Anyone operating the Motorcycle as permitted by this Agreement will be protected against liability for causing bodily injury or death to others or damaging the property or someone other than the operator and/or the Renter up to the minimum financial responsibility limits required by applicable law. The limit for bodily injury sustained by any one person includes any claim for loss of that person�s consortium or services. Where the law extends coverage to a non-permitted operator, the same limits will apply. THE FOREGOING COVERAGE PROVIDED BY YOU WILL BE EXCESS OVER ANY APPLICABLE INSURANCE AVIALABLE TO ME OR ANY OTHER OPERATOR, FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE, WHETHER PRIMARY, EXCESS, SECONDARY OR CONTINGENT IN ANY WAY. Otherwise, such coverage is provided according to the terms, and subject to all the conditions and exclusions, of a standard Motorcycle liability insurance policy, including all requirements as to notice and cooperation on my part, which are made a part of this Agreement. You can provide coverage under a certificate of self-insurance or an insurance policy, or both, as you choose. In any case, a copy of the policy and/or certificate will be available for my inspection at your main office. I understand that unless required by applicable law, you will not provide (i) coverage for fines, penalties, punitive or exemplary damages; (ii) coverage for bodily injury to, or death of, myself while not an operator, or any member of the family or the operator�s family, (iii) defense against any claim after applicable limits of coverage that you furnish have been tendered; or (iv) supplementary no fault, non-compulsory uninsured or uninsured motorist coverage, and any other optional or rejectable coverage, and you and I reject all such coverage�s to the extent permitted by law. Where any of this coverage�s are required or implied by law, the limits will be the minimum required under applicable statute. If I am charged with a criminal offence, including, but not limited to, driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance while renting the Motorcycle, or if the Motorcycle is issued to transport contraband or for illegal trade, or if the Motorcycle is damaged while it is being operated by anyone under 21 years of age or not properly licensed, or if I fail to furnish you with a police report from the scene of any accident involving the Motorcycle or its theft, or if I fail to maintain all fluid levels or fail to use the specified fuel, or otherwise fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, I will not be covered by your liability insurance and I will be liable to you and all third parties for any and all claims and damages. I understand that passengers are not covered by personal injury under your liability insurance and therefore ride at their own risk. I acknowledge responsibility for any passengers I carry on the Motorcycle.
- INDEMNIFICATION
I agree to indemnify you for any loss, liability and expense that you incur arising out of (i) the use of the Motorcycle (but only to the extent such loss, liability and expense exceeds the greater of your statutory liability as an owner or the limits of any liability insurance that you furnish to me) or (ii) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation made by me in this Agreement or the Motorcycle Rental Release.
