Rental Agreement & Liability Waiver
Updated October 18, 2026
Agreement for your party
By accepting at checkout, I confirm that I have read this agreement, will communicate these requirements to everyone in my party, and will ensure that each participant complies. I am an adult authorized to make the booking. Each adult participant must personally acknowledge the agreement at pickup; a parent or legal guardian must sign for a minor. My booking acceptance does not replace another adult’s personal consent.
Assumption of risk
Paddle boarding and cycling involve inherent risks, including drowning, falling, collisions, traffic, uneven trails, changing weather, strong currents, high river flows, submerged obstacles, equipment failure, injury, property damage and death. I understand these risks, choose to participate voluntarily, and accept the inherent risks to the extent permitted by law. I will assess my abilities and follow staff instructions and applicable laws.
Water safety
A properly fitted personal flotation device (PFD) must be worn at all times on the water. All paddle board renters and participants must be able to swim. Do not enter unsafe water or participate while impaired by alcohol or drugs. Follow staff guidance about permitted launch areas and river conditions.
Cycling safety
Use the provided helmet, inspect the bike before riding, obey traffic and trail rules, stay alert to other trail users, and ride within your ability. Report unsafe or damaged equipment before use.
Minors
Minors must be accompanied throughout the rental by a signing adult. A parent or legal guardian must provide the minor’s required permission and acknowledgment at pickup. The accompanying adult is responsible for supervision and compliance with safety requirements.
Lost or damaged gear
The renter is responsible for returning all rented equipment and included safety gear on time and in the condition received, allowing for normal wear. The renter is responsible for reasonable repair or replacement costs for lost, stolen or damaged gear beyond normal wear. Notify us promptly of loss, damage or an incident.
Liability acknowledgment
To the fullest extent permitted by California law, I release River City Paddle Board and Bike Rental from claims arising from the inherent risks and ordinary negligence associated with my voluntary participation. This agreement does not waive claims that cannot lawfully be waived, including gross negligence or intentional misconduct. It does not limit statutory consumer rights.
Payment and date changes
The Rental & Cancellation Policy governs payment, date changes, weather or river closures, and refunds if we cancel.
