Terms of Service

Last Updated: October 15, 2020

 

Polaris Industries Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Polaris,” “we,” “our,” and “us”) provide services accessible through Polaris’ websites for use in scheduling RideReady service through a network of independent service providers (“Service Providers”) and accessing RideReady content. These services and RideReady content, collectively, are “RideReady” or the “Services.”

These Terms of Service (“Terms” or “Agreement”) are a Legal Agreement governing your access to and use of the Services and RideReady. Please read them carefully.

 

The term “you,” as used in these Terms, means any person or entity who accesses or uses the Services. These Terms give you specific legal rights, and you may also have other legal rights in addition, which vary by jurisdiction. THE provisions of these Terms regarding Warranty DISCLAIMERS, LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, AND INDEMNIFICATION WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or other rights, so those provisions of these Terms may not apply to you.

 

BY ACCESSING AND USING RIDEREADY, YOU ARE ACCEPTING AND AGREEING TO THESE TERMS. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY, AND CAPACITY TO ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS. YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE OF SUFFICIENT LEGAL AGE IN YOUR JURISDICTION OR RESIDENCE TO USE OR ACCESS RIDEREADY AND TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS, YOU SHOULD CEASE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES.

 

PRIVACY

By using RideReady, you understand and agree to the processing of your personal information in accordance with the Polaris Privacy Policy. You also understand and agree that (i) we will provide your personal information to the Service Providers who provide service scheduled through RideReady. These Terms and the Polaris Privacy Policy do not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices of those Service Providers.

 

INDEPENDENT SERVICE PROVIDERS

You agree that should you use or rely on such services, content, data, advertising, or goods, available or unavailable from, or through any Service Provider, Polaris is not responsible or liable, indirectly or directly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with such use or reliance. Your dealings with, or participation in promotions of any Service Provider, and any other terms, conditions, representations or warranties associated with such dealings, are between you and such Service Provider exclusively and do not involve Polaris. You should make whatever investigation or other resources that you deem necessary or appropriate before hiring or engaging Service Providers.

 

You agree that Polaris is not responsible for the accessibility or unavailability of any Service Provider or for your interactions and dealings with them, waive the right to bring or assert any claim against Polaris relating to any interactions or dealings with any Service Provider and release Polaris from any and all liability for or relating to any interactions or dealings with Service Providers. In addition, you understand and agree that Polaris may exclude Service Providers from displaying in search results in the Services or RideReady for failing to meet particular Polaris standards regarding Service Provider conduct or performance. In addition, you understand that Polaris may exclude Service Providers from displaying in search results.

 

Polaris may, in its sole discretion, have criminal and/or financial background checks conducted on certain Service Providers. By having such background checks conducted, POLARIS DOES NOT WAIVE ANY OF ITS DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES OR LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.
