Rider should CAREFULLY READ and understand all terms and conditions of this Agreement before using a Bike.  Rider’s use of a Bike is deemed an acknowledgement that Rider has read and understands this Agreement, and is deemed an acceptance of this Agreement, as it may be modified from time to time.
1.	Scope, Purpose and Acceptance of Agreement.
1.1	Scope of Agreement.  This document sets forth the Agreement ("Agreement") between (a) you, the Rider (“you”, “your” or "Rider”) and (b) Boulder Bike Sharing, which operates as “Boulder B-cycle” (“BBC”), for the use of bicycles ("Bike" or “Bikes”)) offered by BBC at its stations located in the City of Boulder and Boulder County, regardless of whether you pay a Rental Charge for use of the Bike or are allowed use of a Bike without charge.     As used in this Agreement, Rider refers to the person using the Bike when that person is 18 years of age or older; if the person using the Bike is under the age of 18 (“Minor Rider”), Rider refers to both the Minor Rider and Minor Rider’s parent or legal guardian.
1.2  	Purpose of Agreement.  Rider acknowledges that BBC is a community-supported nonprofit bike-sharing program that provides Boulder residents, workers and visitors with an environmentally-friendly, low cost transportation option.  Adherence to the terms of the Agreement enables BBC to fulfill this mission and provide other related activities, services and benefits (together, the “BBC Program”).
1.3 	Changes to Terms of this Agreement. BBC may modify this Agreement from time to time.  Any modification will be effective upon its posting on any BBC Bike rental station or BBC-affiliated website, which presently include www.boulderbcycle.org, www.boulderbcycle.com, and www.bcycle.com (these, together with future affiliated websites, are referred to as the “BBC Websites”).  
1.4  	Acceptance of Agreement. Rider acknowledges that he or she has carefully read and understands this entire Agreement, and agrees to be bound by this Agreement and all of its terms and conditions.  This Agreement is effective as of Rider’s rental or use of a Bike, and each such use or rental of a Bike by Rider is deemed an acceptance of this Agreement, as it may be modified from time to time. 
2.  	General Terms of Rental and Use of Bike.
2.1 	Rider is Lessee.  BBC agrees to let to Rider, and Rider agrees to rent from BBC, a Bike subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Rider is the sole allowed lessee of the Bike and is responsible for compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
2.2 	Rider is 18 Years or Older or Holds a Valid Driver’s License.  Rider represents and certifies that Rider is (a) at least 18 years old or (b) if a Minor Rider, that Minor Rider is over 16 years old and holds a valid state issued driver’s license.  A Bike used by a Rider that is under 18 years old and does not hold a valid state issued driver’s license will be considered a stolen Bike.
2.3  	Rider is a Competent Bike Operator.  Rider represents and certifies that Rider is physically fit, reasonably competent to ride the Bike, and is familiar with the operation of the Bike.
2.4  	Bike Belongs to BBC.  Rider agrees that the Bike, and any equipment attached thereto, is the exclusive property of BBC.  Rider shall not make any modifications to the Bike.
2.5  	Bike Operating Hours and Bike Availability.  Bikes are available for rent 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with seasonal and weather limitations. There are a limited number of Bikes in the BBC Program and a Bike rental station may not have Bikes available for rental at all times. As well, there may be times when stations are full and returning a Bike requires an extra step or steps. To check the availability of Bikes and empty docks, please visit a BBC Bike rental station or check online at www.boulderbcycle.com.  Bikes may not be reserved in advance.
2.6  	Maximum Rental Time and Charges.  The maximum rental time for a Bike is 24 hours.  Rider agrees to return the Bike to a designated BBC Bike rental station no more than 24 hours after the rental of the Bike began.  Upon timely return of a Bike, Rider may rent a Bike again, subject to availability.  Rider is responsible for ensuring the timely return of the Bike.  Bike rental rates are as follows: Day Tripper (24 hour) and People’s Pedaler (monthly) passes, $0.00 for the first half hour (30 minutes) of use and $3.00 for each half hour thereafter; Republic Rider (annual) pass, $0.00 for the first hour (60 minutes) of use and $3.00 for each half hour thereafter; Casual Cruiser, $3.00 per half hour of use (“Rental Charges”). The maximum day charge per Bike rental is $75.00, calculated on a 24-hour day commencing at the time of rental (“Maximum Day Charge”).  Upon return of the Bike, the Rider will be charged the accumulated Rental Charges, or the accumulated Maximum Day Charge, whichever is less.  If the Bike is not returned to a BBC Bike rental station within 72 hours after the rental began, the Bike will be considered stolen, and the Rider will be charged $1200.00.  Applicable local and state sales taxes are included in Rental Charges. Rider authorizes BBC to charge to Rider’s credit or debit card used to rent a Bike for all fees, use charges, Rental Charges, Maximum Day Charges, taxes, costs of Bike repair, damage, replacement (whether of Bike, Bike lock key, or BBC Membership Card) or any other expenses due or that may become due under this Agreement.
2.7  	Bikes May Not Be Used Outside Boulder County.  Rider agrees to use the Bike only within the City of Boulder or Boulder County, and shall not remove the Bike from Boulder County. Bikes may not be transported between B-cycle systems located in other cities. 
2.8 	Laws Governing Use or Operation of Bike.  Rider agrees to obey all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations pertaining to the use, riding and/or operation of the Bike, including but not limited to City of Boulder ordinances prohibiting riding of bicycles on sidewalks in commercial districts.
2.9 	Rider May Not Operate Bike if Impaired.  Rider agrees to not use, ride or operate a Bike (a) if Rider has consumed, ingested and/or used alcohol or drugs such that Rider’s ability to safely operate the Bike is impaired, or (b) if Rider suffers from any other conditions which may impair his or her ability to safely operate the Bike.
2.10  	Bike is Intended for Limited Use.  Rider agrees to not use a Bike for racing, mountain bike riding, or stunt or trick riding.  Rider agrees to not use a Bike on unpaved roads, in or through water, or in any location that is prohibited, illegal or a nuisance to others.  Rider agrees to not use a Bike for hire or reward.
2.11    Use of Carrier and Basket.  Rider agrees to not place items exceeding 20 total pounds in the front carrier/basket of the Bike; Rider acknowledges such items may create an unsafe condition and affect Rider's balance and steering control.  Rider acknowledges the front carrier/basket of the Bike is intended to carry light, low profile goods only.  Rider shall not attempt to carry additional people or animals in the front carrier/basket or anywhere on the Bike.
2.12  	Reporting Accident, Lost Bikes and Membership Cards.  Rider agrees to immediately report to BBC and the Boulder Police Department  any accident involving a Bike.  Rider agrees to promptly report a lost or stolen BBC Membership Card to BBC.  Rider is responsible and liable for any misuse, consequences, claims, demands, causes of action, losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs and expenses, penalties, attorney's fees, judgments, suits or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever related to an accident involving a Bike, a stolen or lost Bike or a stolen or lost BBC Membership Card.
2.13  	Damage to or Loss of Bike.  Rider shall return the Bike to BBC in the same condition received upon rental, ordinary wear and tear excepted.  Rider shall ensure the Bike is always locked and secured when unattended.  Bikes may be equipped with locks; however, BBC does warrant that such locks function properly, or at all.  BBC shall not be responsible for any lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged Bike, regardless of whether locks are used to secure the Bike.  Rider agrees to pay for any damage, including replacement parts and repair charges, or damage to, destruction or loss of the Bike.  Rider shall pay for any damage to or loss of a Bike even if the damage was caused by a third party.  All repairs needed as a result of any such loss, destruction or damage, will be charged to Rider at the normal, customary labor rates.  In the event the Bike is lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged beyond repair, regardless of fault or cause, Rider agrees to pay BBC the full replacement value of the Bike. Bikes that are un-returned after 72 hours are deemed lost or stolen.
2.14 	Use of BBC Websites.  By using any BBC Website, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions posted on such BBC Websites, and any applicable laws and regulations regarding use of such BBC Websites. 
3. 	Release of Claims, Assumption of Risks, and Indemnity.
3.1  	Release of Claims.  In consideration for BBC allowing use or operation of its Bike, and other benefits of the BBC Program, Rider forever releases and discharges BBC, B-cycle, LLC, the City of Boulder, Boulder County, all BBC Sponsors (as identified on a BBC Bike rental station, Membership Card, BBC Website or advertising on a Bike) as well as owners of property upon or near which BBC Bike rental stations are located ("Released Parties") from any and all claims, liability, causes of action, damages, wrongful death, injury to self or others, which arise out of, result from or relate to this Agreement; the rental, maintenance, design, use or operation of a Bike, the maintenance, design, use or operation of a BBC Bike rental station; the BBC Program; or any BBC Website, including any and all claims, liability, causes of action or damages related to the sole or partial negligence of Released Parties or the negligence of others. If the person using the Bike is a Minor Rider, then Minor Rider’s parent or legal guardian (a) certifies that he or she is the Minor Rider’s parent or legal guardian, and (b) acknowledges that (i) he or she is entering into this Agreement, including this release, on behalf of the Minor Rider, and (ii) the Minor Rider shall be bound by this Agreement. 
3.2 	Indemnity and Hold Harmless.  Rider agrees to indemnify, release and hold harmless Released Parties from all liability for any such property loss or damage, personal injury or loss of life, whether caused by the sole or partial negligence of BBC or the negligence of others, whether based upon breach of contract, breach of warranty, active or passive negligence or any other legal theory, in consideration for using or operating the Bike.
3.3 	Inherently Dangerous Activity.  Rider acknowledges that use or operation of a Bike may be dangerous and may test Rider’s personal and mental limits and carries with it the potential for death, serious injury or property loss. The risks include, but are not limited to, those caused by terrain, road conditions, facilities, temperature, weather, mental and physical condition of Rider, equipment, vehicular traffic, other bicycles, actions of other people, and improper hydration, nutrition, training or preparation.  Rider acknowledges that the description of risks and inherent dangers is not complete.  RECOGNIZING THESE RISKS AND DANGERS, RIDER VOLUNTARY CHOOSES TO USE A BIKE AND EXPRESSLY ASSUMES ALL DANGERS AND RISKS RELATED TO, RESULTING FROM, OR ARISING OUT OF USE OF A BIKE, WHETHER OR NOT DESCRIBED ABOVE, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, INHERENT OR OTHERWISE.
3.4 	Use of Helmet.  Rider acknowledges that BBC RECOMMENDS THAT RIDER WEAR A PROTECTIVE HELMET.   Rider understands that helmets may reduce or mitigate the severity of head injuries to Rider but that a helmet is not a guarantee of safety, and that no helmet can protect Rider against all foreseeable impacts to the head.  Rider recognizes that helmets have limited shock absorption capability and that serious injury or death can result from both low and high-energy impacts, even when a helmet is worn.  Rider understands that a helmet does not guard against injury to the neck, spine or any other part of the body, and bicycling and other related activities can expose Rider to forces that exceed the limits of protection provided by a helmet.  These, too, are INHERENT RISKS OF USING A BIKE.  If using a Bike within the City of Boulder or Boulder County, Rider may separately rent a protective helmet, for a nominal charge, at Full Cycle, 1795 Pearl Street, Boulder, Colorado 80302, (303) 440-1002, or University Bicycles, 839 Pearl Street, Boulder, Colorado 80302, (303) 444-4196.  BBC does not warrant the helmets rented by these businesses.  Rider acknowledges that Rider’s use of a Bike without a protective helmet is at his or her own risk and peril.
3.5  	No Emergency or Medical Assistance.   Rider acknowledges that BBC does not provide any medical services or assistance in the event Rider is injured while using a Bike.  Rider is responsible for obtaining such services or assistance. 
4. 	Miscellaneous Provisions.
4.1    	This agreement is to be construed under, and any dispute arising from or related to the Agreement or the BBC Program shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Colorado, except such laws relating to conflicts of law.
4.2    	If any provision of this agreement is found to be unenforceable, all other provisions will be given full force and effect.
4.3    	Section captions are for ease of reading and are not intended to change or modify the terms of the Agreement.  
4.4    	Rider acknowledges that while using a Bike or participating in a BBC Program, Rider may be photographed.  Rider agrees to allow any such photo, video or film likeness to be used for any legitimate purpose by BBC, or its sponsors.
4.5  	If Rider violates any term of this Agreement, or if any representation or certification of Rider is false, then BBC may, in its sole discretion and without waiving any other rights under this Agreement, terminate Rider’s right to participate in any BBC Program, including prohibiting future use of a Bike by Rider.
