You have the obligation to inform AGR staff at the I’Velo Relax Center if you have consumed alcoholic drinks, drugs or any hallucinogenic substances before benefiting from any I’Velo Relax Service. The conclusion of the I’Velo Relax Agreement and / or the opportunity to benefit from an I’Velo Relax Service will be refused if you refuse or omit to communicate such aspects, as well as in the case of any reasonable suspicion with regard to the fact that you are in a state incompatible with cycling.

Also, the conclusion of the I’Velo Relax Agreement and / or the opportunity to benefit from an I’Velo Relax Service will be refused by AGR, if you show, at any time, improper or uncivilized behavior with manifestations of physical or verbal violence against other Users, AGR staff or any other person, in general, as well as in any other well-founded cases.

  • After checks are made regarding your compliance with the above conditions, you will have the right to rent a bike from the fleet available at the time of requesting the I’Velo Relax Service in that center. Renting more bicycles by a single person can only be done exceptionally under the conditions described in Art. 3
  • Failure to comply with any of the conditions set out in (a), and the refusal to provide an identity document or, if applicable, an additional identity document, the existence of any suspicions related to any discrepancy between the data in the identity documents submitted and the factual situation, as well as the submission of invalid identity documents will prevent you from enjoying the I’Velo Relax Service, even if you have the status of I’Velo Relax User at the time of the request.

By way of exception, persons aged under 16 years (considering that people acquire legal capacity to work at the age of 16) and pensioners, benefit from the I’Velo Relax Service without paying the costs given that these categories of people have, in principle, lower incomes. Exemption from payment applies for up to 2 hours of rental per day.

  1. SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR MINORS
  • Minors who have not reached 14 years of age cannot rent a bike in their own name.
  • If you meet the conditions indicated in 2(a) and you are the legal representative of a minor (parent, guardian, etc.) who is under the age of 14, you can benefit from the I’Velo Relax Service free of charge for that minor. You will be fully responsible for the safety of that minor while benefiting from the I’Velo Relax Service.
  • We specifically draw your attention to the fact that, according to the regulations in force, more precisely according to Article 70(2) of the Emergency Ordinance No. 195/2002 concerning the traffic on public roads, minors under the age of 14 are not allowed to ride a bike on public roads; therefore, they are not allowed to cycle outside the perimeter of the park where the rental center is located, wherefrom they take the bike. AGR will under no circumstances be held responsible for any consequence of the use of the bicycle by minors under 14 years of age outside the park.
  • The possibility to benefit from the I’Velo Relax Service under the conditions indicated in Art.3(b) shall be limited to the provision of a maximum of 3 (three) bicycles, one for your own use and 2 (two) for the use of two minors for which you are responsible.
  1. HANDING OVER THE BIKE AND OTHER FORMALITIES. THE CONCLUSION OF THE I’VELO RELAX AGREEMENT AND THE STATUS OF I’VELO RELAX USER
  • AGR will verify, by the staff present at the I’Velo Relax Center concerned, the fulfillment of the conditions so that you can benefit from the I’Velo Relax Service.
  • In the event of fulfillment of all general conditions and, as the case may be, the special conditions for minors, you will be asked about the time interval during which you wish to benefit from the I’Velo Relax Service (for the purpose of determining the amount to be paid in advance). After paying the cost, you will be handed over the tax receipt. In case you are not given the tax receipt, you have the obligation to ask for it.
  • In addition, when you order I’Velo Relax Services for the first time in a season you will be required to certify the acknowledgment and acceptance of the Terms, by accessing the unique link sent to your e-mail address at registration and declaring your acceptance by ticking the appropriate box. Your acceptance will result in the conclusion of the I’Velo Relax Agreement.
  • At the conclusion of the I’Velo Relax Agreement, you will acquire the status of I’Velo Relax User. Given the seasonal nature of cycling in Romania, you will keep the status of I’Velo Relax User throughout the season in which the bike is rented, and for the next season. For the avoidance of doubt, the user status will cease at the end of the season following the season in which you have benefited for the last time from I’Velo Relax Services, in any case not later than [31 November] of the year following the year in which you have benefited from I’Velo Relax Services under this I’Velo Relax Agreement.

  • In case of delayed return of the bicycle, you will have to bear the full costs of renting for the additional interval. Costs shall not apply fractionally. For the sake of clarity, fractions of hours of delay will be regarded as distinct hours.
  • If the bicycle is not returned, you will be liable for damages equivalent to its value, plus any additional costs incurred by AGR for its recovery. For the purpose of this provision, you agree that the value of the bicycle is equivalent to its purchase price. It will be considered that a bicycle is not returned if the delay in return is longer than 24 hours or if the bicycle is not returned until the end of the I’Velo Relax Center’s work program, as it is visibly displayed at the center, whichever comes first.

We specifically draw your attention to the fact that failure to return the bicycle constitutes the offense of breach of trust provided for by Art. 238 of the Criminal Code, punishable by no less than 3 months and no more than 2 years of imprisonment or by a fine. Consequently, if the bicycle is not returned, AGR reserves the right to notify the criminal investigation authorities, so as to take the necessary measures.
