The Company and Renter are each a “Party” and together the “Parties.”

This Agreement is intended for a high-liability specialty vehicle rental business involving special construction/bespoke recreation/replica/kit vehicles that do not meet modern vehicle safety standards and require heightened disclosures, strict rules, and risk allocation.

1.1 Rental Agreement Structure. The terms and conditions governing this rental (the “Rental Terms”) consist of:

• this Agreement; and
• Schedule A (Rental Document / Rental Summary / Vehicle & Driver Information / Check-Out & Return Report, including fee elections and initials).

Collectively, these documents form the “Rental Agreement.”

1.2 Bailment. You are renting from the Company the vehicle described in Schedule A (the “Vehicle”) pursuant to this contract of bailment for the mutual benefit of the Parties. You shall have possession of the Vehicle only during the Rental Period and only under the conditions of the Rental Agreement.

1.3 Florida Law Controls Where Required. By taking possession of the Vehicle, you agree to be bound by the Rental Agreement, except to the extent any term is prohibited under applicable Florida law, in which case such law will govern.

1.4 No Waiver by Delay. The Company’s failure to enforce any term at any time will not be a waiver of the Company’s right to enforce that term later.

1.5 Headings. Headings are for convenience and do not affect interpretation.

2.1 “Vehicle” means the specialty vehicle described in Schedule A, including all keys, accessories, documents, equipment, hard/soft top components, side curtains (if any), tools, gauges, tires/wheels, and all installed devices (including GPS/Telematics).

3.2 Valid Driver’s License. You represent and warrant that you hold a valid, unexpired United States-issued driver’s license and are legally authorized to operate the Vehicle in Florida.

3.3 Truthful Information. You represent and warrant that all information you provide (including identity, address, contact information, license, and insurance) is true, complete, and not misleading.

3.4 Right to Refuse/Cancel Delivery. The Company may refuse to deliver the Vehicle or may cancel/terminate the Rental Agreement if, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, you do not satisfy eligibility, identity, safety, payment, insurance verification, or compliance requirements, or if proceeding would increase risk (including inability to verify insurance). If the Company cancels before releasing the Vehicle to you, the Company will refund amounts actually received from you, less any non-refundable third-party platform fees, payment processor fees, chargeback fees, or other non-recoverable costs actually incurred by the Company in connection with your reservation, to the extent permitted by law.

4.1 Strict Authorized Driver Rule. Only you and any Authorized Driver listed in Schedule A may operate or possess the Vehicle. No one else may drive, use, possess, move, park, store, service, or control the Vehicle for any reason.

4.2 Material Breach. Any operation or possession by a non-Authorized Driver is a material breach and may result in immediate termination, Vehicle recovery, and your full responsibility for all Losses.

4.3 You Are Responsible for Others. You are responsible for the acts and omissions of:

• any Authorized Driver;
• any passenger;
• anyone you allow near the Vehicle; and
• anyone who gains access to the Vehicle due to your acts/omissions (including leaving keys accessible) or the acts and omissions of a passenger,

as if those acts/omissions were your own.

5.2 Retention and Use. You consent to the collection and retention of your information for compliance, fraud prevention, insurance verification, claims handling, charge processing, dispute resolution, and legal enforcement.

6.1 Not a Production Vehicle. You acknowledge that the Vehicle is a “Special Construction,” “Bespoke Recreation,” or “Replica” vehicle designed to aesthetically resemble a vintage vehicle (including a 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster style), and it is NOT an original Porsche AG factory-manufactured vehicle.

6.2 Absence of Modern Safety Standards. You understand that the Vehicle does not meet modern Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (“FMVSS”) and lacks modern safety features, including, without limitation:

• No Passive Safety: no airbags, reinforced crumple zones, side-impact protection, or rollover protection.
• No Electronic Aids: no Anti-lock Braking System (“ABS”), traction control, or electronic stability control; wheels may lock under heavy braking, and the vehicle will not automatically correct for skids.

6.3 Handling Characteristics. You acknowledge that the lightweight, rear-engine configuration (or comparable non-standard configuration) creates unique handling dynamics and requires increased following distances and slower cornering speeds compared to modern production cars.

6.4 Critical Additional Disclosures. You acknowledge and accept:

• Front-mounted fuel tank risk in severe frontal collision (risk of rupture/fire differs from modern rear-tank designs).
• No rollover/side protection; windshield frame is cosmetic and provides no structural protection; fiberglass doors lack steel side-impact beams.
• Visibility danger due to low profile in Miami traffic.
• Child seats not supported (no LATCH and no locking retractors).

6.5 Assumption of Risk; As-Is Acceptance for Novelty/Recreation. You accept the Vehicle in its current as-is condition for novelty and recreational use and voluntarily assume all risks of property damage, serious bodily injury, or death inherent in operating a vintage-style platform with limited crash protection and no electronic safety assists.

6.6 Passenger Notice; Your Duty. You will inform all passengers of these risks and ensure they comply with all safety and conduct rules. You are liable for passenger conduct and resulting losses.

7.1 Mandatory Florida Statutory Notice (Fla. Stat. § 627.7263).

The Company does not provide liability or PIP coverage for Renter under this Agreement, except and only to the extent any non-waivable coverage is imposed by applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement or Schedule A creates or expands any insurance coverage, waiver product, or defense obligation in favor of Renter.

7.2 Insurance Warranty & Verification. You warrant and represent that you maintain a valid personal automobile insurance policy in good standing that provides the state-mandated limits and extends comprehensive and collision coverage to rental vehicles. You acknowledge that many standard policies exclude Special Construction/Replica/Exotic vehicles and affirm you have verified coverage for this specific vehicle type. You authorize the Company to verify coverage status through third-party services at any time. You further acknowledge that it is solely your responsibility to confirm whether any insurance available to you applies to this rental, and any failure of such insurance to respond does not limit your obligations under this Agreement.

7.3 Financial Responsibility for Denied Claims. If your insurer denies a claim for any reason (including exclusions for replica vehicles or commercial/rental use), you remain personally and primarily liable for the full cost of the Vehicle repair, replacement (at current market value), and any third-party liability claims, including, but not limited to, the Company’s legal fees.

7.4 Notice of Non-Waiver. THE COMPANY DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY LOSS DAMAGE WAIVER, COLLISION DAMAGE WAIVER, OR ANY OTHER INSURANCE WAIVER PRODUCT. The Company is not agreeing to relieve or release Renter from liability for any loss, damage, claim, or expense. Renter must look solely to any insurance available to Renter, if any, and Renter remains 100% financially responsible for all damages, losses, and incidental costs, regardless of fault. No payment by any insurer will reduce or eliminate Renter’s liability except to the extent the Company actually receives and applies such payment to the applicable loss. Nothing in this Agreement limits the Company’s or its insurer’s right to pursue recovery directly from Renter, Renter’s insurer, or any other responsible person or source of funds.

8.1 Service Providers; Data Sharing. You acknowledge that the Company uses third-party software and service providers (the “Service Providers”) and expressly consent to the collection, processing, and sharing of your personal data (including name, address, driver’s license, and Payment Method), including:

• Fleet management platforms (reservation management/contract execution)
• Identity verification technologies (including driver’s license scanning and facial geometry/biometric data)
• Insurance verification services
• Payment processors
• Toll management providers

• asset protection and recovery;
• safety and compliance monitoring (speed/driving behavior);
• geographic compliance (Florida-only); and
• emergency response.

9.2 No Tampering. You will not disable, shield, remove, tamper with, obstruct, or interfere with GPS/Telematics. Any tampering is a material breach and may result in immediate termination, recovery, additional fees, and full liability for Losses.

9.3 Geofence and Restricted Area Compliance. You acknowledge the Vehicle may be monitored for state line crossing and restricted areas (including racetracks). Violations may trigger immediate termination and the Geographic Breach Fee.

10.1 Prohibited Uses. The Vehicle shall NOT be used or operated in any manner prohibited hereby, including:

• by any person under the age of 30;
• by any unauthorized driver;
• while under the influence of alcohol, medication, or any legal/illegal drugs (including marijuana, regardless of prescription status) that may impair driving;

• outside of the State of Florida.

10.2 Geographic Limits; GPS Telemetry; Fee; Immediate Termination. The Vehicle may not be driven outside Florida. Crossing state lines or entering prohibited areas may result in immediate termination and a $500.00 Geographic Breach Fee.

10.3 Consequences. Any prohibited use is a material breach and may result in immediate termination, Vehicle recovery, forfeiture of amounts paid to the extent permitted by law, and full liability for all Losses.

11.1 Fragile Composite Construction. You acknowledge that the vehicle’s body is fiberglass composite; unlike steel, fiberglass is brittle and cracks/splinters/spider-webs under static weight or pressure.

11.2 Strict Prohibition (Static Weight). You agree that NO PERSON shall sit, stand, lean, or place heavy objects on any exterior part of the Vehicle, including hood, rear engine deck, doors, and fenders.

12.4 Water Intrusion Liability (Strict). You are strictly liable for all costs associated with water damage to interior/leather/carpet/gauges/electrical systems, including professional drying, mold remediation, and component replacement.

13.2 Your Inspection Duty. You must inspect the Vehicle before leaving and promptly document any pre-existing Damage on Schedule A and in photos. Unreported conditions may be treated as Damage caused during the Rental Period.

28.3 Company Option to Require Binding Mediation. If the Dispute is not resolved within the Cure Period, then Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to require binding mediation by delivering written notice to Renter (a “Mediation Election Notice”) at any time before Company files an answer or other responsive pleading in a court proceeding (or, if no proceeding has been filed, at any time after the Cure Period). If Company elects binding mediation, Renter will participate in binding mediation as the exclusive next step and will not file or continue any proceeding except as permitted under this Section 28. If Company does not elect binding mediation, Company may waive mediation and the Parties may proceed in court subject to Section 29 (exclusive Miami-Dade venue).

The mediator will be a neutral attorney or retired judge with at least ten (10) years’ experience in commercial disputes, selected as follows: Company will propose three candidates; Renter will select one within five (5) business days; if Renter fails to select, Company will select.

This Agreement and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Vehicle, the rental transaction, or the Parties’ relationship (each, a “Dispute”) will be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflicts-of-law principles. Subject to Section 28.3 (Company-option binding mediation), any lawsuit or court proceeding relating to a Dispute will be brought exclusively in the state courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, or (if applicable jurisdiction exists) the federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
