Rental Participant Agreement
Effective Date: January 28, 2025
This Rental Participant Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legally binding contract between you (“Participant”) and ThrillFleet, LLC (“ThrillFleet”). It applies to every renter, operator, passenger, observer, guest, parent or legal guardian signing on behalf of a minor, and any other person participating in activities involving a ThrillFleet vehicle. By signing electronically, checking the required acknowledgment box, operating, riding in, entering, or otherwise participating in any activity involving a ThrillFleet vehicle, you agree to be bound by this Agreement regardless of whether you paid for the rental.
To the extent applicable, participants agree to be bound by relevant provisions of ThrillFleet’s Terms of Service, including dispute resolution, arbitration, and limitation of liability provisions.
- VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK
1.1 Voluntary Engagement in High-Risk Activities
By accessing or using any vehicle made available through ThrillFleet, you affirm that your participation is entirely voluntary. You understand that off-road vehicles, dirt bikes, motorcycles, and similar equipment involve inherent risks, including collision, rollover, loss of control, mechanical malfunction, drowning, environmental hazards, and other dangers that may result in serious injury or death. Participants understand that rides may occur on dirt roads, gravel roads, forest roads, ranch roads, or other unpaved terrain that may contain ruts, loose gravel, mud, steep shoulders, washouts, water crossings, wildlife, falling debris, dust, or uneven surfaces that may create risk of loss of control, collision, rollover, injury, or death.
1.2 Awareness and Acceptance of Risk
You voluntarily and knowingly assume all risks associated with your participation, whether known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, inherent or arising from the negligence of others. These risks include, without limitation, vehicle malfunction, equipment failure, mechanical defects, tire failure, terrain hazards, weather conditions, wildlife, other riders, operator error, rescue delays, remote locations, emergency response delays, and the actions or omissions of ThrillFleet, its employees, contractors, or other participants. You expressly accept these risks and voluntarily choose to participate despite them.
1.3 Acceptance of Financial Responsibility
You acknowledge that participation in off-road vehicle activities may result in damage to the vehicle, equipment, property, or third parties. You accept full financial responsibility for all amounts you become obligated to pay under the Rental Agreement, Terms of Service, or applicable law, including amounts exceeding any Security Deposit.
- PHYSICAL CONDITION, ELIGIBILITY, AND OPERATOR COMPETENCE
2.1 Eligibility and Certification
By participating in any rental activity through ThrillFleet, you represent that you are at least twenty-five years of age, possess a valid government-issued driver’s license, and, where required by law, hold any applicable boating or operating certification. You affirm that you meet all eligibility requirements imposed by ThrillFleet, the host, and Texas law.
2.2 Physical and Mental Fitness
You represent and warrant that you possess the physical ability, mental capacity, judgment, experience, and skill necessary to safely participate in the activity you have chosen. You accept sole responsibility for determining whether your physical condition, experience level, medications, fatigue, pregnancy, or any other circumstance makes participation unsafe.
2.3 Prohibition on Impairment
You shall not operate or ride in the vehicle while impaired by alcohol, illegal drugs, prescription medication, fatigue, illness, distraction, emotional distress, or any condition that reasonably reduces your ability to safely participate. You are solely responsible for determining whether you are fit to participate at all times.
2.4 Safety Gear Requirements
You agree to use, and require all passengers to use, all safety gear mandated by law and recommended by the ThrillFleet, including helmets, flotation devices, protective eyewear, and any specialized equipment appropriate to the activity. Failure to use proper safety equipment increases inherent risks and does not diminish the enforceability of this Waiver. Passengers agree to remain seated with all restraints fastened at all times, keep hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the vehicle during operation, use designated grab handles where applicable, and immediately follow all operator or guide instructions.
- RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
3.1 General Release of Claims
To the fullest extent permitted by Texas law, you hereby release and discharge ThrillFleet, LLC, its owners, officers, employees, agents, contractors, affiliates, platform partners, and individual host providing the vehicle from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, losses, injuries, or liabilities of any kind arising out of or connected with your participation, operation, use, or presence around any vehicle accessed through ThrillFleet platform.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY TEXAS LAW, YOU EXPRESSLY RELEASE, WAIVE, AND DISCHARGE THRILLFLEET FROM ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF THRILLFLEET OR ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, OR REPRESENTATIVES. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO RELEASE LIABILITY WHERE SUCH RELEASE IS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
3.4 No Reliance on Representations
You acknowledge that you have independently inspected, or voluntarily declined to inspect, the vehicle before use. You are not relying upon any statement, advertisement, photograph, description, recommendation, inspection, repair, demonstration, representation, or warranty made by ThrillFleet when deciding to participate.
3.5 Inspection and Acceptance of Vehicle
Before operating or riding in the vehicle, you acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to inspect the vehicle and either (a) determined that it is acceptable for your intended use or (b) voluntarily declined to perform such inspection.

- NO INSURANCE OR WARRANTY PROVISIONS
5.1 No Insurance Provided by ThrillFleet
ThrillFleet does not provide insurance protecting Participants against bodily injury, death, medical expenses, property damage, vehicle damage, theft, collision, liability, or any other loss. Participants are solely responsible for determining whether to obtain any insurance they deem appropriate. Any Security Deposit is not insurance, does not limit a Participant’s liability, and does not obligate ThrillFleet to repair, replace, or compensate for any loss.
5.2 Insurance Limitations
You acknowledge that ThrillFleet makes no representation regarding the existence, scope, availability, applicability, or adequacy of any insurance that may relate to the vehicle, the rental, or your participation.

5.3 No Warranties or Guarantees
ThrillFleet makes no warranty, express or implied, regarding the condition, maintenance, safety, performance, or suitability of any vehicle or equipment. ThrillFleet does not warrant that vehicles are free from defects, hazards, or malfunctions. Your decision to operate the vehicle is made voluntarily and at your own risk, without reliance on any statement or assurance from ThrillFleet or the host.
5.4 Condition and Safety Expectations
You accept that vehicles may be subject to rough terrain, extreme weather, mechanical stress, or environmental conditions that can create unpredictable risks. ThrillFleet does not guarantee any level of safety, performance, or reliability. You assume all risks associated with operating equipment that may be affected by mechanical wear, environmental exposure, prior usage, or inherent equipment limitations. Participants understand that weather, mud, dust, loose terrain, darkness, wildlife, and environmental conditions may rapidly change and may reduce traction, visibility, stability, or vehicle control without warning.
5.5 Security Deposit Not Insurance
You acknowledge that any Security Deposit is not insurance, does not limit your financial responsibility, and does not represent the maximum amount you may owe for damage, loss, theft, recovery, cleanup, administrative expenses, legal costs, or any other obligation arising from your rental or participation.
- DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS AND INCIDENT REPORTING
6.1 Pre-Ride and Post-Ride Documentation
You agree to participate in the documentation process required by ThrillFleet and the host, which includes completing photo or video recordings of the vehicle before and after each rental. This documentation must accurately reflect the condition of the vehicle at the time of pickup and return. You understand that failure to complete proper documentation may limit your ability to dispute or appeal any claim related to damage or loss.
6.2 Immediate Reporting Requirement
You shall immediately notify ThrillFleet of any accident, rollover, collision, mechanical malfunction, injury, property damage, citation, law enforcement contact, vehicle recovery, theft, fire, water intrusion, submersion, or any other incident involving the vehicle.

6.3 Cooperation

6.4 Medical Emergencies

7.5 Vehicle Condition Acknowledgment

8.4 Informal Resolution Requirement
Before initiating arbitration, you agree to provide written notice to ThrillFleet describing the nature of the dispute and allowing ThrillFleet thirty days to attempt informal resolution. If the matter cannot be resolved within this period, either party may proceed to arbitration.
8.5 Injunctive Relief Exception
ThrillFleet may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for claims involving misuse of the platform, breach of confidentiality, violation of intellectual property rights, or conduct that threatens the safety or integrity of the ThrillFleet marketplace.
