of their executors, administrators, heirs, next-of-kin, successors and assigns including any or all claims for injury,  loss or damages caused by negligence of any of the above arising out of the bike loan together with any costs including legal fees that may be incurred as a result of such claim whether valid or not; and
2. Indemnify and hold harmless the releasees and each of them against any such claim that I or any one or more of my executors, administrators, heirs, next-of-kin, successors and assigns may have or assert and against any costs including legal fees with respect thereof.
3. Acknowledge that I have read this assumption of risk. I fully understand its terms and that I have given up substantial rights by agreeing to it. I accept this document freely and voluntarily without any inducement made to me and intend my signature to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law.
