The following sections also apply if you share your vehicle through the Services:
Host commitments
As a host, you commit that you will provide a safe and legally registered and insured vehicle, with current license plates, with a clean (non-salvage/branded/written off) title, and in good mechanical condition. You will provide such vehicle on time but only to a guest who is listed on the Services as an Approved Driver for the booking. You commit that your listings will be complete and accurate, and you will honor all representations made in your listings, including honoring the price quoted to a guest. You will not cancel a booking for the purpose of seeking a higher price from a guest. You will not offer any vehicle or optional Extra that you do not yourself own or have authority to share, or that may not be shared for compensation pursuant to the terms and conditions of any agreement with a third party, including, but not limited to, a lease or financing agreement. You will not offer any Extra that is not safe, clean, and acceptable for the use it is intended. You will not offer any vehicle that is the subject of a missing or stolen vehicle report, or the subject of a safety recall without first properly addressing the matter subject to the recall. You will not offer a vehicle that is not roadworthy (i.e., not “street legal”) in the location where it is shared, and it will not have any illegal modifications to any part of the vehicle. You will remove any firearms or other weapons from your vehicle prior to providing it to a guest. You will repay loans related to your Revolution business on time and in full.
Information given at registration
When you sign up for Revolution, you will identify passenger vehicle(s) that you want to list for sharing through the Services. Each vehicle must meet the requirements found herein. You may only use the Services in connection with vehicles that you own or otherwise have all the necessary rights and permissions to share for compensation.
Listing only on the Services
In the United States, any vehicle you list on the Services must be exclusively listed on the Services. You cannot list any vehicles you intend to share on the Services on any other car sharing marketplace. Failure to abide by this condition may result in fines, penalties, denial of physical damage claims, removal of the vehicle from the Services, account closure, or other action, in Revolution’s sole discretion. This does not limit Commercial Hosts’ ability to maintain their own rental car business or prohibit a vehicle from being listed on ride sharing or other delivery services when not on a Revolution reservation.
Revolution photography
Revolution may offer hosts the option of having photographers take photographs of their vehicles and/or hosts with their vehicles (“Images”). You alone are responsible for using the Images in connection with your Revolution listing, and you agree that you will cease using the Images if they no longer accurately represent your vehicle. You agree that Revolution is the sole and exclusive owner — or exclusive licensee, as allowed by applicable law — of all right, title, and interest in all copyrights, trademark rights, and any and all other intellectual property rights, including right of publicity, worldwide, in the Images regardless of whether you include them in your listing, and you shall take no action to challenge or object to the validity of such rights or Revolution’s ownership or registration thereof. You acknowledge that Revolution may use the Images for advertising, marketing, commercial, and other business purposes in any media or platform, whether in relation to your listing or otherwise, without further notice or compensation. Further, you waive any and all rights to royalties or moral rights you may have in the Images. If you use the Revolution photography program, you agree that you will not use the Images in connection with sharing your vehicle on any platform, website, or application other than Revolution. At Revolution’s request, you will execute documents and take such further acts as Revolution may reasonably request to assist Revolution in acquiring, perfecting, and maintaining its intellectual property rights and other legal protection in the Images.
Vehicle availability
Once a booking is booked, you must make the vehicle available or deliver the vehicle as expected by the guest. If you offer the guest the option to pick up your vehicle at a persistent specified location, you must supply the location of the vehicle accurately to Revolution and ensure that the vehicle is available at that location at the beginning of the reservation period. In order to qualify for available protection plans, you must verify that a prospective guest has a current, valid driver’s license before you provide the guest your vehicle, and ensure the driver’s license matches the name on the reservation and that the person picking up the vehicle appears to match the photograph on a facially valid driver’s license.
Pricing, earnings, and payments
Revolution will pay you the amount collected from guests that book your vehicle, less the applicable fees payable to Revolution. To the extent you owe Revolution or any third party lender money for any reason, Revolution also reserves the right to deduct those amounts from your earnings payment, debit your bank account, charge any of your payment methods on file, and/or send you an invoice.
Maintenance
You are required to regularly check your vehicle for any defects in its operations or safety. You promise that, at all times, your vehicle will be in safe and roadworthy condition, in good mechanical condition, and in full compliance with all applicable inspection and registration requirements. You will only list vehicles with a clean, non-salvaged, non-written off, non-washed, and non-branded title. You agree to respond to any applicable recall or similar safety notices and to complete any recommended action before allowing your vehicle to be booked. In addition, if Revolution believes that your vehicle does not conform to reasonable standards, Revolution may notify you and reserves the right to remove or decline listing your vehicle until its concerns have been resolved.
Reporting vehicle damage
If you did not decline a protection plan made available via the Services, and you believe that a guest has caused any damage to your vehicle, you are required to report that damage as soon as you become aware of it (and in any event, no more than 24 hours after the scheduled end of the booking) and to provide reasonable cooperation in the investigation of the damage so that it can be eligible for coverage. Based on the investigation, Revolution or third-party claims administrators will reasonably determine whether the damage occurred during the reservation period and is eligible for coverage. If Revolution is not given prompt notice, or if you do not provide reasonable cooperation in the investigation, we may not be able to determine the cause, and you agree that we may decline any reimbursement or coverage for such damage.
Physical damage to your vehicle
Physical damage contractual reimbursement from Revolution applies to your vehicle in the event of a collision and to most comprehensive events during the booking, and is subject to terms and exclusions.
Actual cash value
If Revolution, or third-party claims administrators, choose to pay you the actual cash value for your vehicle, you will be required to transfer title to the vehicle to Revolution or a third party appointed by Revolution to accept title. The standard for determining the actual cash value will be as determined by Revolution or its third-party claims administrators and in compliance with applicable law.
Exclusions to physical damage reimbursement and coverage
Protection plans selected by hosts on the Services do not apply to:
- Optional Extras or personal property, including aftermarket installations (e.g., equipment racks), that are taken from your vehicle or damaged during a trip. Remove all personal property before making your vehicle available for a reservation.
- Normal wear and tear to your vehicle.
If you violate the Agreement, these Terms, or any of our Policies, or if you submit inaccurate information about your vehicle when listing it on the Services (for example, falsely represent the make, model, or year of the vehicle), any protection that may be provided by Revolution will be voided. Any protection may be voided under this provision even if the underlying circumstances are not directly related to the damage or harm at issue. You acknowledge that these provisions are material and that they serve to ensure your compliance. In the event your protection plan is voided, the remainder of the Agreement, these Terms, and our Policies remain in effect.
Other host-specific insurance matters
You will maintain valid and up to date registration information and proof of insurance in any vehicle you share on the Services. You must maintain your own auto insurance policy for any vehicle you list on the Services, and such policy must meet any minimum insurance levels required by law. You agree to provide Revolution with information regarding your auto insurance policy as may be requested and to keep such information up to date. Where not prohibited by law, you hereby appoint Revolution or a wholly owned subsidiary of Revolution as your attorney-in-fact for the purpose of filing insurance claims, receiving insurance payment, otherwise administering an applicable insurance policy, and/or working with law enforcement, guests, or private entities to recover your vehicle, as necessary.
Missing vehicles
If your vehicle goes missing, is not returned, and/or is stolen during the reservation period (or extension period), you, as the host, must immediately contact a Revolution representative and follow his or her instructions, including cooperating with Revolution, the police, and any other authorities in all matters related to the investigation of the theft. If you are instructed by Revolution to file a police report, you must do so within 24 hours of receiving those instructions.
Indemnification of host
In the event of any claim for a loss or injury that occurs during the use of your vehicle by a guest (or by Revolution itself), subject to your compliance with these Terms and the Policies, Revolution or its insurers will defend and indemnify you, subject to any exclusions or limitations in the policy or policies of insurance contained with the protection plan, against such claims as required by applicable law. In connection with any indemnified claim, you are required to give Revolution or its insurers prompt written notice of the claim, allow Revolution sole control over the defense of the claim, and provide Revolution reasonable cooperation in its defense of the claim, at Revolution’s expense. If Revolution or its insurers reimburses you for a lost or damaged vehicle and you later receive payment for some or all of your vehicle from a third party (e.g., a third party insurance company or restitution), you must reimburse Revolution any monies received from that third party in an amount equivalent to, but not to exceed, the funds provided to you by Revolution.
Additional terms for Commercial Hosts
You acknowledge and agree that you shall receive no protection or coverage from Revolution or any affiliates — whether that be financial responsibility for physical damage, third-party liability protection, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, PIP or any similar coverage or indemnification, roadside assistance, or trust and safety support — as part of a booking of your vehicle when you have chosen to provide your own commercial rental insurance. You shall add Revolution as an additional insured on all applicable automobile and excess liability policies. These provisions replace and supersede any representation made by Revolution, or those acting on behalf of Revolution, including but not limited to statements made on the Services, these Terms, Help Center, Policies, emails, and/or marketing materials, concerning protection plans, insurance, and roadside assistance otherwise offered to hosts and guests when the hosts do not decline protection via the Services.
You must disclose on your listing page any applicable additional fees, costs, and/or taxes you assess in addition to other requirements you may impose (such as a security deposit or if you do not accept debit cards, for example). You must never surprise guests with hidden costs or requirements at pick-up. Revolution reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to default your vehicles to a protection plan of our choice, remove your listings, or suspend your Revolution Account for failure to be transparent with guests about fees, costs, and requirements in your vehicle listing page.
You acknowledge that the actual damages likely to result from your breach of this section are difficult to estimate accurately and would be difficult for Revolution to prove with certainty. You will pay Revolution USD $5,500 per breach in liquidated damages to compensate Revolution for any such conduct. This amount is not intended as a punishment for any such breach, but rather as a reasonable estimate where actual damages are difficult to estimate accurately and/or prove with certainty.
You shall defend, indemnify, and hold Revolution, its subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, officers, directors, and agents, and any of your guests or their authorized drivers, harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, judgments, costs, expenses, liabilities, attorneys fees, damages, consequential damages, punitive damages, property damage, personal injury, theft or otherwise, without limitation, related to or arising out of any reservation or use of any vehicles, including without limitation any vehicle damage, personal injury, or property damage where you have declined a protection plan made available via the Services or one is not available in your region.
