LandShark Carts User Rider / Rental Agreement

Liability Waiver​

This Rental Agreement, Liability Waiver, and Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”) is entered into between LandShark Carts (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and the individual signing below (“Renter,” “you,” or “Operator”). By renting and/or operating an electric golf cart or E-Bike (“Vehicle”), you agree to be bound by all terms contained herein. The term “Vehicle” includes the rented unit as well as all associated components, including batteries, charger, keys, locks, and accessories. All authorized users of the Vehicle are jointly and severally liable under this Agreement.

​

To rent or operate a vehicle, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the minimum legal age under applicable Costa Rican law), present a valid government-issued identification or passport, and, for golf cart operation, possess a valid driver's license recognized in Costa Rica. You represent that you are physically and mentally capable of safely operating the Vehicle.

​

You acknowledge that operating an E-Bike or golf cart involves inherent risks, including but not limited to collisions with vehicles or pedestrians, loss of control, mechanical failure, road hazards, weather conditions, and the actions of third parties. You voluntarily assume all such risks, whether known or unknown, and accept full responsibility for any resulting injury, damage, or loss.

​

Helmet use is mandatory at all times when operating an E-Bike, as required by Costa Rican law. Failure to wear a helmet constitutes a violation of this Agreement and may result in immediate termination of the rental without refund, with full liability assumed by the Rider.

​

You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations of Costa Rica, including the Ley de Tránsito por Vías Públicas Terrestres y Seguridad Vial (Law 9078), as well as any applicable municipal regulations in Tamarindo, Guanacaste, and surrounding areas. Golf carts may only be operated on authorized roadways and designated areas. Operation of any Vehicle on beaches is strictly prohibited under Costa Rican law. You are solely responsible for any fines, penalties, or violations incurred during the rental period.

​

You agree that the Vehicle will not be used under the influence of alcohol or drugs, for any illegal purpose, by any unauthorized person, or in any reckless or negligent manner. You further agree not to exceed passenger capacity, operate outside permitted areas, or tamper with any equipment, including batteries, GPS tracking devices, or speed control systems.

​

You acknowledge receipt of the Vehicle in good working condition and agree to inspect it prior to use. You agree to return the Vehicle at the agreed-upon time and in the same condition, normal wear and tear excepted. You remain fully responsible for the Vehicle until it is returned and inspected by the Company. Late returns may result in additional charges.

​

You accept full financial responsibility for any damage to, loss of, or theft of the Vehicle during the rental period, regardless of fault. This includes the cost of repairs or full replacement value if necessary, as well as loss of use. In the event the Vehicle is unavailable due to damage, you agree to pay a loss-of-use fee equal to eighty percent (80%) of the daily rental rate for each day the Vehicle is out of service.

 

A refundable security deposit may be required at the time of rental. The Company reserves the right to apply the deposit toward any damages, late fees, missing equipment, fines, or other charges incurred under this Agreement. Any remaining balance will be returned after inspection of the Vehicle.

​

You acknowledge and agree that the Vehicle may be equipped with GPS tracking and monitoring systems for safety, theft prevention, and operational purposes. By entering into this Agreement, you consent to such tracking. Tampering with or disabling GPS equipment is strictly prohibited and constitutes a breach of this Agreement.

​

The Company does not provide personal injury or liability insurance. Any insurance coverage provided, if required by Costa Rican law, is limited and secondary. You are solely responsible for any personal injury, third-party liability, or property damage arising from your use of the Vehicle.

​

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless LandShark Carts, their owners, employees, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including legal fees, arising out of or related to your use or misuse of the Vehicle.

​

All rentals are final. NO REFUNDS, NO EXCEPTIONS. At the Company's sole discretion, a credit may be issued or rental dates may be rescheduled based on availability.

​

The Company reserves the right to terminate this Agreement without refund if you violate any terms, operate the Vehicle in an unsafe manner, or violate applicable laws. In such cases, the Company may repossess the Vehicle at your expense.

​

The Company is not responsible for any personal belongings that are lost, stolen, or damaged during the rental period.

​

This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Costa Rica. Any disputes arising under this Agreement shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation and, if unresolved, shall be subject to arbitration or legal proceedings within Costa Rica.

​

This document constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior discussions or representations. No modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by the Company.

​

By signing below, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to all terms and conditions of this Agreement, and that you accept full legal and financial responsibility for the use of the Vehicle.
