PARTIES
This Rental Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between The Rickshaw Affair, a Texas sole proprietorship ("Company"), and You (the Client) ("Client"). Company and Client are referred to individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties." Client affirms that they are at least eighteen (18) years of age and have full authority to enter into this Agreement.
EVENT DETAILS
Event Type: {{eventType}} Event Date: your event date Venue Arrival: Venue Departure: Venue Window: 0 hours (0 hours included in package) Event Location: Package: Decoration: {{decorationName}} Assigned Driver: {{driverName}}
NATURE OF THE VEHICLE; PRIVATE PROPERTY ONLY
Client understands and agrees that the rickshaw is a decorated, low-speed electric vehicle that IS NOT STREET LEGAL and IS NOT REGISTERED, INSURED, OR PERMITTED FOR OPERATION ON ANY PUBLIC ROAD, STREET, HIGHWAY, SIDEWALK, OR RIGHT-OF-WAY. The rickshaw is provided strictly for use on private property. Company delivers and removes the rickshaw by trailer and operates it only within the private grounds of the Venue. Client represents and warrants that (i) the Venue is private property, (ii) Client has obtained all permissions, approvals, and authority necessary for the rickshaw to be present and operated at the Venue, and (iii) Client will provide any certificate of insurance or venue documentation Company reasonably requests. Client is solely responsible for any consequence arising from the rickshaw being operated off private property at Client's or Client's guests' direction or insistence, and Client releases Company from any liability arising therefrom.
PAYMENT TERMS
Total Quoted Amount: $0.00 Deposit Due at Signing: $0.00 Remaining Balance: $0.00
The Deposit Due at Signing shown above, which is at least 50% of the Total Quoted Amount unless Company has agreed a different amount with Client in writing, is charged at the time of signing to the payment card Client provides at signing (the "card on file"). The Remaining Balance shown above is then charged automatically to that same card on file 14 days before the Event Date, or as soon after that as is practicable where this Agreement is signed close to that date, and in no case earlier than 14 days before the Event Date. That scheduled charge date is: not applicable, paid in full at signing. No further authorization or action by Client is required for that charge. Where this Agreement is signed within 14 days of the Event Date there is no Remaining Balance, and the Total Quoted Amount is charged in full at signing. Company will email Client before the balance charge, naming the date and the amount, and will email an itemized receipt after it.
By signing this Agreement, Client expressly authorizes Company and Company's payment processor to store the card on file and to charge it, on an unattended and off-session basis with Client not present, for: (i) the Deposit Due at Signing; (ii) the Remaining Balance on the date described above; and (iii) any applicable overtime, damage, media opt-out, or adjustment charges as described in this Agreement, which are charged after the event. This authorization is given for these specific, disclosed charges only. It is not an authorization to charge any other amount, and it ends when every amount owed under this Agreement has been paid. Where the card on file belongs to the Signer (as defined in SIGNER IDENTITY AND AUTHORITY below) rather than to Client, the Signer gives this authorization as to that card in addition to Client, and both are bound by it. Client will receive an itemized receipt via email following any charge. Client is responsible for keeping a valid card on file and for telling Company promptly if the card changes or expires.
If the card on file is declined, or the Remaining Balance is for any other reason not collected when charged, Company will notify Client by email at the address on file and provide a secure payment link. Client shall then pay the Remaining Balance in full no later than 7 days before the Event Date or, where the decline occurs later than 7 days before the Event Date, within 48 hours of Company's notice and in any case before the Venue Arrival time on the Event Date (in either case, the "Payment Cure Deadline"). Payment of the Remaining Balance is a condition of Company's performance, and COMPANY IS NOT OBLIGATED TO DELIVER, SET UP, OR OPERATE THE RICKSHAW AT ANY TIME WHILE ANY PART OF THE REMAINING BALANCE IS UNPAID. IF THE REMAINING BALANCE IS STILL UNPAID WHEN THE PAYMENT CURE DEADLINE PASSES, COMPANY MAY, ON WRITTEN NOTICE TO CLIENT, TREAT THE BOOKING AS CANCELLED BY CLIENT EFFECTIVE THE DAY AFTER THE PAYMENT CURE DEADLINE, AND THE CANCELLATION POLICY BELOW GOVERNS THAT CANCELLATION. Because a cancellation under this paragraph takes effect within 7 days of the Event Date, no refund of the deposit is issued; any part of the Remaining Balance Company has actually collected is refunded in full as provided in the CANCELLATION POLICY. Company's election to allow Client more time, or not to cancel, is not a waiver of any amount owed or of any right under this paragraph.
CLIENT WAIVES THE RIGHT TO INITIATE A CHARGEBACK OR PAYMENT DISPUTE FOR ANY CHARGE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT. Client agrees to raise any question about a charge with Company first, in writing to {{companyEmail}}, and to allow Company 10 business days to resolve it before initiating a dispute with the card issuer. Should Client initiate a chargeback in breach of this provision, Client shall be responsible for the disputed amount plus any fees and costs, including attorney's fees, incurred by Company in responding.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Cancellations made 14 or more days before the event date will receive a full refund of the deposit. Cancellations made 7 to 13 days before the event will receive a 50% refund of the deposit. No refund of the deposit is issued for cancellations within 7 days of the event. For purposes of this schedule, a booking that Company treats as cancelled by Client for non-payment of the Remaining Balance under PAYMENT TERMS above is a cancellation by Client made on the effective date stated in Company's written notice, which is the day after the Payment Cure Deadline and is therefore within 7 days of the event.
The refund schedule above applies to the DEPOSIT only. Any part of the Remaining Balance that has already been collected is refunded IN FULL for any cancellation made before the event, including a cancellation for non-payment, whenever that cancellation is made and whatever the deposit refund comes to. Refunds are issued to the original card within 10 business days of Company's receipt of the written cancellation or, where Company cancels for non-payment, within 10 business days of the effective date of that cancellation.
The amounts Company retains under the schedule above are liquidated damages, and are not a penalty. Company operates a single rickshaw and reserves the Event Date exclusively for Client from the moment this Agreement is signed, turning away other bookings for that date and committing decoration, driver, trailer, and delivery capacity to it. The Parties agree that the harm to Company from a cancellation is real but incapable of, or unreasonably difficult to, precise estimation at the time of signing, particularly the value of the bookings Company did not take for that date, and that the amounts retained under the schedule above are a reasonable forecast of that harm, decreasing as the notice Company receives increases. Client agrees that this is a fair pre-estimate of Company's loss and is not a punishment for cancelling. The same is true of a cancellation for non-payment of the Remaining Balance: Company has held the Event Date exclusively for Client from signing through the Payment Cure Deadline, has turned away other bookings for that date over that whole period, and receives less usable notice than in any other cancellation under this schedule, which is why the amount Company retains is the amount stated above for a cancellation within 7 days of the event and no more.
All cancellations by Client must be submitted in writing to {{companyEmail}}. A cancellation by Company for non-payment of the Remaining Balance under PAYMENT TERMS above is made by Company's written notice to Client. If Company is genuinely unable to fulfill the booking due to circumstances within its reasonable control, Client's sole and exclusive remedy is a full refund of all amounts paid, and Company shall have no further liability of any kind.
DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE
Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to arrive at the Venue within 30 minutes of the agreed Venue Arrival time. Minor delays due to traffic, weather, or logistics do not constitute a breach of this Agreement. Client's acceptance of delivery constitutes acknowledgment that the rickshaw appears operational and fit for its intended purpose, unless Client provides written notice of a defect to Company within 30 minutes of delivery.
OPERATION AND SAFETY RULES
The rickshaw shall be operated SOLELY by Company's designated driver at all times. Client shall not, and shall not permit any guest, vendor, or third party to, operate, drive, move, or tamper with the rickshaw under any circumstances. Client agrees, and agrees to cause its guests and invitees, to comply with all of the following at all times: (i) do not exceed the stated seating capacity of the vehicle; (ii) remain seated while the vehicle is in motion, with all limbs inside the vehicle; (iii) no standing, hanging, leaning out, or riding on any exterior part of the vehicle; (iv) children must be accompanied and supervised by a responsible adult; (v) do not board or ride while visibly intoxicated or impaired; (vi) do not distract, obstruct, or interfere with the driver; and (vii) comply with all reasonable safety instructions given by the driver. THE DRIVER MAY, IN THE DRIVER'S SOLE DISCRETION, PAUSE, SUSPEND, OR END OPERATION AT ANY TIME IF THE DRIVER BELIEVES CONDITIONS OR CONDUCT ARE UNSAFE, WITHOUT REFUND AND WITHOUT LIABILITY TO COMPANY.
ALCOHOL AND IMPAIRMENT
Company does not provide, serve, or sell alcohol. Client is solely responsible for the sobriety and conduct of Client's guests and invitees. The driver may refuse to board or transport any person who appears intoxicated or impaired, in the driver's sole discretion, and any such refusal shall not entitle Client to any refund or give rise to any liability of Company.
ASSUMPTION OF RISK
CLIENT UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT RIDING IN, BOARDING, EXITING, POSING WITH, OR BEING NEAR A MOVING VEHICLE INVOLVES INHERENT AND UNAVOIDABLE RISKS, INCLUDING THE RISK OF BODILY INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND, IN EXTREME CASES, DEATH. CLIENT, ON BEHALF OF CLIENT AND ALL OF CLIENT'S GUESTS, INVITEES, AND VENDORS, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUMES ALL SUCH RISKS, WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF COMPANY.
RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY TEXAS LAW, CLIENT, ON BEHALF OF CLIENT AND CLIENT'S GUESTS, INVITEES, VENDORS, HEIRS, AND ASSIGNS, HEREBY RELEASES, WAIVES, AND FOREVER DISCHARGES COMPANY, ITS OWNER, DRIVERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY, THE "RELEASED PARTIES") FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES OF EVERY KIND, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE RENTAL, PRESENCE, OR OPERATION OF THE RICKSHAW, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES. THIS RELEASE IS INTENDED TO SATISFY THE TEXAS EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE DOCTRINE AND THE FAIR NOTICE REQUIREMENTS AND IS CONSPICUOUSLY SET FORTH IN CAPITAL LETTERS FOR THAT PURPOSE. THIS RELEASE DOES NOT WAIVE ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE WAIVED, AND DOES NOT APPLY TO COMPANY'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
MINORS; PARENT AND GUARDIAN CONSENT
If any guest, invitee, or participant is under the age of eighteen (18), Client represents and warrants that Client is the parent or legal guardian of each such minor, or has obtained the authorization of each minor's parent or legal guardian, to accept all terms of this Agreement on the minor's behalf. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY TEXAS LAW, CLIENT, IN CLIENT'S CAPACITY AS PARENT OR GUARDIAN (OR AS THEIR AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE), AGREES TO THE ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND THE RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY ABOVE ON BEHALF OF EACH SUCH MINOR, AND SHALL DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS THE RELEASED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIM BROUGHT BY, ON BEHALF OF, OR IN RESPECT OF ANY MINOR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE RENTAL, PRESENCE, OR OPERATION OF THE RICKSHAW, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY COMPANY'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. Client is solely responsible for the supervision of all minors in Client's party at all times.
INDEMNIFICATION
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CLIENT SHALL DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS THE RELEASED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, JUDGMENTS, PENALTIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY'S FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO (i) THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF CLIENT OR CLIENT'S GUESTS, INVITEES, OR VENDORS; (ii) ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY CLIENT; OR (iii) THE PRESENCE OR OPERATION OF THE RICKSHAW AT THE VENUE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY COMPANY'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RELEASED PARTIES' TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL RENTAL FEE ACTUALLY PAID BY CLIENT TO COMPANY. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE RELEASED PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, ENJOYMENT, OR OPPORTUNITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
INSURANCE
Company maintains such insurance as it deems appropriate for its operations. Client is responsible for the Venue's requirements and for Client's own event and liability insurance, and Client shall not rely on Company's coverage for any loss suffered by Client or Client's guests, invitees, or vendors.
DAMAGE; TOTAL LOSS; FULL-VALUE RESPONSIBILITY
Client assumes full financial responsibility for any loss of or damage to the rickshaw caused by Client or Client's guests, invitees, vendors, or any third party present at Client's invitation during the Rental Period, beyond normal wear and tear. Client shall be responsible for the full cost of all parts and labor necessary to restore the rickshaw to its pre-rental condition.
THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE REPLACEMENT VALUE OF THE RICKSHAW IS $15,000.00 (FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS) (THE "AGREED VALUE"). IN THE EVENT THE RICKSHAW IS DESTROYED, STOLEN, DAMAGED BEYOND ECONOMICAL REPAIR, OR NOT RETURNED TO COMPANY'S POSSESSION AT THE END OF THE RENTAL PERIOD (A "TOTAL LOSS"), CLIENT SHALL PAY COMPANY THE AGREED VALUE AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR THE LOSS OF THE VEHICLE, LESS ONLY ANY AMOUNT COMPANY ACTUALLY RECEIVES FROM INSURANCE FOR THE SAME LOSS. THE AGREED VALUE IS THE PARTIES' STIPULATED VALUE OF THE VEHICLE AND IS THE MOST COMPANY MAY RECOVER FOR THE LOSS OF THE VEHICLE ITSELF ON A TOTAL LOSS. Company's recovery under this section is not limited to or capped by the rental fee, and this DAMAGE section is an express exception to the Limitation of Liability above with respect to Client's obligations to Company.
The Agreed Value is liquidated damages and is not a penalty. The rickshaw is a single imported low-speed electric vehicle with no established resale market in Texas, and it is the only vehicle Company operates. The cost and the lead time of obtaining a comparable replacement, and the bookings Company cannot serve while it has no vehicle, are real but incapable of, or unreasonably difficult to, precise estimation at the time of signing. The Parties agree that the Agreed Value is a reasonable forecast of that harm, that it reflects what a comparable replacement vehicle costs to acquire and bring into service, and that it is not a punishment for Client. Where the rickshaw is damaged but can be economically repaired, this paragraph does not apply and Client's responsibility is the actual cost of repair under the first paragraph of this section, as established by repair invoices or, where replacement parts or any diminution in value are in question, Company's purchase records or a qualified appraisal.
Client's responsibility under this section also includes, without limitation: (i) loss of use, meaning the rental income Company reasonably loses while the rickshaw is out of service for repair or replacement, for up to thirty (30) days; (ii) towing, recovery, transport, and storage costs; and (iii) any diminution in the vehicle's value following repair. All such amounts will be charged to the card on file within fourteen (14) days of Company's written assessment. Client has five (5) business days from receipt of the written assessment to dispute it in writing to {{companyEmail}}; an undisputed assessment is deemed accepted.
OVERTIME
A complimentary grace period of 15 minutes before and after the booked venue window is provided at no charge. If the event extends beyond the booked departure time, overtime will be charged at $150 (billed in 30-minute increments) and automatically applied to the card on file after the event.
DECORATION ADD-ONS
Any decoration add-ons selected by Client are reflected in the total quoted amount above and may not be changed after signing without written agreement from Company, subject to availability.
FORCE MAJEURE AND WEATHER
The rickshaw operates in light rain. Neither Party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including severe weather (lightning, sustained high winds, flooding, or conditions deemed unsafe by Company in its sole discretion), acts of God, fire, power failure, mechanical failure, government action, or public emergency. In such cases Company may, in its discretion, reschedule the booking to a mutually agreed date at no penalty. If no mutually agreeable date is found within 60 days, Client's sole remedy is a full refund of all amounts paid, including the deposit and any Remaining Balance already collected.
PHOTO, VIDEO, AND MEDIA CONSENT
Organic and Editorial Use: Client grants Company permission to use photos and videos taken during or in connection with the event for organic marketing purposes, including social media posts, website content, editorial coverage, and promotional materials, unless Client opts out in writing to {{companyEmail}} at least 48 hours prior to the event at no charge.
Late Opt-Out Fee: If Client requests to opt out of organic media use less than 48 hours before the event or on the day of the event, a media opt-out fee of {{mediaOptOutFee}} will be charged to the card on file to compensate Company for lost content value and any content creation costs already incurred. This fee is non-refundable.
Client-Provided and Company-Captured Content: This consent applies equally to (a) all photographs and video that Company or its personnel capture in connection with the rental, and (b) any photographs, video, or other media that Client or Client's guests provide, send, tag, upload, or otherwise share with Company. Client grants Company a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable license to store, reproduce, edit, and use all such content in any organic or paid marketing, on any platform, and represents and warrants that Client holds the rights necessary to grant this license.
Paid Advertising: By signing this Agreement, Client also grants Company explicit written consent - under Texas common law governing misappropriation of name or likeness, and under Chapter 26 of the Texas Property Code to the extent it applies - to use Client's name, likeness, image, and event footage in paid advertising campaigns, including paid social media advertising, digital display advertising, sponsored content, and promotional materials. Client may revoke this consent for future paid advertising use at any time by written notice to {{companyEmail}}, but such revocation shall not apply to campaigns already created, approved, or in active distribution at the time of revocation.
Authority for Guest Likeness: Client represents and warrants that Client has the authority to grant the media and publicity rights set forth in this section on behalf of Client's guests, invitees, and any minors in Client's care, and Client shall DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS the Released Parties from and against any claim by any such person arising out of Company's use of photos, video, name, or likeness as permitted in this Agreement.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Each Party agrees to keep confidential all non-public information disclosed by the other Party in connection with this Agreement, including pricing, operational methods, vendor relationships, and business practices ("Confidential Information"), and shall not disclose it to any third party without the other Party's prior written consent, except as required by law. This obligation survives termination for two (2) years. For clarity, Client's acknowledgment of this booking does not obligate Client to keep the existence of the booking confidential - only Company's non-public business information.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION; GOVERNING LAW; ATTORNEY'S FEES; JURY WAIVER
The Parties agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation, and if unresolved within 30 days, through non-binding mediation before initiating litigation. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any legal action shall be brought EXCLUSIVELY in the state courts located in Dallas County, Texas, and each Party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue there. IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PREVAILING PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ITS REASONABLE ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COSTS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH ACTION.
MISCELLANEOUS
If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of the same provision on another occasion. Client may not assign this Agreement without Company's written consent. This Agreement may be executed and signed electronically and in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior negotiations, representations, and agreements, and may be amended only by a written instrument signed by both Parties.
SURVIVAL
The following provisions survive the completion, expiration, or termination of this Agreement: Nature of the Vehicle; Payment Terms and the card authorization; Signer Identity and Authority; Assumption of Risk; Release and Waiver of Liability; Minors; Parent and Guardian Consent; Indemnification; Limitation of Liability; Insurance; Damage; Photo, Video, and Media Consent; Confidentiality; and Dispute Resolution, together with any other provision that by its nature should survive.
ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE; UETA CONSENT; NO RELIANCE
Client consents to transact electronically under the Texas Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Ch. 322) and the federal E-SIGN Act, and agrees that Client's electronic signature is the legal equivalent of a handwritten signature and is intended to authenticate this Agreement. Client acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement Client is not relying on any statement, representation, warranty, or promise that is not expressly set forth in this Agreement.
SIGNER IDENTITY AND AUTHORITY
The individual executing this Agreement (the "Signer") represents and warrants, as of the moment of signing, that one of the following is true, and has so indicated at signing:
(a) Signer is the Client named above and is signing on Signer's own behalf; or
(b) Signer is not the Client and is signing as the Client's duly authorized agent or representative, with the Client's actual authority to enter into this Agreement on the Client's behalf, including specific authority to accept the ASSUMPTION OF RISK, the RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, the INDEMNIFICATION, the DAMAGE; TOTAL LOSS; FULL-VALUE RESPONSIBILITY provisions, the card authorization in PAYMENT TERMS, the PHOTO, VIDEO, AND MEDIA CONSENT, and the jury-trial waiver, each of which Signer has brought to the Client's attention.
Signer's electronic signature, together with Signer's typed name, the identity election recorded at signing, and the date, IP address, and device information Company records at signing, is the act of the Signer for purposes of the Texas Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Ch. 322).
IF SIGNER SIGNS UNDER (b), SIGNER IS PERSONALLY BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY WITH CLIENT AS TO EVERY PAYMENT OBLIGATION OF CLIENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE DEPOSIT, THE REMAINING BALANCE, OVERTIME, THE MEDIA OPT-OUT FEE, AND CLIENT'S FULL-VALUE RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, AND COMPANY MAY PURSUE SIGNER DIRECTLY FOR ANY SUCH AMOUNT WITHOUT FIRST PROCEEDING AGAINST CLIENT.
SIGNER SHALL DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS THE RELEASED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY'S FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY ASSERTION THAT SIGNER LACKED THE AUTHORITY REPRESENTED IN THIS SECTION, OR THAT CLIENT IS NOT BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT BECAUSE SIGNER, RATHER THAN CLIENT, EXECUTED IT.
Nothing in this section limits Company's rights against Client. Client remains fully bound to the extent Signer had authority or Client ratifies this Agreement, including by paying any amount due under it, by directing or permitting the booking to proceed, or by accepting the rickshaw at the Venue. Ratification extends to this Agreement as a whole, and Client may not accept the benefit of the booking while disavowing the obligations that accompany it.
