right of action on the part of any third party or any reasonable expectation that the
Services will not contain any content that is prohibited by such rules.

Services, in print, or in any other format or media now known or hereafter invented,

wish to remove any User Content from the Website, your ability to do so may
depend on the type of User Content, the location and manner of posting, and other
factors. You may contact us at support@leapmobility.io to request the removal of
certain User Content you have posted.
However, you acknowledge and agree that we have no obligation to remove any
such User Content, we may choose whether or not to do so in our sole discretion,
and we make no guarantee as to the complete deletion of any such User Content

Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend and
hold harmless Company, our subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of our respective
officers, directors, agents, partners and employees (individually and collectively, the
“Company Parties”) from and against any losses, liabilities, claims, demands,
damages, expenses or costs (“Claims”) arising out of or related to (a) your access to

party Claims. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other
indemnities set forth in a written agreement between you and Company or the
other Company Parties.
Disclaimers
You expressly acknowledge that your use of our Services is at your sole risk. Our
Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind,
either express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. In
addition, Company does not represent or warrant that our Services are accurate,
complete, reliable, current or error-free, or that the quality of the electric scooters,
content, products, services, information, or any material purchased or obtained by
you through the Services will meet your expectations. We cannot and do not
represent or warrant that our Services or servers are free of viruses or other
harmful components. You assume the entire risk as to the quality and performance
of the Services.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Company and the other Company
Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in
contract, tort, negligence, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential,
exemplary, incidental, punitive or special damages or lost profits, even if Company
or the other Company Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
The total liability of Company and the other Company Parties for any claim arising
out of or relating to these Terms or our Services, regardless of the form of the
action, is limited to the amount paid by you to use our Services in the twelve
months prior to the claim.
The limitations set forth in this Section 16 will not limit or exclude liability for the
gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of Company or the other
Company Parties or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or
limited under applicable law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
While LEAP has taken steps to protect riders from contracting diseases such as,
COVID-19, through the use of antiseptic wraps on the handlebars and more frequent
cleaning of the Scooters, no one, including LEAP, can completely protect you from
contracting diseases such as COVID-19. You acknowledge and agree that LEAP has
no responsibility or liability to you or anyone else should you contract any disease,
including COVID-19, from using the Scooters.
LEAP strongly recommends that you follow the U.S. Center for Disease Control
guidelines and wash your hands. Handwashing is one of the best ways to protect
yourself and your family from getting sick. Wash your hands often with soap and
water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the Scooter. If soap and water
are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60%
alcohol.
Release
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release Company and the
other Company Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands and/or
damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown
(including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out of or related to
disputes between users and the acts or omissions of third parties. If you are a
consumer who resides in California, you hereby waive your rights under California
Civil Code § 1542, which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims
which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time
of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially
affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”
Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate
certain disputes and claims with Company and limits the manner in which you can
seek relief from us, unless you opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set
forth below. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this
arbitration agreement. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or
having a jury trial.
No Representative Actions. You and Company agree that any dispute arising out of
or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and Company and that
any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought
as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
Arbitration of Disputes. Except for small claims disputes in which you or Company
seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of
your billing address or disputes in which you or Company seeks injunctive or other
equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and
Company waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or
related to these Terms or our Services resolved in court. Instead, for any dispute or
claim that you have against Company or relating in any way to the Services, you
agree to first contact Company and attempt to resolve the claim informally by
sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to Company by email at
legaldocs@leapmobility.io or by certified mail addressed to LEAP Mobility, Attention:
Legal Department, 433 Bishop St. NW, Ste B1, Atlanta, GA 30318. The Notice must
(a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number;
(b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief
sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and
Company cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days
after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the dispute to binding
arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth
above, in court. All disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential,
binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in
Fulton County, Georgia, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules
and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The most recent version of the JAMS Rules are
available on the JAMS website and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either
acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive
your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules
are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
You and Company agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the
enforceability of this Section 18 will be substantively and procedurally governed by
the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules,
the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive
decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be
available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The
arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more
than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative
proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
The arbitrator, Company, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration
proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information
gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the
dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings
to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of
confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare
for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court
application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an
arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise
required by law or judicial decision.
You and Company agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing
fee and Company will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration
initiated by Company, Company will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and Company
agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Georgia and the United States
sitting in Fulton County, Georgia have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and
the enforcement of an arbitration award.
Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services must be filed
within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred,
which means that you and Company will not have the right to assert the claim.
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you
first accepted the terms of this Section 18 by emailing us at
support@leapmobility.io. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include
your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding
arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve
disputes in accordance with Section 19.
If any portion of this Section 18 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any
reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these
Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no
impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 18 or the parties’ ability to
compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this
Section 18; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class,
collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a
civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that
litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual
claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 18 is found to prohibit an
individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to
the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder
of this Section 18 will be enforceable.
Governing Law and Venue
Any dispute arising from these Terms and your use of the Services will be governed
by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Florida, except to the
extent preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or
principles (whether of Florida or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the
application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties
that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be
resolved in the state or federal courts of Florida and the United States, respectively,
sitting in Fulton County, Georgia.
Modifying and Terminating our Services
We reserve the right to modify our Services or to suspend or stop providing all or
portions of our Services at any time. You also have the right to stop using our
Services at any time. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your
inability to access or use our Services.
Severability
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or
unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from
these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining
provisions.
Miscellaneous
The failure of Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms
will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these
Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Except as
otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the
parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other
person or entity. You agree that communications and transactions between us may
