Jurisdiction: Texas

This Host Agreement Addendum supplements the ThrillFleet Terms of Service and applies to all individuals or entities who choose to list recreational vehicles on the ThrillFleet platform. By listing any vehicle, property, or equipment, the Host acknowledges that they are entering into a legally binding agreement and that all hosting activities remain subject to this Addendum, the Terms of Service, the Waiver of Liability, the Safety and Requirements Policy, and all other incorporated documents. This Addendum defines the responsibilities, risk allocations, and operational requirements associated with hosting through ThrillFleet.

1. PLATFORM ROLE AND DISCLAIMER

1.1 Marketplace Function

ThrillFleet operates solely as a neutral online marketplace that facilitates connections between Hosts and Renters. ThrillFleet does not own, manage, control, operate, inspect, repair, or maintain any vehicle or property listed by a Host. Hosts retain full responsibility for the safety, legality, condition, maintenance, and operational suitability of all equipment they choose to list.

1.2 Host Autonomy and Responsibility

Hosts acknowledge that they act independently and not as employees, contractors, agents, or representatives of ThrillFleet. All rental transactions arise directly between the Host and the Renter. ThrillFleet bears no liability for Host conduct, vehicle defects, operational hazards, or any harm resulting from the Host’s actions or omissions.

1.3 No Warranty or Guarantee by ThrillFleet

ThrillFleet does not guarantee bookings, earnings, renter behavior, or successful documentation of damages. Hosts are solely responsible for evaluating the risks associated with listing vehicles, approving renters, and coordinating the rental experience.

• HOST RESPONSIBILITIES

2.1 Vehicle Condition and Safety Obligations

The Host agrees to maintain every listed vehicle in a safe, legal, and fully operational condition at all times. This includes ensuring compliance with registration requirements, safety equipment standards, and any state or federal laws applicable to the specific vehicle type. The Host affirms that all vehicles will be free from known defects and suitable for the use described in the listing.

2.2 Pre-Rental and Post-Rental Inspections

The Host shall conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle before and after each rental period. This inspection must verify cleanliness, operational condition, and the absence of visible damage or hazardous conditions. Host agrees to document the vehicle’s condition through timestamped photos or videos capturing all sides of the exterior, interior areas, and any relevant equipment.

2.3 Verification of Renter Eligibility

The Host is responsible for confirming that each renter is at least twenty-five years of age, possesses a valid driver’s license, and meets any additional requirements imposed by law or the specific vehicle type, including boating certifications where applicable. The Host must refuse the rental if the renter appears impaired, unfit, or otherwise incapable of operating the vehicle safely.

2.4 Accuracy of Listing Information

The Host agrees to provide complete, accurate, and truthful information in their listing, including vehicle descriptions, pricing, photos, location, availability, and usage limitations. The Host acknowledges that misrepresentation or omission may lead to account suspension or removal.

2.5 Documentation Requirements

The Host shall upload both pre-rental and post-rental documentation through the Platform to establish the official record of the vehicle’s condition. The Host understands that incomplete, inaccurate, or missing documentation may limit the Host’s ability to recover repair costs from the renter’s deposit or to file a valid damage claim.

• NO INSURANCE COVERAGE

3.1 No Insurance Provided by ThrillFleet

The Host acknowledges that ThrillFleet does not provide any form of insurance coverage for vehicles, property, personal liability, injuries, or damages arising from hosting activity. ThrillFleet does not insure Hosts, Renters, passengers, third parties, or any equipment used or supplied in connection with a rental.

3.2 Host Responsibility for Insurance Decisions

The Host is solely responsible for determining, obtaining, and maintaining any insurance policies they deem appropriate, including liability, collision, comprehensive, property, and commercial coverage. ThrillFleet does not mandate that Hosts carry insurance and does not review, verify, or guarantee the adequacy of any coverage obtained by a Host.

3.3 No Liability for Insurance Gaps

The Host agrees that ThrillFleet bears no responsibility for financial losses resulting from a Host’s failure to maintain insurance, inadequate insurance coverage, policy exclusions, claim denials, or lapses in protection. The Host releases ThrillFleet from any claim arising from insurance-related disputes or lack of coverage.

• DAMAGE REPORTING AND DEPOSITS

4.1 Mandatory Damage Reporting Timeline

The Host must report any damage through the Platform by using the “Make Damage Claim” feature within twenty-four hours after the rental window ends. Submission through this feature establishes the official timestamp of the claim. Claims submitted outside of this timeframe are considered untimely and may forfeit eligibility for deposit recovery.

4.2 Documentation Requirements Following a Claim

After submitting the initial claim through the Platform, the Host shall email all supporting materials, including photos, videos, and written descriptions, to inspections@thrillfleet.com. This documentation must clearly depict the damage and the condition of the vehicle at return.

4.3 Professional Repair Estimates

The Host must provide professional repair estimates within five days following the end of the booking window. These estimates must come from licensed repair facilities and must accurately reflect the cost of restoring the vehicle to its prior condition. Only documented, verifiable repair estimates may be used to pursue recovery from the renter’s deposit.

4.4 Failure to Meet Requirements

If the Host fails to report the damage within twenty-four hours or to submit required estimates within the specified five-day period, the Host forfeits the right to claim any portion of the renter’s deposit. ThrillFleet is not obligated to enforce or facilitate claims that do not meet these procedural requirements.

• CANCELLATIONS AND HOST RELIABILITY

5.1 Host Cancellation Standards

The Host acknowledges that maintaining reliability and predictability is essential to ThrillFleet’s marketplace. Cancellations by the Host within twenty-four hours of the scheduled booking start time disrupt renter plans and undermine platform trust. Accordingly, such cancellations may result in progressive penalties that are automatically applied to future payouts and may affect the Host’s ability to continue listing vehicles.

5.2 Progressive Penalty Structure

A Host’s first late cancellation results in a reset of the Trust Badge status and the issuance of a written warning. A second late cancellation results in a one-hundred-dollar penalty deducted from the Host’s next payout. A third late cancellation results in a two-hundred-dollar deduction. A fourth late cancellation results in a three-hundred-dollar deduction and a ninety-day suspension from the Platform. Continued violations may lead to permanent removal at ThrillFleet’s discretion.

5.3 Safety-Based Cancellations

The Host may delay or cancel a booking when prevailing weather or trail conditions make vehicle operation unsafe. Hosts are encouraged to prioritize safety and exercise reasonable judgment. ThrillFleet does not automatically issue refunds for weather-related cancellations. The Host may, but is not required to, offer a rescheduled booking time at their discretion.

5.4 Impact on Platform Standing

All cancellations are recorded within the Host’s account history and may affect listing visibility, eligibility for Platform features, and continued access to hosting privileges. Repeated cancellations, regardless of cause, may be treated as reliability failures and may justify suspension or account termination.

• INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Host Duty to Indemnify

The Host agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ThrillFleet, its officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, partners, agents, and all other users from any claim, demand, loss, damage, liability, or expense arising out of or connected to the Host’s listing, maintenance, operation, or management of any vehicle on the Platform. This duty applies regardless of whether the claim is brought by a renter, passenger, third party, governmental authority, or any other entity.

6.2 Liability for Vehicle Condition and Representations

The Host is solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy of listing information and the safety, legality, and operational readiness of all vehicles offered. The Host agrees to indemnify ThrillFleet against any claim resulting from inaccurate descriptions, misleading information, inadequate maintenance, equipment defects, or hazardous conditions present before or during a rental.

6.3 Liability for Violations of Law and Platform Rules

The Host acknowledges that failure to comply with municipal, state, or federal laws, or with ThrillFleet’s Terms of Service and incorporated policies, may result in legal or financial consequences. The Host agrees to indemnify ThrillFleet for all penalties, damages, or expenses arising from such violations.

6.4 Recovery of Legal and Administrative Costs

The Host’s indemnification obligations extend to all legal fees, administrative fees, court costs, expert costs, and any expense incurred by ThrillFleet in responding to or defending a claim. ThrillFleet retains the right to select its own legal representation in any matter for which indemnification applies.

• VEHICLE RECOVERY AND DISPUTES

7.1 Host Responsibility for Post-Rental Issues

The Host is solely responsible for addressing all issues that arise after the rental period, including damage assessments, late returns, non-return of vehicles, location disputes, and any misuse identified during or after the booking. ThrillFleet is not responsible for recovering vehicles, enforcing return obligations, or resolving operational disputes between Hosts and Renters.

7.2 Limited Platform Assistance

ThrillFleet may, at its discretion, assist with communication between the Host and the Renter or provide access to deposit information, rental documentation, and verification data. Such assistance is voluntary and does not create an obligation for ThrillFleet to resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or guarantee financial recovery.

7.3 No Guarantee of Compensation or Enforcement

The Host acknowledges that ThrillFleet does not guarantee reimbursement, deposit retention, or successful enforcement of any claim arising from damage, loss, or breach of rental terms. The Host must rely on their own documentation, legal options, and exercised diligence when addressing disputes.

7.4 Cooperation with ThrillFleet

The Host agrees to cooperate in good faith with ThrillFleet during any review, investigation, or administrative process involving disputes, damage claims, fraud concerns, or safety-related matters. Failure to cooperate may result in account suspension or removal from the Platform.

• ARBITRATION AND GOVERNING LAW

8.1 Governing Law

This Addendum is governed exclusively by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The Host acknowledges that ThrillFleet operates as a Texas-based LLC and agrees that Texas substantive law applies to all matters arising from hosting activities.

8.2 Mandatory Binding Arbitration

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising from or relating to hosting activities, vehicle listings, deposit claims, damage disputes, or any provision of this Addendum shall be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration shall be conducted in Denton County, Texas, before a single neutral arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction.

8.3 Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Proceedings

The Host knowingly waives the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in any class action, class arbitration, representative action, or consolidated proceeding. All claims must be brought on an individual basis, and the arbitrator has no authority to adjudicate claims on a collective or class-wide basis.

8.4 Informal Resolution Requirement

Prior to initiating arbitration, the Host shall provide written notice to ThrillFleet describing the dispute in detail and shall allow ThrillFleet thirty days to attempt informal resolution. If the dispute cannot be resolved within that period, either party may proceed to arbitration.

8.5 Exceptions for Injunctive Relief

ThrillFleet may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court when necessary to protect intellectual property, prevent fraud, enforce platform rules, or preserve the safety and integrity of the Platform.

• UPDATES AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

9.1 Right to Modify Addendum

ThrillFleet may update, amend, or replace the terms of this Addendum at any time. Updated versions become effective once posted on the Platform. Continued listing of vehicles or engagement in hosting activities after changes take effect constitutes the Host’s acceptance of the revised terms.

9.2 Host Responsibility to Review Changes

The Host is responsible for regularly reviewing this Addendum and all incorporated policies. ThrillFleet may provide notice of material updates but is not required to do so. Failure to review updated terms does not excuse compliance or diminish the binding effect of revised provisions.

9.3 Acknowledgment of Agreement

By listing a vehicle, maintaining an active host account, or participating in any hosting activity, the Host acknowledges that they have read this Addendum in full, understand its provisions, and voluntarily agree to be bound by all terms. The Host affirms that they have the legal authority to enter into this agreement and to list the vehicles they provide through the Platform.

1. FORCE MAJEURE

10.1 Definition of Force Majeure Events

ThrillFleet and the Host are not liable for delays, disruptions, or failures in performance caused by events beyond their reasonable control. These events may include severe weather, natural disasters, acts of God, fires, floods, pandemics, government restrictions, power failures, widespread network outages, or any circumstance that makes performance impossible or unsafe.

10.2 Effect on Obligations

When a force majeure event occurs, affected obligations are suspended for the duration of the disruption. Such events do not constitute a breach of this Addendum, nor do they entitle renters to a refund. ThrillFleet retains discretion to issue credits or allow rescheduling, but it is not obligated to compensate any renter or Host for losses arising from force majeure conditions.

10.3 Notice Requirement

If a Host becomes aware of a force majeure event that may impact a booking, the Host agrees to notify ThrillFleet as soon as reasonably possible. ThrillFleet may take appropriate steps to address renter communications, platform adjustments, or rescheduling requests.
