In addition, a $1000 case administration fee will be imposed on the primary guest if Aqui Coqui and/or the host has to report a vehicle as stolen to law enforcement due to it not being returned.

Repossession. Aqui Coqui, a hired agent of Aqui Coqui, or the host may repossess any vehicle booked through the Services without demand, at the guest’s expense, if the vehicle is not returned by the end of the reservation, is found illegally parked, apparently abandoned, or used in violation of applicable law or these Terms.

Missing Vehicles.

Trip Cost

Trip price

This is a vehicle’s listed rate multiplied by the trip length. Hosts can set a standard rate for all calendar days or set different prices for different days. The Trip price you see always reflect the vehicle’s daily rate for your chosen travel dates. If your dates are not full days than you will be charged an hourly rate.

Trip Fee

The trip fee is a percentage of the trip price. It’s calculated at checkout by Turo and varies dynamically based on the expected cost of each trip. Several factors unique to each trip can influence the trip fee calculation. These include the vehicle’s value (a higher-value vehicle may incur a higher trip fee), lead time of booking (trips booked further in advance can lower the associated trip fee), trip duration (shorter trips contribute to a higher trip fee, while longer trips can help reduce the trip fee), and more.

Aqui Coqui Security

This is the cost of the protection plan you choose. Covers you from damages caused by you to and only to other vehicles, up to a limit of $4,500. The cost of towing your vehicle by tow truck to your residence or to a safe place will be reimbursed when said car cannot move by its own motor due to the traffic accident.

Young Driver Fee

We do not charge a Young Driver fee to US guests ages 18-25.

Delivery

This is the amount a host charges to pickup and drop off a vehicle. That single listed fee covers delivery at the start and end of a trip.

Extras

This is the cost to buy optional convenience or physical items some hosts offer. These include conveniences such as unlimited tolls and items such as bicycles, tents, and the like. Hosts set their own price for Extras.

Security deposit

This is the cost to book a trip and will vary depending on the value of the car. Neither Aqui Coqui nor hosts can waive or remove these deposits. Security Deposits are returned to the customer with 5-7 Business Days after the end of the trip.

Listing only on the Services

Any vehicle you list on the Services must be exclusively listed on the Services. You cannot list any vehicles you intend to share on the Services on any other car sharing marketplace.

Aqui Coqui photography

Aqui Coqui may offer hosts the option of having photographers take photographs of their vehicles and/or hosts with their vehicles (“Images”).

You acknowledge that Aqui Coqui may use the Images for advertising, marketing, commercial, and other business purposes in any media or platform, whether in relation to your listing or otherwise, without further notice or compensation. Further, you waive any and all rights to royalties or moral rights you may have in the Images. If you use the Aqui Coqui photography program, you agree that you will not use the Images in connection with sharing your vehicle on any platform, website, or application other than Aqui Coqui. At Aqui Coqui’s request, you will execute documents and take such further acts as Aqui Coqui may reasonably request to assist Aqui Coqui to acquire, perfect, and maintain its intellectual property rights and other legal protection in the Images.

Vehicle availability

Once a trip is booked, you must make the vehicle available or deliver the vehicle as expected by the guest. If you offer the guest the option to pick up your vehicle at a persistent specified location, you must supply the location of the vehicle accurately to Aqui Coqui and ensure that the vehicle is available at that location at the beginning of the reservation period. In order to qualify for available protection plans, you must verify that a prospective guest has a current, valid driver’s license before you provide the guest your vehicle, and ensure the driver’s license matches the name on the reservation and that the person picking up the vehicle appears to match the photograph on a facially valid driver’s license.

Pricing, earnings, and payments

You will have the ability to set and revise the vehicle’s pricing as you choose. Aqui Coqui will pay you the amount collected from guests that book your vehicle, less the applicable fees payable to Aqui Coqui. To the extent you owe Aqui Coqui money for any reason, Aqui Coqui also reserves the right to deduct those amounts from your payment.

Payment Processing. In some countries, payment processing services are provided by Paypal and Stripe and subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Paypal Services Agreement (collectively, the ” Paypal Terms”). In countries where you receive payment proceeds via Stripe, you agree to be bound by the Paypal and Stripe Terms, which may be modified from time to time. As a condition of Aqui Coqui enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you authorize Aqui Coqui to obtain all necessary access and perform all necessary activity on your Stripe Connected Account to facilitate sharing of your vehicle. You further agree to provide accurate and complete information about you, and authorize Aqui Coqui to share it and transaction information with Paypal for the purposes of facilitating the payment processing services provided by Paypal. Aqui Coqui reserves the right to switch payment processing vendors in its discretion.

Airport delivery; personal vehicle sharing regulations

Some airports where you offer delivery may take the position that you must have a permit to use airport premises and remit fees. While Aqui Coqui does not believe that rental car permits should apply to peer-to-peer car sharing, not all airport authorities agree with this position.

Maintenance

You are required to regularly check your vehicle for any defects in its operations or safety. You promise that, at all times, your vehicle will be in safe and roadworthy condition, in good mechanical condition, and in full compliance with all applicable inspection and registration requirements. You will only list vehicles with a clean, non-salvaged, non-written off, non-washed, and non-branded title. You agree to respond to any applicable recall or similar safety notices and to complete any recommended action before allowing your vehicle to be booked. In addition, if Aqui Coqui believes that your vehicle does not conform to reasonable standards, Aqui Coqui may notify you and reserves the right to remove or decline listing your vehicle until its concerns have been resolved. Aqui Coqui may, but does not commit to, undertake efforts to ensure the safety of vehicles booked through the Services. If you are a CI, we will notify you when your vehicle under goes a maintenance cycle, whether it be routine or emergency, and you are completely responsible for the cost of said maintenance.

Reporting vehicle damage

If you believe that a guest has caused any damage to your vehicle, you are required to report that damage as soon as you become aware of it (and in any event, no more than 24 hours after the scheduled end of the trip) and to provide reasonable cooperation in the investigation of the damage so that it can be eligible for coverage. Based on the investigation, Aqui Coqui or third-party claims administrators will reasonably determine whether the damage occurred during the reservation period and is eligible for coverage. If it was, you will be reimbursed for the loss as described in the sections below. If Aqui Coqui is not given prompt notice as described in this paragraph, or if you do not provide reasonable cooperation in the investigation by Aqui Coqui or third-party claims administrators, we may not be able to determine the cause. In that case, you agree that we may decline any reimbursement or coverage for such damage.

Physical damage to your vehicle

Physical damage reimbursement (US only). Physical damage contractual reimbursement from Aqui Coqui applies to your vehicle in the event of a collision and most comprehensive events during the trip, and is subject to terms and exclusions.

Actual cash value. If Aqui Coqui, or third-party claims administrators, choose to pay you the actual cash value for your vehicle, you will be required to transfer title to the vehicle to Aqui Coqui or a third party appointed by Aqui Coqui to accept title. The standard for determining the actual cash value will be as determined by Aqui Coqui or its third-party claims administrators and in compliance with applicable law.

Exclusions to physical damage reimbursement and coverage.

Optional extras or personal property, including aftermarket installations (e.g., equipment racks), that are taken from your vehicle or damaged during a trip. Remove all personal property before making your vehicle available for a reservation

Missing vehicles

If your vehicle goes missing, is not returned, and/or is stolen during the reservation period (or extension period), you, as the host, must immediately contact Aqui Coqui representative and follow his or her instructions, including cooperating with Aqui Coqui, the police, and any other authorities in all related to the investigation of the theft. If you are instructed by Aqui Coqui to file a police report, you must do so within 24 hours of receiving those instructions.

Indemnification of host

In the event of any claim for a loss or injury that occurs during the use of your vehicle by a guest (or by Aqui Coqui itself), subject to your compliance with these Terms and the Policies, Aqui Coqui or its insurers will defend and indemnify you, subject to any exclusions or limitations in the policy or policies of insurance contained with the protection plan, against such claims as required by applicable law. In connection with any indemnified claim, you are required to give Aqui Coqui or its insurers prompt written notice of the claim, allow Aqui Coqui sole control over the defense of the claim, and provide Aqui Coqui reasonable cooperation in its defense of the claim, at Aqui Coqui’s expense. If Aqui Coqui or its insurers reimburses you for a lost or damaged vehicle and you later receive payment for some or all of your vehicle from a third party (e.g. a third party insurance company or restitution), you must reimburse Aqui Coqui any monies received from that third party in an amount equivalent to, but not to exceed, the funds provided to you by Aqui Coqui.

Dispute resolution

Dispute resolution for hosts and guests residing in the United States

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION AND THEREFORE AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND GOVERNS HOW CLAIMS YOU AND AQUI COQUI HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.

Subject to applicable law, the Parties agree that any disputes or claims between us relating in any way to, or arising out of, this or previous versions of these Terms, your use of or access to the Services, or any breach, enforcement, or termination of the Agreement will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Dispute resolution for hosts and guests residing in the United States section.

Pre-arbitration dispute resolution. Should a dispute or claim arise between us, you and Aqui Coqui agree to notify the other Party of the nature of the dispute or claim prior to initiating arbitration, and the Parties will attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact us by email at host@aquicoquicarsharing.com. Please provide your name, phone number, email, mailing address, and briefly describe both the nature of your dispute and the relief you would like from Aqui Coqui. If the Parties are unable to resolve the claims described in the notice within 30 days after the notice is sent, then the Party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other Party via email prior to initiating the arbitration.

Applicable law. The below Agreement to Arbitrate evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and is therefore governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. To the extent state law is applicable to the Agreement to Arbitrate, the Parties agree that the substantive law of Puerto Rico will apply, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Agreement to Arbitrate. The Parties each agree that any and all disputes, claims, or controversies that have arisen or may arise at any time between you and Aqui Coqui (including its respective subsidiaries, employees, officers, directors, agents, third-party insurance brokers or products, and third-party claims administrators) will be resolved by binding arbitration according to the procedure set forth below. For the purpose of this Agreement to Arbitrate, “disputes,” “claims,” and “controversies” shall have the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced and includes, any and all disputes and/or claims that arise out of or in any way relate to your relationship with Aqui Coqui, including but not limited to: (1) your use of the Services, (2) the Agreement, these Terms and/or this Agreement to Arbitrate, including the interpretation, validity, enforceability, or scope of this Agreement to Arbitrate, or (3) your use of, or access to the Services, and anything sold, offered, or purchased through the Services (such as booking, listing, or sharing a vehicle). Through this Agreement to Arbitrate, and subject to the below exceptions, the Parties intend to arbitrate all disputes or claims regardless of whether they are based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory and regardless of whether they arose or accrued before the Parties entered into this Agreement to Arbitrate. For avoidance of doubt, the Parties expressly agree that this Agreement to Arbitrate encompasses all disputes or claims pertaining to the validity, enforceability, or scope of this Agreement to Arbitrate and any such disputes or claims will be referred to binding arbitration and will be resolved by the arbitrator and not a court.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate The only exceptions to this Agreement to Arbitrate are as follows:

Disputes or claims that can be brought in small claims court
Injunctive or equitable relief to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a Party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. However, the Parties agree that any court proceedings shall be stayed pending the final resolution in arbitration of any arbitrable claims or issues
Any cause of action or claim for relief which cannot be arbitrated as a matter of applicable statute or public policy. However, the Parties agree that any such court proceedings shall be stayed pending the final resolution in arbitration of any arbitrable claims or issues
In the event Puerto Rico law is found to apply to this Agreement to Arbitrate, any remedy of public injunctive relief (i.e., injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the general public). However, the Parties agree that any such court proceedings shall be stayed pending the final resolution in arbitration of arbitrable claims, causes of action, or issues

Arbitration procedures. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. An arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual.

In all cases in which a live hearing is requested or required, you and/or Aqui Coqui may attend by video or phone. To the extent a location must be established for the arbitration, it shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location.

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different users but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Aqui Coqui user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Where permitted, the Parties agree that all communications, evidence, and rulings in the arbitration will remain confidential, except as reasonably necessary to enforce or implement such rulings or this Agreement to Arbitrate.

Costs of arbitration. If you initiate arbitration proceedings, you will be responsible for certain costs. Where the relief sought is $25,000 or less (not including attorneys’ fees and expenses), you will be responsible for the initial filing fee, capped at $375, and Aqui Coqui will cover any additional fees or costs. Where the relief sought is $25,001 or more (not including attorneys’ fees and expenses), you and Aqui Coqui will each pay your own arbitration fees.

Severability. With the exception of the provisions in the below section “Prohibition of class and representative actions and non-individualized relief,” if an arbitrator or court decides that any part of the Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of the Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If an arbitrator or court decides that any of the provisions in the section “Prohibition of class and representative actions and non-individualized relief” is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of the Agreement to Arbitrate shall be null and void. The remainder of the Agreement, these Terms, and dispute resolution section will continue to apply.

Right to opt-out of arbitration; procedure. IF YOU ARE A NEW AQUI COQUI USER, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO OPT-OUT OF THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE BY EMAILING US AN OPT-OUT NOTICE TO AQUICOQUICARRENTAL@GMAIL.COM(“OPT-OUT NOTICE”). THE OPT-OUT NOTICE MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS FOR THE FIRST TIME OR THE COMMENCEMENT OF YOUR FIRST TRIP ON AQUI COQUI AS A GUEST OR HOST, WHICHEVER DATE IS EARLIEST. In order to opt-out, you must email your full name, address (including street address, city, state, and zip/postal code), and email address(es) associated with your Aqui Coqui Account to aquicoquicarrental@gmail.com. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate. If you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, all other provisions of the Agreement will continue to apply to you.

Future amendments to the Agreement to Arbitrate. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, the Parties agree that if Aqui Coqui makes any amendment to the Agreement to Arbitrate in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that you filed against Aqui Coqui prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by the Agreement to Arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between the Parties. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you may close your account within 30 days of our posting or notification and you will not be bound by the amended terms; provided that the Parties will arbitrate any dispute in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement to Arbitrate as of the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms). Once you have submitted a valid Opt-Out Notice to Aqui Coqui, you do NOT need to submit another one when these Terms are subsequently updated. Your first Opt-Out Notice will serve as a valid as to future versions of these Terms.

Judicial forum for legal disputes not subject to arbitration. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, in the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, whether (1) as a result of your decision to opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, (2) as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, or (3) if one of the above exceptions to the Agreement to Arbitrate applies, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between the Parties will be resolved exclusively by a state, federal, or small claims court located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Parties agree that the substantive law of Puerto Rico will apply to any such claim or dispute without regard to conflict of law provisions.

Prohibition of class and representative actions and non-individualized relief. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, WHETHER IN COURT OR ARBITRATION. UNLESS THE PARTIES AGREE OTHERWISE, THE COURT OR ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE COURT OR ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS, SUBJECT TO THE ABOVE EXCEPTION ALLOWING PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF TO BE SOUGHT IN COURT BUT ONLY IF THAT EXCEPTION IS FOUND TO APPLY.
