The MSU Bikes Service Center (BSC) agrees to lease a MSU Green Bike (bike) to: (person completing this online application referred to as 'User' herein)

User agrees to pick up a bike from the BSC and return the bike to the BSC at the end of the one year term. User understands the fees as outlined on this page and a refundable deposit (also noted on this page) are required for a bike leased to defray the costs of the lock provided with the bike and any necessary maintenance. Deposits are not required for bikes leased for MSU departments or offices.

The User will be presented with a bike in sound working order and a lock. BSC strongly recommends the use of a helmet (we occasionally have free ones and also some for sale). User assumes responsibility for the bike and agrees to lock the bike securely and properly per MSU regulations to prevent theft and impoundment by MSU DPPS during the lease period. User agrees to notify the BSC if the bike (or a part) is stolen, damaged, or in need of adjustments or repair and to bring the bike to the BSC workshop for any repairs. BSC will attempt to have bike repairs completed within 7 working days of receiving the bike from the User. Pickup of a disabled bike can be arranged if necessary.

It is expressly agreed that the use and/or operation of any bike from the BSC is at the User's sole risk and User assumes any and all risk from the use and/or operation of any bike from the BSC. The BSC strongly recommends the use of a helmet by the User when riding the bike being leased. It is further expressly agreed that the BSC staff, advisory committee and officers, representatives, employees, or students, shall not be liable for any claims, demands, injuries, damages, actions or causes of action whatsoever to the User or any other person arising out of or connected with the use and/or operation of any bike from the BSC. The User hereby expressly forever releases the BSC and Michigan State University from any and all claims, demands, injuries, or actions.

I have read the foregoing Exculpatory Agreement and Release, and by completing this online application acknowledge that I understand and agree to its terms.
