FEES AND PAYMENT
There is no fee for visiting the Web Site, using any forums, or reviewing listings of items for sale or rent. If you decide to rent a bicycle or other equipment from our network of independent bike shops, you will be required to register on line, provide a valid credit card, and pay G.P.E. a rental reservation deposit fee, as described on the pages of this Web Site. The balance of the reservation fee shall be payable directly to the bike shop on the day of rental. You hereby agree to pay all applicable fees in connection with the services you select. You also hereby authorize G.P.E. automatically to charge your credit card account for any and all fees incurred by you or anyone using your login ID and password in renting bicycles or other equipment, without the need to provide any further notice to you of the fees so incurred. We reserve the right to change our price list and fees and to institute new charges at any time. Your use of the Web Site following such changes constitutes your acceptance of any new or increased charges. You acknowledge that all payments for services offered by G.P.E. are managed by an online payment platform serviced by Paypal or another third party payment provider. When you wish to reserve a bicycle or other equipment, you must enter your credit card information on the Web Site. G.P.E. then passes it along to the processor for payment. You agree that G.P.E. shall not be liable in the event of error, fraud, identity theft, or other problems with credit card processing or online payment processing.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

You expressly acknowledge and agree that G.P.E. is not liable or responsible for any defamatory, offensive or illegal conduct of other subscribers or third parties.

This limitation of liability section applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if G.P.E has been advised of the possibility of such damage. The foregoing limitation of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction.
