ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION, INCLUDING TERMS
THAT MAY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, SUCH AS WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE. YOUR
USE OF ANY VEHICLES SIGNIFIES ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY
AMENDMENTS THERETO.
By applying to use any Program services, you expressly acknowledge that you have had an
opportunity to review this Agreement and all other documents incorporated by reference in full and
to consult advisors (including your attorney) as you may determine appropriate, and you agree to be
bound by the terms of this Agreement. If M4A accepts your application, the terms of this Agreement
immediately constitute a binding contract. You acknowledge that you have received and read a copy
of the M4A Carshare Handbook and agree to observe and be bound by it, including any amendments
to it. You confirm that you have not relied on any advice, information, representation, assertion,
guarantee, or warranty provided to you by M4A, or any collateral contract or other assurance, except
those expressly set out in this Agreement.
You further agree that before being allowed to operate M4A Vehicles, you will complete a M4A
orientation explaining details of the Program and answering any questions you have about this
Agreement.
Eligibility
In order to qualify for initial and continuing participation in the Program, you understand and agree
that M4A, the Program, its insurers and agents, or any other third party who needs access to your
driving history in order to facilitate your participation in the Program, may check your driving history.
You agree to provide M4A, its insurers, agents, or any other third party any authorizations or
information necessary to enable them to access your driving record. M4A, its insurers, and agents,
regardless of whether your application is approved, will retain the information solicited for the
Program in connection with the approval process. Approval of your use of Vehicles is entirely within
the discretion of M4A, and approval can be withheld or revoked, and this Agreement terminated, at
any time and for any lawful reason. You warrant that you have held a valid Washington State driver
license or a valid driver license from another state with a driving history of at least two (2) consecutive
years. You further warrant that you will notify M4A immediately in the event your license is revoked,
suspended, or expired. In the event you fail to report such revocation, suspension, or expiration of
your driver license, M4A has the right to immediately terminate, upon written notice, this Agreement
and all documents incorporated by reference herein.
Your eligibility to participate in the Program will be conditioned on:
• Your age. Participants shall be between 21 and 79 years of age, unless otherwise exempted
by any supplements to this Agreement.
• The number and type of moving and non-moving violation citations you have received and the
number and type of automobile accidents in which you have been involved during the past
three (3) years.
• Absence of any moving violations related to driving under the influence (“DUI”) within the past
four (4) years. Any DUI conviction during this time precludes a Participant from participating in
the Program.
• Absence of any major moving violations within the past four (4) years. Any major moving
violations during this time period precludes a Participant from participating in the Program.
You agree to disclose, in writing, any accidents, moving or non-moving violation citations, or moving
violations related to DUI that occur during the term of Program participation, whether or not they
occur while you are driving a M4A Vehicle. If it is found that you have been involved in such violations,
M4A has the right to terminate your participation or application. Any moving violation related to DUI
occurring during the term of your participation will result in the immediate termination of participation
in the Program.
Payment
You agree and understand that M4A will check your driving records and charge you a one-time sign-
up fee not to exceed $25 to determine your eligibility. You acknowledge that this one-time registration
fee will not be reimbursed, even in the event that you are not accepted into the Program. You agree
that M4A may charge an annual renewal fee not to exceed $15 to determine if there has been any
change to your eligibility.
In consideration for your participation in the Program, you agree to pay M4A the monthly access fee
and usage rates as listed on the Rate Sheet and acknowledge that these charges can be amended
by M4A from time to time with or without notice and agree to be bound by any amendments to the
Rate Sheet. M4A will make reasonable attempts to inform Participants of any pending changes to
these rates by posting the revised Rate Sheet on the M4A website.
You hereby authorize M4A to electronically deduct all usage charges that you incur at the time of
reservation using the designated credit or debit card, as well as any applicable membership fees,
access fees, damage pool fees, toll or similar charges incurred while you are using a Vehicle, and
other fees and penalties. All payments made by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise
determined by M4A. M4A will provide you with an electronic receipt for each such transaction.
You are solely responsible for the insurance deductible of up to $5,000 for damages in cases
in which the insurance adjustment process has determined you are wholly or partially
responsible. In any case in which your driving was negligent, careless, reckless, or illegal,
M4A may require you to pay higher deductible amounts and other costs arising out of your
driving. You are also solely responsible for all damages not covered by insurance. You
hereby authorize M4A to charge the card that you have placed on file with the Program for all
of the costs described in this paragraph.
You agree that M4A may assess you for any outstanding fees and/or charges that you incur, using
your card on file, during the term of this Agreement and for up to 60 days following expiration or
termination of this Agreement by either party. If there are late payments or insufficient funds to pay
any amounts you owe, you are responsible for payment of fines as described in this Agreement or
Program documents. M4A has the right to pursue legal action against you for any unpaid charges,
fines, fees, and any costs that we incur in recovering these amounts from you.
M4A has the right to restrict your access to Vehicles if any usage charges, as well as any applicable
Membership fees, access fees, or toll or similar charges are not immediately paid when due.
Termination of your Participation by M4A
M4A may immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice to you, if:
(1) (2) Any moving violation related to DUI occurs during the term of your participation;
Any breach of this Agreement, and all documents incorporated by reference, including the
M4A Carshare Handbook, occurs by you; or
(3) You fail to immediately report any suspension, revocation, or expiration of your driver license.
M4A has the right to terminate your participation in the Program if any usage charges that you incur
at the time of reservation, as well as any applicable Membership fees, access fees, toll or similar
charges, or late fees incurred while you are participating in the Program are not resolved within 14
calendar days of M4A’s notice to you.
Cancelation of Participation by You
You may cancel your participation in the Program at any time and for any reason by providing written
notice to M4A.
Use of Vehicles
If your application is accepted, M4A will, subject to all the terms and conditions in this Agreement,
provide you with access to Vehicles, and pay for Vehicle-related expenses such as tires, insurance
(excluding the deductible), and repairs. M4A will insure the Vehicles under a comprehensive
insurance policy, the details of which are available from the Program.
You are the only person authorized to operate the Vehicles.
While using the Vehicles, you are responsible for their maintenance and safety. You shall perform
a visual inspection of the exterior and interior of the Vehicle prior to use and upon return of
the Vehicle, and it is your responsibility to ensure the Vehicle is plugged in and charging at
the conclusion of the rental. You must report any cosmetic, safety, and maintenance issues
to M4A immediately through the M4A Program mobile app. M4A will endeavor to keep the
Vehicles clean and well-maintained and will periodically inspect the Vehicles. However, M4A does
not make any representations or warranties as to the fitness or condition of any Vehicle and is not
responsible for defects that occur while a Participant is using a Vehicle.
You are responsible for ensuring the safe operation of any Vehicle that you drive. You shall disclose
to M4A at the time of occurrence or as soon as reasonably possible any property damage, accidents,
moving violation citations, or other citation (including parking tickets) arising out of your operation of
Vehicle. You acknowledge sole responsibility for any such citations and agree to pay any fines
arising from those citations. You shall operate all Vehicles and accessories, as well as any of your
equipment that you use in connection with operation of the Vehicles (including, without limitation,
child seats, booster seats, etc.), strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, including
those provided in the Vehicle’s Owner’s Manual, and in compliance with all applicable laws,
regulations, ordinances, and other legal requirements.
You agree that Vehicles shall be used only in connection with legal activities. You agree to abide by
the terms of any additional agreement made by you and M4A from time to time governing the use of
a particular Vehicle (such as the ADA Vans).
You shall secure the Vehicle against theft, vandalism, or improper use by others, including closing
all windows and sunroof, and ensuring all doors, windows, and the trunk are locked when you leave
the Vehicle during a stop or at the end of your trip.
You shall return the Vehicle when due and in approximately the same condition of cleanliness as
when first reserved. You acknowledge that M4A may assess fees and/or penalties in connection with
your failure to abide by these terms of use, including any cleaning fees necessitated by your use of
the vehicle.
You accept responsibility for paying all costs, fines, and fees that M4A assesses or that you
are otherwise responsible for as described in this Agreement, including the M4A Carshare
Handbook and other documents incorporated by reference.
M4A IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOST, DAMAGED, OR STOLEN PERSONAL
BELONGINGS LEFT IN OR ON A VEHICLE AT ANY TIME.
