BICYCLE RENTAL DETAILED TERMS AND CONDITIONS SAMPLE:
1. Application for bicycle rental
The hotel’s bicycles are rented out to the hotel’s guests only.
Please check the availability of the bicycles and make a reservation in advance.
2. Handover of the bicycles
In order for handover to take place, you will need to read and sign the Main Points of the Bicycle Rental Agreement.
3. Rental fee
The rental fee is calculated according to the rental time you have specified in your application and is paid during check-out.
4. Returning of the bicycle
Please return the bicycle at the reception as soon as you have finished using it.
If for some reason you request to be allowed to return your bicycle at some other location than the hotel, the
incurred costs of recovering the bicycle will be charged from you.
5. Accidents
If you get involved in an accident while using the hotel’s bicycle, please report the time, place, cause and circumstances of the accident to the hotel immediately. If necessary, you must also contact the police or carry out any other actions stipulated by law.
The hotel will assume no responsibility for the accident. If the accident makes it necessary to start an out-of-court mediation process etc., it will be done on the guest’s sole responsibility.
In addition, regardless of the above, the hotel may claim compensation from the guest for all damages, even including damages that the hotel has had to compensate to a third party.
6. Bicycle damage and breakdown
If the bicycle breaks down or sustains damage during the rental period, please contact the hotel immediately.
If a guest has repairs done to the bicycle without the hotel’s prior permission, the hotel cannot cover the costs of the repairs.
As a rule, if the breakdown or damage to the bicycle was caused by reasons having to do with the guest, the costs of the repairs are charged from the guest based on the actual incurred expenses. However, in the case of a flat tire, the hotel will pay for the repairs.
In addition, even if the guest or some third party suffers damages as a result of the breakdown, the hotel will assume no responsibility unless the breakdown was caused by the rental bicycle in question.
7. Loss or theft of a bicycle
If you lose your bicycle or it is stolen during the rental period, please contact the hotel immediately.
If the loss or theft occurred due to the guest’s negligence, such as forgetting to lock the bicycle, the hotel may charge up to 200 USD as a contract penalty fee.
This penalty fee will not be returned to the guest even if the bicycle is returned after the fee is paid.
If the bicycle was parked in one of the city’s numerous bicycle-prohibited-zones and removed because of this, the fee for recovering the bicycle will be paid by the guest.
The guest will personally have to go and recover the bicycle from the bicycle impound centre and take care of any expenses involved.
8. Loss or destruction of a key
If the key to a bicycle is lost or destroyed, the hotel will charge a fee of 100 USD for making of a new key.

4) Modification of the bicycle or its accessories, or otherwise changing them from their current state.
5) Continuing to drive the bicycle after noticing that it has a flat tire or some other problem.
6) Letting the bicycle be used by someone else than the person named in the application.
10. Hotel’s refusal to rent out a bicycle
The hotel may refuse to rent out a bicycle for one or more of the below reasons:
1) The hotel considers it likely that the applicant cannot follow the rules stated above.
