Any references to “you” or “your” in these Terms will mean the person using the Services in any manner, and each of your heirs, assigns or successors.
Please read the following carefully before agreeing to these Terms:
1.1 Your Offer. The presentation of those Services in our App that you can purchase does not constitute a legally binding offer, but merely an invitation for you to order those Services.
1.2 Order Confirmation and Acceptance. By concluding the order process in our App, you submit a binding offer for purchasing your selected Services. After you place an order, we will send you a confirmation e-mail acknowledging receipt of your order which, however, does not constitute acceptance of your order. We conclude a contract with you as soon as we accept your order by means of a separate email or by unlocking the Services for you. The provisions in Section 1 do not apply to the mere usage of the App if you do not purchase a Service
1.3 Technical Order Steps. To purchase our Services, you will need to have an account with us as set out in Section 4. To place an order, select the desired Services in the App and enter your data you desired payment method. Prior to concluding your order in the App, you should check all of the information that you enter and correct any errors, as once your order is submitted, we will begin processing it immediately. All orders placed and processed via the App shall be in the English language. To cancel the order process, you can simply close your App.
1.4 Saving these Terms. You can print out or save this version of the Terms using the corresponding functions of your browser or download it here as a “pdf” and save it on your device. You will also receive the contractual provisions together with information on the booked Services including these Terms and the withdrawal right instruction by e-mail upon acceptance of your contract offer. We do not store the contractual provisions for you.
You shall adhere to the following rules when using the Services:
ANY UNREASONABLE OR INAPPROPRIATE USE OF A SPIN VEHICLE THAT IS NOT LISTED HEREIN BUT COMPARABLE WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED RULES OR ANY VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAWS WILL BE DEEMED TO BE A VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS. The foregoing rules shall apply cumulatively (and not exclusive) to each other.
You acknowledge that use of Spin’s Services, including Spin Vehicles and any other equipment, product or services relating to the use or rental of a Spin Vehicle is an inherently dangerous activity that involves both obvious and non-obvious risks of physical harm, including the risk of death to you and others, as well as damage to property, and that these types of risks can be unforeseeable and sometimes cannot be avoided. In the absence of any negligence or other breach of duty by Spin your use of Spin’s Services, including Spin Vehicles and any other equipment, product or services relating to the use or rental of a Spin Vehicle is entirely at your own risk.
4.1 Creating an Account. In order to access and/or use the Services, you may be required to create an account on the Services or log in using existing third-party credentials (e.g., Facebook, Google, etc.). As part of this process, you may be required to provide Spin with certain personal information, such as your name, email address, mobile phone number, birth date, and a valid debit or credit card number (a "Card"). This information will be treated in accordance with Spin’s Privacy Policy.
4.2 Accuracy. You agree that all information that you provide about yourself, including, without limitation, your email/phone number and Card, is, and will remain during your use of the Services, true, accurate, current, and complete, and that you are authorized to provide and use all such information. You are responsible for all activity that occurs on your account, and you agree to notify Spin immediately of any suspected unauthorized use. In the absence of any negligence or other breach of duty by Spin and to the maximum extent allowed by law, Spin is not liable for any losses by any party caused by unauthorized use of your account.
4.3 Confidentiality. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your log-in credentials and for all activities that occur through the use of your credentials. You agree to notify Spin immediately of any unauthorized use of your log-in credentials or if you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure. You understand and agree that we may require you to provide information in order to confirm your identity and ensure your account’s security. In the absence of any negligence or other breach of duty by Spin, Spin will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized use of your credentials regardless of whether you have notified Spin of such.
4.4 Restrictions. You may not impersonate someone else to create an account, create or use an account for anyone other than yourself, permit anyone else to use your account, or provide personal information for purposes of creating and account other than your own. You may not permit another person to use any Spin Vehicle or other Services using your account credentials, regardless of whether that person is a user of the Services themselves, and to permit such use is a material breach of these Terms. Without limiting our own potential liability any further set out under Section 8, you are responsible for all use of the Services in connection with your account, including, without limitation, any death, personal injury, and injury to property resulting from a Spin Vehicle that has been used with your account credentials due to your fault.
4.5 Account Termination. We have the right to disable, suspend, or close your account if your account has a negative balance, if your Card is no longer valid, or for other reasons by giving you reasonable notice in advance. YOU AGREE THAT WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCESS TO THE SERVICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS. If we terminate your account, you must immediately return any Spin Vehicle and any other property of Spin in your possession. You will be charged for the value of any Spin property that you fail to return as well as all costs (including legal fees) that Spin incurs in attempting to recover its property from you.
5.1 Fees. Service charges may vary based on the Services you select and your region, and may include, without limitation, rental charges, applicable taxes, service fees, and/or other charges set forth in these Terms ("Fees"). The Fees applicable to your use of the Services are set forth in the App and are incorporated herein by reference. You agree to pay all Fees when due.
5.2 Payment Method. You hereby authorize Spin to charge your Card or other payment method via the App or via an authorized third-party payment processor (e.g., PayPal, Stripe, Square, or others). Prior to charging Fees, we may seek pre-authorization of your Card or other payment method up to the maximum amount for a single ride in order to verify its validity or the existence of sufficient funds. It is your responsibility to update and replace your Card or other payment method if they expire or are no longer valid. You agree that you are authorized to use any Card or payment method you furnish to us.
5.3 Stored Balance. You have the option to store funds in your Spin account (“Stored Balance”). Amounts added to Stored Balance are denominated in EUR. You may only use the Stored Balance in EUR, unless otherwise indicated in the App.
5.4 Auto-Reload. If you enable auto-reloading, you authorize Spin to automatically add funds to your Stored Balance by charging your Card or other payment method when the Stored Balance drops below a certain amount (“Auto-Reload”). You can disable Auto-Reload at any time by updating your account settings; provided that changes may take a reasonable amount of time to go into effect. If your Auto-Reload is declined for any reason, including expiry of your Card, funds will not be added to your Stored Balance. If you close your Spin account, unless you owe Fees, you will receive a refund of any amounts in your Stored Balance to your designated payment method. Please allow up to six (6) weeks for this refund.
5.5 Your Payment Information. You authorize us and/or our third-party payment providers to store information about your Card or other payment method for the purpose of charging you Fees and facilitating Auto-Reload. If your payment details change, your Card provider may provide us with updated Card details. We may use these new details to prevent any interruption to your use of the Services. If you would like to make a change to your payment method, please visit your Spin account settings to update your billing information.
6.1 Failure to End Ride, Abandonment, or Theft. You must properly end your ride and park the Spin Vehicle in a valid area. If you do not park your Spin Vehicle in a valid area, Spin is entitled to charge you an additional pick-up fee of 21 GBP. If you do not properly end your ride, keep possession of the Spin Vehicle, and/or otherwise abandon the Spin Vehicle, you may be responsible for the following, as applicable: 1) all trip fees until the Spin Vehicle is recovered and deactivated; 2) an additional pick-up fee of 21 GBP; and 3) up to the full value of a Spin Vehicle if deemed lost or stolen depending on a case-by-case assessment. Additionally, in the case of suspected theft or loss, a police report may be filed.
6.2 Fines and Tickets. When using our Services, you must comply with the laws that apply to you. You are fully responsible for any fines, tickets, or other costs that you incur while using Services (e.g., for your violation of parking or traffic rules and regulations, or if you cause a Spin Vehicle to be towed or impounded). In some locations, Spin may be required by the local authority to impose fines for improper use of Spin Vehicles, including without limitation, improper parking or reckless riding behavior. Spin cooperates with all government officials in their enforcement of applicable laws. After providing you with reasonable notice, you agree that Spin may pay any ticket, citation, fine, and/or penalty that you owe on your behalf directly to the appropriate authority and charge this payment to your account, plus a reasonable administrative fee of 21 GBP.
6.3 Responsibility for Damages. In the absence of negligence or breach of duty by Spin, you are responsible for all damages, losses, claims, consequences, demands, causes of action, injuries, costs, and liability in connection with your use of a Spin Vehicle or the use of a Spin Vehicle under your account credentials, including, without limitation, (i) physical or mechanical damage, (ii) loss due to theft, (iii) physical damage resulting from vandalism, (iv) bodily injury to you or a third party, (v) third party claims, (vi) actual charges for towing, storage and/or impound fees paid by Spin, and (vii) administrative charges, including the cost of appraisal and other costs and expenses incident to the damage or loss. YOUR INSURANCE POLICIES MAY NOT PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR ACCIDENTS INVOLVING OR DAMAGE TO A SPIN VEHICLE. TO DETERMINE IF COVERAGE IS PROVIDED, YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY OR AGENT.
7.1 Limitations on Services. Spin reserves the right to limit the provision of the Services to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction. There may be times when we need to disable the Site and/or Services either temporarily or permanently.
7.2 Availability of Services and the App. Not all features or services included in the Services are available in all markets, and the functionality of the Services may be limited to factors such as vehicle capability, your mobile device, or network coverage. Spin does not give any commitment to you that Spin Vehicles will be available for you in any specific locations and/or at any specific point in time.
7.3 Electric Vehicle Battery. Spin Vehicles are electric vehicles that require periodic battery charging to operate. The level of charge will decrease with use, and the rate at which it decreases depends on various factors. The distance and time that you may use a Spin Vehicle before it loses battery power is never guaranteed, and because we do not know your intended destination, we also cannot warrant that any Spin Vehicle has enough charge to get you there. You are obliged to ensure that a Spin Vehicle has adequate battery charge prior to renting and using it. You are prohibited from charging a Spin Vehicle unless otherwise instructed by Spin.
7.4 App Updates and Upgrades. Spin may issue updated or upgraded versions of the App and may, depending on your mobile device settings, automatically update your App version. If you do not want your App to automatically update, please check and, if required, change the application update settings in your device. It is your responsibility to ensure that your device supports any App update.
7.5 Third Party Sites. The Site, App and/or Services may contain hyperlinks to other non-Spin sites. These links are provided only for your convenience. Spin has no control over the contents of any third-party websites. If you decide to access third-party website links, you do so entirely at your own risk and subject to the user terms and conditions and privacy policies of those websites.
8.1 Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for: (i) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) any matter in respect of which it would be unlawful for us to exclude or restrict our liability.
8.2 If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these terms or our negligence, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into these terms.
8.3 We only supply the Services to you for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the Services for any commercial or business purposes and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
