IMPORTANT NOTE ON ARBITRATION: PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW THE ARBITRATION PROVISION IN SECTION 12, WHICH REQUIRES YOU TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES WITH HOPR ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION.

The services provided by HOPR include, among other things, (1) the HOPR transit mobile application (“HOPR Transit App”) and related website, (2) the HOPR S electric scooter, or such other model of electric scooter that HOPR may provide access to from time to time (each a “Vehicle” or collectively, the “Vehicles”), and (3) all other related equipment, personnel, services, applications, websites, and information provided or made available by HOPR (collectively, the “HOPR Services”).

  2. The level of charging power in the Vehicle at the time Rider initiates the rental or operation of the Vehicle is not guaranteed and will vary with each rental use. The rate of loss of charging power during the use of the Vehicle is not guaranteed and will vary based on the Vehicle, road conditions, weather conditions, and other factors.
  3. It is Rider’s responsibility to check the level of charge power in the Vehicle and to ensure that it is adequate before initiating operation of the Vehicle. The distance and/or time that Rider may operate the Vehicle before it loses charging power is never guaranteed. The Vehicle may run out of charging power and cease to operate at any time during Rider’s rental of the Vehicle, including before reaching Rider’s desired destination.

Mobile Device Requirements. Unless otherwise instructed by HOPR in writing, You must use a smartphone or any other device that meets the technical requirements for and is compatible with the HOPR Transit App in order to activate the HOPR Services. Certain functions of the HOPR Transit App require an active network connection. You are responsible for the availability and costs of Your mobile data communication services. You are also responsible for ensuring that Your mobile device has adequate battery capacity. HOPR will not be responsible if You are unable to unlock, use, or end the ride of the Vehicle as a result of lost or interrupted network connection, mobile device malfunction, or depleted battery. You will remain responsible for and HOPR may charge You all costs (including rental fees) incurred until the ride is actually ended in the HOPR Transit App.

 

  1. PAYMENT AND FEES.

 

  1. Fees. Rider may use the Vehicle in accordance with the pricing described in the HOPR Transit App or HOPR website. Pricing is subject to change. In each case, fees and other charges may be subject to applicable taxes and other local government charges, which may be charged and collected by HOPR. HOPR will charge the Rider through credit, or debit card or through another agreed payment method.

 

  1. Referral and Promotional Codes. HOPR may create referral or promotional codes (“Promo Codes”) that may be used for discounts or credits on HOPR Services or other features or benefits provided by HOPR, subject to any additional terms that HOPR establishes. You agree that Promo Codes: (i) must be used for the intended audience and purpose, and in a lawful manner; (ii) may not be duplicated, sold or transferred in any manner, unless expressly permitted by HOPR; (iii) may be disabled by HOPR at any time for any reason without liability to HOPR; (iv) may only be used pursuant to the specific terms that HOPR establishes for such Promo Code; (v) are not valid for cash; (vi) may be subject to quantity or value limits; and (vii) may expire prior to your use. HOPR reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of the referral system or Promo Codes by You or any other user in the event that HOPR determines or believes that the use of the referral system or use or redemption of the Promo Code was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or otherwise in violation of this Agreement or specific terms applicable to such Promo Codes.

 

  1. Maximum Rental Time and Charges. The maximum rental time is 24 hours. Rider agrees that Rider will deactivate the Vehicle rental within 24 hours of renting a Vehicle. Rider may then rent again. Rider agrees that Rider is solely responsible for being aware of the length of any elapsed ride time. The maximum day charge is $100 and is based on a calendar day. After return of the Vehicle, Rider will be charged the accumulated rental charges, or the maximum day charge, whichever is less. Rental time will be calculated from the moment of unlocking the Vehicle through the HOPR Transit App until the Rider receives a confirmation through the HOPR Transit App that the ride has been ended. If You end the ride incorrectly, this may result in the Ride not being terminated. If the ride is not properly ended, the Ride will continue, and the Rider will continue to be charged. If You have technical issues terminating a ride for any reason, You should immediately report this to HOPR through the HOPR Transit App. Failure to report an issue in terminating a ride may result in continued charges. Vehicles not returned (with the ride concluded) within 48 hours will be considered lost or stolen, and Rider may be charged up to the value of the Vehicle plus administrative and processing fees. HOPR may also charge additional service fees for rentals in excess of 24 hours where the Vehicle is not lost or stolen.

 

  1. Valid Payment Method. To register to use the HOPR Services, You must provide HOPR with a valid credit, debit card, or prepaid card number, and expiration date or other valid payment method information. Rider represents and warrants to HOPR that Rider is authorized to use any credit, debit or prepaid card or other payment method information Rider furnishes to HOPR. By providing a payment method, You agree that HOPR is authorized to charge You for your ride and any other fees incurred by Rider under this Agreement, including all applicable governmental and regulatory charges and applicable sales and other taxes. When you provide a payment method, we will attempt to verify the information you entered. We do this by processing an authorization hold, which is a standard practice. We do not charge you in connection with this authorization hold. If Your payment method expires and You do not update your information or cancel your account, You authorize us to continue billing, and You will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. We reserve the right to retry billing all payment method(s) on file after any failed billing attempt. You will remain liable for all such amounts and all costs incurred in connection with the collection of these amounts, including, without limitation, bank overdraft fees, collection agency fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and arbitration or court costs. Rider agrees to immediately inform HOPR of all changes relating to the payment method.

 

  1. Fines. You agree that HOPR may pay all traffic tickets, impound fees, fines and/or charges on Rider’s behalf directly to the appropriate authority or applicable party. If HOPR is required to pay and/or process such fees or associated costs, Rider agrees and acknowledges that HOPR may charge You for the amount HOPR pays plus a reasonable administration charge; HOPR will provide notice of any such costs or fees. In the event HOPR uses a third party collection or administrative agent to resolve any tickets, damages, infringements of law or of this Agreement, fines, or penalties, Rider agrees to pay all costs and collection fees including, but not limited to, administrative and legal costs to such agent upon demand without protest.

 

  1. Disputing a Charge. If Rider disputes any charge on Rider’s payment method, then Rider must contact HOPR within 10 business days of the date of the disputed charge, and provide to HOPR all trip information that is necessary to identify the disputed charge, which includes the date of the trip, and the approximate starting and ending times of the ride associated with the disputed charge.

 

  1. Recurring Payments. If You have elected to make automatic or recurring payments, such payments will continue until You cancel or your account is terminated. You can cancel by following the instructions on the HOPR Transit App. If you cancel, You may use any remaining balance on your account but may not thereafter be able to continue using HOPR Services until you have reauthorized an applicable payment method. HOPR may continue to charge your payment method for any additional fees or charges incurred under this Agreement.

 

  1. Pick Up Fees. If You are unable to return a Vehicle to a valid area, or You deactivate the Vehicle on private property, a locked community, or another unreachable area, and request that the Vehicle be picked up by HOPR, We may charge You a pick-up fee. If any Vehicle accessed under Your account is abandoned without notice, You will be responsible for all trip fees until the Vehicle is recovered and deactivated, plus a service charge to recover the Vehicle. Fees are subject to change at HOPR’s discretion.

 

  1. ADDITIONAL TERMS.

 

  1. Safety Check. Rider must conduct a basic safety inspection of the Vehicle before each use of a Vehicle. This includes inspecting the following: (i) trueness of the wheels; (ii) safe operation of all brakes and lights; (iii) good condition of the frame; (iv) sufficient battery charge power; and (iv) any sign of damage, unusual or excessive wear, or other open and obvious mechanical problem/maintenance need. Rider agrees not to, and must not, ride the Vehicle if there are any noticeable issues, and to immediately notify HOPR of any problems.

Lost or Stolen Vehicle. A Vehicle may be deemed lost or stolen if: (i) the Vehicle is not returned within 24 consecutive hours, (ii) the Vehicle’s GPS unit is disabled, (iii) the Vehicle is parked on unauthorized private property, in a locked area, or in any other non-public space for more than ten minutes after a ride ends, (iv) the Vehicle moves more than thirty feet after a rental has ended and HOPR believes such movement was not caused by another Rider or authorized third party, or (v) other facts and circumstances that reasonably suggest to HOPR that a Vehicle has been lost or stolen. HOPR and You agree that the last Rider of a Vehicle is responsible for a lost or stolen Vehicle unless facts and circumstances suggest otherwise to HOPR. If HOPR deems a Vehicle lost or stolen, HOPR will have the authority to take any and all actions it deems appropriate, including without limitation obtaining restitution and other appropriate compensation and damages and filing a police report with local authorities. Rider agrees the data generated by HOPR’s computer is conclusive evidence of the period of use of a Vehicle by a Rider. Rider agrees to report Vehicle disappearance or theft to HOPR immediately or as soon as possible.

 

  1. Helmets and Safety. HOPR strongly recommends that all Riders wear a Snell, CPSC, ANSI or ASTM approved helmet that has been properly sized, fitted, and fastened according to the manufacturer’s instructions. HOPR and all other Released Persons (defined below) do not represent or warrant the quality or safety characteristics of any helmet, and Rider agrees that none of the Released Persons is liable for any injury suffered by Rider while using any of the HOPR Services, whether or not Rider is wearing a helmet at the time of injury. Rider assumes all risk of not wearing a helmet or other protective gear. Rider may need to take additional safety measures or precautions not specifically addressed in this Agreement.

 

  1. Vehicle Routes. Rider agrees that HOPR does not provide or maintain places to ride Vehicles, and that HOPR does not guarantee that there will always be a safe place to ride a Vehicle. Roads, sidewalks, vehicle lanes, and vehicle routes may become dangerous due to weather, traffic, or other hazards.

 

  1. Limitations on Vehicle Rental. Rider agrees that HOPR is not a common carrier. Alternative means of public and private transportation are available to the general public and to Rider individually, including public buses and rail service, taxis, and pedestrian paths. HOPR provides Vehicles only as a convenience, and such rental availability is intended to be used only by those persons who are able and qualified to operate a Vehicle on their own and who have agreed to all terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

  1. TERMINATION. HOPR may unilaterally terminate Rider’s right to use the HOPR Services, in HOPR’s sole discretion and without any notice or cause, at any time whatsoever. Rider may terminate Rider’s use of the HOPR Services at any time; provided, however, that (i) no refund will be provided by HOPR, (ii) the term of this Agreement continues in accordance with this Agreement, and (iii) Rider may still be charged any applicable additional fees in accordance with this Agreement. This Agreement remains in full force and effect, in accordance with its terms and conditions, after any termination of Rider’s right to use any of the HOPR Services, regardless of how the Agreement is terminated.

  1. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

  1. Limited License.

Such rights are for your personal, noncommercial use only. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by us and our licensors. You are not allowed to copy, modify, distribute, sell or lease any part of the HOPR Services or included software, nor may you reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of the HOPR Services or software, unless laws prohibit these restrictions or you have HOPR’s written permission to do so. You agree not to do anything that places an unreasonably large load on the HOPR Services’ infrastructure, use any robots, spiders, scrapers or other automated means to access the HOPR Services, try to interfere with the proper working of the HOPR Service, or attempt to bypass any of our security measures to access the HOPR Services.

 

  1. Ownership. The HOPR Services are our exclusive property, and Your use of them does not transfer any ownership rights to you. Using the HOPR Services does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in the HOPR Services or the content You access, and except for the limited license granted to You above, all rights therein (including all intellectual property) belong to HOPR or our licensors. You may not use content from the HOPR Services without HOPR’s express prior permission or as otherwise permitted by law. This Agreement does not grant You the right to use any trademarks, branding or logos used in the HOPR Services or otherwise, including in any advertising or publicity or to imply our endorsement in any way.

  1. GENERAL. This Agreement is governed by, and must be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, excluding principles of conflicts of laws. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written approval. We may assign these Terms without your consent to a related or affiliated entity or in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, stock or business, or to a successor by merger. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph is void. No joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and us as a result of these Terms or your use of our Services. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent under the law. Our failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless we acknowledge and agree to it in writing, and it is not a waiver of our right to do so later. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and separable from each other, and no provision will be affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for any reason any other or others of them may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part. This provision will not affect the Severability and Survivability section of the Arbitration Agreement of these Terms. Force majeure events may prevent us from providing the Services. Note that when we say “include” or “including” throughout these Terms, we really mean “including, but not limited to” but do this for ease of reading. Provisions that by their nature are intended to survive the termination of these Terms or your use of the Services will survive. The headings in this Agreement do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. “Or” is not to be exclusive in its meaning. Unless the context otherwise requires, words in the singular number or in the plural number shall each include the singular number or the plural number. All pronouns include the masculine, feminine, and neuter pronoun forms.

 

  1. MUTUAL BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. Before bringing a formal legal case, please first try contacting our customer support. Most disputes can be resolved that way.

 

  1. We each mutually agree to resolve any justiciable disputes between us exclusively through final and binding arbitration instead of filing a lawsuit in court. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) (“FAA”) and will apply to any and all claims arising out of or relating to your access or use of the HOPR Services, any communications, advertising or marketing by or regarding us or the HOPR Services, any products or services sold or distributed through the HOPR Services that You received as a consumer of our HOPR Services, any aspect of your relationship or transactions with us, any of our actual or alleged intellectual property rights, and all other aspects of Your relationship with us, past, present or future, whether arising under federal, state or local statutory and/or common law (collectively, the “Dispute”). We each also expressly agree that this Agreement will be governed by the FAA even in the event You and/or We and/or this Agreement are otherwise exempted from the FAA. Any disputes in this regard must be resolved exclusively by an arbitrator. If, but only if, the arbitrator determines the FAA does not apply, Florida law governing arbitration agreements will apply.

 

  1. If either of us wish to initiate arbitration, the initiating party must notify the other party in writing via certified mail, return receipt requested, or hand delivery within the applicable statute of limitations period. This demand for arbitration must include (1) the name and address of the party seeking arbitration, (2) a statement of the legal and factual basis of the claim and (3) a description of the remedy sought. Any demand for arbitration by You must be delivered to us at CycleHop, LLC, d/b/a HOPR, 350 Lincoln Road, Second Floor, Miami Beach, Florida 33139.

 

  1. Class Action Waiver.  We each mutually agree that by entering into this Agreement to arbitrate, we both waive our right to have any dispute or claim brought, heard, or arbitrated as, or to participate in, a class action, collective action and/or representative action, and an arbitrator will not have any authority to hear or arbitrate any class, collective, or representative action (“Class Action Waiver”). In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the class, collective and/or representative action to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Class Action Waiver that is enforceable must be enforced in arbitration. All disputes with respect to whether this Mutual Arbitration Provision is unenforceable, unconscionable, applicable, valid, void or voidable must be determined exclusively by an arbitrator, and not by any court.

 

  1. Any arbitration will be governed by the then-current Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), or by any other arbitration administration service that You and our officer or legal representative consent to in writing. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required, then it will be conducted in the “metropolitan statistical area” (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) where you are a resident at the time the Dispute is submitted to arbitration. You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; but if applicable arbitration rules or laws require us to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Section 12 to be enforceable, then we will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. The arbitrator or arbitration panel, as the case may be, will apply and be bound by this Section 12 and any additional terms, and will determine any Dispute according to applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned award. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including arbitrability. This arbitration provision will survive termination of this Agreement. You can obtain AAA procedures, rules, and fee information as follows: https://www.adr.org/.

 

  1. Except as provided in the Class Action Waiver, the arbitrator may award all remedies to which a party is entitled under applicable law and which would otherwise be available in a court of law, but will not be empowered to award any remedies that would not have been available in a court of law for the claims presented in arbitration. The arbitrator will apply the state or federal substantive law, or both, as is applicable. With respect to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, such action or proceeding relating may only be instituted in state or federal court in Miami, Florida. Accordingly, we each mutually consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matter. The award issued by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

  1. This Mutual Arbitration Provision is the full and complete agreement relating to the formal resolution of disputes covered by this Mutual Arbitration Provision. This Section 12 can be amended only by our mutual written agreement.

BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND UTILIZING THE SERVICES, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 9 AND HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS IMPORTANT DECISION.

9.1 Agreement to Binding Arbitration between You and HOPR. You acknowledge and agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to: (a) this Agreement or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof; and/or (b) your access to or use of the Services at any time, whether before or after the date you agreed to the Agreement, will be settled by binding arbitration, and not in a court of law, unless otherwise agreed-to by HOPR. You acknowledge and agree that you are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless HOPR agrees otherwise in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. However, you and HOPR each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.

9.2 Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The parties agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in the Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the state of Florida.

9.3 Notice Requirement; Informal Dispute Resolution.  A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The written demand must state the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and the requested relief. A written demand to HOPR shall be sent to the following address: CycleHop, LLC 350 Lincoln Road, 2nd Floor, Miami Beach, FL 33143. After the notice is received, the parties may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled. If the claim or dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration – Consumer Arbitration Rules at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the state of Florida and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

9.4 Location and Procedure. Unless you and HOPR otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in Miami, Florida. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be a binding non-appearance-based arbitration conducted solely on the basis of documents you and HOPR submit to the Arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. The arbitration for non-appearance based arbitrations shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions, and the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

9.5 Arbitrator’s Decision. The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. HOPR will not seek, and hereby waives all rights HOPR may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if HOPR prevails in arbitration.

9.6 Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. Each party shall bear its own cost (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the Arbitrator.

9.7 Severability and Survival. If any portion of this Dispute Resolution section is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from this Agreement; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Dispute Resolution requirements or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Dispute Resolution requirements; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

9.8 Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS SECTION 9 MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AGREED TO IN WRITING BY HOPR.

9.9 Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to, the award of the Arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. You agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This subsection 9.9 shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this section 9, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.

  1. How It Works

To use the Services, you must download the HOPR Application. When ready to use the Services, use the HOPR Application to locate an available bike.

To end your use of the Services, park the bike at “HOPR Pond”or in another permitted parking location and lock the wheel to end your ride. 

All devices shall be parked upright on hard surfaces, unless at a bike rack or other area specifically designated for bicycle parking. Devices shall not be parked in such a manner as to block or obstruct:

  • Pedestrian clear-zone area of the sidewalk (minimum 3 feet unobstructed width)
  • Any fire hydrant, call box, or other emergency facility
  • Bus bench, stop, shelter, or passenger waiting area, except at existing bicycle racks
  • Utility pole or box
  • Disabled parking zones
  • Loading zones
  • Street furniture that requires pedestrian access (e.g. benches)
  • Outdoor dining areas
  • Within 15 feet of curb ramps
  • Within 10 feet of entryways, exits, and driveways
  • Any path of travel necessary for the safe and convenient use of wheel chairs and other mobility devices, including marked paths of travel in parking lots and public rights of way.

 Devices may be parked in designated on-street parking spaces in select cases, provided they do not obstruct any vehicle travel lane, bicycle lane, or impede a 6 foot pedestrian clear zone. Allowable cases of on-street parking include: (1) Blocks with marked preferred parking zones in on-street parking spaces (2) Blocks with no sidewalk (3) Blocks with a narrow sidewalk (less than 5 feet) and unimproved planting/furnishing zone.

5.1 Costs. In order to rent a bike under the Services, you must purchase time in accordance with the following options:

If a rider utilizes the Pay Per Ride plan, and their account balance is insufficient to cover any charges incurred, then the user will be charged a minimum amount of $2.00, regardless of the amount of actual ride time incurred over and above their account balance; provided, however, that any amount charged over the actual ride time spent will be added to your account balance for future usage. For example, if your account had a balance of $1.00 and you incurred $2.00 worth of additional ride time, then your account will be billed $2.00, with $1.00 being deducted to cover the overage and the other $1.00 being credited to your account.
    • 30 day pass: $20.00 per 30 day period. Plan entitles user to unlimited unlocks free of charge. Ride time is charged at 10¢ per minute. 
    • 365 day pass: $60.00 per 365 day period.  Plan entitles user to 30 minutes of ride time per calendar day (“Daily Riding Time”). During each calendar day included in the year for which your pass is valid, you may use your entire allotted Daily Ride Time in one trip or in multiple trips. There will be no rollover credit for any unused Daily Riding Time. If you exceed your allotted Daily Riding Time in any one calendar day, then you will be charged 10¢ per minute. 

 

  • Access Pass: Riders will be charged $5/per month with verifiable income reported upon membership registration to the Operator. Verification of enrollment in a California Department of Social Services assistance program(s) is required. Membership will be pending until verification is confirmed by Customer Service.

BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND UTILIZING THE SERVICES, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 9 AND HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS IMPORTANT DECISION.

9.1 Agreement to Binding Arbitration between You and HOPR. You acknowledge and agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to: (a) this Agreement or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof; and/or (b) your access to or use of the Services at any time, whether before or after the date you agreed to the Agreement, will be settled by binding arbitration, and not in a court of law, unless otherwise agreed-to by HOPR. You acknowledge and agree that you are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless HOPR agrees otherwise in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. However, you and HOPR each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.

9.2 Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The parties agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in the Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the state of Florida. 

9.3 Notice Requirement; Informal Dispute Resolution.  A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The written demand must state the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and the requested relief. A written demand to HOPR shall be sent to the following address: CycleHop, LLC 350 Lincoln Road, 2nd Floor, Miami Beach, FL 33143. After the notice is received, the parties may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled. If the claim or dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration – Consumer Arbitration Rules at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the state of Florida and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

9.4 Location and Procedure. Unless you and HOPR otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in Miami, Florida. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be a binding non-appearance-based arbitration conducted solely on the basis of documents you and HOPR submit to the Arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. The arbitration for non-appearance based arbitrations shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions, and the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties. 

9.5 Arbitrator’s Decision. The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. HOPR will not seek, and hereby waives all rights HOPR may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if HOPR prevails in arbitration.

9.6 Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. Each party shall bear its own cost (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the Arbitrator.

9.7 Severability and Survival. If any portion of this Dispute Resolution section is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from this Agreement; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Dispute Resolution requirements or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Dispute Resolution requirements; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

9.8 Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS SECTION 9 MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AGREED TO IN WRITING BY HOPR.

9.9 Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to, the award of the Arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. You agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This subsection 9.9 shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this section 9, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief. 

9.10 Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or HOPR may bring an individual action in small claims court.

9.11 Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a court having jurisdiction in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this section 9. 

9.12 Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of infringement or misappropriation of HOPR and/or Third Party Providers’ patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets rights shall not be subject to this section 9.

Charges may include other applicable fees, tolls, and/or surcharges including a booking fee, municipal tolls, airport surcharges or processing fees as may be applied by Third Party Providers.

b) Changes – As between you and HOPR, HOPR reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the Services at any time in HOPR’s sole discretion. Further, you acknowledge and agree that Charges applicable in certain geographical areas may increase substantially during times of high demand. HOPR will use reasonable efforts to inform you of Charges that may apply, provided that you will be responsible for Charges incurred under your Account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. HOPR may from time to time provide certain users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained through the use of the Services, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Services or the Charges applied to you.

e) Charges Owed to Third Party Providers – In certain cases, with respect to certain Third Party Providers, Charges you incur will be owed directly to Third Party Providers, and HOPR will collect payment of those charges from you, on the Third Party Provider’s behalf as their limited payment collection agent.  In such cases, payment of the Charges shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Third Party Provider. This payment structure is intended to fully compensate such applicable Third Party Provider for the services or goods obtained in connection with your use of the Services. In all other cases, Charges you incur shall be owed and paid directly to HOPR.

6.2 CREDIT CARDS. You represent and warrant to HOPR that you are authorized to use the Credit Card provided under section 4.1 to register for an Account.

In the event that the Credit Card is

declined for any reason, HOPR may suspend any and/or all of your Rental Plans and your ability to use any Bikes until all of your prior charges are paid in full and you have paid a $10.00 reinstatement fee (unless expressly waived by HOPR). Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by HOPR in its sole discretion.

6.3 THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR.

b) Server in United States – The Processor may provide some or all of its services from systems located within the United States. As such, your Credit Card data (“Card Data”) and personal information may be transferred, processed and stored outside of Canada on servers located in the United States, and may be subject to disclosure as required by applicable laws, such as the provision of information such as your name, Credit Card type, expiration date, and the last four digits of your Credit Card number. Unless otherwise indicated to you by HOPR, this information will only be used to make single payment requests or to register you for an ongoing membership plan that requires automatic payments in the future.
