Nubosh Tech Inc., for and on behalf of its subsidiaries (collectively, “Nubosh”, “we”, or “us”), provides an online rental platform that connects owners of off-highway equipment inclusive of non-motorized equipment that is towed behind a vehicle (the “Equipment”) with locals seeking to rent such Equipment. Nubosh is accessible as an application for mobile devices and an internet website. Nubosh’s mobile applications and internet website are herein collectively referred to as “the Services”. By accessing or using the Services, including by communicating with us or other Nubosh users, you agree to comply with, and be legally bound by, the provisions of these Terms of Service (“Terms”), whether or not you become a registered user of the Services. These Terms govern your access to and use of the Services and constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Nubosh.
These Terms, together with any additional privacy and user policies accessible via the Services (the “Policies”) constitute the “Agreement” between you and Nubosh (each a “Party” and collectively, “the Parties”). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF SERVICE YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO USE THE NUBOSH SERVICES.
Modification. Nubosh reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to modify our Services or to modify these Terms at any time. If we modify these Terms, we will post the modification on our Services. We will also update the “Last Revised” date at the top of these Terms.

If the modified Terms are not acceptable to you, your sole recourse is to stop using and accessing the Services and close your Nubosh Account within 10 days, in which case the previous effective version of these Terms will apply to you, unless you have used the Services during the intervening 10 day period, in which case the new version of these Terms will apply to you.

As a condition of using the Nubosh Services, you consent to Nubosh earning this commission on each transaction.

Limitation of Liability and Waiver. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS YOU HAVE TO SUE OR MAKE CLAIMS AGAINST NUBOSH AND ITS RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS (INCLUDING THIRD PARTY ADMINISTRATORS, INSURANCE PRODUCERS, AND INSURANCE PROVIDERS), OR EMPLOYEES (TOGETHER, THE “NUBOSH PARTIES”) FOR ANY DAMAGES OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, EQUIPMENT NOT BEING AVAILABLE FOR RENT WHEN IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE, ANY MALFUNCTION OF OR DEFICIENCY IN THE EQUIPMENT, ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHER OBLIGATION BY ANY MANUFACTURER OR OTHER THIRD PARTY, ANY PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU OR ANY OTHER PARTY USING THE EQUIPMENT, AND, IN THE CASE OF THE NUBOSH PARTIES, ANY ACTIONS OR INACTION OF THE OWNER.

Liquidated Damages/Contract Penalty. You acknowledge that the actual damages likely to result from you (i) engaging in grey market transactions (i.e., using Nubosh to find a Renter or certain type of Equipment, and then completing a reservation or related transaction partially or wholly independent of Nubosh, in order to circumvent the obligation to pay any Nubosh Fees) or
(ii) registering domains, social media handles, bidding on key words, or otherwise using the
Nubosh domains, trademarks, or taglines are difficult to estimate and would be difficult for Nubosh to prove. You will pay Nubosh $5,000 in Liquidated Damages to compensate Nubosh for any such conduct, and you acknowledge that such amount is a genuine pre-estimate of general damages incurred by Nubosh for a breach of these restrictions under this Agreement.
No Agency. Nubosh does not appoint you or any other user as its employee or legal agent or form any kind of legal partnership or joint venture. You are not authorized to make any commitments on behalf of Nubosh and Nubosh will not make commitments on your behalf, except as contemplated by the Services or expressly stated in the Agreement.
Entire Agreement. The Agreement states the entire understanding between you and Nubosh concerning your access to and use of the Services and supersedes any earlier verbal or written communications between us.
No Delegation of Rights. With the exception of appointing a custodian to manage your Equipment on your behalf, you may not delegate your legal obligations or transfer any of your rights, in whole or in part, to any third party without advance written consent of Nubosh. You will remain responsible for your obligations hereunder in any event.
Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is construed to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will not be affected and will continue in full force and effect.
No Waiver. Any modification or waiver of any term of the Agreement must be agreed to by a Nubosh Officer or Director in writing. Nubosh’s failure to exercise any right under the Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any other right Nubosh may have.
Headings. Headings are for reference purposes only and do not limit the scope or extent of such section. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, if any provision of these Terms are held to be invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, such provision shall be struck out and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
Translations. Where Nubosh has provided you with a translation of the English language version of these Terms or any Policies, in case of any wording discrepancies between the English and any other versions of the Terms and any Policies, the English language version governs.
The following Sections also apply if you book Equipment using the Services:
Your Financial Responsibility Is Primary. With regard to damage, losses, or other liabilities, you acknowledge that, where permissible under applicable law, you are primarily liable for your liabilities under the Agreement. You acknowledge that you are fully responsible for any damage, losses, or other liabilities relating to your activities through the Services. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit your responsibilities or Nubosh’s legal rights in connection with your use of the Services. You acknowledge that Nubosh or the Owner may require and hold a security deposit as part of the reservation of Equipment and that the value of the damage sustained by the Property may be deduced from and up to the full amount of the security deposit. The Owner
retains the right to collect any remaining amounts for the value of the damage upon exhaustion of the full security deposit from the Owner.
Condition of the Property. You understand that third parties own the Equipment offered through the Services. Each Owner is responsible for complying with all legal requirements with respect to the Equipment and maintaining their Equipment in safe condition.
The following Sections also apply if you share your Equipment through the Services:
Information Given at Registration. When you sign up for Nubosh, you will identify any Equipment that you want to list for sharing through the Services. You may only use the Services in connection with Equipment that you own or otherwise have all the necessary rights and permissions to share for compensation.
Listing Only on the Services. Any Equipment you list on the Services must be exclusively listed on the Services. You cannot list any Equipment you intend to share on the Services on any other rental marketplace for the Equipment. Failure to abide by this condition may result in fines, penalties, denial of physical damage claim, removal of the Equipment from the Services, account closure, or other action, in Nubosh’s sole discretion. This does not limit Commercial Hosts’ (as defined below) ability to maintain their own Equipment rental business or prohibit the Equipment from being listed on other services when not on a Nubosh reservation.
Property Availability. Once a booking is made, you must make the Equipment available or deliver the Equipment as expected by the Renter. If you offer the Renter the option to pick up your Equipment at a specified location, you must supply the location of the Equipment accurately to Nubosh and ensure that the Equipment is available at that location at the beginning of the reservation period.
Payment Processing. Where payment processing services are provided by Stripe, you agree to be bound by Stripe’s terms of use, which may be modified from time to time. Nubosh reserves the right to switch payment processing vendors in its discretion.
Taxes. You understand and acknowledge that appropriate governmental agencies, departments, or authorities may take the position that you owe taxes in connection with your use of our Services. Please familiarize yourself with the applicable tax regulations and consult with your personal tax advisor.
Maintenance. You are required to regularly check your Equipment for any defects in its operations or safety. You promise that, at all times, your Equipment will be in good mechanical condition and in full compliance with all applicable inspection and registration requirements. You will only list Equipment with a clean, non-salvaged, non-written off, non-washed, and non-branded title. You agree to respond to any applicable recall or similar safety notices and to complete any recommended action before allowing your Equipment to be booked. In addition, if Nubosh believes that your Equipment does not conform to reasonable standards, Nubosh may notify you and reserves the right to remove or decline listing your Equipment until its concerns have been
resolved. Nubosh may, but does not commit to, undertake efforts to ensure the safety of Equipment booked through the Services.
Incident Reporting. If you believe that a Renter has caused any damage to your Equipment, you are required to report that damage as soon as you become aware of it, and in any event, no more than 24 hours after the scheduled end of reservation, and to provide reasonable cooperation in the investigation of the damage so that responsibility for the damage may be determined.
Other Insurance and Legal Matters. You agree to comply with any and all applicable laws and regulations, including applicable registration and minimum insurance requirements for your Equipment. Further, you also promise to maintain registration information and proof of insurance in your Equipment during every reservation period where such insurance and registration is required. You agree to provide Nubosh with information regarding your policy’s coverage as may be requested. You must inform Nubosh promptly in the event information previously provided changes.
Disclosure of Fees. You must disclose on your listing page any applicable additional fees, costs, and/or taxes you assess in addition to other requirements you may impose, such as a security deposit. You must never surprise Renters with hidden costs or requirements at pick-up. Nubosh reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to remove your listings or suspend your Nubosh Account for failure to be transparent up front with Renters about fees, costs, and requirements in your Property listing page.
Limited Liability of Nubosh. Use of the Nubosh Site is done at the Lessor and Renter’s own risk. Without limiting the foregoing, Nubosh explicitly disclaims any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade. Nubosh makes no warranties regarding the quality of any Listings, including but not limited to, the accuracy, timeliness, truthfulness, completeness or reliability of any Equipment obtained through the Site.
Claims Against Nubosh. Nubosh explicitly disclaims all liability for any act or omission of any Renter or other third party. By using the Site, you agree that any legal remedy or liability sought for actions or omissions of Renters or other third parties to you or your Equipment will be limited to a claim against those particular Renters or other third parties who caused the harm. You hereby agree not to attempt to impose liability on, or seek any legal remedy from, Nubosh with respect to such actions or omissions.
Lease Agreement. Nubosh has provided a Sample Lease Agreement for your use in renting your Equipment to a Renter. This agreement explicitly excludes Nubosh from all liability relating to your contractual relationship with the Renter. You may at your election provide your own agreement to govern your rental relationship with a Renter. Where you elect to provide your own agreement, you acknowledge that Nubosh is not a party to your agreement and any references to Nubosh, including but not limited to those imposing liability, are null and void against Nubosh.
