Terms

Shift is operated by Scripty Solutions LLC("we", "us", "our"). These terms apply when you list a vehicle with us, or join the driver list for rentals when they open.

Submitting the listing form is an expression of interest. It is not a lease, not an offer to lease, and it does not oblige either of us to anything. We may decline any vehicle for any reason, and you are free to withdraw at any point before signing.

If we both want to go ahead you will be asked to sign aseparate written lease agreement. That document is what sets the term, the payment schedule, insurance, maintenance responsibilities, mileage, condition standards, what happens in an accident, and how either side ends it early. None of that is settled by these terms.

To list, you must own the vehicle or be authorized to lease it out, and be at least 18 years old and in the United States.

Our current intended terms are a share of gross rental revenue— what the vehicle actually rents for, with our operating costs on our side of it. There is no fixed term: we ask you to leave the vehicle on the fleet for 90 days on Turnkey or 30 dayson Commercial, after which it continues month to month and you can withdraw it any time on 14 days' notice. Which share applies depends on the tier and the side it rents on:

• Turnkey: 65% of everyday rentals and 70% of gig rentals to you. Scripty Solutions LLC provides commercial insurance covering the vehicle during active rentals, and supplies and installs a hardwired GPS and starter-interrupt unit at no cost to you. That unit must be installed within 30 days of the policy binding.
• Commercial: 85% of everyday rentals and 88% to 90% of gig rentals to you, where you operate under your own commercial auto rental policy naming Scripty Solutions LLC as an Additional Insured and provide a current certificate of insurance. GPS and starter-interrupt requirements are waived. If that cover lapses, the vehicle comes off rental until it is restored.

Which share applies depends on which side the vehicle actually rented on, and is fixed for a rental when that rental is confirmed. A vehicle listed for either side therefore has two rates; wherever we have to show a single figure before a rental exists, we show the lower of the two.

On gig rentals under the Commercial tier the share rises with time already served: 88% to start, then 89% once the vehicle has been on the fleet 6 months, then 90% once the vehicle has been on the fleet 12 months. It is not a term you elect and we do not ask you to promise anything for it — a vehicle that stays reaches it, and a rate already reached is not taken back if the vehicle later comes off and goes back on. The other three combinations are the same however long you stay.

These shares are of gross and not of net operating income; an earlier version of these terms quoted a share of net, and the two are different numbers.

Servicing: we handle it, you fund it. Scripty Solutions LLC tracks the mileage, takes the vehicle to a shop between rentals and gets the work done, so you never arrange it or drop off a key. The parts and labour are your cost, because oil, tyres and brakes are what owning a vehicle consumes and the vehicle is yours.

Those costs are deducted from your payout as separate, itemised lines— they do not reduce your percentage. We may hold a rolling maintenance reserve out of your earnings so a set of tyres does not arrive as one large deduction; any unused balance is returned to you when your vehicle leaves the fleet. You will see each item, its date, the odometer reading and the invoice.

Routine work under $150— oil, filters, wipers, a tyre rotation — we authorise and do. Anything above that we ask you first, except where the vehicle is unsafe or unlawful to rent in its current state, which we may make good immediately and tell you straight away.

Insurance, the telematics unit and its data plan, payment processing and the day-to-day running of the fleet are Scripty Solutions LLC's cost and never touch your share.

Mechanical failure is not covered. Scripty Solutions LLC provides no warranty, repair coverage or mechanical breakdown protection. All powertrain, electrical and mechanical components remain your responsibility. If the vehicle fails during a rental we arrange recovery to an approved repair facility, and the towing, diagnosis and repair are at your cost.

We bear those costs only where an independent diagnostic evaluation confirms the failure resulted directly from prohibited renter misuse or negligence. A vehicle under repair earns nothing for either of us, and we do not charge you for moving a stranded renter onto another vehicle.

If the vehicle is damaged during a rentalon the Turnkey tier, we pursue the renter's deposit first, then the renter, then our policy. Your exposure is a $1,500 deductible per incident and nothing above it, including where the renter cannot be traced. On the Commercial tier the claim goes to your own policy and your own deductible.

If the vehicle is a total loss, it is settled at actual cash value — its open-market value at the moment of loss, not what you paid and not what you owe. Scripty Solutions LLC does not cover any difference between that value and a balance you owe on finance or a lease. If your vehicle is financed, consider gap insurance.

Leaving.You can withdraw your vehicle at any time on 14 days' notice, and we cannot hold it past rentals already confirmed when you give that notice. Withdrawing inside the minimum commitment for your tier carries a fee covering what we have spent and cannot recover — a fixed administrative charge plus the unused balance of that month's insurance and tracking for your vehicle. We show you the arithmetic, and if it comes to more than we actually spent, we charge the lower figure.

On an ordinary listing the vehicle remains yours. You keep the title, we operate it under a lease, and at the end of the term you may end the arrangement and take the vehicle back. Where we pay off a loan the position is different and is set out in section 5.

You choose whether your vehicle is offered to gig and delivery drivers, to everyday renters, or to both. That choice is yours and can be changed.

Those figures are indicative and describe what we intend to offer. They are not a quote, they are not binding until they appear in a signed lease, and the terms for a specific vehicle depend on the vehicle.

We make no representation about what any vehicle will earn.We have no operating history to base one on and we will not invent one.

Every vehicle on the fleet carries a GPS tracking unit and a starter immobilizer. We pay for the hardware and the installation, or reimburse you at cost if you prefer your own installer. You are not charged for it and it is not deducted from your share.

The immobilizer interrupts the starter circuit and nothing else. It prevents the engine being cranked when the vehicle is already parked and switched off. It does not interrupt ignition, it does not interrupt fuel, and it has no effect on a vehicle that is running or in motion. We do not install, and will not install, any device capable of disabling a moving vehicle.

The unit is hardwired. It will be removed without damage to the vehicle when the lease ends, at our cost, and that obligation is written into the partner agreement rather than left to goodwill. The agreement also identifies what is being installed and where, so you know before it happens and not after.

While your vehicle is on the fleet the tracking unit reports its location and basic use data to us. How that information is handled is covered in the Privacy Notice.

Most consumer auto loans prohibit leasing the financed vehicle commercially. Where that is the obstacle we can deal with the loan as part of the arrangement, in one way:

• We pay the balance off, the lien is released, and ownership of the vehicle transfers to us. This is a substantial commitment and goes with a longer minimum term.

Because the vehicle is no longer yours, you cannot end the arrangement and take it back, and no right to do so is implied by your continued possession of it. This is the principal difference between payoff assistance and an ordinary listing, where the vehicle stays yours and you may take it back at the end of the term. If you want to keep title to your vehicle, list it the ordinary way; that option remains available whether or not your vehicle is financed.

We previously also offered to cover the monthly payments while the vehicle was on the fleet. That option has been withdrawn and is no longer available, on any terms. Where an owner was told otherwise before it was withdrawn, what was agreed in writing with that owner still stands.

Submitting the form is not an application and approves nothing. Every case is assessed individually on the vehicle, the area, the balance and the term. We may decline for any reason, and you are free to walk away at any point before signing.

The mechanics of the transfer, what happens if the arrangement ends early, and any terms on which you might later reacquire the vehicle are set out in the written agreement. Nothing is owed by either of us until that is signed. Figures you give on the form are treated as estimates; the binding number is the payoff quote issued by your lender.

We do not ask for your loan account number on the form and you should not send it to us by email. If an arrangement goes ahead we will tell you what the lender needs and how to provide it.

Your loan is between you and your lender until and unless we agree otherwise in writing. Nothing here changes your obligations to them, and you remain responsible for your loan in the meantime.

Courier rentals are not open. The driver list collects interest so we know where to operate, and joining it is not a booking, a reservation, or a promise that a vehicle will be available to you.

The rental pages invite you to "request a car" or to "reserve" one. That request is an entry on this list and nothing more: no vehicle is held for you, no rate is locked, and nothing is charged. A rental exists only once we have confirmed a specific vehicle with you and you have signed a separate rental agreement.

Renting requires a valid driver's license, a minimum age of 21 set by our insurer, a driving record that passes a check, and a separate rental agreement. The 42 dollar daily rate shown on the site is our current intended price and is not a quote.

Please give us information that is true, particularly your ZIP code and the apps you drive for. We are using it to decide where to spend money on vehicles. Submitting deliberately false information, or submitting the form repeatedly with different details, may mean we remove your entry.

By joining the waitlist you agree that we may email you about Shift: your place in line, availability near you, and the status of the pilot.

If you give us a phone number, you agree that we may call or send you text messages about your waitlist entry and about vehicle availability, including messages sent using an automatic telephone dialling system. Giving us a number is optional, and it is not a condition of joining the waitlist or of renting a vehicle. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies and will be low. Reply STOP to any text to stop receiving them, or HELP for help.

You can opt out of email at any time using the unsubscribe link or by emailing us. Opting out of marketing does not remove your waitlist entry; to do that, see section 8.

Email customersupport@shiftcars.app from the address you used and say you want out. We delete your listing and your details. No reason needed.

We may also remove a listing ourselves, or decline a vehicle, at our discretion. See the Privacy Notice for what we hold and for how long.

The Shift site and the waitlist are provided as is. We do not promise that the site will be uninterrupted or error free, that we will launch anywhere in particular, that we will launch at all, or that a vehicle will be available to you.

Joining the waitlist earlier does not guarantee priority, although we do work through areas by demand and we do contact people in an area before we contact anyone outside it.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost income, lost earnings or lost business opportunity, arising from the waitlist, from our not launching in your area, or from your reliance on Shift becoming available.

Because the waitlist is free and no money changes hands, our total liability to you in connection with it is limited to one hundred US dollars.

Some states do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

This section is about the waitlist only. Liability arising from an actual rental will be governed by the rental agreement.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute between you and us arising out of these terms or the waitlist will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Virginia, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

We may update these terms. When we do we will change the date at the top, and if a change materially affects your rights we will email you rather than relying on you to re-read the page. Changes apply going forward.
