The Site, Application and rentlete Services together are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “rentlete Platform”.
When these Terms mention “rentlete,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” it refers to the rentlete company you are contracting with. Your contracting entity will be Stoke GmbH, Jungfrauweg 1, 6005, Lucerne Switzerland.
Our collection and use of personal information in connection with your access to and use of the rentlete Platform is described in our Privacy Policy
Any and all payment processing services through or in connection with your use of the rentlete Platform ("Payment Services") are provided to you by one or more rentlete Payments entities (individually and collectively, as appropriate, "rentlete Payments") as set out in the Payment Term ("Payments Terms").
Athletes alone are responsible for identifying, understanding, and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to their Listings and athlete experiences (as defined below). For example, some cities have laws that restrict their ability to athlete paying enthusiasts for short periods or provide certain athlete experiences. In many cities, athletes may have to register, get a permit or obtain a license before providing certain athlete experiences (such as personal training, athletic therapy, etc). Athletes are alone responsible for identifying and obtaining any required licenses, permits, or registrations for any athlete experiences they offer. Certain types of athlete experiences may be prohibited altogether. Penalties may include fines or other enforcement. If you have questions about how local laws apply to your Listing(s) and athlete Service(s) on rentlete, you should always seek legal guidance.
1.1 The rentlete Platform is an online marketplace that enables registered users (“Members”) and certain third parties who offer services (Members and third parties who offer services are “athletes” and the services they offer are “athlete experiences”) to publish such athlete experiences on the rentlete Platform (“Listings”) and to communicate and transact directly with Members that are seeking to book such athlete experiences (Members using athlete experiences are “enthusiasts”). athlete experiences may include the offering of lessons, training, mentorship, public speaking ("Experiences").
1.2 As the provider of the rentlete Platform, rentlete does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Listings or athlete experiences, nor is rentlete an organiser or retailer of travel packages under Directive (EU) 2015/2302. athletes alone are responsible for their Listings and athlete experiences. When Members make or accept a booking, they are entering into a contract directly with each other. rentlete is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Members, nor is rentlete an agent or insurer. rentlete is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member, except as specified in the Payment Terms.
1.3 While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, rentlete has no control over and does not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings or athlete experiences (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, Ratings, Reviews, or other Member Content (as defined below), or (iii) the performance or conduct of any Member or third party. rentlete does not endorse any Member, Listing or athlete experience. Any references to a Member being "verified" (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by rentlete about any Member, including of the Member's identity or background or whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. You should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to participate in an Experience or use other athlete experiences, accept a booking request from a enthusiast, or communicate and interact with other Members, whether online or in person. Verified Images (as defined below) are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of a Listing at the time the photograph was taken, and are therefore not an endorsement by rentlete of any athlete or Listing.
1.4 If you choose to use the rentlete Platform as a athlete your relationship with rentlete is limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of rentlete for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of rentlete. rentlete does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control you generally or in your performance under these Terms specifically, including in connection with your provision of the athlete experiences. You acknowledge and agree that you have complete discretion whether to list athlete experiences or otherwise engage in other business or employment activities.
1.5 To promote the rentlete Platform and to increase the exposure of Listings to potential enthusiasts, Listings and other Member Content may be displayed on other websites, in applications, within emails, and in online and offline advertisements. To assist Members who speak different languages, Listings and other Member Content may be translated, in whole or in part, into other languages. rentlete cannot guarantee the accuracy or quality of such translations and Members are responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of such translations. The rentlete Platform may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties for merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

2.4 The access to or use of certain areas and features of the rentlete Platform may be subject to separate policies, standards or guidelines, or may require that you accept additional terms and conditions, before you can access the relevant areas or features of the rentlete Platform. If there is a conflict between these Terms and terms and conditions applicable to a specific area or feature of the rentlete Platform, the latter terms and conditions will take precedence with respect to your access to or use of that area or feature, unless specified otherwise in the latter terms and conditions.
rentlete reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time in accordance with this provision. If we make changes to these Terms, we will post the revised Terms on the rentlete Platform and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. If you disagree with the revised Terms, you may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect. We will inform you about your right to terminate the Agreement in the notification email.

4.6 rentlete may enable features that allow you to authorize other Members or certain third parties to take certain actions that affect your rentlete Account. For example, we may enable Members to link their rentlete Accounts to businesses and take actions for those businesses, we may enable eligible Members or certain third parties to book Listings on behalf of other Members, or we may enable athletes to add other Members as Co-athletes (as defined below) to help manage their Listings.

9.3 If an athlete cancels a confirmed booking, the enthusiast will receive a full refund of the Total Fees for such booking. In some instances, rentlete may allow the enthusiast to apply the refund to a new booking, in which case rentlete Payments will credit the amount against the enthusiast’s subsequent booking at the enthusiast’s direction. Further, rentlete may publish an automated review on the Listing cancelled by the athlete indicating that a booking was cancelled. In addition, rentlete may (i) keep the calendar for the Listing unavailable or blocked for the dates of the cancelled booking, and/or (ii) impose a cancellation fee, unless the athlete has a valid reason for cancelling the booking pursuant to rentlete’s policy or has legitimate concerns about the enthusiast’s behavior.
9.4 For Experiences, Events and other athlete experiences, if weather poses a safety risk to enthusiasts, or if it prevents an athlete from carrying out an athlete experience that takes place primarily outdoors, athletes may cancel the athlete experience. athletes may also cancel the athlete experience if other conditions exist that would prevent the athlete from offering the athlete experience safely.
9.5 In certain circumstances, rentlete may decide, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary to cancel a pending or confirmed booking and initiate corresponding refunds and payouts. This may be for reasons set forth in rentlete's policy or (i) where rentlete believes in good faith, while taking the legitimate interests of both parties into account, this is necessary to avoid significant harm to rentlete, other Members, third parties or property, or (ii) for any of the reasons set out in these Terms.
9.7 If an enthusiast or rentlete cancels a confirmed booking, and the enthusiast receives a refund in accordance with the enthusiast refund policy or Extenuating Circumstances Policy, or the applicable cancellation policy set by the athlete and mentioned in the Listing, after the athlete has already been paid, rentlete Payments will be entitled to recover the amount of any such refund from the athlete, including by subtracting such refund amount out from any future Payouts due to the athlete.
9.8 Except as otherwise set out in these Terms, Members may use the Resolution Center to send or request money for refunds, additional athlete experiences or Damage Claims related to bookings. You agree to pay all amounts sent through the Resolution Center in connection with your rentlete Account, and rentlete Payments will handle all such payments.
10.1 Within a certain timeframe after completing a booking, enthusiasts and athletes can leave a public review (“Review”) and submit a star rating (“Rating”) about each other. Ratings or Reviews reflect the opinions of individual Members and do not reflect the opinion of rentlete. Ratings and Reviews are not verified by rentlete for accuracy and may be incorrect or misleading.
10.2 Ratings and Reviews by enthusiasts and athletes must be accurate and may not contain any offensive or defamatory language. Ratings and Reviews are subject to Section 5 and must comply with rentlete’s Content policy.
10.3 Members are prohibited from manipulating the Ratings and Reviews system in any manner, such as instructing a third party to write a positive or negative Review about another Member.
10.4 Ratings and Reviews are part of a Member’s public profile and may also be surfaced elsewhere on the rentlete Platform (such as the Listing page) together with other relevant information such as number of bookings, number of cancellations, average response time and other information.
rentlete generally supports payment amounts that are payable from or to enthusiasts or athletes to the smallest unit supported by a given currency (i.e., U.S. cents, Euro cents or other supported currencies). Where rentlete’s third-party payment services provider does not support payments in the smaller unit supported by a given currency, rentlete may, in its sole discretion, round up or round down the displayed amounts that are payable from or to enthusiasts or athletes to the nearest whole functional base unit in which the currency is denominated (i.e. to the nearest dollar, Euro or other supported currency); for example, rentlete may round up an amount of $101.50 to $102.00, and round down an amount of $101.49 to $101.00.

12.2 Tax regulations may require us to collect appropriate Tax information from athletes, or to withhold Taxes from payouts to athletes, or both. If a athlete fails to provide us with the required documentation under applicable law (e.g., a tax number) that we determine to be sufficient to alleviate our obligation (if any) to withhold Taxes from payouts to you, we reserve the right to withhold payouts up to the tax-relevant amount as required by law, until resolution.
12.3 You understand that any appropriate governmental agency, department and/or authority ("Tax Authority") where your Experience is located may require Taxes to be collected from enthusiasts or athletes on Listing Fees, and to be remitted to the respective Tax Authority.

Additional Terms for Experience Offers
Last Updated: April 3, 2020
You agree to these Additional Terms for Experience Offers (“Experience Terms”) when you submit a Listing for an Experience, Event or other Athlete Service.
These terms are in addition to the rentlete Terms of Service and the rentlete Payments Terms of Service, and except as explicitly stated, the rentlete Terms of Service and the rentlete Payments Terms of Service apply in full to all Experience Offers, Experience Listings, and Experiences, Events, or other Athlete Services. All capitalised terms not defined here have the meaning given to them in the rentlete Terms of Service. Nothing in these Experience Offer Terms shall be construed to amend or contradict the rentlete Terms of Service unless explicitly stated. If there is a conflict between the rentlete Terms of Service and the Experience Offer Terms, these Experience Offer Terms control.
Additional Terms for Listing Experiences, Events and other Athlete Services
To list an Experience, Event or other Athlete Service, you must create a Listing and submit the Experience, Event or Athlete Service to rentlete. Experiences, Events or other Athlete Services must at all times meet the quality standards for Experiences. rentlete reserves the right to decide, in its sole discretion, whether a submitted Experience, Event or other Athlete Service will be published on the rentlete Platform. Once published, an Experience, Event or other Athlete Service may be removed pursuant to the removal provisions below or pursuant to any applicable removal provision in the rentlete Terms of Service.
When listing an Experience, Event or other Athlete Service you must, where applicable, fully educate and inform Enthusiasts about (i) any risks inherent to the Experience, Event or other Athlete Service, (ii) any requirements for participation, such as the minimum age, related skills, level of fitness or other requirements, and (iii) anything else they may need to know to safely participate in the Experience, Event or other Athlete Service (including dress codes, equipment, special certifications or licenses, etc.).
Once your Experience, Event or other athlete Service is published on the rentlete platform, you will have the ability to add dates and times when you offer your Experience through the rentlete Platform. By making your Experience, Event or other Athlete Service available for a particular date and time on the rentlete Platform (an “Instance”), you agree that only people who book through rentlete can attend that Instance of the Experience, Event or other Athlete Service. You further agree that you will not allow people to attend any Instance of your Experience, Event or other Athlete Service available on the rentlete Platform unless that person booked through rentlete (or was added as an additional Enthusiast for a spot booked through the rentlete Platform).
Athletes alone are responsible for the Experiences, Events, or other Athlete Services that they submit, list and provide. rentlete merely provides the rentlete Services and is not itself an operator or provider of tours, activities, experience services, Experiences, Events or other Athlete Services. rentlete does not own, sell, resell, furnish, provide, manage and/or control any such Experiences, Events or other Athlete Services. rentlete’s responsibilities are limited to making the Listings for Experiences, Events or other Athlete Services available through the rentlete Platform.
You are responsible for acquiring all equipment, including supplies, vehicles, venues and other materials (“Equipment”) necessary to athlete your Experience, Event or other Athlete Service. You are solely responsible for ensuring that the Equipment used in your Experience, Event or other Athlete Service is in good working order and conforms to all laws pertaining to safety, equipment, inspection, and operational capability. Except as otherwise required by law, you assume all risk of damage or loss to your Equipment.
Additional Experience Offer Responsibilities
You are responsible for (i) understanding and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that may apply to your Experience, Event or other Athlete Service(s), (ii) obtaining any required licenses, permits, or registrations prior to providing your Experience, Event or other Athlete Service(s); and (iii) ensuring that your Listing and/or athlete ing of an Experience, Event, or other Athlete Service(s) will not breach any agreement you may have with any third party.
Severability
If any provision or part of a provision in these terms is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, such provision (or the part of it that is making it invalid, void or unenforceable) will be struck and not affect the validity of and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
Updates to these Experience Offer Terms
We reserve the right to update, modify or discontinue the Experience Offer Terms, at any time. If we modify the Experience Offer Terms, we will give you notice and post the modification on the rentlete Site, or Services. By continuing to access or use the Services after the modified Experience Offer Terms becomes effective, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the updated terms. If the modified terms are not acceptable to you, your recourse is to stop using the Services.
