Thus, You agree and acknowledge that You are solely responsible for any direct, indirect, and consequential damages arising from any real damages on the Goods or Loss to the Owner of the Goods. If You have returned the Goods with damages beyond wear and tear, or if you have not returned the Goods to the Owner, then You acknowledge and agree that the Owner is authorized by You to retrieve reasonable costs to repair the damages or the reasonable cost to replace the rented Goods by charging Your credit card, debit card, or other payment method on the Account amounts arising from such damages or loss by You, or attempt to collect the debt using alternative methods. Currently, the Owner may use the RoundAbout Platform’s connection to Stripe’s payment processing to charge a Renter 20% of the Residual Value to repair damages, or 100% of the Residual Value to replace the Goods that have been lost or stolen. By accepting the Terms and agreeing to the Rental Agreement between You and the Owner you accept the Replacement Value stated in the Rental Agreement as your liability with respect to damage or loss. Particularly, RoundAbout is not responsible for administering or accepting any damage claims by Owners or mediating any disputes of any kind between Owners and Renters, including that related to security deposits, functionality or fit-for-use of the Goods, or damages or loss of Goods, and disclaims any and all liability in this regard. Any charges to Renters initiated by Owners are required to be approved by Renters, except for cases of theft, where Renter’s preapproval of these Terms allows the Owner to process loss charges to the Renter’s payment method provided.
If RoundAbout receives a cardholder dispute or chargeback for any charges that were authorized by the Renter using the RoundAbout Platform, the Renter agrees to immediately remit payment to RoundAbout for the disputed charge amount and a $35.00 fee for each disputed charge. RoundAbout will respond to any disputes with any information that indicates that the charge was authorized by the Renter.

If you wish not to use the Rental Agreement Template, you may provide your own Rental Agreement for the Owner to approve outside of the RoundAbout Platform, so long as it adheres to all Terms and Policies set forth by RoundAbout.
By using the Platform or Services, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Users or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Users or other third parties who caused you harm, such as but not limited to cases of false claims made by Owners about their Items, cancellation of rental reservations by Owners, or harm you experience as a result of use of a rented Item.

By accepting the Terms and agreeing to the Rental Agreement between You and the Renter you accept the Replacement Value stated in the Rental Agreement as the value of your Item with respect to damage or loss claims. The Renter must approve these transactions before the RoundAbout Platform will process the charges.

RoundAbout provides a Rental Agreement Template for your use in your rental transaction between you as the Owner and the Renter.

Rental Fees
The Rental Price of each Item listed on the RoundAbout Platform is expressed in US Dollars and is expressed as a cost per Rental Period. The Rental Price is controlled by the Owner. The Owner may modify the Rental Price at any time except when the Item is currently rented, in which case the Rental Price is fixed as the price stated in the Rental Agreement. The price includes any taxes and maintenance costs, excluding possible delivery fees, damage or loss claims, cleaning fees, extra insurance costs, or other fees charged to the Renter and agreed upon by the Renter through the updated Rental Agreement. In order for fees to be charged against the Renter beyond the Rental Price multiplied by the Rental Period, the Renter must agree to such additional charges by accepting them as displayed on the updated Rental Agreement through the Platform, except in the case of late returns or loss or theft, in which case charges may be levied to the Renter pursuant to the Rental Agreement.
The total Rental Fee calculated at the time of a reservation request must be greater than three dollars ($3 USD) due to Stripe payment processing fees. The Renter may have to increase his or her rental period in order to meet this requirement.Additional Fees at the Close of a Rental
Upon return of the Rented Goods to their Owner and completion of the Rental Transaction, the Owner, at his or her sole discretion, may assess additional costs including late fees, manual adjustments, or damage assessments. Owners must provide the Renters with adequate written information regarding any manual adjustments or additional fees that might be assessed at the end of the rental, such as but not limited to cleaning, set up, inconvenience, delivery, consumables, etc. in advance of the Rental Agreement being approved by both Parties, or the Owner forfeits his or her claims to charge those amounts.
You may assess damage costs for damages to your Item, which will automatically charge 20% of the Replacement Value to the Renter in order to pay to repair said damage. If the damages incurred amount to a total loss of the Item, you may use the Manual Adjustment field to assess a charge for the Replacement Value of the Item. If your property which you’ve rented out is never returned to you, after more than three (3) days of being late, you may report a problem, which will prompt the RoundAbout Platform to allow you to assess charges for the loss or theft of the Item. RoundAbout reserves the right to require that the Owner provide to RoundAbout proof of ownership, proof of value, and a policy report filed against the stolen rented Item, at anytime after such a claim of theft has been made. If the Owner does not furnish such the requested information to RoundAbout within ten business days (10) of the request, the Owner forfeits his or her right to claim a liability of loss and/or theft against the Renter.
Security Deposit
At the start of the Rental Period, on behalf of the Owner, RoundAbout charges the Renter’s payment method a refundable security deposit (authorization or pending charge) in the amount calculated as twenty percent (20%) of the Item’s Residual Value. This security deposit will be refunded when the Owner acknowledges receipt of the Item back into his or her possession, makes this acknowledgement through the Platform by returning the Item to his or her Library of Goods. In the case of additional charges related to additional days of rental, other charges agreed upon by both the Renter and Owner (for instance, cleaning fees), damage, or loss, the Security Deposit will be used to offset those charges and may not be refunded in whole in those cases. The Renter agrees that the Owner may deduct any amount the Renter owes from the Security Deposit provided. The amount of such deposit is not a limit of the Renter’s liability or responsibility for the Items or Goods. The Renter will not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit.Payment Processing
RoundAbout relies on Stripe, Inc., a third party, for all credit card processing and transactions. RoundAbout does not access your bank account or make charges directly to your credit card. RoundAbout collects your information and relays it to Stripe, Inc. for processing. RoundAbout does not store any financial private information including your bank account number or credit card number.
See Stripe, Inc.’s website (www.stripe.com) for details. Stripe, Inc. accepts credit and debit cards backed by Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.
As a Renter, once you request to reserve an Item, RoundAbout will prompt you to submit your credit card information. No charges will be incurred at this time, while your Reservation Request is pending. Once the Owner approves the Reservation Request, RoundAbout will communicate with Stripe, Inc. to charge your credit card an authorization or pending charge in the amount reflective of the Item’s Rental Price multiplied by the Rental Period, or Rental Fee. This Rental Fee authorization will remain on your credit card until the Rental Period starts. Once the Rental Agreement is agreed to by both the Renter and the Owner through the Platform at the start of the Rental Period, the Rental Fee authorization will become a fully executed charge to the Renter’s Credit Card. Also at this time, the Renter’s credit card will be charged the Security Deposit, as described above.
As an Owner, you will need a Stripe, Inc. account, which will process Rental Fee revenue directly into your bank account. Owners must agree to Stripe’s Terms of Use and all other applicable terms and policies. See Stripe (www.stripe.com) for details. Owners will receive Rental Fee revenue, less RoundAbout commission fees, once the Rental Agreement is agreed to by both the Renter and the Owner through the Platform. Once the Item is returned at the end of the Rental Period, the RoundAbout Platform provides Owners with an opportunity to make positive or negative adjustments to the Rental Fees, which must be approved or rejected by the Renter before charges take place. Owners are expressly prohibited from charging Renters with additional fees that they are not responsible for, including normal wear and tear on a rented Item.Cancellations
A Renter may cancel a reservation at any time under the following conditions: (1) if a cancellation is made with 24 hours notice or more to the Owner, the Renter will receive a full reversal or cancellation of the current Rental Fee authorization on the credit card; (2) if a cancellation is made with less than 24 hours notice, the Rental Fee authorization will be completed as a charge but with a reduced amount equal to 20% of the authorized Rental Fee, which from time to time be referred to as an Inconvenience Fee or No-Show fee. No-Show fees may also be levied by the Owner if a Renter does not show up for an approved rental reservation appointment at the requested start date and the reservation lapses at least one day or if the parties meet to make the exchange of the rental item and the renter wishes not to approve the rental charges in the Rental Agreement, charges which were displayed in the reservation request for approved by the Renter. Such No-Show fees are credited to the item’s Owner less RoundAbout’s Commission Fee, and charges of such are at the discretion of the Owner.
Due to Stripe payment processing requirements and fees, cancellation No-Show fees will not be processed when such amount is $3 or less. Such No-Show fees will be voided, with neither a debit to the Renter’s account nor a credit to the Owner’s account.RoundAbout Commission Fees
Access, registration and use of the Platform are free. Searching for Goods and Posting Goods publicly through the Platform are free.
With the exception of promotional offers that are explicitly outlined on the Platform and except when rental fees total less than $2, RoundAbout’s commission fee is 15% for providing rental transaction and inventory management Services and for providing and maintaining the Platform and is charged to the Owner as a commission once a Rental Agreement is confirmed between a Renter and an Owner. A Rental Agreement is confirmed by the Renter and the Owner when both parties accept its terms through the Platform. RoundAbout’s commission fee is calculated as 15% of the rental fee total (calculated as the Owner’s stipulated Rental Price of the Item multiplied by the Rental Period) plus any additional fees, damage assessments, and loss claims made by the Owner. RoundAbout deducts the commission fee from the Rental Fee and additional fees before remitting the balance to the Owner. RoundAbout’s commission fee is inclusive of taxes applicable to RoundAbout and Stripe’s processing fee of 2.9% + 0.30 per transaction.
RoundAbout can modify its policies on Posts and commission fees, and can also modify the fees set for these Services. Temporary or permanent modifications are effective as soon as they are published on the Platform and are applicable to all subsequent transactions. In the case of temporary modifications, the duration of the changes will be clearly indicated on the Platform.
Rented Equipment Physical Damage/Loss Waiver (PDLW)
General
RoundAbout is not an insurance provider, broker, or agent. RoundAbout is not licensed in any state or country to be an insurance provider, broker, or agent. RoundAbout’s Rental Equipment Physical Damage/Loss Waiver (PDLW) is not an insurance policy.
The following provisions are subject to the Member or User’s compliance with all other terms and obligations under these Terms of Use, the Guidelines, and Privacy Policy. Failure to comply with any Terms and obligations may result in a Renter’s or Owner’s full responsibility for damage and loss of Goods, and the agreement to pay for the repair or replacement of the Goods, even if the PDLW was purchased by the Renter. The determination of whether a Member or User has complied with all other Terms is at the sole discretion of RoundAbout.
Owners and Renters are also bound by any and all applicable terms and policies of any insurance providers involved in the transaction. RoundAbout recommends that you carefully read and understand any policy documents which may apply to a rental.Rented Equipment Physical Damage/Loss Waiver Terms and Exclusions
You, the Renter of Goods from an Owner on RoundAbout, assume all responsibility and will be liable and will be charged for all damage to or accidental loss of the Equipment or Goods while rented to You. In order to reduce Your exposure for such damage or accidental loss, RoundAbout offers a Rented Equipment Physical Damage/Loss Waiver (PDLW) that will reduce (but not eliminate) Your responsibility for accidental damage or loss to the rented Equipment or Goods in the specified limit stated below, so long as You are in compliance with all stated Terms.
For Goods whose stated Replacement Value (Agreed Value) within the Rental Agreement is less than two thousand dollars ($2,000 USD), Renters have the option to purchase the PDLW. For Goods whose Replacement Value (Agreed Value) within the Rental Agreement is two thousand dollars ($2,000 USD) up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000 USD), Renters are required to purchase the PDLW.
In return for paying the cost of the PDLW, so long as You, the Renter, fully comply with RoundAbout’s Terms of Use, User Guidelines, Privacy Policy, , the Rental Agreement by and between the Owner and You, RoundAbout’s PDLW will be financially responsible for the accidental damage or loss of the rented equipment’s Replacement Value (Agreed Value), up to the rented equipment claim limit purchased minus the applicable deductible, for the duration of the reserved Rental Period.
Renters who purchase a PDLW will receive an email listing all applicable parameters of the PDLW purchased, including, applicable rental reservation number, effective dates, price or premium, claim limit, and deductible.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The damage limitations set forth below are subject to your compliance with all of obligations under RoundAbout’s Terms of Use and the Rental Agreement. Even if the PDLW is purchased, You will be responsible for the full amount of the loss, damage and/or theft of the rented Equipment or Goods if You fail to comply with all of the obligations.
EXCLUSIONS: A violation of the contract shall exist and PDLW is void and shall not apply to the following situations:Damage, Loss, and/or theft to Items or Goods which are prohibited from being rented on the RoundAbout Platform. See Section 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 for a comprehensive list.
Damage, loss, and/or theft was
Caused intentionally or as a result of willful and wanton misconduct or negligence
Occurred outside of the United States
A result of Dampness, Dryness or Extremes of Temperature
Caused by Governmental Action, Hidden or Latent Defect, Rust, Oxidation, Corrosion or Discoloration, Wear and Tear, Mechanical Breakdown, False Pretense, Insects, Vermin or Animals, Processing or Work Upon the Property, and Unauthorized Transfer
Employee Theft
Equipment Rental Agreement is based on fraudulent or material misrepresentation
Loss of Use of the Rented Equipment
Loss of income, loss of time, or any other loss that is monetized or any other cost that may be incurred by the Owner or Renter.
Mysterious disappearance of the rented Goods (where it is unknown how the rented Goods was lost).
Damage that is considered normal wear and tear
In those circumstances where exclusions apply You, the Renter, accept responsibility for loss, damage and/or theft of the rented Equipment or Goods.
By purchasing the PDLW and using the RoundAbout Platform, You accept the provisions set forth within this contract and fully understand Your obligations as described in RoundAbout’s Terms of Use and the Rental Agreement.
PDLW is not insurance. When deciding whether or not to purchase the PDLW, you may wish to check with your insurance representative to determine whether, in the event of accidental damage or theft, you already have coverage or protection for such accidental damage or theft.
Theft of the Item while in the Renter’s Possession
The determination of whether a theft has occurred is at the sole discretion of RoundAbout, based on an investigation by law enforcement and RoundAbout’s own investigation, which may include contracting investigative services by private investigators and other 3rd parties. All claims of theft require: 1) a copy of a filed police report; 2) confirmation of the police report filing and a criminal investigation by law enforcement; and 3) any information or footage that can help provide details of the theft for RoundAbout’s investigation of the claim.
RoundAbout requires that Renters and Owners initiate claims under their own or an associated 3rd party’s insurance policy (homeowner’s policy, tenant/renter’s policy, equipment policy, etc.) for any damage or theft of the rented Goods. If the Renter’s, Owner’s, or an associated 3rd party’s insurance policy reimburses the Owner for a claim related to the claim that is reported to RoundAbout under the PDLW coverage (involves the same rented Goods), RoundAbout will subtract the reimbursement amount that is due or remitted to the Renter from any financial responsibility that RoundAbout may have to the Renter’s PDLW.
Damage
The determination of whether damage is unintentional and not caused due to other circumstances, actions, or inactions, or if it is considered normal wear and tear as described herein, is at the sole discretion of RoundAbout.
RoundAbout considers any major scratches, scuffs, dents, broken pieces, or other major damage caused unintentionally or accidentally to be damage. Normal wear and tear (including scratches, scuffs, dents, or other less significant damage) is not considered to be damage under the PDLW, and therefore is not covered by the PDLW.
Peripheral Items
Peripheral items include, but are not limited to, batteries, battery chargers, AC Adapters, boxes and packaging, cases, cables, caps, lens hoods, foam and cushioning, bulbs, stakes, covers, etc. If the Renter damages and/or loses any peripheral item(s) included in the rental, within the Rental Period, the Renter agrees to pay for the repair or replacement of the peripheral item(s), whether or not the Renter has opted to purchase the PDLW. Valuation of the peripheral items included in the rental is within the sole discretion of RoundAbout. The determination of whether or not something is a peripheral item and not covered by the PDLW, is at the sole discretion of RoundAbout.
Reimbursement Process
You acknowledge and agree that even if you have purchased the PDLW, in the event of damage or loss assessed by the Owner of the Goods, the Owner may charge you 20% of the Replacement Value stated in the Rental Agreement for any damage or 100% of the Replacement Value stated in the Rental Agreement for loss or theft, per the Owner’s discretion, and per these Terms of Use and your prior agreement to such. Your credit or debit card will be charged to provide payment to the Owner. If you have purchased a Rented Equipment PDLW through the RoundAbout Platform and are in compliance with all Terms, you may submit a claim for a reimbursement up to the stated Limit of the PDLW but no more than the Replacement Value or Agreed Value recorded in the Rental Agreement, less the stated deductible, if the claim is approved by RoundAbout.
If You do not submit a claim form or if the claim is not approved because You have violated any Terms, then You will not receive reimbursement for damage or loss charges and you forfeit any claims to your PDLW.
The PDLW will apply to the rental transaction for which it was purchased, under the Renter name, the reserved Rental Period dates, and does not cover the Goods at any time the Goods were in the Renter’s possession beyond the originally reserved Start Date and End Date (Rental Period). It cannot be transferred to any other Item, Renter, or dates.
Renters who purchase the PDLW must contact RoundAbout as soon as the rented Good is damaged or lost and must file a claim form to www.roundabout.us/damage-waiver-claimform, along with copies of police reports and other primary insurance claims. RoundAbout will conduct an investigation, and at its sole discretion, conclude whether the PDLW applies. Members and Users agree to authorize RoundAbout to conduct an investigation and solely determine if the PDLW applies. There are no guarantees that a purchaser of a PDLW will have any costs of repair or replacement of the Owner’s Goods waived, and there are no guarantees that an Owner will be reimbursed for any costs of repair or replacement, or any other costs.
You accept the provisions set forth within this ‘Rented Equipment Physical Damage/Loss Waiver’ section of the Terms of Use and fully understand your obligations as described in the Terms of Use and Rental Agreement, Guidelines and Policies.
If RoundAbout receives a cardholder dispute or chargeback for any charges that were authorized by the Renter using the RoundAbout Platform, the Renter agrees to immediately remit payment to RoundAbout for the disputed charge amount and a $35.00 fee for each disputed charge. RoundAbout will respond to any disputes with any information that indicates that the charge was authorized by the Renter.

8. Disputes (Agreement to Arbitrate)
You and RoundAbout agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between us will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section (“Disputes”). Please read this Section carefully. It affects your rights and will impact how claims you and we have against each other are resolved.
Contact RoundAbout First: If a dispute arises between you and RoundAbout, our goal is to learn about and address your concerns and, if we are unable to do so to your satisfaction, to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Disputes between you and RoundAbout regarding RoundAbout may be reported to info@Roundabout.us.
Applicable Law: You agree that the laws of the State of Deleware, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this Terms of Use and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and RoundAbout, except as otherwise stated in this User Agreement.
Agreement to Arbitrate: You and RoundAbout each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and RoundAbout shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief: YOU AND ROUNDABOUT 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. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND ROUNDABOUT AGREE OTHERWISE, THE 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 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 ROUNDABOUT USERS OR MEMBERS.
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. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator also must follow the terms of this Terms of Use as a court would. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s website at http://www.adr.org. The arbitration shall be held in San Mateo County, California or at another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or RoundAbout may elect to have the arbitration
conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and RoundAbout subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or RoundAbout, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, 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 RoundAbout members or users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same RoundAbout member or 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.
Costs of Arbitration: Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse RoundAbout for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by RoundAbout on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA’s rules.
Severability: With the exception of any of the provisions in any subsection of this Agreement to Arbitrate (“Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief”), if a court decides that any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If a court decides that any of the provisions in subsection of this Agreement to Arbitrate (“Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief”) is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms of Use, including all other provisions of this section (“Disputes”), will continue to apply.
Opt-Out Procedure. You can choose to reject this Agreement to Arbitrate (“opt out”) by mailing us a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”). Please email us at info@roundabout.us for the mailing address. For new RoundAbout members or users, the Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than 30 Days after the date you accept the Terms of Use for the first time. The Opt-Out Notice must state that you do not agree to this Agreement to Arbitrate and must include your name, address, phone number, and the email address(es) used to log in to the RoundAbout account(s) to which the opt-out applies.

Opting out of this Agreement to Arbitrate has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us.
Future Changes to the Agreement to Arbitrate: Notwithstanding any provision in the Terms of Use to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any change to this Agreement to Arbitrate (other than a change to any notice address or website link provided herein) in the future, that change shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against RoundAbout prior to the effective date of the change. Moreover, if we seek to terminate the Agreement to Arbitrate as included in the Terms of Use, any such termination shall not be effective until 30 days after the version of the Terms of Use Agreement not containing the Agreement to Arbitrate is posted to https://www.roundabout.us, and shall not be effective as to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against RoundAbout prior to the effective date of termination.
Insolvency Proceedings: If any proceeding by or against you is commenced under any provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or under any other bankruptcy or insolvency law, RoundAbout will be entitled to recover all reasonable costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement.
No Waiver: Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. Indemnification.

Assumption of Rights: If RoundAbout pays out a claim, reversal or chargeback that you file against another RoundAbout user or member, you agree that RoundAbout assumes your rights against the recipient and third parties related to the payment, and may pursue those rights directly or on your behalf, in RoundAbout’s discretion.

claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. In entering into this release, you expressly waive any protections that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.
