Bike Streets Terms of Service
Welcome to Bike Streets. We want you to know and understand your rights and our rights relating to the provision of the Services (as defined below). Please review them carefully. Here are a few highlights:
The Bike Streets, LLC (“Bike Streets”) website, maps, mobile application (“App”), content, documents, materials, blogs, programs, events and services (collectively, the “Services”) are made available to you by Bike Streets subject to these Terms of Service and the Bike Streets Privacy Policy (collectively the “Terms”). Be sure to review all these documents as they are legally binding contracts which affect you. More information about the Services may be found at bikestreets.com. You agree to comply with these Terms and any Bike Streets policies made available to you on the Services. By accessing, using, uploading or downloading any information or materials to or from the Services, or by indicating your assent to these Terms by CREATING AN ACCOUNT, clicking “Sign up,” “Register,” or any similar mechanism, you are agreeing to these Terms. If you do not agree to the Terms, you cannot access or use the Services.
If you access or use the Services on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind such entity and its affiliates to these Terms and that it is fully binding on them. In such cases, the term “you” will refer to such entity and its affiliates. If you do not have authority, you may not access or use the Services. These Terms contain disclaimers of warranties and limitations on liability that may be applicable to you.
Registration and Accounts
The Services are intended solely for persons who are 18 years old or older. If you are under the legal age to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction, or under the age of 18, do not use the Services.
To use some of the Services, you must register. Where registration is required, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself (“Member Data”) and (b) maintain and promptly update the Member Data. You agree that Bike Streets may use your Member Data to provide Services for which you have expressed interest and as otherwise set forth in these Terms. If you provide any information that is inaccurate or not current, or Bike Streets has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is inaccurate or not current, Bike Streets has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse current or future use of the Services.
You accept sole responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or from your computer and mobile devices. We endeavor to use reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access to your account. We cannot, however, guarantee absolute security of your account, your Content (as defined below) or the personal information you provide, and we cannot promise that our security measures will prevent third-party “hackers” from illegally accessing the Services or its contents. You agree to immediately notify Bike Streets of any breach of security, and to accept all risks of unauthorized access to the Member Data and any other information or content you provide to Bike Streets.
Payments
To pay any fee, you must designate and provide information about your preferred payment method (the “Payment Method”). If you provide your payment information, you authorize us and certain third party service providers, payment card networks and payment processors to receive, store and encrypt your payment information. No refunds or credits will be provided by Bike Streets, other than as set forth in these Terms. If your payment provider determines that there are fraudulent charges on your account resulting from use of your Payment Method at the Services, please contact us immediately via info@bikestreets.com.
Memberships
Bike Streets offers access to the Services (or portions thereof) on an annual subscription basis as part of its membership program (each, a “Membership”). The following terms apply to Memberships:
Your Membership term is annual (each, a “Membership Term”), as described in the offer details while purchasing such Membership. Your Membership will automatically renew for additional terms of equivalent duration, until your Membership is cancelled by you as specified below, or suspended or terminated by Bike Streets. Unless otherwise indicated by Bike Streets, your Payment Method will be charged prior to, or at the beginning of, each Membership Term for the Membership fee plus any applicable taxes and other charges. Before charging you for a Membership Term, Bike Streets will notify you of the applicable fees, and the renewal will occur at the price then in effect for the applicable Services.
You may cancel your Membership at any time by following the instructions in the “Cancellation” Section immediately below.
Cancellation
You may cancel your Membership at any time by emailing us at info@bikestreets.com, or through other termination processes we offer through the Services. Your cancellation will take effect at the end of the then-current Membership Term. When you cancel a Membership, you cancel only future charges for your Membership. You will not receive a refund for the then-current Membership Term you paid for, but you will continue to have full access to that Membership until the end of that Membership Term.
You may request deletion of your personally identifiable information by contacting us at info@bikestreets.com.
Member Content and Conduct
You own the information, data, text, software, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, posts, tags, or other materials you upload or make available to the Services other than Routing Data (defined below) (“Content”), whether publicly posted, privately transmitted, or submitted through a third party API (e.g. a photograph submitted via Instagram).

You acknowledge and agree that your relationship with Bike Streets is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other type of special relationship, and that your decision to submit any Content does not place Bike Streets in a position that is any different from the position held by members of the general public, including regarding your Content.

However, if you do not elect to mark your Content as private or available for a limited group of members, or later change such designation to allow such Content to be made publicly available, you are responsible for the public nature of the content. Please review our Privacy Policy for more information on how to manage your privacy settings.

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and Bike Streets because of the Terms or your use of the Services. The Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Bike Streets with respect to your use of the Services. The failure of Bike Streets to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect. You may not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer your account or your obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Bike Streets. Bike Streets has the right, in its sole discretion, to transfer or assign all or any part of its rights under these Terms and will have the right to delegate or use third party contractors to fulfill its duties and obligations under these Terms and in connection with the Services. Bike Streets’s notice to you via email, regular mail or notices, posts, or links on the Services shall constitute acceptable notice to you under the Terms. A printed version of the Terms and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. Section titles and headings in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

Bike Streets may provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through posting of such notice on our website, as determined by Bike Streets in our sole discretion. Bike Streets reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to our users, if you may opt out of certain means of notification. Bike Streets is not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to email notifications we send to the email address you provide us. Bike Streets may, in its sole discretion, modify or update the Terms from time to time, and so you should review this page periodically. We will notify you in advance of material changes and give you an opportunity to review the updated terms before they go into effect. When we change the Terms, we will update the ‘last modified’ date at the bottom of this page. Your continued use of the Services after any such change goes into effect constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to any of these terms or any future Terms, do not use or access (or continue to access) the Services.
