RhodeRides Rental Waiver, Release of Liability, and Assumption of Risk Agreement

RhodeRides is a technology marketplace operated by Leeshore Holdings, Inc. that connects independent gear owners ("Outfitters") with individuals seeking to rent watersports equipment ("Renters"). RhodeRides is not a rental company, does not own any equipment listed on the platform, and does not employ Outfitters. All rental transactions are independent agreements between Renters and Outfitters. RhodeRides acts solely as a neutral technology intermediary.

By booking through RhodeRides you voluntarily acknowledge and accept that:

a) Watersports activities including but not limited to surfing, paddleboarding, kitesurfing, wing foiling, and kayaking carry inherent risks of serious bodily injury, permanent disability, and death.

b) These risks exist regardless of the condition of the equipment, the skill level of the participant, weather conditions, water conditions, and the presence or absence of other people in the area.

c) You are voluntarily participating in these activities with full knowledge of the risks involved.

d) You have the appropriate skill, experience, and physical fitness required to safely operate the rented equipment.

e) You have inspected the equipment at the time of pickup and confirmed it is in acceptable condition for your intended use. Failure to inspect the equipment before use constitutes acceptance of its condition.

By accepting rental equipment from an Outfitter you agree that:

a) You take full legal custody and responsibility for the equipment from the time of pickup until the time of return.

b) You are responsible for any and all damage to the equipment that occurs during your rental period regardless of cause, except as provided in Section 7 (Outfitter Defects).

c) You are responsible for returning the equipment in the same condition as received, subject to normal wear and tear.

d) You agree to immediately report any damage, loss, or theft of the equipment to the Outfitter through the RhodeRides platform.

f) You agree to pay any damage deposit required by the Outfitter as disclosed on the listing prior to booking.

You agree that:

a) The rental agreement is solely between you and the Outfitter. You may not sublet, loan, share, or transfer use of the rented equipment to any third party under any circumstances.

b) If you allow any third party to use the rented equipment you remain fully liable for:

• Any damage to the equipment caused by the third party

a) If you injure a third party while using rented equipment you are solely liable for any resulting claims, damages, medical costs, legal fees, or judgments.

b) If rented equipment fails or breaks during normal use and causes injury to a third party the liability between you and the Outfitter will be determined based on whether the failure resulted from equipment defect (Outfitter liability) or misuse (Renter liability). RhodeRides bears no liability in either case.

c) If a third party interferes with, damages, or steals the rented equipment while in your custody you remain responsible for that equipment and must seek recourse directly against the third party. RhodeRides is not responsible for third party interference with rented equipment.
