Up Sonder reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Up Sonder Account and your access to the Platform if you provide false or misleading information or otherwise violate these Terms.

You may cancel your Up Sonder Account at any time via the "Cancel Account" or other similarly designated feature of the Platform or by sending us an email.

VI.  Equipment and Service Listings

As a Provider, you may create Listings. To create a Listing, you will be asked a variety of questions about the Equipment or Service to be listed, including, but not limited to, type, size, functionality, location and availability of the Equipment or Service and pricing and related rules and financial terms. Listings will be made publicly available via the Platform. Other Members will be able to book your Equipment or Service via the Platform based upon the information provided in your Listing. You understand and agree that once a Renter requests a booking of your Equipment or Service, you may not request the Renters to pay a higher price than in the booking request.

You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for the content of any and all Listings and Member Content you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Listing you post and the booking of, or a Renter's use of, any Equipment or Service in a Listing you post (i) will not violate these Terms, (ii) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, (iii) will be in compliance with all applicable laws (such as FAA laws and laws governing rentals of drones and other Equipment), tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Equipment or Service included in a Listing you post (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (iv) will not conflict with the rights of third parties.

Up Sonder assumes no responsibility for a Member’s compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations. Up Sonder reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason, including Listings that Up Sonder, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or otherwise harmful to the Platform.

If you are a Provider, you understand and agree that Up Sonder does not act as an insurer or as your agent. If a Renter requests a booking of your Equipment or Service and uses your Equipment or Service, any agreement you enter into with such Renter is between only you and the Renter. Up Sonder is not a party to any transaction between a Provider and a Renter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Up Sonder serves as the limited authorized payment collection agent of the Providers for the purpose of accepting, on behalf of the Providers, payments from Renters of such amounts stipulated by the Providers.

When you create a Listing, you may also choose to include certain requirements which must be met by the Members who are eligible to request a booking of your Equipment or Service, such as requiring Members to have a profile picture or be verified, in order to book your Equipment or Service.  If you are a Provider, you acknowledge and agree that, as a Provider, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals who reside at or are otherwise present at the exchange at your request or invitation, excluding the Renters (and the individuals the Renters invite to the exchange, if applicable).

Up Sonder recommends that Providers obtain appropriate insurance for their Equipment or Services. Please review any insurance policy that you may have for your Equipment or Service carefully, and in particular please make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Renters (and the individuals the Renters invite to the exchange, if applicable) while at the exchange.

VII.  No Endorsement

Up Sonder does not endorse any Member or any Equipment or Service. Any references on the Platform to a Member being "verified" or "connected" (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification process, and does not represent anything else, including without limitation, the truth or completeness of the information provided during the verification process. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Up Sonder about any Member, including of the Member's identity and whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. We therefore recommend that you always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to book with a Provider or to accept a booking request from a Renter, or to have any other interaction with any other Member.

By using the Platform, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Members or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Members or other third parties who caused you harm. You agree not to attempt to impose liability on or seek any legal remedy from Up Sonder with respect to such actions or omissions. Accordingly, we encourage you to communicate directly with other Members on the Platform regarding any bookings or Listings made by you. This limitation shall not apply to any claim by a Provider against Up Sonder regarding the remittance of payments received from a Renter by Up Sonder on behalf of a Provider, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled "Limitation of Liability".

VIII.  Financial Terms

A.    Bookings and Financial Terms for Providers and Renters

The Provider alone, and not Up Sonder, is responsible for determining and setting the Up Sonder Fees for her or his Listing. The Provider may in her or his sole discretion decide to include in these amounts a security deposit, maintenance fee or any other fee permitted on the Up Sonder platform.

If you are a Provider and a booking is requested for your Equipment or Service via the Platform, you will be required to either confirm or reject the booking request within the applicable Booking Request Period; otherwise the booking request will automatically expire. When a booking is requested via the Platform, at our discretion we may share with you (i) the first and last name of the Renters who has requested the booking, (ii) a link to the Renter's Up Sonder Account profile page, (iii) if the Renter and Provider have both connected their Up Sonder accounts to SNS, the names of any members of an SNS with whom you are "friends" or associated on the SNS if such individuals are also "friends" or associated with the Renter on such SNS, and (iv) an indication of whether or not the Renter has provided other information to Up Sonder, such as a verified email address, connection to SNSs, or a government ID. If you are unable to confirm or decide to reject a booking request within the Booking Request Period, any amounts collected by Up Sonder for the requested booking will be refunded to the Renters. When a Provider confirms a booking requested by a Renter, Up Sonder may send you a confirmation message via the Platform or some other means.

Up Sonder will collect from the Renter the Total Fees at the time of booking confirmation (i.e. when the Provider confirms the booking request) and will initiate payment of the Equipment and/or Service Fees less the Provider Fees in respect of the Provider Fees to the Provider after 24 hours of when the Renter takes possession of the applicable Equipment or Service (except to the extent that a refund is due to the Renter). The time it takes for the Provider to receive payouts may depend upon the payout method chosen by the Provider. Some methods involve the use of third party payment processors, who may impose their own additional charges for the use of their services on the Provider, including by deducting their charges from the payout amount.  The Provider shall not be entitled to in any respect any portion of the Renter Fees, which are solely collectable by Up Sonder.

B.    Setoffs and Delinquent Payments

If you owe or agree to pay any amount to Up Sonder (whether as a result of your bookings or actions as a Renter or otherwise and whether or not such amount is yet due), then Up Sonder may (but is not obliged to) withhold the amount owed to Up Sonder from any payout amounts due to you as a Provider, and use the withheld amount to offset the amount owed by you to Up Sonder. If Up Sonder does so, then your obligation to pay Up Sonder will be extinguished to the extent of the amount withheld by Up Sonder, and Up Sonder will cease to owe to you any obligations (including, but not limited to, any obligation to pay you) with respect to the amount withheld. In addition to the amount due, if your account is delinquent or you otherwise have chargebacks on your account, you may be charged fees that are incidental to our collection of these delinquent amounts and chargebacks. Such fees or charges may include collection fees, convenience fees, or other third party charges. You hereby explicitly agree that all communication in relation to delinquent accounts will be made by electronic mail or by phone, as provided to Up Sonder by you. Such communication may be made by Up Sonder or by anyone on its behalf, including but not limited to a third party collection agent.

C.    Appointment of Up Sonder as Limited Payment Collection Agent for Providers

Each Provider hereby appoints Up Sonder as the Provider's limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the Up Sonder Fees from Renters.  Each Provider agrees that payment made by a Renter through Up Sonder, shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Provider, and the Provider will make the Equipment or Service available to the Renter in the agreed-upon manner as if the Provider has received the Up Sonder Fees.

Each Provider agrees that Up Sonder may, in accordance with the cancellation policy selected by the Provider and reflected in the relevant Listing, (i) permit the Renter to cancel the booking and (ii) refund (via Up Sonder) to the Renter that portion of the Up Sonder Fees specified in the applicable cancellation policy. Each Provider understands that Up Sonder accepts payments from Renters as the Provider's limited payment collection agent and that Up Sonder’s obligation to pay the Provider is subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the associated payments from Renters. Up Sonder does not guarantee payments to Providers for amounts that have not been successfully received by Up Sonder from Renters. In accepting appointment as the limited authorized agent of the Provider, Up Sonder assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Provider.

Up Sonder does not currently charge fees for the creation of Listings. However, you as a Provider acknowledge and agree that Up Sonder reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to charge you for and collect fees from you for the creation of Listings. Up Sonder will provide notice of any Listing fee collection via the Platform, prior to implementing such a Listing fee feature.

D.    Bookings and Financial Terms for Renters

The Providers, not Up Sonder, are solely responsible for honoring any confirmed bookings and making available any Equipment or Service reserved through the Platform. If you, as a Renter, choose to enter into a transaction with a Provider for the booking of an Equipment or Service, you agree and understand that you will be required to enter into an agreement with the Provider and you agree to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such Equipment or Service imposed by the Provider. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not Up Sonder, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any such agreements, that Up Sonder is not a party to such agreements, and that, with the exception of its payment obligations hereunder, Up Sonder disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements.

You acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the fact that Up Sonder is not a party to the agreement between you and the Provider, Up Sonder acts as the Provider's payment collection agent for the limited purpose of accepting payments from you on behalf of the Provider. Upon your payment of the Total Fees to Up Sonder, your payment obligation to the Providers for the Up Sonder Fees is extinguished, and Up Sonder is responsible for remitting to the Provider the Up Sonder Fees less the Provider Fees in the manner described in these Terms. In the event that Up Sonder does not remit any such amounts as described in these Terms, such Provider will have recourse only against Up Sonder.

The Total Fees payable will be displayed to a Renter before the Renter sends a booking request to a Provider. As noted above, the Provider is required to either confirm or reject the booking request within the applicable Booking Request Period; otherwise, the requested booking will be automatically cancelled. If a requested booking is cancelled (i.e. not confirmed by the applicable Provider), any amounts collected by Up Sonder will be refunded to such Renter, depending on the selections the Renter makes via the Platform, and any pre-authorization of such Renter's credit card or other payment method will be released, if applicable.

You as a Renter agree to pay Up Sonder for the Total Fees for any booking requested in connection with your Up Sonder Account if such requested bookings are confirmed by the applicable Provider. In order to establish a booking pending the applicable Provider's confirmation of your requested booking, you understand and agree that Up Sonder, on behalf of the Provider, reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) obtain a pre-authorization via your credit card or other payment for the Total Fees or (ii) charge your credit card or other payment method a nominal amount, not to exceed one dollar ($1), or a similar sum in the currency in which you are transacting (e.g. one euro or one British pound), to verify your credit card or other payment method. As a general rule, Up Sonder will collect the Total Fees due once Up Sonder receives confirmation of your booking from the applicable Provider; if necessary, Total Fees may instead be collected at a later point. Up Sonder cannot control any fees that may be charged to a Renter by her or his bank, financial institution, or payment provided, related to Up Sonder's collection of the Total Fees, and Up Sonder disclaims all liability in this regard.

In connection with your requested booking, you will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address and credit card or other payment information either to Up Sonder or its third party payment processor(s). You agree to pay Up Sonder for any confirmed bookings made in connection with your Up Sonder Account in accordance with these Terms by one of the methods described on the Platform, e.g. by PayPal or credit card. You hereby authorize the collection of such amounts by charging the credit card or other payment method provided as part of requesting the booking, either directly by Up Sonder or indirectly, via a third party online payment processor or by one of the payment methods described on the Platform. You also authorize Up Sonder to charge your credit card or other payment method in the event of damage caused to Equipment as contemplated under "Damage to Equipment or Services" below and for Security Deposits, if applicable. If you are directed to Up Sonder third party payment processor(s), you may be subject to terms and conditions governing use of that third party's service and that third party's personal information collection practices.

E.    Security Deposits

Providers may choose to include security deposits in their Listings ("Security Deposits"). Each Listing will describe whether a Security Deposit is required for the applicable Equipment or Service.  The amount of the Security Deposit shall be determined solely by the Provider, in the Provider’s discretion, to cover the costs associated with any potential repair or replacement of Equipment or any other potential or actual loss.  Up Sonder bears no responsibility for determining the amount of a Security Deposit or the adequacy thereof in relation to the Provider’s Equipment or Service.  If a Security Deposit is included in a Listing for a confirmed booking of any Equipment or Service, and a Provider makes a claim against such Security Deposit, Up Sonder will, in its capacity as the payment collection agent of the Provider, use its commercially reasonable efforts to charge the Renter's payment method in the amount of the Security Deposit, within a reasonable period of time after the Renter's return of the Equipment or completion of Service. Up Sonder will also use its commercially reasonable efforts to address Providers' requests and claims related to Security Deposits, but Up Sonder is not responsible for administering or accepting any claims by Providers related to Security Deposits, and disclaims any and all liability in this regard.

F.    Explanation of Service Fees and Charges

In consideration for the use of Up Sonder's Platform, Up Sonder charges Service Fees. Up Sonder deducts the Provider Fees from the Equipment and Service Fees before remitting the balance to the Provider as described in these Terms. Renter Fees are, as noted above, included in the Total Fees.

Balances will be remitted by Up Sonder to Providers via direct deposit or other payment methods, as described on the Platform, in the Provider's currency of choice, depending upon the selections the Provider makes via the Platform. Amounts may be rounded up or down as described in the "Rounding” section below.

Provider and Renter Fees are non-refundable.

G.    Cancellations and Refunds

If, as a Provider, you cancel a confirmed booking, you agree that Up Sonder may apply penalties or consequences to you or your Listing, including (i) publishing an automated review on your Listing indicating that a reservation was cancelled, (ii) keeping the calendar for your Listing unavailable or blocked for the dates of the cancelled booking, or (iii) imposing a cancellation fee (to be withheld from your future payouts or charged to the credit card on file in your Up Sonder Account). You will be notified of the situations in which a cancellation fee applies before you decide to cancel. In certain circumstances, Up Sonder may decide, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary or desirable to cancel a confirmed booking made via the Platform.  Up Sonder may also determine, in its sole discretion, to refund to the Renter part or all of the amounts charged to the Renter in accordance with the Renter Refund Policy. You agree that Up Sonder and the relevant Renter or Provider will not have any liability for such cancellations or refunds. If, as a Provider, your Renter cancels a confirmed booking or Up Sonder decides that it is necessary to cancel a confirmed booking, and Up Sonder issues a refund to the Renter in accordance with the Renter Refund Policy or other applicable cancellation policies, you agree that in the event you have already been paid Up Sonder shall be entitled to recover the amount of any such Renter refund from you, including by subtracting such refund amount out from any future Up Sonder Fees due to you.

If, as a Renter, you cancel your requested booking before the requested booking is confirmed by a Provider, Up Sonder will cancel any pre-authorization to your credit card or other payment method and/or refund any nominal amounts charged to your credit card or other payment method in connection with the requested booking within a commercially reasonable time. If, as a Renter, you wish to cancel a confirmed booking made via the Platform, either prior to or after taking possession of the Equipment or Service, the cancellation policy of the Provider contained in the applicable Listing will apply to such cancellation. Our ability to refund the Up Sonder Fees and other amounts charged to you will depend upon the terms of the applicable cancellation policy. Details regarding refunds and cancellation policies are available via the Platform. The Renter Fee is non-refundable regardless of the cancellation policy selected by the Provider. If a Provider cancels a confirmed booking made via the Platform, (i) Up Sonder will refund the Total Fees for such booking to the applicable Renter within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation and (ii) the Renter will receive an email or other communication from Up Sonder containing alternative Listings and other related information.

A.    Up Sonder’s Damage Waiver

UP SONDER IS NOT AN INSURER OR INSURANCE BROKER. THE DAMAGE WAIVER FEE IS NOT INSURANCE.

Renters may pay the Damage Waiver Fee during check out. Renters who pay Up Sonder’s Damage Waiver Fee will receive a credit of up to $2,500 worth of losses toward total replacement or repair costs if any damage occurs during normal operation. Renters will be liable for damages beyond the $2,500 amount. Renters who choose to opt out of the Damage Waiver Fee will automatically have a $500 authorization hold placed on their credit card to cover any potential damage to the drone while in their possession. In addition, if the Renter opted out of the Damage Waiver Fee, they will be obligated to pay 100% of the replacement or repair costs and Up Sonder has the right to charge the Renter’s credit card up to the full value of the drone for any theft, loss, or damage. It is the responsibility of both Renter and Provider to inspect returned items upon pickup and return of the items. All claims for theft or loss must be reported to Up Sonder within 24 hours of the return date. Up Sonder requires an official copy of a police report verifying any theft.

Up Sonder strictly prohibits all transactions through US mail, FedEx, UPS or any other delivery service, with the exception of UberRUSH. Any transaction in violation of this prohibition will void Up Sonder’s Damage Waiver.

THE DAMAGE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE ARE SUBJECT TO USERS COMPLIANCE WITH ALL OTHER TERMS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.

Users who purchase the protection plan must file a dispute with Up Sonder ([email protected]). Up Sonder will conduct an investigation into the dispute and come to a conclusion with regard to liability and amount of damage. Damage verified by Up Sonder of up to $2,500 will be waived for those who have paid for the Damage Wavier Fee.

Users authorize Up Sonder to conduct investigations on disputes filed by other Users. Up Sonder does not warrant that they will assist in User Disputes, however, Up Sonder reserves the right to assist with User Disputes.

Up Sonder Nondiscrimination Policy – Drones for All

Up Sonder was created to take the world up by sharing a fascination of the sky through drones. Everyone should have this opportunity and we encourage a culture that does not discriminate against disability, race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, sex, marital status, gender identity and expression, age or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal or state law. Up Sonder expects all Up Sonder community members to abide by local laws and does not require Up Sonder community members to violate local laws or take actions that may subject them to legal liability. As a company Up Sonder believes our marketplace should welcome all who wish to take to the skies, no matter who they are, where they come from, how they worship, or whom they love. Bias, prejudice, racism, and hatred have no place in the Up Sonder community.


ACTION AGAINST DISCRIMINATION

Providers should make every effort to be welcoming to Renters of all backgrounds. Providers who demonstrate a pattern of discriminately rejecting Renters may be suspended from actively listing their drone or service on the Up Sonder marketplace. Such discrimination includes, but is not limited to, refusing to provide or approve Renters based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status. Any Provider or Renter found to have violated Up Sonder’s nondiscrimination policy may face action against their account up to and including restricting access to the Up Sonder marketplace or having their account deleted.

If a particular account, including listings, reviews and internal messaging, contains language contrary to the Up Sonder nondiscrimination policy, the Provider or Renter will be asked to remove the language and affirm her or his understanding and intent to comply with this policy and its underlying principles. If either Provider or Renter uses language demonstrating that her or his actions were motivated by factors prohibited by this policy, Up Sonder, in its discretion, will take steps to enforce this policy.

By accepting the Up Sonder nondiscrimination policy, you agree to abide by this policy and interact with everyone in the Up Sonder community—regardless of their race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or age—with respect, and without judgment or bias, even when views may not reflect your personal beliefs.
