We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. All changes will be effective immediately upon posting on the Platform. Material changes will be clearly posted on the Platform or otherwise communicated to you (e.g., via email).
Information We Collect and How We Collect It
The information we may collect generally falls into the following categories:
- Information that you voluntarily provide to us, for example, your contact information, payment information, user-generated content, and information submitted in the course of inquiring about or renting assets or equipment.
- Information collected through your use of the Services, for example, account activity, data collected by the servers used to operate the Services (e.g., IP addresses), location information, data collected when you connect using or share information via social media platforms, and data collected by cookies and other tracking technologies.
Information Voluntarily Provided
Personal Information. You can visit our website without submitting your personal information to us but you will be required to provide your personal information via the Platform and/or to us via email in order to, for example, sign up for a Platform account, request information from us, post assets and equipment for rent, or rent assets or equipment. We will collect any personal information from or about you that you choose to provide to us, which may include, without limitation, your name, email address, telephone numbers, physical address, motor vehicle report (MVR) number, Department of Transportation number, and/or motor carrier number, other contact information, and payment information. We will use your personal information as described below in this Privacy Policy, including to set up and administer your Platform account and communicate with you, subject to your communications preferences, applicable laws, and the terms of this Privacy Policy. Additionally, if you provide a mobile or other telephone number to us, you consent to receiving text messages and telephone calls from us at that telephone number as described below, but only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Account, Profile, and Listing Information. To sign up for a REPOWR account you will be required to provide your name, email address, company name, job title, and applicable identifiers, such as your motor vehicle report (MVR) number, Department of Transportation number, and/or motor carrier number. You may also be able to sign up for an account using your Facebook or Google account as described below under “Single Sign-On.” You may have the option of populating your Platform account and/or profile with other types of information, as well as providing us with additional information when asked. To list assets or equipment for rent on the Platform you will be required to provide information pertaining to those assets and equipment, for example, descriptions, equipment year, make, and model, vehicle identification numbers, and photographs. Any such information that you choose to submit will be collected by REPOWR.
Payment Information. Amounts owed for the rental of assets and equipment must be made through the Platform and all payments made through the Platform must be made using Stripe by credit or debit card or via PayPal. All credit and debit card information is provided directly to our applicable PCI-compliant third-party payment processor. REPOWR does not directly access, handle, or store your credit or debit card information, but we will maintain a record of the payments you make through the Platform. To submit payment through our website via credit or debit card, you will need to provide your name, your email address, your phone number, and your credit or debit card type, number, expiration date, security code, and billing address. You may also be required to provide your billing address. Our payment processor, Stripe, may use your payment-related information as described in Stripe’s Privacy Policy.

User-Generated Content. We will collect all data, information, images, messages, documents, files, materials, and other content that you post to, enter into, transmit using, submit to, uploaded to, or otherwise provide to or using the Services, including without limitation information pertaining to assets and equipment available for rent, information you choose to share about yourself on your profile, reviews, ratings, messages to and from other users, and discussion forum posts (together, “User-Generated Content”). You are responsible for any and all such User-Generated Content. You understand and acknowledge that certain features of the Platform may allow or require User-Generated Content you provide to be made available, including publicly available, to other Platform users and that, accordingly, those other users may be able to access and use that User-Generated Content. User-Generated Content that you provide is transmitted at your own risk. We cannot guarantee that User-Generated Content will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. You understand that, even after removal, User-Generated Content you have provided may remain viewable to and may have been copied or stored by other users of the Platform. For more information on User-Generated Content and how it’s used and disclosed, please review our Terms of Service.
Information Pertaining to the Rental of Assets and Equipment. Users seeking to rent assets or equipment through the Platform will be required to provide additional information through the Platform and/or to REPOWR via email (e.g., to documents@repowr.com). Such information will be used by REPOWR and, as applicable, sent to the owner of the applicable assets or equipment. Information and documents may also be required from the owner of the assets or equipment, which may, as applicable, be sent to the prospective renter. Such information may include, without limitation and in addition to the types of personal information listed above, forms of identification, driver’s license, proof of operating authorities, proof of insurance coverage, related documents, safety histories, credit reports, and equipment rental agreements. Agreements between owners and renters of assets or equipment may require that or allow for additional information to be provided (e.g., template and completed equipment inspection forms). Any information and materials transmitted or provided through the Platform or emailed to REPOWR will be collected by REPOWR.
Mailing Lists and Surveys. If you sign up or otherwise opt in to receive updates, promotional communications, surveys, or related materials from us, you will need to provide your email address. We will use this information to generate content and to send you emails. You may opt out of receiving promotional emails from us at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in the applicable email. We may use third-party email providers to deliver these communications to you.
Invite a New Member. If you choose to use our referral form to tell someone about the Platform, we will ask you for that person’s email address and you may have the option of including a message. We may send that person an email invite to visit the Platform. We will store this information for purposes of sending those emails and tracking the success of our referral program.
Other Information Collected
As you navigate and use the Services, certain information can be passively collected—that is, gathered without the user actively providing the information or being concurrently made aware of the collection of information—using various technologies. We passively collect a variety of types of information in a variety of ways, including:
Account Activity. We will collect data about how you use the Platform and your account, for example, the Platform features you choose to use, the types of assets and equipment you search or browse for using the Platform, search parameters, your preferences, and the other Platform users you choose to communicate or transact with.
IP Addresses and Related Data. The servers used to operate and provide the Services may collect data pertaining to you and the equipment, software, and communication methods you use to access the Internet and the Services, including Internet protocol (IP) addresses assigned to the computers and other devices from where you access the Internet, your Internet service provider (ISP), device ID numbers and unique identifiers, your media access control (MAC) address, your operating system, your computer screen resolution, your web browser type, the pages you access on the Services, the websites you access before and after visiting the Services, the length of time you spend on the Services, date and time stamps, clickstream data, and your approximate geographic location. REPOWR may use this information to administer the Services and its servers, to generate statistical information, to monitor and analyze Services traffic and usage patterns, to monitor and help prevent fraud, to investigate complaints and violations of our policies, and to improve the Services’ content.
We may combine this information with other Collected Information (including personal information) and information obtained from third parties for security reasons and to protect our rights or the rights of others. The suppliers that we use to provide the Services may collect information about your visits to the Services and other websites. Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies as explained below under “Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies.”
Location Information. In addition to the approximate geographic location information collected as discussed above, we may, with your consent, access more specific location information to enhance the user experience, increase the usefulness of the Services, and determine what assets or equipment are listed in your area. This includes both geographical location information that you input using the Services (e.g., when you enter a zip code, city, or street address) and, as applicable, geographical location information collected by device-based location services (including GPS data). You may choose to allow us to access your location by granting the Services access to your location when prompted or through your device’s location services settings. REPOWR also uses the Google Maps API(s). Pursuant to the Google Maps APIs Terms of Service, use of this location feature is also subject to Google’s Privacy Policy. For information on how Google categorizes location information, please visit Types of location data used by Google. Both the Google Terms of Service and Google’s Privacy Policy are incorporated into this Privacy Policy by this reference.
Advertising Networks, Personalized Advertising, Remarketing, and Retargeting. From time to time the Services may use or participate in advertising networks and related advertising services that are managed and provided by third-party advertising servers, advertising agencies, technology vendors, and research firms, including advertising services provided by Google and Facebook. These services collect information about your visits to and interactions with the Services and other websites and will use that information to target advertisements for goods and services. The information collected may be associated with your personal information. These targeted advertisements may appear on the Services or on other websites. Advertising networks often gather data about consumers who view advertisements to make inferences about a consumer’s interests and preferences, which enables their computers to deliver advertisements directly targeted to the consumer’s specific interests. This practice is often referred to as “online behavioral advertising.” For example, a third-party advertising network might collect the type of web browser you use, the type of computer operating system you use, the domain name of a website you visit, whether or not you visit specific pages of the Services and other websites, the location of your Internet service provider, the date and time of a visit to a website, and other interactions between you and a website. Through Google Ads, Google uses your Internet searches, cookies, and similar identifiers (e.g., pixel tags) to collect information about your visits to the Services and your interaction with our services to generate targeted advertisements to you on other websites that you visit across the Internet. To opt out of remarketing advertising provided through Google, to customize your ad preferences, or to limit Google’s collection or use this information, visit Google’s Safety Center and Google’s Ad Settings and follow Google’s personalized ad opt-out instructions. Opting out will not affect your use of the Services.
To change your preferences with respect to certain online ads and to obtain more information about third-party ad networks and online behavioral advertising, please visit the National Advertising Initiative Consumer opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Program. Please remember that changing your settings with individual web browsers or ad networks will not necessarily carry over to other browsers or ad networks. As a result, depending on the opt-outs you request, you may still see our ads from time to time.
Single Sign-On and Social Media. You may sign up for a Platform account and log into that Platform account using your Facebook or Google account by providing your log-in information for those third-party services via the Services when prompted. If you choose to use these single sign-on features, REPOWR may access, handle, and store certain content and information that you have provided through Facebook or Google (as applicable) or otherwise tied to your applicable third-party service account and make that information available on the Services. These features may require us to implement cookies, plug-ins, and application protocol interfaces (“APIs”) provided by those social media platforms to facilitate those and features. In addition, by using these single sign-on features or by linking your Service account to your Facebook or Google account, you allow us to share Collected Information with Facebook or Google, as applicable. We do not and cannot control any policies or terms of any third-party service, including Facebook and Google. All information you have provided to Facebook or Google is subject to the applicable privacy policy: see Facebook’s Data Policy and Google’s Privacy Policy.
The Platform may allow you to connect to and share information with various social media platforms, for example, Facebook and Google, including as part of the single sign-on features described above. These features may require us to implement cookies, plug-ins, and APIs provided by those social media platforms to facilitate those communications and features. We may share information that you provide us or that we may collect about your use of the Platform with those platforms and that information will be subject to their privacy policies. We encourage you to review those platforms’ privacy policies: Facebook’s Data Policy and Google’s Privacy Policy. In addition, by choosing to use any third-party social media platform or choosing to share content or communications with any social media platform, you allow us to share information with the designated social media platform. We cannot control any policies or terms of such third party platform. As a result, we cannot be responsible for any use or disclosure of your information or content by third-party platforms, which you use at your own risk.
If you do not want social media platforms to collect information relating to you via the Platform or to link information collected via the Platform to your social media accounts, we suggest that you: (a) do not connect to or share information with social media platforms using the Platform; (b) hide social media platform plug-ins using an ad blocker; (c) always log off completely from social media platforms before visiting the Platform or other websites and delete all related cookies; and, (d) where the option made available by a social media platform, disable the advertising services and networks operated by that platform.
Our Social Media Pages. REPOWR is active on social media platforms. You may have the opportunity to comment on those social media platforms regarding REPOWR and the products and services we offer. REPOWR may post on the Platform and its other websites and social media pages any comments or content that you post on our social media pages.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies. The Services automatically use cookies to track your use of the Services in order to facilitate and enhance the user experience on the Services and for other purposes as described below. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored on your device’s hard drive by your web browser. We use cookies to learn and track how you access and use the Services, including when and how users visit the Services and how popular particular Service pages are and aren’t. We also use cookies to recognize users of the Services, to help display information on the Platform, and to improve your enjoyment and the usefulness of the Services, for example, by remembering certain information.
The Services may use both cookies that we implement and cookies implemented by our suppliers and other third parties. Our suppliers may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as pixel tags, to track Services visitors across the Internet to understand how you get to the Services. We do not have access or control over these cookies and this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of third-party cookies.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies. Browsers generally also allow users to manage cookies in the browser’s settings. For example, a browser may allow you to reject cookies from certain websites, reject certain types of cookies regardless of the website, reject or disable all cookies from all websites, and/or delete cookies stored previously. Some browsers also give you the option of being notified every time a cookie is sent to your browser by a website. You can disable or limit cookies but doing so may impact your use and enjoyment of the Services and other websites. For example, the Services may not be able to be personalized for you, may no longer capture or remember your preferences or other choices you have made on the Services in the past, and may not remember your log-in information or other information you have entered using our website.
Changing your cookie preferences in one browser will not necessarily carry over to other browsers, so you may need to adjust your preferences each time you get a new computer, install a new browser, upgrade an existing browser, or alter or delete a browser’s cookie file.
The types of information collected by a cookie and the purposes for which that information is used depends on the type of cookie. By way of illustration, the types of information collected by the Services’ cookies and the purposes for which that information are used are described below. We may also combine information collected by cookies with other Collected Information.
- Operationally necessary cookies (also called essential cookies). These are cookies that are required for the operation of the Services. For example, these cookies are required to identify irregular website behavior, prevent fraudulent activity, and improve security. They also allow users of the Services to make use of its functions. Without these cookies, features and services you have requested will not be able to be provided.
- Functional cookies. These cookies allow us to offer you enhanced functionality when accessing or using the Services. This may include to remembering choices you make, for example, remembering your preferences or settings, remembering if you reacted to something on or through the Services so that you are not asked to react to it again, remembering if you have used any feature of the Services before, remembering your location, and enabling social media components. If functional cookies are disabled, various functions of the Services may be unavailable to you or may not work the way you want them to.
- Performance cookies (also called analytical cookies). These cookies assess the performance of the Services, including as part of our analytic practices to help us understand how visitors use and interact with the Services, for example, which pages on our websites users visit most often. These cookies also enable us to personalize content and remember your preferences. These cookies help us improve the way our websites work and provide a better, personalized user experience.
A cookie can either be a “session” cookie or a “persistent” cookie. Session cookies exist only for so long as you are visiting the applicable website. Session cookies are typically deleted or removed when you exit or quit your browser application. Persistent cookies exist for a set period of time, for example, six months or one year. Each time you visit a website that has implemented a persistent cookie, that cookie will remain active until its predetermined expiration date. You can also manually delete persistent cookies as discussed above.
The Services may also use the following types of tracking technologies: web beacons (also called clear GIFs), flash cookies, and pixels (also called pixel tags). Web beacons are tiny graphics with unique identifiers that functions similar to how cookies function but, in contrast to cookies, web beacons are embedded invisibly on websites. Flash cookies collect and store information about your use of a website and are commonly used for advertisements and videos. Pixel tags can be placed on websites or within emails to track your interactions with those websites and when emails are opened.
How We Respond to Do-Not-Track Signals. Due to the automatic collection of data using cookies as described above, we do not honor “do not track” requests. For this reason, your selection of the “Do Not Track” option provided by your browser may not have any effect on our collection of information using cookies and other tracking technologies.
Information from Other Sources. We may obtain data about users of the Services from various third-party companies and public sources, whether offline or online (such as references and publicly available social media profiles), and we may combine that data with Collected Information. This enhances our existing information about our users and customers.
How We Use and Share Collected Information
In addition to the uses and sharing described above, REPOWR and its suppliers may use and disclose Collected Information as described below. We do not use, sell, rent, or otherwise disclose Collected Information except as stated in this Privacy Policy and as required or permitted by applicable law.

User-Generated Content will be used for the purpose for which it was provided, including to make that content available to other users of the Platform as discussed above and in our Terms of Service.

We may also disclose Collected Information in connection with the evaluation of those transactions. Those owner(s), successor(s), and other recipients, as applicable, will be bound by this Privacy Policy as it applies to the information disclosed. Also, if REPOWR or any of its assets are acquired or if REPOWR goes out of business, enters bankruptcy, or goes through some other change in control or reorganization, Collected Information may be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.

User-Generated Content that you provide is transmitted at your own risk. We cannot guarantee that User-Generated Content will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. You understand that, even after removal, User-Generated Content you have provided may remain viewable to and may have been copied or stored by other users of the Platform. For more information on User-Generated Content and how it’s used and disclosed, please review our Terms of Service.
Information Pertaining to the Rental of Assets and Equipment. Users seeking to rent assets or equipment through the Platform will be required to provide additional information through the Platform and/or to REPOWR via email (e.g., to documents@repowr.com). Such information will be used by REPOWR and, as applicable, sent to the owner of the applicable assets or equipment. Information and documents may also be required from the owner of the assets or equipment, which may, as applicable, be sent to the prospective renter. Such information may include, without limitation and in addition to the types of personal information listed above, forms of identification, driver’s license, proof of operating authorities, proof of insurance coverage, related documents, safety histories, credit reports, and equipment rental agreements.

Any information and materials transmitted or provided through the Platform or emailed to REPOWR will be collected by REPOWR.
Mailing Lists and Surveys. If you sign up or otherwise opt in to receive updates, promotional communications, surveys, or related materials from us, you will need to provide your email address. We will use this information to generate content and to send you emails. You may opt out of receiving promotional emails from us at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in the applicable email. We may use third-party email providers to deliver these communications to you.
Invite a New Member. If you choose to use our referral form to tell someone about the Platform, we will ask you for that person’s email address and you may have the option of including a message. We may send that person an email invite to visit the Platform. We will store this information for purposes of sending those emails and tracking the success of our referral program.
Other Information Collected
As you navigate and use the Services, certain information can be passively collected—that is, gathered without the user actively providing the information or being concurrently made aware of the collection of information—using various technologies. We passively collect a variety of types of information in a variety of ways, including:
Account Activity. We will collect data about how you use the Platform and your account, for example, the Platform features you choose to use, the types of assets and equipment you search or browse for using the Platform, search parameters, your preferences, and the other Platform users you choose to communicate or transact with.
IP Addresses and Related Data. The servers used to operate and provide the Services may collect data pertaining to you and the equipment, software, and communication methods you use to access the Internet and the Services, including Internet protocol (IP) addresses assigned to the computers and other devices from where you access the Internet, your Internet service provider (ISP), device ID numbers and unique identifiers, your media access control (MAC) address, your operating system, your computer screen resolution, your web browser type, the pages you access on the Services, the websites you access before and after visiting the Services, the length of time you spend on the Services, date and time stamps, clickstream data, and your approximate geographic location. REPOWR may use this information to administer the Services and its servers, to generate statistical information, to monitor and analyze Services traffic and usage patterns, to monitor and help prevent fraud, to investigate complaints and violations of our policies, and to improve the Services’ content.
We may combine this information with other Collected Information (including personal information) and information obtained from third parties for security reasons and to protect our rights or the rights of others. The suppliers that we use to provide the Services may collect information about your visits to the Services and other websites. Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies as explained below under “Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies.”
Location Information. In addition to the approximate geographic location information collected as discussed above, we may, with your consent, access more specific location information to enhance the user experience, increase the usefulness of the Services, and determine what assets or equipment are listed in your area. This includes both geographical location information that you input using the Services (e.g., when you enter a zip code, city, or street address) and, as applicable, geographical location information collected by device-based location services (including GPS data). You may choose to allow us to access your location by granting the Services access to your location when prompted or through your device’s location services settings. REPOWR also uses the Google Maps API(s). Pursuant to the Google Maps APIs Terms of Service, use of this location feature is also subject to Google’s Privacy Policy. For information on how Google categorizes location information, please visit Types of location data used by Google. Both the Google Terms of Service and Google’s Privacy Policy are incorporated into this Privacy Policy by this reference.
Advertising Networks, Personalized Advertising, Remarketing, and Retargeting. From time to time the Services may use or participate in advertising networks and related advertising services that are managed and provided by third-party advertising servers, advertising agencies, technology vendors, and research firms, including advertising services provided by Google and Facebook. These services collect information about your visits to and interactions with the Services and other websites and will use that information to target advertisements for goods and services. The information collected may be associated with your personal information. These targeted advertisements may appear on the Services or on other websites. Advertising networks often gather data about consumers who view advertisements to make inferences about a consumer’s interests and preferences, which enables their computers to deliver advertisements directly targeted to the consumer’s specific interests. This practice is often referred to as “online behavioral advertising.” For example, a third-party advertising network might collect the type of web browser you use, the type of computer operating system you use, the domain name of a website you visit, whether or not you visit specific pages of the Services and other websites, the location of your Internet service provider, the date and time of a visit to a website, and other interactions between you and a website. Through Google Ads, Google uses your Internet searches, cookies, and similar identifiers (e.g., pixel tags) to collect information about your visits to the Services and your interaction with our services to generate targeted advertisements to you on other websites that you visit across the Internet. To opt out of remarketing advertising provided through Google, to customize your ad preferences, or to limit Google’s collection or use this information, visit Google’s Safety Center and Google’s Ad Settings and follow Google’s personalized ad opt-out instructions. Opting out will not affect your use of the Services.
To change your preferences with respect to certain online ads and to obtain more information about third-party ad networks and online behavioral advertising, please visit the National Advertising Initiative Consumer opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Program. Please remember that changing your settings with individual web browsers or ad networks will not necessarily carry over to other browsers or ad networks. As a result, depending on the opt-outs you request, you may still see our ads from time to time.
Single Sign-On and Social Media. You may sign up for a Platform account and log into that Platform account using your Facebook or Google account by providing your log-in information for those third-party services via the Services when prompted. If you choose to use these single sign-on features, REPOWR may access, handle, and store certain content and information that you have provided through Facebook or Google (as applicable) or otherwise tied to your applicable third-party service account and make that information available on the Services. These features may require us to implement cookies, plug-ins, and application protocol interfaces (“APIs”) provided by those social media platforms to facilitate those and features. In addition, by using these single sign-on features or by linking your Service account to your Facebook or Google account, you allow us to share Collected Information with Facebook or Google, as applicable. We do not and cannot control any policies or terms of any third-party service, including Facebook and Google. All information you have provided to Facebook or Google is subject to the applicable privacy policy: see Facebook’s Data Policy and Google’s Privacy Policy.
The Platform may allow you to connect to and share information with various social media platforms, for example, Facebook and Google, including as part of the single sign-on features described above. These features may require us to implement cookies, plug-ins, and APIs provided by those social media platforms to facilitate those communications and features. We may share information that you provide us or that we may collect about your use of the Platform with those platforms and that information will be subject to their privacy policies. We encourage you to review those platforms’ privacy policies: Facebook’s Data Policy and Google’s Privacy Policy. In addition, by choosing to use any third-party social media platform or choosing to share content or communications with any social media platform, you allow us to share information with the designated social media platform. We cannot control any policies or terms of such third party platform. As a result, we cannot be responsible for any use or disclosure of your information or content by third-party platforms, which you use at your own risk.
If you do not want social media platforms to collect information relating to you via the Platform or to link information collected via the Platform to your social media accounts, we suggest that you: (a) do not connect to or share information with social media platforms using the Platform; (b) hide social media platform plug-ins using an ad blocker; (c) always log off completely from social media platforms before visiting the Platform or other websites and delete all related cookies; and, (d) where the option made available by a social media platform, disable the advertising services and networks operated by that platform.
Our Social Media Pages. REPOWR is active on social media platforms. You may have the opportunity to comment on those social media platforms regarding REPOWR and the products and services we offer. REPOWR may post on the Platform and its other websites and social media pages any comments or content that you post on our social media pages.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies. The Services automatically use cookies to track your use of the Services in order to facilitate and enhance the user experience on the Services and for other purposes as described below. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored on your device’s hard drive by your web browser. We use cookies to learn and track how you access and use the Services, including when and how users visit the Services and how popular particular Service pages are and aren’t. We also use cookies to recognize users of the Services, to help display information on the Platform, and to improve your enjoyment and the usefulness of the Services, for example, by remembering certain information.
The Services may use both cookies that we implement and cookies implemented by our suppliers and other third parties. Our suppliers may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as pixel tags, to track Services visitors across the Internet to understand how you get to the Services. We do not have access or control over these cookies and this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of third-party cookies.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies. Browsers generally also allow users to manage cookies in the browser’s settings. For example, a browser may allow you to reject cookies from certain websites, reject certain types of cookies regardless of the website, reject or disable all cookies from all websites, and/or delete cookies stored previously. Some browsers also give you the option of being notified every time a cookie is sent to your browser by a website. You can disable or limit cookies but doing so may impact your use and enjoyment of the Services and other websites. For example, the Services may not be able to be personalized for you, may no longer capture or remember your preferences or other choices you have made on the Services in the past, and may not remember your log-in information or other information you have entered using our website.
Changing your cookie preferences in one browser will not necessarily carry over to other browsers, so you may need to adjust your preferences each time you get a new computer, install a new browser, upgrade an existing browser, or alter or delete a browser’s cookie file.
The types of information collected by a cookie and the purposes for which that information is used depends on the type of cookie. By way of illustration, the types of information collected by the Services’ cookies and the purposes for which that information are used are described below. We may also combine information collected by cookies with other Collected Information.
- Operationally necessary cookies (also called essential cookies). These are cookies that are required for the operation of the Services. For example, these cookies are required to identify irregular website behavior, prevent fraudulent activity, and improve security. They also allow users of the Services to make use of its functions. Without these cookies, features and services you have requested will not be able to be provided.
- Functional cookies. These cookies allow us to offer you enhanced functionality when accessing or using the Services. This may include to remembering choices you make, for example, remembering your preferences or settings, remembering if you reacted to something on or through the Services so that you are not asked to react to it again, remembering if you have used any feature of the Services before, remembering your location, and enabling social media components. If functional cookies are disabled, various functions of the Services may be unavailable to you or may not work the way you want them to.
- Performance cookies (also called analytical cookies). These cookies assess the performance of the Services, including as part of our analytic practices to help us understand how visitors use and interact with the Services, for example, which pages on our websites users visit most often. These cookies also enable us to personalize content and remember your preferences. These cookies help us improve the way our websites work and provide a better, personalized user experience.
A cookie can either be a “session” cookie or a “persistent” cookie. Session cookies exist only for so long as you are visiting the applicable website. Session cookies are typically deleted or removed when you exit or quit your browser application. Persistent cookies exist for a set period of time, for example, six months or one year. Each time you visit a website that has implemented a persistent cookie, that cookie will remain active until its predetermined expiration date. You can also manually delete persistent cookies as discussed above.
The Services may also use the following types of tracking technologies: web beacons (also called clear GIFs), flash cookies, and pixels (also called pixel tags). Web beacons are tiny graphics with unique identifiers that functions similar to how cookies function but, in contrast to cookies, web beacons are embedded invisibly on websites. Flash cookies collect and store information about your use of a website and are commonly used for advertisements and videos. Pixel tags can be placed on websites or within emails to track your interactions with those websites and when emails are opened.
How We Respond to Do-Not-Track Signals. Due to the automatic collection of data using cookies as described above, we do not honor “do not track” requests. For this reason, your selection of the “Do Not Track” option provided by your browser may not have any effect on our collection of information using cookies and other tracking technologies.
Information from Other Sources. We may obtain data about users of the Services from various third-party companies and public sources, whether offline or online (such as references and publicly available social media profiles), and we may combine that data with Collected Information. This enhances our existing information about our users and customers.
How We Use and Share Collected Information

- PRIVACY POLICY: We may collect certain information about you and from your access to and use of the Services as described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms and describes our information collection, use, and sharing practices.
- PLATFORM PURPOSE AND LICENSE:
- Purpose: The Platform is intended only for use by owners of Equipment seeking to rent out that Equipment (“Owner(s)”) and companies looking to rent and use that Equipment (“Renter(s)”). Nothing on the Platform constitutes an offer, but an invitation to you to make an offer to rent Equipment through the Platform. All Equipment rentals are subject to acceptance by the applicable Owner. Any agreement between an Owner and a Renter with respect to the rental of Equipment will be solely between those two parties and must be pursuant to a written equipment rental agreement between those parties as further discussed below. Our Services are intended solely for persons who are 21 or older, except that we permit Renters age 18 and older to book Equipment through the Services. Any use of the Services by anyone who does not meet these age requirements is expressly prohibited.
- License: Provided you comply with these Terms, REPOWR hereby grants you a limited, nonexclusive, revocable, nonassignable, nontransferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Platform solely for your internal purposes to list and rent Equipment and, in any event, in accordance with all related documentation or restrictions posted on the Services or otherwise provided by REPOWR.
- Term: These Terms begin upon the earlier of (a) your creation of a REPOWR Account (as defined below) or (b) your first access to or use of the Services, and will continue in effect until termination in accordance with these Terms.
- Equipment Rental Agreements: Any agreement between an Owner and a Renter with respect to the rental of Equipment must be memorialized in a written agreement setting forth the terms applicable to the rental (“Equipment Rental Agreement(s)”). The Platform may provide Owners with access to one or more template Equipment Rental Agreements, which Owners may use at their sole discretion. Regardless of the source of any Equipment Rental Agreement document, each Equipment Rental Agreement must be provided to REPOWR once executed by both the Owner and Renter and must: specify the Equipment to be rented and the rental period; address the pick-up and return of the Equipment; state any applicable rental fees; impose appropriate obligations of Equipment care and maintenance on the Renter; and impose appropriate insurance coverage requirements on the Renter.
- PLATFORM ACCOUNTS:
- Account Registration: To access and use the Platform (including to list and rent Equipment), you must sign up for an account with us (a “REPOWR Account”) through the Services. You will be required to submit certain information to create your account and to list or rent Equipment, which information may be required to be submitted to us via email at documents@repowr.com. All information and documents emailed to documents@repowr.com must be sent from the email address associated with the sender’s REPOWR Account, must contain the sender’s name, and must contain the transaction number, if any, assigned by the Platform to the applicable Equipment rental transaction.
- Fees and Payment Terms: All amounts payable in connection with your access to or use of the Services, including but not limited to all Equipment rental fees, deposits, late fees, and payment processing fees, must be remitted through the Platform. Information about our collection and use of payment-related information is described in our Privacy Policy. If the credit or debit card or other payment information that you submit is incorrect or invalid, your payment will not be processed and any amounts due by you will remain due. We have no responsibility or liability if your credit or debit card is declined by your financial institution. Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor (ex. Stripe). All payment obligations under these Terms are nonrefundable. REPOWR retains the right to charge your Payment Method regularly, based upon terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, once the Equipment Rental Agreement is executed by both Owner and Renter.
- Verification: You may be required to provide certain types of information about yourself, your affiliates, and your Equipment, if applicable. We do not assume any responsibility for the confirmation of any Platform user’s identity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for fraud prevention purposes and to the extent permitted by law, REPOWR has the right, but not the obligation, to undertake screenings, checks, and processes designed to help verify or check the identities and/or backgrounds of Platform users (individuals and companies) and Equipment, including driving history and driver’s license validity, which may include REPOWR requests for forms of government identification, screening of users against third-party databases, and obtaining reports from public records of criminal convictions. REPOWR does not endorse any Equipment, Owner, or Renter, nor does REPOWR commit to undertake any specific screening process. REPOWR may in its sole discretion use third-party services to verify information provided and to obtain related information and corrections where applicable, and you hereby authorize REPOWR to request, receive, use, and store such information. Any references to a Platform user being “verified” or the equivalent indicates only that the user has completed a relevant verification or identification process made available by REPOWR and nothing else. REPOWR may accept or reject any listing of Equipment on the Platform in its sole and absolute discretion. REPOWR may, but does not commit to, undertake efforts to help ensure the safety of Equipment shared using the Services. We do not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse the safety or roadworthiness of any Equipment.
- Your Warranties and Commitments: You hereby represent and warrant (i) that you will always use your REPOWR Account and the Services in compliance with these Terms, applicable laws and regulations, and any policies and standards provided to you by REPOWR (including complying with all applicable local, state, and regulatory insurance rules and requirements concerning Equipment), (ii) that you have the authority to enter into these Terms, (iii) that you meet the above eligibility criteria, (iv) that you are under no contractual obligation that will interfere with your ability to perform under these Terms, (v) that the Services will not be accessed or used in any manner not permitted by these Terms, (vi) that all information you provide in connection with your access to and use of the Services is true, accurate, and complete to the best of your knowledge and belief, and (vii) that you will keep all such information up to date.
- Additional Terms: Your access to or use of certain features or functionality of the Services may be subject to additional terms, conditions, rules, or policies (together, “Additional Terms”). All applicable Additional Terms are incorporated by reference into these Terms.
- Violations of these Terms; Account Suspension, Deactivation, and Termination: REPOWR has the right, but not the obligation, to investigate, pursue, and seek to prosecute, litigate, or refer to law enforcement, violations of these Terms to the fullest extent permissible by the law. REPOWR reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, in accordance with applicable law, to remove or disable access to any content that REPOWR, at its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms, or otherwise harmful to the Services, Platform users, or our community, including deleting, delaying, or refusing to display Equipment listings or other content. If we believe you are abusing the Platform other Platform users, or REPOWR employees in any way or violating these Terms, we may, in our sole discretion and without limiting other remedies, limit, suspend, or terminate your REPOWR Account(s) and access to our Services, remove User Content (as defined below), remove or demote your listings, reduce or eliminate any discounts, and take technical and/or legal steps to prevent you from accessing or using our Services.
- Photography. REPOWR may offer Owners the option of having photographers, which may include Renters, take photographs of their Equipment, which photographs will be made available by the photographer to Owners to include in their Platform listings (“Images”). You are responsible for ensuring that your Equipment is accurately and fairly represented in the Images and you will stop using the Images if they no longer accurately and fairly represent your Equipment, if you stop listing the Equipment featured, or if your REPOWR Account is suspended or terminated for any reason. REPOWR will have the right to use any Images in accordance with the subsection for advertising, marketing, and/or any other business purposes in any media or platform, whether about your listings or otherwise, without further notice or compensation to you. Where REPOWR is not the exclusive owner of any Images, you hereby grant and agree to grant to REPOWR an exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, assignable, royalty-free, fully paid-up right and license, with the right to sublicense, to use such Images for advertising, marketing and/or any other business purposes in any media or platform, whether about your listings or otherwise, without further notice or compensation to you.
- REPOWR IS NOT A COMMERCIAL LEASING COMPANY: REPOWR does not own any transportation-related equipment and is not in the business of renting equipment to or from any person or entity. REPOWR only provides an online platform and marketplace where equipment owners and those in need of equipment can connect and share equipment among themselves subject to these Terms. REPOWR has no control over the conduct of any Owner, Renter, or third party.
- NO INSURANCE PROVIDED: You further acknowledge and agree that you will receive no protection, insurance coverage, or roadside assistance from REPOWR or its agents.
- NO EQUIPMENT SALE, TRANSFER, OR ASSIGNMENT: Renters and Owners agree that nothing in these Terms constitutes an actual or purported sale, transfer, or assignment of any right or interest in any Equipment.
- NO LEGAL ADVICE: We do not provide legal advice or legal services. Neither the Services nor REPOWR reviews agreements between you and any third parties (including those between Owners and Renters), nor any documents submitted via or in connection with the Platform, for legal sufficiency, performs any cost-benefit analyses, draws legal conclusions, provides legal advice, opinions, or recommendations, nor addresses or mediates any disputes amongst Platform users. Additionally, any template or form documents (including equipment rental agreements) provided on or through the Services are examples only and are made available only for users’ reference purposes. You understand that you are not required to use any such template or form documents. All Platform users are strongly discouraged from using any such template or form documents without having such documents reviewed by such party’s legal counsel.
- ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO OWNERS:
- Ownership: Owner represents and warrants that it is the owner and title owner of any and all Equipment it lists on the Platform or has the full unencumbered legal right to list such Equipment and enter into Equipment Rental Agreements concerning that Equipment. To the extent authorization to list Equipment or enter into Equipment Rental Agreements is required from any third party, Owner represents and warrants that it has obtained such authorization in writing.

You further commit to treat all Equipment with care, to use and operate Equipment solely within its rated capacities, to use and operate the Equipment only within the continental United States, and to take all reasonable measures to return Equipment on time and in the same condition as when received. Renter will not make any alterations or modifications to the Equipment. In no event will Renter use or permit any Equipment to be used for the transportation of passengers.

- Reimbursement of Fuel, Highway Use, and Mileage Taxes: If applicable, the mileage rate is intended to cover the costs of fuel, highway use, and mileage taxes during the terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, provided Renter complies with all terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, including any use restrictions. Notwithstanding, Renter must provide all necessary documentation pursuant to Paragraph 10.b above, and shall be subject to the surcharge therein and/or other fines and penalties, if Renter fails to provide all required documentation or fails to comply with all applicable terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, including any use restrictions.

If your failure to pay any of the above items results in an outstanding charge, claim, or lien involving any Equipment or another vehicle listed herein, then REPOWR or Owner may settle such, and you shall promptly pay REPOWR or Owner the full amount of such settlement, any related costs.
- Placarding: In the event any Equipment is operated or leased by Renter for a period equal to or over 30 days, Renter must identify the vehicle in compliance with federal and state regulations.

REPOWR reserves the right to require a Renter to submit a valid certificate of insurance or proof of insurance to REPOWR as a condition of renting or taking possession of any Equipment. To the extent Renter obtains insurance to cover liability for rented Equipment, that insurance will be primary in all respects.
- Use of Equipment: When you book Equipment through the Platform, you must use the Equipment only for your proper business use. Public livery or transport of passengers is strictly prohibited.

- State Laws Regarding Rental Vehicle Theft: It is a felony in most jurisdictions to fail to return a rental vehicle within a certain period after the rental period has expired. The following conduct may result in the reporting of the Equipment you have booked as stolen to law enforcement, possibly subjecting you and any other driver to arrest, civil and/or criminal penalties, and the voiding of your insurance coverage:
- If you fail to return Equipment at the time and place agreed upon with the Owner;
- If you do not return the Equipment by the end of the rental period and you have not properly obtained an extension of the rental from the Owner;
- If the Equipment is returned to any place other than the return location specified in the Equipment Rental Agreement; any damage to, or loss or theft of, Equipment occurring before the Owner accepts the return of the equipment is the Renter’s responsibility;
- If you misrepresent facts to the Owner pertaining to the booking, use, or operation of any Equipment;
- If any Equipment’s interior components or contents are stolen or damaged or the Equipment itself is stolen or damaged when left unlocked, running, or unattended with the keys not secured;
- If you fail or refuse to communicate in good faith with the Equipment’s Owner, police, or other authorities with a full report of any accident or vandalism involving the Equipment or otherwise fail to cooperate in the investigation of any accident or vandalism; or
- If Equipment is operated by anyone who has given a fictitious name, false address, or a false or invalid driver’s license; whose driver’s license becomes invalid during the rental period; who has obtained the keys without permission of the Owner; or who misrepresents facts to or withholds facts from the Owner material to the booking, use or operation of any Equipment.
- Termination of Equipment Rental Agreement: Renters have the right to terminate any active Equipment Rental Agreement by giving both REPOWR and the Owner at least 72 hours' notice. Whether You or the Owner terminates an Equipment Rental Agreement, You must coordinate the return of the Equipment with the Owner and return the specified Equipment within 72 hours of notification from the Owner.

Regardless of the source of any Equipment Rental Agreement document, each Equipment Rental Agreement must be provided to REPOWR once executed by both the Owner and Renter and must: specify the Equipment to be rented and the rental period; address the pick-up and return of the Equipment; state the applicable rental fees; impose appropriate obligations of Equipment care and maintenance on the Renter; and impose appropriate insurance coverage requirements on the Renter.
- PLATFORM ACCOUNTS:
- Account Registration: To access and use the Platform (including to list and rent Equipment), you must sign up for an account with us (a “REPOWR Account”) through the Services. You will be required to submit certain information to create your account and to list or rent Equipment, which information may be required to be submitted to us via email at documents@repowr.com. All information and documents emailed to documents@repowr.com must be sent from the email address associated with the sender’s REPOWR Account, must contain the sender’s name, and must contain the transaction number, if any, assigned by the Platform to the applicable Equipment rental transaction.
- Fees and Payment Terms: All amounts payable in connection with your access to or use of the Services, including but not limited to all Equipment rental fees, deposits, late fees, and payment processing fees, must be remitted through the Platform. Information about our collection and use of payment-related information is described in our Privacy Policy. If the credit or debit card or other payment information that you submit is incorrect or invalid, your payment will not be processed and any amounts due by you will remain due. We have no responsibility or liability if your credit or debit card is declined by your financial institution. Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor (ex. Stripe). All payment obligations under these Terms are nonrefundable. REPOWR retains the right to charge your Payment Method regularly, based upon terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, once the Equipment Rental Agreement is executed by both Owner and Renter.
- Verification: You may be required to provide certain types of information about yourself, your affiliates, and your Equipment, if applicable. We do not assume any responsibility for the confirmation of any Platform user’s identity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for fraud prevention purposes and to the extent permitted by law, REPOWR has the right, but not the obligation, to undertake screenings, checks, and processes designed to help verify or check the identities and/or backgrounds of Platform users (individuals and companies) and Equipment, including driving history and driver’s license validity, which may include REPOWR requests for forms of government identification, screening of users against third-party databases, and obtaining reports from public records of criminal convictions. REPOWR does not endorse any Equipment, Owner, or Renter, nor does REPOWR commit to undertake any specific screening process. REPOWR may in its sole discretion use third-party services to verify information provided and to obtain related information and corrections where applicable, and you hereby authorize REPOWR to request, receive, use, and store such information. Any references to a Platform user being “verified” or the equivalent indicates only that the user has completed a relevant verification or identification process made available by REPOWR and nothing else. REPOWR may accept or reject any listing of Equipment on the Platform in its sole and absolute discretion. REPOWR may, but does not commit to, undertake efforts to help ensure the safety of Equipment shared using the Services. We do not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse the safety or roadworthiness of any Equipment.

- Photography. REPOWR may offer Owners the option of having photographers, which may include Renters, take photographs of their Equipment, which photographs will be made available by the photographer to Owners to include in their Platform listings (“Images”). You are responsible for ensuring that your Equipment is accurately and fairly represented in the Images and you will stop using the Images if they no longer accurately and fairly represent your Equipment, if you stop listing the Equipment featured, or if your REPOWR Account is suspended or terminated for any reason. REPOWR will have the right to use any Images in accordance with the subsection for advertising, marketing, and/or any other business purposes in any media or platform, whether about your listings or otherwise, without further notice or compensation to you. Where REPOWR is not the exclusive owner of any Images, you hereby grant and agree to grant to REPOWR an exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, assignable, royalty-free, fully paid-up right and license, with the right to sublicense, to use such Images for advertising, marketing and/or any other business purposes in any media or platform, whether about your listings or otherwise, without further notice or compensation to you.
- REPOWR IS NOT A COMMERCIAL LEASING COMPANY: REPOWR does not own any transportation-related equipment and is not in the business of renting equipment to or from any person or entity.

Additionally, any template or form documents (including equipment rental agreements) provided on or through the Services are examples only and are made available only for users’ reference purposes.

- Authority: An Owner must have, maintain, and be current on any and all motor carrier authority(ies) required by federal, state, and/or local laws or regulations to register for a REPOWR Account or to list Equipment on the Platform. For any operations conducted by an Owner not required under applicable law or regulation to have motor carrier authority, or for which only limited motor carrier authority is required, REPOWR may, in its sole discretion, limit the types of operations permitted under or in connection with the Platform, including without limitation by imposing limits on the size of Equipment permitted to be listed on the Platform.

You further commit that you will provide rented Equipment on time to the Renter and that you will fully comply with each Equipment Rental Agreement. You will not list any Equipment that may not be shared for compensation under the terms and conditions of an agreement with a third party, including, but not limited to, a lease, rental, or financing agreement.

You further commit to treat all Equipment with care, to use and operate Equipment solely within its rated capacities, to use and operate the Equipment only within the continental United States, and to take all reasonable measures to return Equipment on time and in the same condition as when received. Renter will not make any alterations or modifications to the Equipment. In no event will Renter use or permit any Equipment to be used for the transportation of passengers. Renter will only permit qualified and trained personnel, licensed where required by law, to use the Equipment. You will allow only authorized personnel to operate Equipment that you have booked. You will not leave any Equipment unlocked or running or unattended with undeterred key access.

- Reimbursement of Fuel, Highway Use, and Mileage Taxes: If applicable, the mileage rate is intended to cover the costs of fuel, highway use, and mileage taxes during the terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, provided Renter complies with all terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, including any use restrictions. Notwithstanding, Renter must provide all necessary documentation pursuant to Paragraph 10.b above, and shall be subject to the surcharge therein and/or other fines and penalties, if Renter fails to provide all required documentation or fails to comply with all applicable terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, including any use restrictions.

If your failure to pay any of the above items results in an outstanding charge, claim, or lien involving any Equipment or another vehicle listed herein, then REPOWR or Owner may settle such, and you shall promptly pay REPOWR or Owner the full amount of such settlement, any related costs.
- Placarding: In the event any Equipment is operated or leased by Renter for a period equal to or over 30 days, Renter must identify the vehicle in compliance with federal and state regulations.

Renter agrees to procure and maintain all insurance coverage appropriate in connection with its rental or use of any Equipment, including all insurance required by the applicable Equipment Rental Agreement. REPOWR reserves the right to require a Renter to submit a valid certificate of insurance or proof of insurance to REPOWR as a condition of renting or taking possession of any Equipment. To the extent Renter obtains insurance to cover liability for rented Equipment, that insurance will be primary in all respects.

- State Laws Regarding Rental Vehicle Theft: It is a felony in most jurisdictions to fail to return a rental vehicle within a certain period after the rental period has expired. The following conduct may result in the reporting of the Equipment you have booked as stolen to law enforcement, possibly subjecting you and any other driver to arrest, civil and/or criminal penalties, and the voiding of your insurance coverage:
- If you fail to return Equipment at the time and place agreed upon with the Owner;
- If you do not return the Equipment by the end of the rental period and you have not properly obtained an extension of the rental from the Owner;
- If the Equipment is returned to any place other than the return location specified in the Equipment Rental Agreement; any damage to, or loss or theft of, Equipment occurring before the Owner accepts the return of the equipment is the Renter’s responsibility;

- If any Equipment’s interior components or contents are stolen or damaged or the Equipment itself is stolen or damaged when left unlocked, running, or unattended with the keys not secured;
- If you fail or refuse to communicate in good faith with the Equipment’s Owner, police, or other authorities with a full report of any accident or vandalism involving the Equipment or otherwise fail to cooperate in the investigation of any accident or vandalism; or
- If Equipment is operated by anyone who has given a fictitious name, false address, or a false or invalid driver’s license; whose driver’s license becomes invalid during the rental period; who has obtained the keys without permission of the Owner; or who misrepresents facts to or withholds facts from the Owner material to the booking, use or operation of any Equipment.
- Termination of Equipment Rental Agreement: Renters have the right to terminate any active Equipment Rental Agreement by giving both REPOWR and the Owner at least 72 hours' notice. Whether You or the Owner terminates an Equipment Rental Agreement, You must coordinate the return of the Equipment with the Owner and return the specified Equipment within 72 hours of notification from the Owner.

- OFF-PLATFORM POLICY:
- Prohibitions:
- Taking people off the REPOWR platform for new, partial, or future reservations;
- Contacting potential renters or owners before reserving asset(s) on REPOWR to move the reservation off of REPOWR (ex: offering discounts to book off of REPOWR);
- Asking renters to fill out forms, or call, email, or otherwise contact you via a non-REPOWR communications service before accepting reservation requests;
- Canceling existing full or partial reservations and having renters rebook off of REPOWR Platform;
- Asking or encouraging renters or owners to book outside of REPOWR for repeat or future reservations;
- Including links or embedding buttons (ex: footers, headers) that take people off of REPOWR Platform to another website in any messages to renters;
- Asking users for, or using, contact or identity information in ways unrelated to their reservation, or that compromise the quality of their rental;
- Asking users for contact information before booking; all communications before a reservation must be on the REPOWR Platform;
- Soliciting users for their email, mailing address, or other communications channels using the REPOWR messaging system or email alias after a reservation;
- Asking renters for contact information after a reservation to run credit checks or background checks;

- You may not ask renters to review a REPOWR reservation on a non-REPOWR website or fill out a survey regarding a REPOWR reservation on a non-REPOWR website (such as a form off of REPOWR) unless you are an approved leasing company partner. These actions take valuable input about a renter’s reservation away from the REPOWR community. We want renters to share their feedback directly on REPOWR so that other renters may benefit from their insights.
- Using contact information provided by REPOWR for other purposes that violate our Terms of Service; and
- Selling, sharing, or using users’ contact information for marketing communications or signing renters up for contact lists.

- PLATFORM PURPOSE AND LICENSE:
- Purpose: The Platform is intended only for useby owners of transportation-related equipment (“Equipment”) seeking to rent out that Equipment (“Owner(s)”) and companies looking to rent and use that Equipment (“Renter(s)”). Nothing on the Platform constitutes an offer, but an invitation to you to make an offer to rent Equipment through the Platform. All Equipment rentals are subject to acceptance by the applicable Owner.Any agreement between an Owner and a Renter with respect to the rental of Equipment will be solely between those two parties and must be pursuant to a written equipment rental agreement between those parties as further discussed below. Our Services are intended solely for persons who are 21 or older, except that we permit Renters age 18 and older to book Equipment through the Services. Any use of the Services by anyone who does not meet these age requirements is expressly prohibited.
- License: Provided you comply with these Terms, REPOWR hereby grants you a limited, nonexclusive, revocable, nonassignable, nontransferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Platform solely for your internal purposes to list and rent Equipment and, in any event, in accordance with all related documentation or restrictions posted on the Services or otherwise provided by REPOWR.
- Term: These Terms begin upon the earlier of (a) your creation of a REPOWR Account (as defined below) or (b) your first access to or use of the Services, and will continue in effect until termination in accordance with these Terms.
- Equipment Rental Agreements: Any agreement between an Owner and a Renter with respect to the rental of Equipment must be memorialized in a written agreement setting forth the terms applicable to the rental (“EquipmentRental Agreement(s)”). The Platform may provide Owners with access to one or more template Equipment Rental Agreements, which Owners may use at their sole discretion. Regardless of the source of any Equipment Rental Agreement document, each Equipment Rental Agreement must be provided to REPOWR once executed by both the Owner and Renter and must: specify the Equipment to be rented and the rental period; address the pick-up and return of the Equipment; state the applicable rental fees; impose appropriate obligations of Equipment care and maintenance on the Renter; and impose appropriate insurance coverage requirements on the Renter.
- PLATFORM ACCOUNTS:
- Account Registration: To access and use the Platform (including to list and rent Equipment), you must sign up for an account with us (a “REPOWR Account”) through the Services. You will be required to submit certain information to create your account and to list or rent Equipment, which information may be required to be submitted to us via email at documents@repowr.com. All information and documents emailed to documents@repowr.com must be sent from the email address associated with the sender’s REPOWR Account, must contain the sender’s name, and must contain the transaction number, if any, assigned by the Platform to the applicable Equipment rental transaction.

- If you do not return the Equipment by the end of the rental period and you have not properly obtained an extension of the rental from the Owner;

- Contacting potential renters or owners before reserving asset(s) on REPOWR to move the reservation off of REPOWR (ex: offering discounts to book off of REPOWR);
- Asking renters to fill out forms, or call, email, or otherwise contact you via a non-REPOWR communications service before accepting reservation requests;
- Canceling existing full or partial reservations and having renters rebook off of REPOWR Platform;

In such instances, Owners must include information about what is required and why in their listing description, so renters understand this additional step is a requirement before booking. Owners are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable data privacy laws;
- After accepting a reservation, you may ask a renter or owner to confirm that the contact information provided by REPOWR is an appropriate way to get in touch during their lease or if the renter requests an alternative or communication after a reservation has been initiated; and

- Equipment Rental Agreements: Any agreement between an Owner and a Renter with respect to the rental of Equipment must be memorialized in a written agreement setting forth the terms applicable to the rental (“EquipmentRental Agreement(s)”). The Platform may provide Owners with access to one or more template Equipment Rental Agreements, which Owners may use at their sole discretion. Regardless of the source of any Equipment Rental Agreement document, each Equipment Rental Agreement must be provided to REPOWR once executed by both the Owner and Renter and must: specify the Equipment to be rented and the rental period; address the pick-up and return of the Equipment; state the applicable rental fees; impose appropriate obligations of Equipment care and maintenance on the Renter; and impose appropriate insurance coverage requirements on the Renter.

You will not access or use any Equipment until the beginning of the applicable rental period and you must return all Equipment on time and to the correct location. You must present the Owner with a current, valid driver’s license. You must exercise reasonable care in your use of all Equipment. You are required at all times to operate Equipment safely and in compliance with all applicable laws, including without limitation speed limits and prohibitions on impaired or distracted driving. You are required to wear seat belts during the operation of any Equipment and to require that any and all other occupants of the Equipment wear seat belts.
- State Laws Regarding Rental Vehicle Theft: It is a felony in most jurisdictions to fail to return a rental vehicle within a certain period after the rental period has expired. The following conduct may result in the reporting of the Equipment you have booked as stolen to law enforcement, possibly subjecting you and any other driver to arrest, civil and/or criminal penalties, and the voiding of your insurance coverage:
- If you fail to return Equipment at the time and place agreed upon with the Owner;
- If you do not return the Equipment by the end of the rental period and you have not properly obtained an extension of the rental from the Owner;
- If the Equipment is returned to any place other than the return location specified in the Equipment Rental Agreement; any damage to, or loss or theft of, Equipment occurring before the Owner accepts the return of the equipment is the Renter’s responsibility;
- If you misrepresent facts to the Owner pertaining to the booking, use, or operation of any Equipment;
- If any Equipment’s interior components or contents are stolen or damaged or the Equipment itself is stolen or damaged when left unlocked, running, or unattended with the keys not secured;
- If you fail or refuse to communicate in good faith with the Equipment’s Owner, police, or other authorities with a full report of any accident or vandalism involving the Equipment or otherwise fail to cooperate in the investigation of any accident or vandalism; or
- If Equipment is operated by anyone who has given a fictitious name, false address, or a false or invalid driver’s license; whose driver’s license becomes invalid during the rental period; who has obtained the keys without permission of the Owner; or who misrepresents facts to or withholds facts from the Owner material to the booking, use or operation of any Equipment.
- Termination of Equipment Rental Agreement: Renters have the right to terminate any active Equipment Rental Agreement by giving both REPOWR and the Owner at least 72 hours' notice. Whether You or the Owner terminates an Equipment Rental Agreement, You must coordinate the return of the Equipment with the Owner and return the specified Equipment within 72 hours of notification from the Owner. As the Renter, if you do not fulfill the termination request of the Owner and the Equipment is not returned within 72 hours, you will be charged late fees for each day the Equipment is not returned to the Owner at a specified location.

In such instances, Owners must include information about what is required and why in their listing description, so renters understand this additional step is a requirement before booking. Owners are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable data privacy laws;

- Equipment Rental Agreements: Any agreement between an Owner and a Renter with respect to the rental of Equipment must be memorialized in a written agreement setting forth the terms applicable to the rental (“EquipmentRental Agreement(s)”). The Platform may provide Owners with access to one or more template Equipment Rental Agreements, which Owners may use at their sole discretion. Regardless of the source of any Equipment Rental Agreement document, each Equipment Rental Agreement must be provided to REPOWR once executed by both the Owner and Renter and must: specify the Equipment to be rented and the rental period; address the pick-up and return of the Equipment; state the applicable rental fees; impose appropriate obligations of Equipment care and maintenance on the Renter; and impose appropriate insurance coverage requirements on the Renter.

You are responsible for complying with all applicable legal requirements and for maintaining your listed Equipment in safe and roadworthy condition. Owners are required to complete a visual inspection before the commencement of any rental period. If you find damage in your initial inspection, you should take photographs of such pre-existing damage before the start of any rental period and send them to documents@repowr.com for recordkeeping purposes. You further commit that you will provide rented Equipment on time to the Renter and that you will fully comply with each Equipment Rental Agreement.

- Claims and Collections: In the event of any dispute, claim, or non-payment arising from a lease transaction conducted on the Platform, it is expressly understood that you alone shall be responsible for pursuing and handling such matters.
- Equipment Availability: Once an Equipment Rental Agreement is entered into, you must make the applicable Equipment available for use by, and otherwise comply with, the Equipment Rental Agreement. If you offer the Renter the option to pick up your Equipment at a specified location, you must supply the location of the Equipment accurately and ensure that the Equipment is available at that location at the beginning of the rental period.
- Termination of Equipment Rental Agreement: Owners have the right to terminate any Equipment Rental Agreement by giving both REPOWR and the Renter at least 72 hours' notice. You must coordinate the return of the Equipment with the Renter if the Renter has already taken possession of the Equipment.

You further commit to treat all Equipment with care, to use and operate Equipment solely within its rated capacities, to use and operate the Equipment only within the continental United States, and to take all reasonable measures to return Equipment on time and in the same condition as when received. Renter will not make any alterations or modifications to the Equipment. In no event will Renter use or permit any Equipment to be used for the transportation of passengers.

Additionally, Renter will pay, promptly when due, such taxes for which Renter is liable under any Equipment Rental Agreement, including without limitation fuel taxes and mileage taxes.

- Reimbursement of Fuel, Highway Use, and Mileage Taxes: If applicable, the mileage rate is intended to cover the costs of fuel, highway use, and mileage taxes during the terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, provided Renter complies with all terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, including any use restrictions. Notwithstanding, Renter must provide all necessary documentation pursuant to Paragraph 10.b above, and shall be subject to the surcharge therein and/or other fines and penalties, if Renter fails to provide all required documentation or fails to comply with all applicable terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, including any use restrictions.

If your failure to pay any of the above items results in an outstanding charge, claim, or lien involving any Equipment or another vehicle listed herein, then REPOWR or Owner may settle such, and you shall promptly pay REPOWR or Owner the full amount of such settlement, any related costs.
- Placarding: In the event any Equipment is operated or leased by Renter for a period equal to or over 30 days, Renter must identify the vehicle in compliance with federal and state regulations.

REPOWR reserves the right to require a Renter to submit a valid certificate of insurance or proof of insurance to REPOWR as a condition of renting or taking possession of any Equipment. To the extent Renter obtains insurance to cover liability for rented Equipment, that insurance will be primary in all respects.
- Use of Equipment: When you book Equipment through the Platform, you must use the Equipment only for your proper business use. Public livery or transport of passengers is strictly prohibited.

- State Laws Regarding Rental Vehicle Theft: It is a felony in most jurisdictions to fail to return a rental vehicle within a certain period after the rental period has expired. The following conduct may result in the reporting of the Equipment you have booked as stolen to law enforcement, possibly subjecting you and any other driver to arrest, civil and/or criminal penalties, and the voiding of your insurance coverage:
- If you fail to return Equipment at the time and place agreed upon with the Owner;
- If you do not return the Equipment by the end of the rental period and you have not properly obtained an extension of the rental from the Owner;
- If the Equipment is returned to any place other than the return location specified in the Equipment Rental Agreement; any damage to, or loss or theft of, Equipment occurring before the Owner accepts the return of the equipment is the Renter’s responsibility;
- If you misrepresent facts to the Owner pertaining to the booking, use, or operation of any Equipment;
- If any Equipment’s interior components or contents are stolen or damaged or the Equipment itself is stolen or damaged when left unlocked, running, or unattended with the keys not secured;
- If you fail or refuse to communicate in good faith with the Equipment’s Owner, police, or other authorities with a full report of any accident or vandalism involving the Equipment or otherwise fail to cooperate in the investigation of any accident or vandalism; or
- If Equipment is operated by anyone who has given a fictitious name, false address, or a false or invalid driver’s license; whose driver’s license becomes invalid during the rental period; who has obtained the keys without permission of the Owner; or who misrepresents facts to or withholds facts from the Owner material to the booking, use or operation of any Equipment.
- Termination of Equipment Rental Agreement: Renters have the right to terminate any active Equipment Rental Agreement by giving both REPOWR and the Owner at least 72 hours' notice. Whether You or the Owner terminates an Equipment Rental Agreement, You must coordinate the return of the Equipment with the Owner and return the specified Equipment within 72 hours of notification from the Owner.

Owners are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable data privacy laws;

REPOWR will have the right to use any Images in accordance with the subsection for advertising, marketing, and/or any other business purposes in any media or platform, whether about your listings or otherwise, without further notice or compensation to you.

Notwithstanding, Renter must provide all necessary documentation pursuant to Paragraph 10.b above, and shall be subject to the surcharge therein and/or other fines and penalties, if Renter fails to provide all required documentation or fails to comply with all applicable terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, including any use restrictions.

To the extent Renter obtains insurance to cover liability for rented Equipment, that insurance will be primary in all respects.

- State Laws Regarding Rental Vehicle Theft: It is a felony in most jurisdictions to fail to return a rental vehicle within a certain period after the rental period has expired. The following conduct may result in the reporting of the Equipment you have booked as stolen to law enforcement, possibly subjecting you and any other driver to arrest, civil and/or criminal penalties, and the voiding of your insurance coverage:
- If you fail to return Equipment at the time and place agreed upon with the Owner;
- If you do not return the Equipment by the end of the rental period and you have not properly obtained an extension of the rental from the Owner;
- If the Equipment is returned to any place other than the return location specified in the Equipment Rental Agreement; any damage to, or loss or theft of, Equipment occurring before the Owner accepts the return of the equipment is the Renter’s responsibility;

- If any Equipment’s interior components or contents are stolen or damaged or the Equipment itself is stolen or damaged when left unlocked, running, or unattended with the keys not secured;
- If you fail or refuse to communicate in good faith with the Equipment’s Owner, police, or other authorities with a full report of any accident or vandalism involving the Equipment or otherwise fail to cooperate in the investigation of any accident or vandalism; or
- If Equipment is operated by anyone who has given a fictitious name, false address, or a false or invalid driver’s license; whose driver’s license becomes invalid during the rental period; who has obtained the keys without permission of the Owner; or who misrepresents facts to or withholds facts from the Owner material to the booking, use or operation of any Equipment.

Whether You or the Owner terminates an Equipment Rental Agreement, You must coordinate the return of the Equipment with the Owner and return the specified Equipment within 72 hours of notification from the Owner. As the Renter, if you do not fulfill the termination request of the Owner and the Equipment is not returned within 72 hours, you will be charged late fees for each day the Equipment is not returned to the Owner at a specified location.

- OFF-PLATFORM POLICY:
- Prohibitions:
- Taking people off the REPOWR platform for new, partial, or future reservations;
- Contacting potential renters or owners before reserving asset(s) on REPOWR to move the reservation off of REPOWR (ex: offering discounts to book off of REPOWR);
- Asking renters to fill out forms, or call, email, or otherwise contact you via a non-REPOWR communications service before accepting reservation requests;
- Canceling existing full or partial reservations and having renters rebook off of REPOWR Platform;
- Asking or encouraging renters or owners to book outside of REPOWR for repeat or future reservations;
- Including links or embedding buttons (ex: footers, headers) that take people off of REPOWR Platform to another website in any messages to renters;
- Asking users for, or using, contact or identity information in ways unrelated to their reservation, or that compromise the quality of their rental;
- Asking users for contact information before booking; all communications before a reservation must be on the REPOWR Platform;
- Soliciting users for their email, mailing address, or other communications channels using the REPOWR messaging system or email alias after a reservation;
- Asking renters for contact information after a reservation to run credit checks or background checks;
- Asking renters to send photos of their government ID before arrival except where required for legal or compliance reasons as outlined in this Agreement;
- Asking for or using users’ contact information to settle additional payments outside of REPWOR’s platform; all payments related to a reservation, including extensions of a lease terms (and besides exceptions identified below), must go through REPOWR (ex: using the Resolution Center);
- You may not ask renters to review a REPOWR reservation on a non-REPOWR website or fill out a survey regarding a REPOWR reservation on a non-REPOWR website (such as a form off of REPOWR) unless you are an approved leasing company partner. These actions take valuable input about a renter’s reservation away from the REPOWR community. We want renters to share their feedback directly on REPOWR so that other renters may benefit from their insights.
- Using contact information provided by REPOWR for other purposes that violate our Terms of Service; and
- Selling, sharing, or using users’ contact information for marketing communications or signing renters up for contact lists.
- Prohibitions:
- Exceptions:
- You may require additional contact/identity information if it is required for legal or compliance reasons and can be verified by an Owner upon request by REPOWR (such as local laws, HOS rules, DOT rules, FMCSA rules, and facility security rules). In such instances, Owners must include information about what is required and why in their listing description, so renters understand this additional step is a requirement before booking. Owners are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable data privacy laws;
- After accepting a reservation, you may ask a renter or owner to confirm that the contact information provided by REPOWR is an appropriate way to get in touch during their lease or if the renter requests an alternative or communication after a reservation has been initiated; and
- You may use an alternative means of communicating with a renter or owner if requested by either user after booking (ex: chat app), however, you must ensure such communications comply with the other requirements of this policy.
- GENERAL:
- No Agency: REPOWR is an independent contractor.

- PLATFORM PURPOSE AND LICENSE:
- Purpose: The Platform is intended only for useby owners of transportation-related equipment (“Equipment”) seeking to rent out that Equipment (“Owner(s)”) and companies looking to rent and use that Equipment (“Renter(s)”). Nothing on the Platform constitutes an offer, but an invitation to you to make an offer to rent Equipment through the Platform. All Equipment rentals are subject to acceptance by the applicable Owner.Any agreement between an Owner and a Renter with respect to the rental of Equipment will be solely between those two parties and must be pursuant to a written equipment rental agreement between those parties as further discussed below. Our Services are intended solely for persons who are 21 or older, except that we permit Renters age 18 and older to book Equipment through the Services. Any use of the Services by anyone who does not meet these age requirements is expressly prohibited.
- License: Provided you comply with these Terms, REPOWR hereby grants you a limited, nonexclusive, revocable, nonassignable, nontransferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Platform solely for your internal purposes to list and rent Equipment and, in any event, in accordance with all related documentation or restrictions posted on the Services or otherwise provided by REPOWR.
- Term: These Terms begin upon the earlier of (a) your creation of a REPOWR Account (as defined below) or (b) your first access to or use of the Services, and will continue in effect until termination in accordance with these Terms.
- Equipment Rental Agreements: Any agreement between an Owner and a Renter with respect to the rental of Equipment must be memorialized in a written agreement setting forth the terms applicable to the rental (“EquipmentRental Agreement(s)”). The Platform may provide Owners with access to one or more template Equipment Rental Agreements, which Owners may use at their sole discretion. Regardless of the source of any Equipment Rental Agreement document, each Equipment Rental Agreement must be provided to REPOWR once executed by both the Owner and Renter and must: specify the Equipment to be rented and the rental period; address the pick-up and return of the Equipment; state the applicable rental fees; impose appropriate obligations of Equipment care and maintenance on the Renter; and impose appropriate insurance coverage requirements on the Renter.
- PLATFORM ACCOUNTS:
- Account Registration: To access and use the Platform (including to list and rent Equipment), you must sign up for an account with us (a “REPOWR Account”) through the Services. You will be required to submit certain information to create your account and to list or rent Equipment, which information may be required to be submitted to us via email at documents@repowr.com. All information and documents emailed to documents@repowr.com must be sent from the email address associated with the sender’s REPOWR Account, must contain the sender’s name, and must contain the transaction number, if any, assigned by the Platform to the applicable Equipment rental transaction.

- State Laws Regarding Rental Vehicle Theft: It is a felony in most jurisdictions to fail to return a rental vehicle within a certain period after the rental period has expired. The following conduct may result in the reporting of the Equipment you have booked as stolen to law enforcement, possibly subjecting you and any other driver to arrest, civil and/or criminal penalties, and the voiding of your insurance coverage:
- If you fail to return Equipment at the time and place agreed upon with the Owner;
- If you do not return the Equipment by the end of the rental period and you have not properly obtained an extension of the rental from the Owner;

- If any Equipment’s interior components or contents are stolen or damaged or the Equipment itself is stolen or damaged when left unlocked, running, or unattended with the keys not secured;

- If Equipment is operated by anyone who has given a fictitious name, false address, or a false or invalid driver’s license; whose driver’s license becomes invalid during the rental period; who has obtained the keys without permission of the Owner; or who misrepresents facts to or withholds facts from the Owner material to the booking, use or operation of any Equipment.

- OFF-PLATFORM POLICY:
- Prohibitions:
- Taking people off the REPOWR platform for new, partial, or future reservations;
- Contacting potential renters or owners before reserving asset(s) on REPOWR to move the reservation off of REPOWR (ex: offering discounts to book off of REPOWR);
- Asking renters to fill out forms, or call, email, or otherwise contact you via a non-REPOWR communications service before accepting reservation requests;
- Canceling existing full or partial reservations and having renters rebook off of REPOWR Platform;
- Asking or encouraging renters or owners to book outside of REPOWR for repeat or future reservations;
- Including links or embedding buttons (ex: footers, headers) that take people off of REPOWR Platform to another website in any messages to renters;
- Asking users for, or using, contact or identity information in ways unrelated to their reservation, or that compromise the quality of their rental;
- Asking users for contact information before booking; all communications before a reservation must be on the REPOWR Platform;
- Soliciting users for their email, mailing address, or other communications channels using the REPOWR messaging system or email alias after a reservation;

- You may not ask renters to review a REPOWR reservation on a non-REPOWR website or fill out a survey regarding a REPOWR reservation on a non-REPOWR website (such as a form off of REPOWR) unless you are an approved leasing company partner.

In such instances, Owners must include information about what is required and why in their listing description, so renters understand this additional step is a requirement before booking. Owners are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable data privacy laws;
- After accepting a reservation, you may ask a renter or owner to confirm that the contact information provided by REPOWR is an appropriate way to get in touch during their lease or if the renter requests an alternative or communication after a reservation has been initiated; and
- You may use an alternative means of communicating with a renter or owner if requested by either user after booking (ex: chat app), however, you must ensure such communications comply with the other requirements of this policy.

Terms of Service
Last updated: September 15, 2023
Please read these Terms of Service (these “Terms”) carefully as they contain important information regarding your legal rights, remedies, and obligations, including various limitations and exclusions on our liability, a clause that governs the jurisdiction and venue of disputes, and obligations on you to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
REPOWR, INC (collectively with its affiliates, “REPOWR”, “we”, “us,” or “our”), provides an online asset-sharing platform that connects owners of certain vehicles, trailers, and other transportation-related equipment with those seeking to book that equipment (the “Platform”). The Platform and all related websites, services, content, documentation, and underlying technology, including all updates, upgrades, improvements, bug fixes, and other modifications to the same, are collectively referred to as the “Services.”
By accessing or using the Services, including by communicating with us or other REPOWR users, or by entering into any agreement with REPOWR that governs your access to or use of the Services, you agree on behalf of yourself and any company or organization that you represent (together, “you”) that you have read and understand and agree to comply with, and be legally bound by, the provisions of these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms or our Privacy Policy, do not access or use the Services.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify these Terms at any time. If we modify these Terms, we will post the modification on our Services or otherwise communicate them to you. By continuing to access or use our Services after we have posted a modification or have provided you with notice of a modification, you agree to be bound by the modified Terms.

- PRIVACY POLICY: We may collect certain information about you and from your access to and use of the Services as described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms and describes our information collection, use, and sharing practices.
- PLATFORM PURPOSE AND LICENSE:
- Purpose: The Platform is intended only for use by owners of transportation-related equipment (“Equipment”) seeking to rent out that Equipment (“Owner(s)”) and companies looking to rent and use that Equipment (“Renter(s)”). Nothing on the Platform constitutes an offer, but an invitation to you to make an offer to rent Equipment through the Platform. All Equipment rentals are subject to acceptance by the applicable Owner. Any agreement between an Owner and a Renter with respect to the rental of Equipment will be solely between those two parties and must be pursuant to a written equipment rental agreement between those parties as further discussed below. Our Services are intended solely for persons who are 21 or older, except that we permit Renters age 18 and older to book Equipment through the Services. Any use of the Services by anyone that does not meet these age requirements is expressly prohibited.
- License: Provided you comply with these Terms, REPOWR hereby grants you a limited, nonexclusive, revocable, nonassignable, nontransferable, nonsublicensable license to access and use the Platform solely for your internal purposes to list and rent Equipment and, in any event, in accordance with all related documentation or restrictions posted on the Services or otherwise provided by REPOWR.
- Term: These Terms begin upon the earlier of (a) your creation of a REPOWR Account (as defined below) or (b) your first access to or use of the Services, and will continue in effect until termination in accordance with these Terms.
- Equipment Rental Agreements: Any agreement between an Owner and a Renter with respect to the rental of Equipment must be memorialized in a written agreement setting forth the terms applicable to the rental (“Equipment Rental Agreement(s)”). The Platform may provide Owners with access to one or more template Equipment Rental Agreements, which Owners may use at their sole discretion. Regardless of the source of any Equipment Rental Agreement document, each Equipment Rental Agreement must be provided to REPOWR once executed by both the Owner and Renter and must: specify the Equipment to be rented and the rental period; address the pick-up and return of the Equipment; state the applicable rental fees; impose appropriate obligations of Equipment care and maintenance on the Renter; and impose appropriate insurance coverage requirements on the Renter.
- PLATFORM ACCOUNTS:
- Account Registration: To access and use the Platform (including to list and rent Equipment), you must sign up for an account with us (a “REPOWR Account”) through the Services. You will be required to submit certain information in order to create your account and to list or rent Equipment, which information may be required to be submitted to us via email at documents@repowr.com. All information and documents emailed to documents@repowr.com must be sent from the email address associated with the sender’s REPOWR Account, must contain the sender’s name, and must contain the transaction number, if any, assigned by the Platform to the applicable Equipment rental transaction.
You will also be required to establish a password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any information you use in connection with the Services, including your password. You are responsible for all activity on your account. If you believe someone else has accessed your account, please change your password and notify us immediately at support@repowr.com. You will not transfer your Services account to or share your Services account with any other person. Your Services account is personal to you. You agree to take reasonable precautions in all communications and interactions with other Services users and other persons with whom you communicate or interact as a result of your use of the Services.
- Fees and Payment Terms: All amounts payable in connection with your access to or use of the Services, including but not limited to all Equipment rental fees,deposits, late fees, and payment processing fees, must be remitted through the Platform. Information about our collection and use of payment-related information is described in our Privacy Policy. If the credit or debit card or other payment information that you submit is incorrect or invalid, your payment will not be processed and any amounts due by you will remain due. We have no responsibility or liability if your credit or debit card is declined by your financial institution. Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor(eg. Stripe). All payment obligations under these Terms are nonrefundable. REPOWR retains the right to charge your Payment Method on a recurring basis, based upon terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, once the Equipment Rental Agreement is executed by both Owner and Renter.
Owner users will need to submit certain bank account information in order to facilitate payment to Owner users by our payment processor for amounts paid by Renter users. Our payment processor, likely Stripe, will deposit accumulated fees into your account (i.e. Stripe Connect Account) and funds in your Stripe Connect account will periodically be deposited into your bank account on file. Your receipt of payments from Stripe may be subject to certain Stripe terms and conditions. Stripe will deduct from each payment to you the following fees: (a) payment processing fees (which are required and will be retained by Stripe) equal to (i) 2.9% of the payment amount plus (ii) a $0.30 per-payment/transaction fee; and (b) platform fees, which will be passed through to REPOWR. Fees imposed by Stripe are subject to change from time to time by Stripe without notice or liability.
A deposit in an amount to be determined by REPOWR maybe expected from and due by the Renter upon rental of any Equipment and will be returned to Renter after the applicable equipment inspection form (i.e. digital inspection form) is completed, and the return of the Equipment has been accepted by the Owner, and the transaction has been completed.
Renters acknowledge and understand that Owners have sole control over any availability of refunds and deposit returns and that REPOWR cannot and has no obligation to issue or facilitate the issuance of refunds unless and until REPOWR actually receives all such corresponding funds from the applicable Owner. Additionally, we have the right to offset against future payments made by Renters to Owners and the amount of any and all fees, fines, chargebacks, and similar charges.
REPOWR may employ all legal methods available to collect any past-due fees payable by you to REPOWR, but is not obligated to do so, including the engagement of collection agencies and/or legal counsel. REPOWR, or the collection agencies we retain, may also report information about your REPOWR Account to the necessary third party entities, including but not limited to, credit bureaus, Carrier411, and, as a result, late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your REPOWR Account may be reflected in your credit report, Carrier411 report, or various similar reports. In addition to the amount due, delinquent accounts and/or chargebacks will be charged with fees and/or charges that are incidental to the collection of delinquent accounts and/or chargebacks, including, but not limited to, collection fees, convenience fees, and/or other third-party charges.
- Verification: You may be required to provide certain types of information about yourself, your affiliates, and your Equipment, if applicable. We do not assume any responsibility for the confirmation of any Platform user’s identity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for fraud prevention purposes and to the extent permitted by law, REPOWR has the right, but not the obligation, to undertake screenings, checks, and processes designed to help verify or check the identities and/or backgrounds of Platform users (individuals and companies) and Equipment, including driving history and driver’s license validity, which may include REPOWR requests for forms of government identification, screening of users against third-party databases, and obtaining reports from public records of criminal convictions. REPOWR does not endorse any Equipment, Owner, or Renter, nor does REPOWR commit to undertake any specific screening process. REPOWR may in its sole discretion use third-party services to verify information provided and to obtain related information and corrections where applicable, and you hereby authorize REPOWR to request, receive, use, and store such information. Any references to a Platform user being “verified” or the equivalent indicates only that the user has completed a relevant verification or identification process made available by REPOWR and nothing else. REPOWR may accept or reject any listing of Equipment on the Platform in its sole and absolute discretion. REPOWR may, but does not commit to, undertake efforts to help ensure the safety of Equipment shared using the Services. We do not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse the safety or roadworthiness of any Equipment.
- Your Warranties and Commitments: You hereby represent and warrant (i) that you will always use your REPOWR Account and the Services in compliance with these Terms, applicable laws and regulations, and any policies and standards provided to you by REPOWR (including complying with all applicable local, state, and regulatory insurance rules and requirements with respect to Equipment), (ii) that you have the authority to enter into these Terms, (iii) that you meet the above eligibility criteria, (iv) that you are under no contractual obligation that will interfere with your ability to perform under these Terms, (v) that the Services will not be accessed or used in any manner not permitted by these Terms, (vi) that all information you provide in connection with your access to and use of the Services is true, accurate, and complete to the best of your knowledge and belief, and (vii) that you will keep all such information up to date.
- Additional Terms: Your access to or use of certain features or functionality of the Services may be subject to additional terms, conditions, rules, or policies (together, “Additional Terms”). All applicable Additional Terms are incorporated by reference into these Terms.
- Violations of these Terms; Account Suspension, Deactivation, and Termination: REPOWR has the right, but not the obligation, to investigate, pursue, and seek to prosecute, litigate, or refer to law enforcement, violations of these Terms to the fullest extent permissible by the law. REPOWR reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, in accordance with applicable law, to remove or disable access to any content that REPOWR, at its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms, or otherwise harmful to the Services, Platform users, or our community, including deleting, delaying, or refusing to display Equipment listings or other content. If we believe you are abusing the Platform other Platform users, or REPOWR employees in any way or violating these Terms, we may, in our sole discretion and without limiting other remedies, limit, suspend, or terminate your REPOWR Account(s) and access to our Services, remove User Content (as defined below), remove or demote your listings, reduce or eliminate any discounts, and take technical and/or legal steps to prevent you from accessing or using our Services.
In addition, REPOWR may, for any reason and in its sole discretion and without notice or liability, suspend, deactivate, or terminate your REPOWR Account or your use of the Services, and may terminate these Terms, including if you breach these Terms or upon any unauthorized use of your username or password.

- Photography. REPOWR may offer Owners the option of having photographers take photographs of their Equipment, which photographs will be made available by the photographer to Owners to include in their Platform listings (“Images”). You are responsible for ensuring that your Equipment is accurately and fairly represented in the Images and you will stop using the Images if they no longer accurately and fairly represent your Equipment, if you stop listing the Equipment featured, or if your REPOWR Account is suspended or terminated for any reason. REPOWR will have the right to use any Images in accordance with the subsection for advertising, marketing, and/or any other business purposes in any media or platform, whether about your listings or otherwise, without further notice or compensation to you. Where REPOWR is not the exclusive owner of any Images, you hereby grant and agree to grant to REPOWR an exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, assignable, royalty-free, fully paid-up right and license, with the right to sublicense, to use such Images for advertising, marketing and/or any other business purposes in any media or platform, whether about your listings or otherwise, without further notice or compensation to you.
- REPOWR IS NOT A COMMERCIAL LEASING COMPANY: REPOWR does not own any transportation-related equipment and is not in the business of renting equipment to any person or entity.

You will be responsible for all of the expenses and costs relating to any citations and fines (e.g., tolls, parking tickets, towing fines) incurred during the rental period or in connection with your rental or use of any Equipment. You acknowledge that REPOWR and/or Owners may require and hold deposits as part of an Equipment rental. Additionally, Renter will pay, promptly when due, such taxes for which Renter is liable under any Equipment Rental Agreement, including without limitation fuel taxes and mileage taxes.

The parties acknowledge that the charges included in the Equipment Rental Agreement for the Equipment are exclusive of sales receipt or use taxes, and third structure taxes, including, but not limited to, weight, distance, ton mileage, and axle mile taxes. Renter shall pay the amount of any sales receipt, use tax, or third structure tax now or hereafter imposed upon the execution of the Equipment Rental Agreement.

- Required Documentation. Renter must promptly provide REPOWR with all necessary documentation requested by REPOWR (including trip records and fuel tickets or information necessary to request a DataQ modification) using the interface provided in the Platform. If you fail to provide REPOWR with timely, accurate, and complete information, you agree to (i) reimburse REPOWR for any charges, penalties, expenses, or disallowed credits; (ii) pay REPOWR an amount equal to the estimated taxes computed on a per mile basis: and (iii) pay REPOWR a surcharge of $.20 for each mile that you fail to properly report.
- Reimbursement of Fuel, Highway Use, and Mileage Taxes: The mileage rate is intended to cover the costs of fuel, highway use, and mileage taxes during the terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, provided Renter complies with all terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, including any use restrictions. Notwithstanding, Renter must provide all necessary documentation pursuant to Paragraph 10.B.2.(a) above, and shall be subject to the surcharge therein and/or other fines and penalties, if Renter fails to provide all required documentation or fails to comply with all applicable terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, including any use restrictions.

If your failure to pay any of the above items results in an outstanding charge, claim, or lien involving any Equipment or another vehicle listed herein, then REPOWR or Owner may settle such, and you shall promptly pay REPOWR or Owner the full amount of such settlement, any related costs.
- Placarding: In the event any Equipment is operated or leased by Renter for a period equal to or excess of 30 days, Renter must identify the vehicle in compliance with federal and state regulations.
- Liability and Insurance: Upon execution of an Equipment Rental Agreement, the Renter assumes all liability for the Equipment to be rented while in the care, custody or control of the Renter, including all damages, losses, and other liabilities. Renter agrees to procure and maintain all insurance coverage appropriate in connection with its rental or use of any Equipment, including all insurance required by the applicable Equipment Rental Agreement. REPOWR reserves the right to require a Renter to submit a valid certificate of insurance or proof of insurance to REPOWR as a condition of renting or taking possession of any Equipment. To the extent Renter obtains insurance to cover liability for rented Equipment, that insurance will be primary in all respects.

You are required to wear seat belts during the operation of any Equipment and to require that any and all other occupants of the Equipment wear seat belts.
- State Laws Regarding Rental Vehicle Theft: It is a felony in most jurisdictions to fail to return a rental vehicle within a certain period of time after the rental period has expired. The following conduct may result in the reporting of the Equipment you have booked as stolen to law enforcement, possibly subjecting you and any other driver to arrest, and civil and/or criminal penalties, and the voiding of your insurance coverage:
- If you fail to return Equipment at the time and place agreed upon with the Owner;
- If you do not return the Equipment by the end of the rental; period and you have not properly obtained an extension of the rental from the Owner;
- If the Equipment is returned to any place other than the return location specified in the Equipment Rental Agreement; any damage to, or loss or theft of, Equipment occurring prior to the Owner inspecting the Equipment upon return at the end of the rental period is the Renter’s responsibility;
- If you misrepresent facts to the Owner pertaining to the booking, use, or operation of any Equipment;
- If any Equipment’s interior components or contents are stolen or damaged or the Equipment itself is stolen or damaged when left unlocked, running, or unattended with the keys not secured;
- If you fail or refuse to communicate in good faith with the Equipment’s Owner, police, or other authorities with a full report of any accident or vandalism involving the Equipment or otherwise fail to cooperate in the investigation of any accident or vandalism; or
- If Equipment is operated by anyone who has given a fictitious name, false address, or a false or invalid driver’s license; whose driver’s license becomes invalid during the rental period; who has obtained the keys without permission of the Owner; or who misrepresents facts to or withholds facts from the Owner material to the booking, use or operation of any Equipment.
- Termination of Equipment Rental Agreement: Renters have the right to terminate any active Equipment Rental Agreement by giving both REPOWR and the Owner at least 72 hours' notice. If the Owner terminates an Equipment Rental Agreement, it is your duty to coordinate the return of the Equipment with the Owner and return the specified Equipment within 72 hours of notification from the Owner. As the Renter, if you do not fulfill the termination request of the Owner and the Equipment is not returned within the 72-hour period, you will be charged $500 for each day the Equipment is not returned to the Owner at a specified location.

- Off-Platform Policy:
To protect our networks and business, the following behaviors are prohibited:
Taking people off of the REPOWR platform for new, partial, or future reservations
- Contacting potential renters or owners before reserving asset(s) on REPOWR to move the reservation off of REPOWR (ex: offering discounts to book off of REPOWR);
- Asking renters to fill out forms, or call, email, or otherwise contact you via a non-REPOWR communications service before accepting reservation requests;
- Canceling existing full or partial reservations and having renters rebook off of REPOWR Platform;
- Asking or encouraging renters or owners to book outside of REPOWR for repeat or future reservations; and
- Including links or embedding buttons (ex: footers, headers) that take people off of REPOWR Platform to another website in any messages to renters.
Asking users for, or using, contact or identity information in ways unrelated to their reservation, or that compromise the quality of their lease
- Asking users for contact information before booking; all communications before a reservation must be on the REPOWR Platform;
- Soliciting users for their email, mailing address, or other communications channels using the REPOWR messaging system or email alias after a reservation;
- Asking renters for contact information after a reservation to run credit checks or background checks;
- Asking renters to send photos of their government ID before arrival except where required for legal or compliance reasons as outlined in this Agreement;
- Asking for or using users’ contact information to settle additional payments outside of REPWOR’s platform; all payments related to a reservation, including extensions of a lease terms (and besides exceptions identified below), must go through REPOWR (ex: using the Resolution Center);
- Using contact information provided by REPOWR for other purposes that violate our Terms of Service; and
- Selling, sharing, or using users’ contact information for marketing communications or signing renters up for contact lists.
Exceptions
- You may require additional contact/identity information if it is required for legal or compliance reasons and can be verified by an Owner upon request by REPOWR (such as local laws, HOS rules, DOT rules, FMCSA rules, and facility security rules). In such instances, Owners must include information about what is required and why in their listing description, so renters understand this additional step is a requirement before booking. Owners are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable data privacy laws;
- After accepting a reservation, you may ask a renter or owner to confirm that the contact information provided by REPOWR is an appropriate way to get in touch during their lease or if the renter requests an alternative or communication after a reservation has been initiated; and
- You may use an alternative means of communicating with a renter or owner if requested by either user after booking (ex: chat app), however, you must ensure such communications comply with the other requirements of this policy.
Taking people off of the REPOWR platform for feedback and reviews
You may not ask renters to review a REPOWR reservation on a non-REPOWR website or fill out a survey regarding a REPOWR reservation on a non-REPOWR website (such as a form off of REPOWR) unless you are an approved leasing company partner. These actions take valuable input about a renter’s reservation away from the REPOWR community. We want renters to share their feedback directly on REPOWR so that other renters may benefit from their insights.

Headings are for reference purposes only and do not limit the scope or extent of such section. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, such provision will be struck out to the extent of the invalidity and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, which will continue in full force and effect.

Last updated: December 15, 2022
Please read these Terms of Service (these “Terms”) carefully as they contain important information regarding your legal rights, remedies, and obligations, including various limitations and exclusions on our liability, a clause that governs the jurisdiction and venue of disputes, and obligations on you to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
REPOWR, INC (collectively with its affiliates, “REPOWR”, “we”, “us,” or “our”), provides an online asset-sharing platform that connects owners of certain vehicles, trailers, and other transportation-related equipment with those seeking to book that equipment (the “Platform”). The Platform and all related websites, services, content, documentation, and underlying technology, including all updates, upgrades, improvements, bug fixes, and other modifications to the same, are collectively referred to as the “Services.”
By accessing or using the Services, including by communicating with us or other REPOWR users, or by entering into any agreement with REPOWR that governs your access to or use of the Services, you agree on behalf of yourself and any company or organization that you represent (together, “you”) that you have read and understand and agree to comply with, and be legally bound by, the provisions of these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms or our Privacy Policy, do not access or use the Services.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify these Terms at any time. If we modify these Terms, we will post the modification on our Services or otherwise communicate them to you.

- PRIVACY POLICY: We may collect certain information about you and from your access to and use of the Services as described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms and describes our information collection, use, and sharing practices.
- PLATFORM PURPOSE AND LICENSE:
- Purpose: The Platform is intended only for use by owners of transportation-related equipment (“Equipment”) seeking to rent out that Equipment (“Owner(s)”) and companies looking to rent and use that Equipment (“Renter(s)”). Nothing on the Platform constitutes an offer, but an invitation to you to make an offer to rent Equipment through the Platform. All Equipment rentals are subject to acceptance by the applicable Owner. Any agreement between an Owner and a Renter with respect to the rental of Equipment will be solely between those two parties and must be pursuant to a written equipment rental agreement between those parties as further discussed below. Our Services are intended solely for persons who are 21 or older, except that we permit Renters age 18 and older to book Equipment through the Services. Any use of the Services by anyone that does not meet these age requirements is expressly prohibited.
- License: Provided you comply with these Terms, REPOWR hereby grants you a limited, nonexclusive, revocable, nonassignable, nontransferable, nonsublicensable license to access and use the Platform solely for your internal purposes to list and rent Equipment and, in any event, in accordance with all related documentation or restrictions posted on the Services or otherwise provided by REPOWR.
- Term: These Terms begin upon the earlier of (a) your creation of a REPOWR Account (as defined below) or (b) your first access to or use of the Services, and will continue in effect until termination in accordance with these Terms.
- Equipment Rental Agreements: Any agreement between an Owner and a Renter with respect to the rental of Equipment must be memorialized in a written agreement setting forth the terms applicable to the rental (“Equipment Rental Agreement(s)”). The Platform may provide Owners with access to one or more template Equipment Rental Agreements, which Owners may use at their sole discretion. Regardless of the source of any Equipment Rental Agreement document, each Equipment Rental Agreement must be provided to REPOWR once executed by both the Owner and Renter and must: specify the Equipment to be rented and the rental period; address the pick-up and return of the Equipment; state the applicable rental fees; impose appropriate obligations of Equipment care and maintenance on the Renter; and impose appropriate insurance coverage requirements on the Renter.
- PLATFORM ACCOUNTS:
- Account Registration: To access and use the Platform (including to list and rent Equipment), you must sign up for an account with us (a “REPOWR Account”) through the Services. You will be required to submit certain information in order to create your account and to list or rent Equipment, which information may be required to be submitted to us via email at documents@repowr.com. All information and documents emailed to documents@repowr.com must be sent from the email address associated with the sender’s REPOWR Account, must contain the sender’s name, and must contain the transaction number, if any, assigned by the Platform to the applicable Equipment rental transaction.
You will also be required to establish a password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any information you use in connection with the Services, including your password. You are responsible for all activity on your account. If you believe someone else has accessed your account, please change your password and notify us immediately at support@repowr.com. You will not transfer your Services account to or share your Services account with any other person. Your Services account is personal to you. You agree to take reasonable precautions in all communications and interactions with other Services users and other persons with whom you communicate or interact as a result of your use of the Services.
- Fees and Payment Terms: All amounts payable in connection with your access to or use of the Services, including but not limited to all Equipment rental fees,deposits, late fees, and payment processing fees, must be remitted through the Platform. Information about our collection and use of payment-related information is described in our Privacy Policy. If the credit or debit card or other payment information that you submit is incorrect or invalid, your payment will not be processed and any amounts due by you will remain due. We have no responsibility or liability if your credit or debit card is declined by your financial institution. Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor(eg. Stripe). All payment obligations under these Terms are nonrefundable. REPOWR retains the right to charge your Payment Method on a recurring basis, based upon terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, once the Equipment Rental Agreement is executed by both Owner and Renter.
Owner users will need to submit certain bank account information in order to facilitate payment to Owner users by our payment processor for amounts paid by Renter users. Our payment processor, likely Stripe, will deposit accumulated fees into your account (i.e. Stripe Connect Account) and funds in your Stripe Connect account will periodically be deposited into your bank account on file. Your receipt of payments from Stripe may be subject to certain Stripe terms and conditions. Stripe will deduct from each payment to you the following fees: (a) payment processing fees (which are required and will be retained by Stripe) equal to (i) 2.9% of the payment amount plus (ii) a $0.30 per-payment/transaction fee; and (b) platform fees , which will be passed through to REPOWR. Fees imposed by Stripe are subject to change from time to time by Stripe without notice or liability.
A deposit in an amount to be determined by REPOWR maybe expected from and due by the Renter upon rental of any Equipment and will be returned to Renter after the applicable equipment inspection form (i.e. digital inspection form) is completed, and the return of the Equipment has been accepted by the Owner, and the transaction has been completed.
Renters acknowledge and understand that Owners have sole control over any availability of refunds and deposit returns and that REPOWR cannot and has no obligation to issue or facilitate the issuance of refunds unless and until REPOWR actually receives all such corresponding funds from the applicable Owner. Additionally, we have the right to offset against future payments made by Renters to Owners and the amount of any and all fees, fines, chargebacks, and similar charges.
REPOWR may employ all legal methods available to collect any past-due fees payable by you to REPOWR, but is not obligated to do so, including the engagement of collection agencies and/or legal counsel. REPOWR, or the collection agencies we retain, may also report information about your REPOWR Account to the necessary third party entities, including but not limited to, credit bureaus, Carrier411, and, as a result, late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your REPOWR Account may be reflected in your credit report, Carrier411 report, or various similar reports. In addition to the amount due, delinquent accounts and/or chargebacks will be charged with fees and/or charges that are incidental to the collection of delinquent accounts and/or chargebacks, including, but not limited to, collection fees, convenience fees, and/or other third-party charges.
- Verification: You may be required to provide certain types of information about yourself, your affiliates, and your Equipment, if applicable. We do not assume any responsibility for the confirmation of any Platform user’s identity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for fraud prevention purposes and to the extent permitted by law, REPOWR has the right, but not the obligation, to undertake screenings, checks, and processes designed to help verify or check the identities and/or backgrounds of Platform users (individuals and companies) and Equipment, including driving history and driver’s license validity, which may include REPOWR requests for forms of government identification, screening of users against third-party databases, and obtaining reports from public records of criminal convictions. REPOWR does not endorse any Equipment, Owner, or Renter, nor does REPOWR commit to undertake any specific screening process. REPOWR may in its sole discretion use third-party services to verify information provided and to obtain related information and corrections where applicable, and you hereby authorize REPOWR to request, receive, use, and store such information. Any references to a Platform user being “verified” or the equivalent indicates only that the user has completed a relevant verification or identification process made available by REPOWR and nothing else. REPOWR may accept or reject any listing of Equipment on the Platform in its sole and absolute discretion. REPOWR may, but does not commit to, undertake efforts to help ensure the safety of Equipment shared using the Services. We do not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse the safety or roadworthiness of any Equipment.
- Your Warranties and Commitments: You hereby represent and warrant (i) that you will always use your REPOWR Account and the Services in compliance with these Terms, applicable laws and regulations, and any policies and standards provided to you by REPOWR (including complying with all applicable local, state, and regulatory insurance rules and requirements with respect to Equipment), (ii) that you have the authority to enter into these Terms, (iii) that you meet the above eligibility criteria, (iv) that you are under no contractual obligation that will interfere with your ability to perform under these Terms, (v) that the Services will not be accessed or used in any manner not permitted by these Terms, (vi) that all information you provide in connection with your access to and use of the Services is true, accurate, and complete to the best of your knowledge and belief, and (vii) that you will keep all such information up to date.
- Additional Terms: Your access to or use of certain features or functionality of the Services may be subject to additional terms, conditions, rules, or policies (together, “Additional Terms”). All applicable Additional Terms are incorporated by reference into these Terms.
- Violations of these Terms; Account Suspension, Deactivation, and Termination: REPOWR has the right, but not the obligation, to investigate, pursue, and seek to prosecute, litigate, or refer to law enforcement, violations of these Terms to the fullest extent permissible by the law. REPOWR reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, in accordance with applicable law, to remove or disable access to any content that REPOWR, at its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms, or otherwise harmful to the Services, Platform users, or our community, including deleting, delaying, or refusing to display Equipment listings or other content. If we believe you are abusing the Platform other Platform users, or REPOWR employees in any way or violating these Terms, we may, in our sole discretion and without limiting other remedies, limit, suspend, or terminate your REPOWR Account(s) and access to our Services, remove User Content (as defined below), remove or demote your listings, reduce or eliminate any discounts, and take technical and/or legal steps to prevent you from accessing or using our Services.
In addition, REPOWR may, for any reason and in its sole discretion and without notice or liability, suspend, deactivate, or terminate your REPOWR Account or your use of the Services, and may terminate these Terms, including if you breach these Terms or upon any unauthorized use of your username or password.

You understand that, after termination of your REPOWR Account or these Terms, any User Content you have provided may remain in our systems and may continue to be used by other users of the Services, as applicable.
Termination of your REPOWR Account or these Terms will not have any effect on the warranty disclaimer, indemnification, waiver of rights, liability limitation, or legal dispute provisions of these Terms and/or any fees due, nor on any other provision intended to survive termination, and all of those provisions will survive any termination of these Terms or of your access to or use of the Services.
- Photography. REPOWR may offer Owners the option of having photographers take photographs of their Equipment, which photographs will be made available by the photographer to Owners to include in their Platform listings (“Images”). You are responsible for ensuring that your Equipment is accurately and fairly represented in the Images and you will stop using the Images if they no longer accurately and fairly represent your Equipment, if you stop listing the Equipment featured, or if your REPOWR Account is suspended or terminated for any reason. REPOWR will have the right to use any Images in accordance with subsection for advertising, marketing, and/or any other business purposes in any media or platform, whether in relation to your listings or otherwise, without further notice or compensation to you. Where REPOWR is not the exclusive owner of any Images, you hereby grant and agree to grant to REPOWR an exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, assignable, royalty-free, fully paid-up right and license, with the right to sublicense, to use such Images for advertising, marketing and/or any other business purposes in any media or platform, whether in relation to your listings or otherwise, without further notice or compensation to you.
- REPOWR IS NOT A COMMERCIAL LEASING COMPANY: REPOWR does not own any transportation-related equipment and is not in the business of renting equipment to any person or entity. REPOWR only provides an online platform and marketplace where equipment owners and those in need of equipment can connect and share equipment amongst themselves subject to these Terms. REPOWR has no control over the conduct of any Owner, Renter, or third party.
- NO INSURANCE PROVIDED: You further acknowledge and agree that you will receive no protection, insurance coverage, or roadside assistance from REPOWR or its agents.
- NO EQUIPMENT SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT: Renters and Owners agree that nothing in these Terms constitutes an actual or purported sale, transfer or assignment of any right or interest in any Equipment.

Neither the Services nor REPOWR reviews agreements between you and any third parties (including those between Owners and Renters), nor any documents submitted via or in connection with the Platform, for legal sufficiency, performs any cost-benefit analyses, draws legal conclusions, provides legal advice, opinions, or recommendations, nor addresses or mediates any disputes amongst Platform users. Additionally, any template or form documents (including equipment rental agreements) provided on or through the Services are examples only and are made available only for users’ reference purposes. You understand that you are not required to use any such template or form documents. All Platform users are strongly discouraged from using any such template or form documents without having such documents reviewed by such party’s legal counsel.
- ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO OWNERS:
- Ownership: Owner represents and warrants that it is the owner and title owner of any and all Equipment it lists on the Platform or, alternatively, has the full unencumbered legal right to list such Equipment and enter into Equipment Rental Agreements with respect to that Equipment.

You will not leave any Equipment unlocked or running or unattended with undeterred key access.

- Reimbursement of Fuel, Highway Use, and Mileage Taxes: The mileage rate is intended to cover the costs of fuel, highway use and mileage taxes during the terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, provided Renter complies with all terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, including any use restrictions. Notwithstanding, Renter must provide all necessary documentation pursuant to Paragraph 10.B.2.(a) above, and shall be subject to the surcharge therein and/or other fines and penalties, if Renter fails to provide all required documentation or fails to comply with all applicable terms of the Equipment Rental Agreement, including any use restrictions.
- Other Taxes, Fees, Tolls, or Fines: Renter shall pay for all taxes, fees, special licenses, traffic and parking violations, towing and storage expenses and other similar fines and tolls (whether in effect now or imposed after the date of the Terms) relating to the use of any Equipment during the term of the equipment Rental Agreement or other charges under these Terms (excluding any taxes based on REPOWR’s or Owner’s net income). If your failure to pay any of the above items results in an outstanding charge, claim, or lien involving any Equipment or another vehicle listed herein, then REPOWR or Owner may settle such, and you shall promptly pay REPOWR or Owner the full amount of such settlement, any related costs.
- Placarding: In the event any Equipment is operated or leased by Renter for a period equal to or excess of 30 days, Renter must identify the vehicle in compliance with federal and state regulations.

REPOWR reserves the right to require a Renter to submit a valid certificate of insurance or proof of insurance to REPOWR as a condition of renting or taking possession of any Equipment. To the extent Renter obtains insurance to cover liability for rented Equipment, that insurance will be primary in all respects.
- Use of Equipment: When you book Equipment through the Platform, you must use the Equipment only for your proper business use. Public livery or transport of passengers is strictly prohibited.

You are required to wear seat belts during the operation of any Equipment and to require that any and all other occupants of the Equipment wear seat belts.
- State Laws Regarding Rental Vehicle Theft: It is a felony in most jurisdictions to fail to return a rental vehicle within a certain period of time after the rental period has expired. The following conduct may result in the reporting of the Equipment you have booked as stolen to law enforcement, possibly subjecting you and any other driver to arrest, and civil and/or criminal penalties, and the voiding of your insurance coverage:
- If you fail to return Equipment at the time and place agreed upon with the Owner;
- If you do not return the Equipment by the end of the rental; period and you have not properly obtained an extension of the rental from the Owner;
- If the Equipment is returned to any place other than the return location specified in the Equipment Rental Agreement; any damage to, or loss or theft of, Equipment occurring prior to the Owner inspecting the Equipment upon return at the end of the rental period is the Renter’s responsibility;
- If you misrepresent facts to the Owner pertaining to booking, use, or operation of any Equipment;
- If any Equipment’s interior components or contents are stolen or damaged or the Equipment itself is stolen or damaged when left unlocked, running, or unattended with the keys not secured;
- If you fail or refuse to communicate in good faith with Equipment’s Owner, police, or other authorities with a full report of any accident or vandalism involving the Equipment or otherwise fail to cooperate in the investigation of any accident or vandalism; or
- If Equipment is operated by anyone who has given a fictitious name, false address, or a false or invalid driver’s license; whose driver’s license becomes invalid during the rental period; who has obtained the keys without permission of the Owner; or who misrepresents facts to or withholds facts from the Owner material to the booking, use or operation of any Equipment.
- Termination of Equipment Rental Agreement: Renters have the right to terminate any active Equipment Rental Agreement by giving both REPOWR and the Owner at least 72 hours notice. If the Owner terminates an Equipment Rental Agreement, it is your duty to coordinate the return of the Equipment with the Owner and return the specified Equipment within 72 hours of notification from the Owner. As the Renter, if you do not fulfill the termination request of the Owner and the Equipment is not returned within the 72 hour period, you will be charged $500 for each day the Equipment is not returned to the Owner at a specified location.

- Off-Platform Policy:
In order to protect our user-networks and business, the following behaviors are prohibited:
Taking people off of the REPOWR platform for new, partial, or future reservations
- Contacting potential renters or owners prior to reserving asset(s) on REPOWR to move the reservation off of REPOWR (ex: offering discounts to book off of REPOWR);
- Asking renters to fill out forms, or call, email, or otherwise contact you via a non-REPOWR communications service prior to accepting reservation requests;
- Canceling existing full or partial reservations and having renters rebook off of REPOWR Platform;
- Asking or encouraging renters or owners to book outside of REPOWR for repeat or future reservations; and
- Including links or embedding buttons (ex: footers, headers) that take people off of REPOWR Platform to another website in any messages to renters.
Asking users for, or using, contact or identity information in ways unrelated to their reservation, or that compromise the quality of their lease
- Asking users for contact information prior to booking; all communications prior to a reservation must be on the REPOWR Platform;
- Soliciting users for their email, mailing address, or other communications channels using the REPOWR messaging system or email alias after a reservation;
- Asking renters for contact information after a reservation in order to run credit checks or background checks;
- Asking renters to send photos of their government ID prior to arrival except where required for legal or compliance reasons as outlined in this Agreement;
- Asking for or using users’ contact information to settle additional payments outside of REPWOR’s platform; all payments related to a reservation, including extensions of a lease terms (and besides exceptions identified below), must go through REPOWR (ex: using the Resolution Center);
- Using contact information provided by REPOWR for other purposes that violate our Terms of Service; and
- Selling, sharing, or using users’ contact information for marketing communications or signing renters up for contact lists.
Exceptions
- You may require additional contact/identity information if it is required for legal or compliance reasons and can be verified by an Owner upon request by REPOWR (such as local laws, HOS rules, DOT rules, FMCSA rules, and facility security rules). In such instances, Owners must include information about what is required and why in their listing description, so renters understand this additional step is a requirement prior to booking. Owners are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable data privacy laws;
- After accepting a reservation, you may ask a renter or owner to confirm that the contact information provided by REPOWR is an appropriate way to get in touch during their lease or if the renter requests an alternative or communication after reservation has been initiated; and
- You may use an alternative means of communicating with a renter or owner if requested by either user after booking (ex: chat app), however, you must ensure such communications comply with the other requirements of this policy.
Taking people off of the REPOWR platform for feedback and reviews
You may not ask renters to review a REPOWR reservation on a non-REPOWR website or fill out a survey regarding an REPOWR reservation on a non-REPOWR website (such as a form off of REPOWR) unless you are an approved leasing company partner. These actions take valuable input about a renter’s reservation away from the REPOWR community. We want renters to share their feedback directly on REPOWR so that other renters may benefit from their insights.

REPOWR’s failure to exercise any right under these Terms will not constitute a waiver of any other right REPOWR may have and any waiver of any provision of these Terms by REPOWR will be effective only if in writing and signed by REPOWR. Headings are for reference purposes only and do not limit the scope or extent of such section. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, such provision will be struck out to the extent of the invalidity and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, which will continue in full force and effect.
