The Owner understands that THE BRISKBY WARRANTY PLAN is limited to theft, loss or damage to the Gear during the scheduled rental period, and only in the event that the Renter defaults on its obligations under the Agreement and where the owner is unsuccessful claiming against their own business guarantee policy and or their home and contents guarantee policy, that it does not cover ordinary wear and tear, any repairs or replacements paid for by the Renter, or any theft or damage occurring prior to or after conclusion of the scheduled rental period. THE BRISKBY WARRANTY PLAN only provides coverage for Gear rented through the Briskby Platform. No coverage is provided for third party property, personal injuries or other losses, which are the sole responsible of the Renter or Owner, as applicable.

When you file a damage or theft claim, Briskby determines, at its sole discretion, whether your claim qualifies for coverage under THE BRISKBY WARRANTY PLAN and if it does, if the item categorisation is compliant with our guidelines as per article 1.2 of the present agreement. Briskby’s original determination is considered final, but you may be able to file an appeal of the decision with Briskby if you have new or compelling information not available at the time of the original determination or you believe there was an error in the decision-making process.

Pre Rental form must be always signed by both parties prior to commencing the use of the Equipment and, in any case, prior to picking up or delivering, should be this latter the collection method agreed by Owner and Renter.

Should Owner and Renter opt for delivery with a courier or any other similar mean, any damage, theft, loss that may occur during shipment, Briskby is waived of any liability.

7.2. In order to access THE BRISKBY WARRANTY PLAN, Owners must first have:

1. included accurate and current photographs and description of the Gear within the listing prior to the rental period, and to the extent such photographs and description are sufficient to establish the make, model, components and condition of the gear and any accessories (if applicable).
2. for Damage
1. where there is not total loss, the Owner must have communicated via the Briskby Platform with the Renter with regards to payment of costs in accordance with Briskby Rental Agreement, within twenty four (24) hours of completion of the rental, and communicated within seventy two (72) hours of completion of the rental that they have not as yet received funds from the Renter in accordance with Briskby Rental Agreement.
2. If there is damage to a gear during a Rental, the Owner must notify Briskby within twenty four (24) hours of completion of the rental or prior to any subsequent rental, whichever occurs first. If any damage is not reported during such period, then the damage shall be presumed to have occurred subsequent to the rental. Owner shall be responsible for the cost of any diagnostic fees, estimates, tune-ups, adjustments, etc.
3. have accurately completed and submitted to Briskby Pre Rental Form and Post Rental Form for the transaction
4. Provide to Briskby photographic evidence of the damage
3. For Theft
1. If Renter does not return a Gear at the conclusion of the rental, and does not agree within twenty-four (24) hours to schedule a new return time, or does not return the Gear at such rescheduled return time, then the Owner:
1. agrees to file a report with the applicable police department and provide a copy of such report to Briskby. In filing the report, Owner is required to notify the police department of THE BRISKBY WARRANTY PLAN, and that Briskby may ultimately be subrogate to Owner’s right to recovery of the Gear. Owner must also authorize the police department to discuss and provide any information regarding the case with Briskby; and
2. must notify Briskby within twenty four (24) hours of completion of the rental (or renter has not returned the gear at such rescheduled time) that a theft has occurred. If the theft is not reported during such period, then the theft shall be presumed to have occurred subsequent to the rental.

All claims under THE BRISKBY WARRANTY PLAN require that the Owner has communicated with Briskby within twenty-four (24) hours of return of the Gear; late claims will not be honoured. No exceptions to the 24-hour rule will be honoured. All claims for damage must include the evidence as noted herein; however, Briskby reserves the option to require a physical inspection prior to making any payment under THE BRISKBY WARRANTY PLAN. Any claim for a stolen Gear must be accompanied by a police report to be valid. For all claims, the Owner may be required to provide additional documentation, such as purchase receipts, maintenance records, and such other documents as Briskby may request in its reasonable discretion.

7.3. Any evidence that implies, at Briskby’s full discretion, that the Owner has not complied (or attempted to not comply) with any of the Agreement at any time or for any transaction, including transacting outside of Briskby platform will mean the said Owner is unable to access THE BRISKBY WARRANTY PLAN. If the Owner has complied with these terms at all times since becoming a User, Briskby will first attempt to recover the costs from the particular Renter through any number of means, including through its secure payment gateways (Stripe or Paypal), charging the Renter’s credit card or contacting the Renter directly. Briskby reserves the right to attempt to recover from the Renter for up to 180 days before paying out any claim under this policy.

7.4. Renter Default

Where a Renter has not made good on its obligations under this Agreement, and where Briskby has been unsuccessful in its attempts to recover the money owing to the Owner, where the Owner has business guarantee or Home and Contents guarantee, the Owner is obliged to attempt to recover their loss from their insurer before making a claim for THE BRISKBY WARRANTY PLAN. Where the Owner has a business guarantee policy or home and contents guarantee policy, the Owner must provide Briskby evidence that their claim has been unsuccessful.

Where the Owner has met all terms and processes of the Agreement, THE BRISKBY WARRANTY PLAN will then be engaged.

7.5. Replacement or Reimbursement

Where THE BRISKBY WARRANTY PLAN has been engaged, and at its sole discretion, Briskby may replace or reimburse the Owner under the following but up to the maximum amounts covered by THE BRISKBY WARRANTY PLAN only:

1. For damage included in Briskby Rental Agreement, per the amounts prescribed within Briskby Rental Agreement.
2. For total loss, for lost or stolen Gear, or where the repair cost would exceed the replacement value of the Gear, Briskby will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Owner with a Gear that is of a similar make, model and year, and with similar components and other aftermarket parts or if the Gear or components are not reasonably available at standard retail prices Briskby reserves the right to provide Gear of equal quality or a cash amount of equal value. In order to determine the value of the Gear and/or components in question, Briskby will use market indicators to determine the fair market value and shall also account for any salvage value of the gear, if applicable. These values are determined by year, condition, and overall value and may use the following sources: product manufacturer’s websites, our network of industry partners and shops, e-commerce websites such as Amazon, Craigslist, Ebay and other reliable sources to be used at Briskby’s discretion. Briskby may use other relevant factors in its reasonable discretion.
3. For damage, beyond Briskby Rental Agreement, but where the cost of repairs is less than total loss, the repair cost of the Gear shall be determined at Briskby’s reasonable discretion, and may be in consultation with professional repair personnel knowledgeable in the appropriate field.

7.6. Engaging the Renter’s Household Contents Insurance

In case of a dispute following the opening of a claim as per 7.2 and 7.3, Renters who hold a Household Contents Insurance may want to check with their Insurer whether or not and how long would it take to reimburse the Owners. Even in the presence of a Household Contents Insurance, Renters are still solely responsible for any damages, loss or theft of the rented Gear by the effects of this Contract.
