WetRentals means 12265621 Canada Inc. dba WetRentals (herein referred to as "WetRentals," "us," "we," or "our"). If you are using the Services on behalf of a corporation or other legal entity, "you" means the entity, and the user is warranting that he or she has the rights to bind the entity. By using the Services, you are agreeing to and are subject to the following terms and conditions, as well as our Privacy Policy, herein incorporated by reference (collectively, the "Terms"). If you do not agree to all of the Terms you are not authorized to use WetRentals Services.

WETRENTALS IS A VENUE AND IS NOT A PARTY TO ANY RENTAL AGREEMENT OR OTHER TRANSACTION BETWEEN USERS OF THE SERVICES.

WetRentals is Only a Venue. WetRentals acts as a venue for users of the Services as renters ("Renters") and boat owners ("Hosts") (Hosts and Renters, each a "User" and together, "Users") to view and post available boats to facilitate the rental of such boats. WetRentals is not a party to any actual agreement or transaction between Renters and Hosts even though we may from time to time provide tools that relate to a booking, such as a tool to enable a Renter to enter into a transaction to rent a specific boat directly from a Host and payment services to facilitate the booking. As a result, WetRentals has no control over the accuracy or correctness of the content or information provided or used by such Renters and Hosts. Any part of an actual or potential transaction between a Renter and a Host, including the condition, quality, safety or legality of the boats advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings (including the content thereof or any review related thereto), the ability of Hosts to rent a boat to a Renter, or the ability of Renters to pay for or operate boat rentals are solely the responsibility of each User. Host acknowledges and agrees that Host is solely responsible for the compliance and safety of the Renter(s) who rent Host's boat(s).

You acknowledge and agree to take all reasonable precautions in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of any User-generated content. We are also not responsible for the condition of any boats listed on the Services or the compliance with laws, rules or regulations that may be applicable to boat operation, maintenance, rental or charter in any jurisdiction. As between WetRentals and Hosts, Host acknowledges and agrees that Host is solely responsible for ensuring compliance with laws, rules or regulations that may be applicable to boat operation, maintenance, rental or charter in the jurisdiction in which Host operates or is otherwise located. Renters should satisfy themselves that any boat rented complies with any legal or safety requirements for such rental, and Renters and Hosts have exclusive responsibility for such compliance. Without limiting the foregoing, Hosts and Renters are solely responsible for their own compliance with any legal and/or safety requirements in place in your applicable jurisdiction in light of applicable health and/or travel advisories. Hosts are responsible for determining if renting a boat is permissible and, if so, for providing their boat in sanitary condition for Renters and with appropriate sanitation supplies for Renters to clean the boat after use. Renters are responsible for returning any rented boat in sanitary condition using the sanitation supplies provided by the Host.

Separate Agreements. Users acknowledge and agree that you will be required to enter into a separate agreement and/or waiver, directly between the Renter and Host, prior to making a booking or purchasing a product or service and such agreement and/or waiver may place additional restrictions on your booking, product, or service. Any separate agreements and/or waivers relating to the rental of a boat or related products or services are under the sole control of any Host or provider and Renter.

Release and Indemnity. IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE BETWEEN A RENTER AND A HOST, HOST AND RENTER, JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY, HEREBY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, RELEASE, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS WETRENTALS AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS AND EMPLOYEES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “WETRENTALS PARTIES”) FROM ANY CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION, DEMANDS, RECOVERIES, LOSSES, DAMAGES (ACTUAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL), FINES, PENALTIES AND OTHER COSTS OR EXPENSES, OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO REASONABLE LEGAL AND ACCOUNTING FEES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “CLAIMS”), KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DISPUTES ARISING OVER BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, BREACH OF ANY SEPARATE AGREEMENT OR TRANSACTION, AND/OR THE SUBSTITUTION OF RENTAL UNITS. FURTHER, HOST AND RENTER EACH HEREBY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, RELEASE, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS THE WETRENTALS PARTIES FROM ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT AS A RESULT OF HOST AND/OR RENTER'S (1) BREACH OF THE TERMS, (2) VIOLATION OF ANY LAW OR THE RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY, AND (3) USE OF THE SERVICES.

Insurance. WetRentals is not a party to any contract for insurance facilitated through any link to a third party insurance provider advertising on the Services, and is not acting on behalf of any insurer, any broker or agent, any insured or any claimant in any contract for insurance facilitated through such link. Insurance coverage may be provided through a third-party independent insurance producer not affiliated with WetRentals. WetRentals does not act as a broker, agent or consultant in the sale of insurance, is not endorsing or recommending any particular insurer or terms of coverage, and is merely providing a link for you, if you wish, to transact a contract for insurance with a third-party provider. Any contract for insurance is solely between you, as the insured, and such insurer as you and the third-party insurance provider agree shall act as the insurer. WetRentals has no control over and makes no representations regarding the coverage of any insurance you may purchase from a third-party insurance provider. You acknowledge and agree that WetRentals assumes no responsibility or liability for any claims or disputes arising from, or related to, a contract for insurance facilitated through such link. You also acknowledge and agree that WetRentals shall not be included as a party to any such claims or disputes.

2.0 Your Use of Services

Conditions of Use. As a condition of your use of the Services, you expressly represent and warrant that (i) if you will be operating a boat, you are responsible for ensuring that you are sufficiency skilled in the operation of the boat and legally authorized to operate a boat in the state or province in which you are renting and you will not allow any other occupants of the boat to operate the boat unless they are each of sufficient skill and legally authorized to operate a boat in the state or province in which you are renting; (ii) you possess the legal authority to create a binding legal obligation; (iii) you will use the Services in accordance with the Terms; (iv) you will only use the Services to post or view, as applicable, available boat rentals or transact legitimate boat rentals for you or for another person for whom you are legally authorized to act with other Users; (v) you will inform such other persons about the terms and conditions that apply to the boat rental you have made on their behalf, including all laws, regulations, rules and restrictions applicable thereto; (vi) if you are booking a rental on behalf of another person, you are individually responsible for ensuring that such other person is a party to the separate agreement for the rental of the boat; (vii) all information supplied by you to WetRentals is true, accurate, current and complete, (viii) if you have a WetRentals account, you will safeguard your account information, (ix) you are and will remain in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations related to boat operation, maintenance, rental or charter, and (x) if you are listing a boat for rental, you are either (a) the owner of the boat, or (b) a representative authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the boat. You may not authorize others to use your user account, and you may not assign or otherwise transfer your user account to any other person or entity. If you reside in a jurisdiction that restricts the use of the Services because of age or restricts the ability to enter into agreements such as this one due to age, you must abide by such age limits and you must not use the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, the Services are not available to children (persons under the age of 18). By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. WetRentals retains the right at its sole discretion to deny access to the Services to anyone at any time and for any reason, including, but not limited to, for violation of the Terms.

2.1 Sharing Contact Information

Sharing contact information such as email address, phone number, website address, company name, social media accounts or profiles, pickup locations, contact information to other Hosts, or any other form to connect directly with users outside of WetRentals is strictly prohibited. WetRentals has the sole discretion to monitor and block all content that it deems to be used to circumvent WetRentals or violates any other terms of use. Failing to abide by the terms will result in an account suspension and removal from the platform. You agree that you will not try to circumvent WetRentals by any means which includes but is not limited to conversations posted to the WetRentals messaging platform, boat listings, public and private reviews, and images uploaded.

You agree that you will only use the Services for lawful purposes.

2.2 Password Sharing

Please keep in mind that we will treat anyone who uses your user name and password as "you." We will provide this user with all of the rights and privileges that we provide to you, and we will hold you responsible for the activities of the person using your password. Therefore, we recommend that you maintain your user name and password in confidence and that you refrain from disclosing this information to anyone who might "pretend" to be you with respect to the Services. We also ask that you notify us immediately if you suspect that someone is using your user name and/or password or otherwise obtaining access to the Services in this or any other inappropriate manner.

2.3 Payment Services

While WetRentals is not a party to any agreement between you and any Host, Renter acknowledges and agrees that WetRentals may act as the Host's payment agent for the purposes of collecting payment for bookings made through the Services. Renter's provision of financial information to us for purposes of payment is governed by our Privacy Policy.

2.4 Establishing Payment Account

As a Renter, you are responsible for opening an account, providing payment authorizations for bookings and paying for Services according to these Terms, as well as others which may be included at the time of booking. You agree to provide all requested information, including a credit card to be used for pre-authorization/reserve and payment/capture for Services. Payment for a booking will be made by WetRentals directly to the Host who posted the listing.

2.5 Credit Card Information

By providing your credit card information to us, you agree that we are authorized to charge your card with the total cost of the rental, taxes and any required deposits or damages, as described below. We will run a pre-authorization for the full amount of the booking on the credit card the Renter supplies at the time of booking. You agree that we can charge a nominal amount to your credit card to verify the validity of the credit card information you provide. If the Host accepts the booking, the Renter's credit card will be charged in full for the amount previously described, although if the Host advises us of a change in delivery location following the booking and that change results in an increase in any applicable taxes we are required to charge and collect or if there is an increase in the amount to taxes imposed at the time of booking versus the date of delivery, you expressly authorize us to charge such credit card for the excess and if that card is not honoured at the time WetRentals will collect such amount from the Host and the Host will collect such amount from you before delivery of the rental to you and your failure to pay the Host for such amount may result in denial of access to the rental and forfeiture of your deposit. You expressly authorize WetRentals service provider, Stripe, to originate credit transfers to your financial institution account. WetRentals may also use a service provider to store your credit card information to facilitate payments as described herein and you expressly authorize such storage. WetRentals shall ensure that any service provider it uses to process or store your credit card information is bound by obligations to protect such information commensurate with our Privacy Policy.

2.6 Deposits

Renters are responsible for leaving the rented boat in the same condition it was in before you rented it. Renters acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for all acts and omissions of you and your guests on the boat that affect the condition of the boat. In the event a Host claims and provides evidence of damage to the boat, you agree that WetRentals shall be entitled to charge a deposit to your credit card to cover the cost of the damage, as established after reasonable investigation. This deposit may exceed the deposit set forth in the listing. We will notify you of any damage claim made by a Host related to your rental and you will have an opportunity to respond, as set forth in such notice. We will only charge a deposit to Renter's credit card after the rental is complete if the Host has made a claim and the deposit amount has been deemed appropriate after investigation of the claim. Damages will include credit card fees and any loss of use reimbursement to the host should rentals be cancelled due to damage caused by the renter.

2.7 Service Charge

We charge a service fee of 10% of the total rental to renters and 10% of the total to hosts (i.e., the booking and any additional expenses such as taxes we are required to collect) for facilitating the rental and this amount will be reflected in the final amount charged to Renter's credit card. We reserve the right to round up amounts to the nearest whole dollar (for example, $202.60 will be rounded to $203). We will process any necessary currency conversion (WetRentals charges in Canadian dollars, Australian dollars or US dollars unless otherwise specified) based upon Renter's currency on the day the credit card is charged and we will charge a conversion fee of 3% of the total rental for currency conversions. We reserve the right to adjust the conversion rate based on when the payout is made to the Host. The service fee and any conversion fee constitute "Transaction Fees." WetRentals reserves the right to adjust its Transaction Fees at any time. Any Fee changes will be effective the next time you book a rental after such fee change goes into effect (i.e., rentals already booked will be subject to Fees as established at the time of booking).

2.8 Payments to Hosts

Payment to Hosts for accepted bookings will be made net 30 days from the date of the completed reservation. Notwithstanding, in limited circumstances, on a case-by-case basis, in its sole discretion, WetRentals may elect to pay a Host a portion of the accepted booking after the reservation is made and the remaining portion of the accepted booking net 30 days from the date of the completed (fully paid) reservation. If, after Host has been paid any portion of the accepted booking by WetRentals, an accepted booking is cancelled or terminated for any reason by either Host or Renter before the reservation is completed, Hosts shall return to WetRentals all sums advanced by WetRentals for such reservation immediately (within five (5) days) upon receiving written demand for same. Host further agrees that WetRentals is not liable for any damages Host may incur as a result of such cancellation and/or having to return such funds. If Host fails to timely refund said sums, WetRentals shall also be entitled to interest on said sums at the rate of 18% per annum, or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is lower, and all of WetRentals attorneys' fees and costs of court.

2.9 Unresponsive Hosts

If a Host does not respond to a booking inquiry, WetRentals reserves the right to transfer the booking and associated payment to another Host on Renter's behalf. WetRentals reserves the right to hold payment to Hosts if WetRentals suspects there has been fraud or other suspicious activity in connection with the rental or payment. Unacceptable payment methods that may be posted on the Services may result in the immediate removal of the non-conforming listing from the Services without notice to the Host and without refund. Unacceptable payment methods are those methods that may pose a risk of fraud, identify theft, or breach of privacy.

2.10 Substitution of Rental Units

Renter understands and acknowledges that boats/other watercraft reserved may, from time to time, be subsequently damaged or otherwise become in need of repair before the reservation is commenced. If a Host is unable to provide the reserved unit to the Renter due to it being unavailable, the Host may provide the Renter with a substitute unit that is similar in age, size, model, and value as the reserved boat/other watercraft. The Host shall provide the Renter with notice of the need for a substitution of unit(s) as soon as reasonably possible, as well as provide the Renter with pictures and a description of the substitute unit upon request. If the Host is unable to provide the Renter with a similar substitute unit (as described herein), the Renter may elect to cancel the reservation any time before it is commenced and, as its sole remedy, obtain a refund in accordance with the Refund Policy as if the Host had cancelled the reservation. The Renter shall not be entitled to any refund, and shall be obligated to pay all sums owed, if the Host offers Renter a similar unit (as described herein) and the Renter nevertheless refuses to complete and/or terminates the reservation. If there is a dispute between the Renter and the Host as to whether the substitute unit offered by the Host is sufficiently similar to the unit reserved by the Renter, WetRentals shall make the final determination, in its sole discretion, and the Renter and the Host agree to abide by WetRentals determination.

ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT EXCHANGE OF MONEY BETWEEN RENTERS AND Hosts OTHER THAN PAYMENT THROUGH WETRENTALS IS A VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS.

2.11 Taxes

The rental/booking fee and any additional expenses may be subject to applicable local, federal, state and/or provincial taxes. Commencing with bookings made on and after date set forth after "Effective" set forth on the first page above, WetRentals will in some locations, as WetRentals phases in its tax collection and reporting system, charge and collect from the Renter all applicable taxes WetRentals is required to collect and which are imposed by a governmental authority on the rental amount and other charges that are included in the base on which such taxes are imposed and that payable by the Renter through the Services. In some jurisdictions, WetRentals may not begin collecting on the Effective date shown above or in others may not be required to collect taxes, and as provided below it is the Host's responsibility to collect and remit any such taxes imposed on the rental amount that WetRentals does not charge and collect. To the extent charged and collected from the Renter by WetRentals , the Host should not charge and collect the same amount of such taxes from the Renter. WetRentals will make the determination of the applicable amount to be charged based on the zip or postal code of the Host on file with WetRentals unless and until the Host advises WetRentals in writing of a change in the location of where the boat will be delivered to a Renter. If the change in location results in an increase in the amount of applicable taxes that should have been charged to and collected from the Renter, the Renter's credit card will be charged for such excess.

2.12 Collecting Taxes

Except to the extent provided herein or in the Host Interface Agreement, the Host accepting the booking is solely responsible for the collection, reporting, and payment of applicable taxes where those taxes are not being collected and remitted by WetRentals. WetRentals will charge applicable taxes to Renter's credit card at the time of booking and later in the event circumstances require a change. To the extent not charged and collected by WetRentals, Hosts are responsible for determining applicable taxes and should consult with your own legal/tax adviser about any tax questions in this regard. For Hosts based in the European Union, it is your responsibility to include VAT in the price of the booking and you will be responsible for reporting VAT.

2.13 Cancellation and Refund Policy

If a Host cancels an accepted rental before the rental is commenced, the Renter shall be refunded all sums paid to WetRentals for the rental, other than the Transaction Fee and any taxes WetRentals remitted to a taxing authority prior to the cancellation.

If the Renter cancels an accepted rental before the rental is commenced, WetRentals shall return to the Renter a “Cancellation Refund,” as specified below. The Transaction Fee and any applicable taxes collected by WetRentals and remitted to the taxing authority or authorities before the cancellation will not automatically be refunded to the Renter. The amount of the Cancellation Refund is determined by the Host's cancellation policy set forth in the Renter's separate rental agreement with the Host, which shall be one of the following three policies, as chosen by the Host:

Flexible

100% of the rental price if cancelled more than 24 hours prior to commencement of the rental; and
50% of the rental price if cancelled within 24 hours of commencement of the rental.

Moderate

100% of the rental price if cancelled more than 7 days prior to commencement of the rental;
75% of the rental price if cancelled less than 7 days but more than 48 hours prior to commencement of the rental; and
50% of the rental price if cancelled less than 48 hours but more 24 hours prior to commencement of the rental.

Strict

75% of the rental price if cancelled more than 7 days prior to commencement of the rental;
50% of the rental price if cancelled less than 7 days but more than 48 hours prior to commencement of the rental; and
25% of the rental price if cancelled less than 48 hours but more 24 hours prior to commencement of the rental.

2.14 WetRentals Fees

If for any reason, the Renter's separate rental agreement with the Host (a) does not contain a cancellation policy or (b) the cancellation policy therein differs from the foregoing cancellation policy options, then the amount of the Cancellation Refund will be determined in accordance with the “Strict” cancellation policy set-forth above. Renters are further subject to any additional cancellation terms set forth in the terms of each listing. To the extent the cancellation terms of a particular listing conflicts with the cancellation terms set forth herein, the cancellation terms set forth herein control.

If WetRentals issues a Cancellation Refund to the Renter that is less than 100% of the rental price, Hosts will be credited with the non-refunded portion of such rental price on the Host's next rental that is successfully completed through WetRentals.

Owner Cancellation

Transaction Fees will never be refunded. WetRentals will charge a fee for any reservation that is canceled after both parties have agreed on a booking. The following is a breakdown of cancellation fees based on the total price of the rental:

Under $100: Fee is $5 - Over $100 but below $250: Fee is $20 - Over $250: Fee is $50

The Host will be debited the cancellation fees on the next rental that is successfully completed through WetRentals or directly from the Hosts bank account. Renters are subject to the cancellation terms set forth in the terms of each listing. Additionally, if a Host cancels a rental for any reason other than weather or another circumstance affecting the safety of the Renter, such Host (rather than the Renter) will be charged the Transaction Fee for the rental, as set forth above.

2.15 Chargeback Policy

If Renter disagrees with any charges before any dispute is lodged with Renter's credit card company, Renter shall provide WetRentals with a detailed written explanation of such disputed sum within fourteen (14) days of the charge, and the parties shall engage in a discussion related to same. FAILURE TO PROVIDE TIMELY NOTICE OF SAID DISPUTE VOIDS ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE. At WetRentals' request, Renter shall provide any additional written explanation or details and/or supporting documentation, in the format desired by WetRentals. RENTER SHALL NOT DISPUTE VALID CHARGES ASSESSED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS OF USE.

2.16 Payment Risk

The Host understands and acknowledges that WetRentals acts merely as a conduit for reservations and payments between Renters and Hosts, and the Host assumes all rental payment risk. IF A RENTER OBTAINS A CREDIT CARD CHARGEBACK AGAINST WETRENTALS, FOR ANY REASON, AND WETRENTALS HAS ALREADY PAID ALL OR A PORTION OF SUCH AMOUNT TO THE HOST, THEN THE HOST SHALL IMMEDIATELY (WITHIN FIVE (5) DAYS UPON RECEIVING WRITTEN DEMAND FOR THE SAME) RETURN TO WETRENTALS ALL SUCH AMOUNTS.

2.17 Use of Services

The content and information on WetRentals Services (including, but not limited to, price and availability of boats listed in any inventory database), as well as the infrastructure used to provide such content and information, is proprietary to WetRentals, its licensors, its suppliers and providers. While you may make limited copies of your booking documents (and related documents) for boat rentals booked through the Services, you agree not to and you have no right to otherwise modify, copy, distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell or re-sell any information, software, content, products, or services obtained from or through the Services. Additionally, you agree not to:

"frame", "mirror" or otherwise incorporate any part of the Services into any other website or service without our prior written authorization.

3.0 AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES

IMPORTANT: PLEASE REVIEW THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SET FORTH BELOW CAREFULLY, AS IT WILL REQUIRE YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH WETRENTALS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. BY ENTERING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS IMPORTANT DECISION.

By agreeing to the Terms, you agree that you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against WetRentals on an individual basis in arbitration, as set forth below. This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against WetRentals, and also preclude you from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against WetRentals by someone else.

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing support@WetRentals.com and saying “I opt out of arbitration” in the email within 14 days of first registering your account.

3.1 Disputes

You and WetRentals agree that any dispute, claim or controversy ("Claim") arising out of or relating to this agreement between you and WetRentals, including (without limitation) Claims based on contract, tort (including intentional torts), fraud, agency, negligence, statutory or regulatory provisions or any other source of law and (except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement) Claims relating to the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity of this agreement (including the validity of this arbitration clause), shall be settled by binding arbitration administered in the USA by the American Arbitration Association, www.adr.org, 1-800-778-7879 (the “Administrator”), in Canada by ADR Ottawa, www.adrottawa.com, (613) 565.6215 (the “Administrator”), in Australia by The Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration, www.acica.org.au, +61 (0) 2 9223 1099 (the “Administrator”), and not in a court of law (excluding solely non-monetary injunctive or equitable relief as provided below). The Administrator provides information about arbitration, its arbitration rules and procedures, fee schedule and claims forms on its website or by mail as set forth above. The Administrator will apply the rules and procedures in effect and applicable to the claim at the time the arbitration is filed. The Claim will be heard before a single arbitrator. The arbitration will not be consolidated with any other arbitration proceedings. The arbitrator shall not have any authority to entertain a claim or to award any relief, on behalf of or against anyone other than a named party to the arbitration proceeding. The Administrator shall resolve each dispute in accordance with applicable law. You further agree that judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

You consent to electronic service of process, with service to be made to the email address we have on record for your account.

3.2 Waiving Rights

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND WETRENTALS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS HOST IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WETRENTALS OTHERWISE AGREE IN WRITING, ANY ARBITRATION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Notwithstanding mandatory arbitration, as provided above, you and WetRentals each retain the right to seek solely non-monetary injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.

You agree that any and all communications and evidence related to any dispute ultimately resolved by arbitration or mediation with the Administrator arising out of or relating to this agreement shall be held and will remain confidential and that you will not take any action that will harm the reputation of any of the other parties to the arbitration or mediation or WetRentals or which would reasonably be expected to lead to unwanted or unfavourable publicity to and of the parties, WetRentals or other entities involved in or incidental to the arbitration or mediation. You understand that those parties and entities include but are not limited to the claimant, respondent, witnesses, and WetRentals.

4.0 Identity Verification

User verification on the Internet is difficult and we cannot, and do not, assume any responsibility for the confirmation of each Renter or Host's purported identity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that you will provide us or the Host with whom you book a rental with whatever proof of identity we may reasonably request.

You agree to (i) keep your password and online ID for both your WetRentals account and your email account secure and strictly confidential, (ii) notify us immediately and select a new online ID and password if you believe your password for either your WetRentals account or your email account may have become known to an unauthorized person, and (iii) notify us immediately if you are contacted by anyone requesting your online ID and password. We discourage you from giving anyone access to your online ID and password for your WetRentals account and your email account. However, if you do give someone your online ID and online password, or if you fail to adequately safeguard such information, you are responsible for any and all transactions that the person performs while using your WetRentals account or your email account, even those transactions that are fraudulent or that you did not intend or want performed.
