Terms of Service
LAST UPDATED: December 2023
Welcome to RentOui, a new platform with a website located at www.rentoui.com that provides a marketplace for some platform users ("Lenders") to advertise and rent (a "Rental") or sell (a "Purchase") their luxury handbags and other accessories ("Items") to other Platform users (such user, a "Borrower").
THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND RENTOUI
These Terms of Service (the "Terms," and any specific term or condition that is part of the Terms, a "Term") are entered into by and between you and RentOui LLC, a Florida limited liability company (together with any subsidiaries that may exist, "RentOui," "we," "our," "us").

Other Important Points About Your Account

Unless expressly permitted elsewhere by these Terms, you are not allowed to share or provide access to your Account, or your Account password or login credentials to anyone other than RentOui personnel. Your Account is not transferable.
- You – not RentOui, any other Platform user, or third party – are solely responsible for any activity done on your Account, or by using your Account in any way, whether that is done knowingly and/or intentionally by you or otherwise.
- RentOui reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to not accept any person as a registered user.
ITEM RENTALS AND PURCHASES
RentOui is a Marketplace, not a Lender or Seller of any Items.
RentOui is a marketplace and venue for you to learn about and rent or purchase Items from Lenders. However, RentOui is not the owner or the Borrower of any Items available on the Platform.
Agreements for Item Rentals or Item Purchases are Between Lenders and Borrowers.
- In addition to the parts of these Terms that set out the legal agreement form between you and RentOui, these Terms also set out the terms and conditions of the agreement that is formed between a Lender and a Borrower.
- Whether you are a Borrower or a Lender, you hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the applicable Lender, not RentOui, is, as between the applicable Borrower and Lender, the legal owner of any Item that is being rented or purchased and (ii) any agreement between a Borrower and Lender for an Item Rental or Purchase is only between that Borrower and that Lender, and (iii) RentOui is not a legal party to that Borrower-Lender agreement.
- You further acknowledge and agree that any such agreement between a Lender and a Borrower only comes into legal effect at the time when a Borrower's Rental or Purchase of an Item is confirmed by RentOui (usually in a confirmation email).
How to Rent or Purchase an Item.
First You Need An Account: To rent an Item, you need to have your Account (including your Payment Card) authorized by RentOui in writing.
Once your Account has been approved, you can go to our RentOui Marketplacewww.rentoui.com and start looking for that perfect handbag or other Item. From the RentOui Marketplace, you will be able to connect directly with a Lender for the Rental or Purchase of one or more Items.
Pricing and Payment for Item Rentals and Purchases
- Any prices listed for Renting or Purchasing an Item or for any other transactions available through the Platform are subject to change without notice.
- An Item's price, whether for Rental or Purchase, will be set by the Lender, subject to RentOui's ultimate review and confirmation. As discussed more in our RentOui FAQs,www.rentoui.com/p/faq, a Lender is free to communicate with a potential Borrower to negotiate the commercial terms of a Rental or Purchase. For instance, a Borrower may be able to negotiate with a Lender for a lower daily fee or a longer-than-average Rental period.
- The Lender will also (subject to RentOui's ultimate review and confirmation) specify the amount of any deposit required in connection with renting an Item. You hereby agree that your Payment Card may be charged for the entire amount of the deposit in connection with your Rental should damage above ordinary wear and tear, theft or loss occur to the rented item.
- Unless expressly stated elsewhere in these Terms, the price for any Rental or Purchase does not include any taxes, duties, Payment Card fees, or other charges that you may be responsible for, and these will be added to your transaction total, where required.
- We are not responsible for any pricing, typographical, or other errors in any offer by a Lender, by us, or by a third party. We reserve the right to, in our sole discretion, cancel any Rental, Purchase, or other transaction in the event of any such errors and facilitate the refund of any monies you may have already paid.
Payment Terms; Payment Cards
- Payment Terms are determined by RentOui in its sole discretion and, unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, full payment of all amounts required for the Rental, Purchase, or other transaction must be confirmed by RentOui as received before we confirm that transaction.
- Payment may only be made with a valid credit card, debit card, or use of those bona fide electronic payment providers (i.e., PayPal) that the Platform indicates are accepted (collectively, "Payment Cards"). We reserve the right to accept or decline some forms of payment, including, but not limited to "pre-paid" or "re-loadable" Payment Cards.
- A Payment Card authorization form may be required before approval of any Rental or Purchase. You acknowledge and agree that RentOui has the right to run a prequalification screening and/or credit check on you should RentOui deem that necessary or appropriate.
- By using a Payment Card, you represent and warrant that (i) all Payment Card information you supply to us or any Payment Processor (defined below) is true, correct, and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use such Payment Card for such transaction, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your Payment Card issuer or provider ("Payment Card Company"), (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the prices, including all applicable taxes, shipping or delivery costs and other amounts (if any), and (v) you have the full right and authority to enter into the applicable transaction in the manner elected without violating any applicable law, rule, or regulation. You will be solely responsible for any fees or charges you may incur in connection with using a Payment Card.
- You must provide and maintain current, complete, and accurate Payment Card information and you represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use any such Payment Card.
- Notwithstanding any amounts payable to RentOui, to a Lender, or another party through the Platform, RentOui does not itself process payments. We use a third-party payment processor (a "Payment Processor") to bill you through the Payment Card linked to your Account or otherwise provided in connection with a transaction. Currently, we use Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates ("Stripe"), a third-party payment processor, as our Payment Processor. These payment processing services provided by Stripe are subject to the Stripe terms and conditions and other policies available at https://stripe.com/legal and Stripe's Global Privacy Policy available at:https://stripe.com/privacy (collectively, the "Stripe Agreements"). By agreeing to these Terms, Platform users that use the payment functions of the Platform also agree to be bound by the Stripe Agreements, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. You hereby authorize Stripe to store (and, if applicable, continue billing) your specified Payment Card even after such Payment Card has expired. Please contact Stripe for more information. RentOui assumes no liability or responsibility for any payments you make through the Platform. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that the Payment Processor makes even if it has already requested or received payment. If we, through the Payment Processor, do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due in connection with your Account upon demand. You authorize us to attempt repeat charges on your Payment Card if an initial attempt to charge fails.
- We may choose not to process or accept any Rental or Purchase you attempt to complete through the Platform at our sole discretion.
- Should RentOui not receive any amount required for a Rental, Purchase, or other transaction when due, your transaction may be canceled. You agree to pay any amounts in connection with a Rental, Purchase, or other transaction you agreed to upon demand by RentOui.
- You hereby agree to the placement of a credit card hold to cover any Rental deposit, Rental late fees, or any additional charges for any unexpected losses or damages incurred by RentOui and/or, in the case of a Rental, any loss or damages incurred by the applicable Lender that you are responsible for under these Terms.
- You further agree that if you do not return an item you have rented you will be charged a late fee for each day over the return date and your credit card may be charged for the additional daily rental fee as well as a daily late fee. In the event the item is not returned within 5 days after the end of the rental period, you will provide a written explanation of the circumstances to the Lender and to RentOui. Your credit card will be charged the full retail value of the item in the event the item is not returned within that period of time in RentOui's discretion. The circumstances surrounding your inability to return the item must be communicated in writing to the lender and to RentOui. Any item reported lost will be assumed to be stolen and a police report may be filed for the stolen item.
DELIVERY AND RETURNS
- IMPORTANT: At this time, RentOui only allows for Rentals and Purchases where the delivery location is within the city of New York or the Miami Metropolitan area.
- We offer a delivery service with third-party couriers or carrier where they will pick up and deliver items subject to the transactions contemplated herein. You are responsible for confirming the accuracy of all delivery information. We do not guarantee deliveries for any specific date, however, the courier or carrier may provide tracking information to assist you in the timely delivery of items. RentOui is not responsible for any item lost, damaged or stolen in transit but we can assist you in resolving issues related thereto. Users may also arrange for the delivery of items between themselves.
RULES YOU NEED TO FOLLOW WITH WHEN YOU RENT AN ITEM
When you Rent an Item, you agree to comply with each of the following Terms:
- You may only use an Item for your personal, household, or internal business purposes (i.e. something you bring to a business event). Otherwise, without RentOui's specific written approval, you may not use an Item for any other commercial, business, or other purposes, including in connection with your creation or distribution of any advertising, promotional, or marketing materials.
- Unless a Lender expressly agrees otherwise, you are the only person who may use the rented Item; you may not make it available to anyone else for their use.
- You must use and otherwise deal with a rented Item in a safe, appropriate, and reasonable manner at all times, always taking due care to minimize the loss, destruction, disappearance, or any damage to such rented Item.
- You may not sell, lend, lease, or rent out an Item to any third party.
- You must comply with all other conditions on usage (except any conditions that conflict with any of these Terms) that a Lender may have specified as part of your arrangement to Rent an Item.
- You must notify RentOui and the Lender in writing if you know or have reason to believe you may not be available to accept delivery at or arrange for the return of an Item to the locations specified in RentOui's written confirmation of your Rental.
LATE RETURNS; DAMAGE OR LOSS OF A RENTED ITEM
- If you return an Item after the return date specified in RentOui's written confirmation for the Rental, you will be charged an amount equal to fifty dollars ($50) plus the daily Rental fee for each day the Item is returned late.
- If you rent an Item, then, from the time it is delivered to the address you specified to the Lender to the time it is delivered back to the address specified by the Lender, you are solely responsible for any loss, destruction, or damage to the Item for any reason beyond normal wear and tear, whether that's the result of theft, disappearance, fire, water damage, major staining or otherwise.
- In the event of any such loss, disappearance, destruction, or damage (beyond ordinary course wear-and-tear) to an Item while you are responsible for it, you are required to immediately report the issue in sufficient detail in writing, to (1) RentOui (by email to help@rentoui.com) and (2) to the Lender through the Lender messaging feature on the Platform. You will also provide any photos of a damaged Item requested by RentOui or the applicable Lender.
- In the event of a Rented Item's destruction, disappearance, or damage, a Borrower is responsible for the following costs:
- If the Item was damaged but can be repaired at a reasonable expense to the Lender: the Borrower is responsible for the repair costs provided that the Lender must submit sufficient documentation on the costs of repair and the repair service that was used. If RentOui determines the Lender's costs of repair are excessive or otherwise unreasonable, RentOui shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to reduce the amount payable by the Borrower in such instance, and RentOui's determination shall be binding and not appealable by either the Borrower or Lender;
- If the Item was destroyed, lost, or damaged in a way that cannot be readily repaired at a commercially reasonable cost relative to the Item's value as listed on the Platform immediately before your Rental is confirmed (the Item's "Listed Value"), the Borrower must pay the Listed Value; provided, that the Listed Value may not exceed the manufacturer's suggested retail price ("MSRP") or current fair market value for that Item (i.e. the Item's original 'sticker price' recommended by an Item's manufacturer to retailers). In the event of any disagreement over whether the Listed Value of an Item exceeds its MSRP, RentOui shall determine the Item's MSRP or current fair market value. Such determination is final, binding, and not subject to appeal by any party.
- The Borrower may also be charged an amount equal to 1.5 times the daily Rental fee for each day reasonably required for the Lender, acting promptly, to have the Item repaired or replaced.
- A Borrower may not attempt to repair or replace a rented Item that is damaged, destroyed, or lost without the Lender's express written consent to do so.
- If you are deemed to owe RentOui or a Platform user according to these Terms, you hereby agree to pay any amounts owed within 72 hours of written notification to the most recent email address associated with your Account. You are responsible for ensuring this email address remains functional and that you check this email address regularly.
- If any such amount is not paid in that time, you agree that RentOui may charge this amount to your Payment Card. You hereby agree not to contest any such charges with your Payment Card provider.
- If you are authorized by the Lender to have the Item repaired, you will be responsible for the daily Rental fee for each additional day the Item is not available to the Lender beyond the end of your agreed-upon Rental period.
IF AN ITEM IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR DELIVERY AS SCHEDULED
There may be instances when an Item you have Rented or Purchased is unavailable for delivery to you as scheduled (as per the terms of RentOui confirmation of that Rental or Purchase).
- Whenever possible, a Lender is obligated to let you, the Borrower, know, as early as possible if that will occur.
- If an Item cannot be delivered to you for any part of the Rental period or at all (in the case of a Purchase), you will be automatically provided with a full refund for any portion of the Rental or Purchase price you may have already paid and you will have no further payment obligations for that Item.
- If an Item can be delivered to you for only part of the Rental period, you have three (3) options:
- If the Lender confirms the Item is available during that time, you can choose to adjust the duration of your Rental by notifying the Lender so it extends by up to a maximum number of days equal to the number of days your Item was delivered late;
- Your total Rental fee will be reduced by an amount equal to 1.5 times the daily Rental rate for each day it is delivered late. With this option, you will also be automatically refunded any amounts already paid but no longer part of the Rental fee total; and/or
- You and the Lender may agree to another resolution provided that this resolution complies with these Terms and is approved by RentOui in writing.

-
Our dispute resolution team may access your communications and ask for additional evidence, including photographs, estimates and police reports which you agree to immediately provide.

-
You agree to be bound by the decision of RentOui and to pay any amounts owed by you, however, you may still pursue your legal rights against the User with who you have a disagreement.
DISPUTES WITH RENTOUI; BINDING ARBITRATION
In the event of a dispute with RentOui concerning any RentOui Matter (a "Dispute"), you and RentOui agree (except as otherwise expressly permitted under these Terms) to submit that Dispute exclusively to binding individual arbitration as further described below.
Informal Dispute Resolution Process
- Except as otherwise expressly permitted under these Terms, before you or RentOui submit a Dispute to arbitration, you and RentOui agree you will work in good faith to resolve any Dispute informally as follows:
- To start the dispute process, you must send an individualized written notice ("Dispute Notice") to help@rentoui.com that includes (1) your name, username (if different) phone number, and e-mail address, (2) a description of the Dispute and how you'd like it resolved. Likewise, if RentOui has a Dispute with you, we will send a Dispute Notice with the same information to the email address for your Account.
- Once a complete Dispute Notice has been received, the recipient has 60 days to investigate the claims making up the Dispute.
- If either side requests a settlement conference during this period, then you and RentOui must cooperate to schedule that meeting by phone or videoconference.
- You and RentOui each will personally participate and can each bring counsel, but the conference must be individualized, even if the same firm(s) represent multiple parties.
- For the claims in the Dispute Notice, any statute of limitations will be tolled from the date the notice is received until the later of (i) 60 days, or (ii) after a timely requested settlement conference is completed ("Informal Resolution Period").
- An arbitration cannot be filed until the Informal Resolution Period has ended, and a court can enjoin the filing or prosecution of an arbitration in breach of this Section.
Agreement to Arbitrate
If the Dispute has not been resolved following the expiration of the Informal Resolution Period, you and RentOui agree to submit exclusively to binding individual arbitration in accordance with the following Terms:
- YOU AND RENTOUI ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
- ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN YOU AND RENTOUI ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO A RENTOUI MATTER WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING, CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION.
- In the event arbitration involves a claim, dispute, or controversy between us and a Platform user acting in the capacity of a Lender (a "Lender Dispute"), the arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect (the AAA Commercial Rules are available at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. Such arbitration shall be conducted in Miami, Florida at the AAA office closest to RentOui's principal place of business.
- In the event of any claim, dispute, or controversy other than a Lender Dispute, the arbitration will be administered by the AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Consumer Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this "Agreement to Arbitrate" Section (The AAA Consumer Rules are available at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this provision.
- The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision, these Terms, or any agreement between you and RentOui formed, in whole or in part, pursuant to these Terms, is void, voidable, or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- If you prevail on any claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys' fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to you under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.
- In the event of any claim, dispute, or controversy other than a Lender Dispute, you may elect to pursue your claim in small-claims court rather than arbitration if you provide us with written notice of your intention to do so within sixty (60) days of you notifying us about the Dispute. The arbitration or small-claims court proceeding will be limited solely to the specific Dispute you have informed us of in accordance with this Section.
- You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR ANY OTHER PLATFORM USERS NOR RENTOUI WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST RENTOUI OR ANY PLATFORM USER(S) IN COURT OR ARBITRATION OR TO OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.
- If any provision of the arbitration agreement included in these Terms is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced. This agreement to arbitrate will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
EQUITABLE REMEDIES
You acknowledge that RentOui would be irreparably damaged in the event of your breach or threatened breach of any of the Terms set forth in the "Content and RentOui's Intellectual Property Rights", "User Content; License Grant", "Other Prohibited User Conduct", "[Lender Representations and Warranties]", and "[Lender Publicity Restrictions]" Sections, and you agree that, notwithstanding anything in the "Disputes with RentOui; Binding Arbitration" Section elsewhere in these Terms to the contrary, in the event of such a breach or a threatened breach, RentOui will be entitled to an injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond) to prevent such breaches of the Terms and to enforce specifically the Terms in the Sections listed in this sentence in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which we may be entitled, at law or in equity.
