A third party is not released from responsibility for its own separate products, services, events, premises, representations, legal obligations, or independent misconduct merely because it appears on the Website.

These Terms apply only to the public Know Your Ride Website and website-based materials that link to these Terms.

Separate programs, events, research activities, contracts, releases, surveys, or services may be subject to additional terms, notices, permissions, or agreements.

If specific terms apply to a particular activity, those specific terms control for that activity to the extent they conflict with these general Terms.

No communication with Know Your Ride creates an attorney-client, physician-patient, therapist-patient, mechanic-customer, engineer-client, insurer-insured, fiduciary, advisory, consulting, supervisory, or other professional relationship.

Questions requiring professional judgment should be directed to a qualified professional authorized to provide that service.

Nothing on the Website constitutes an official interpretation, determination, approval, authorization, certification, ruling, citation, exemption, or enforcement decision.

A user may not present Website Content as an official statement issued by a government authority, school, law-enforcement agency, manufacturer, standards body, or other third party.

You are solely responsible for determining whether Website Content is accurate, current, complete, relevant, and appropriate for your circumstances.

Before making a riding, purchasing, charging, maintenance, supervision, route, school, equipment, or legal-compliance decision, you must independently verify relevant information through sources such as:

• the physical vehicle and its label;

• law enforcement;
• a school or school district;
• a park, trail, or property operator;
• a transportation authority;
• an insurer;
• a qualified attorney; and
• any other authority applicable to the specific activity.

You must not rely exclusively on the Website when making a decision that may affect health, safety, legal compliance, property, insurance, education, or another person.

Laws, regulations, ordinances, policies, product specifications, manufacturer statements, school rules, park rules, trail rules, property restrictions, rebate programs, and safety guidance may change without notice.

Rules may also vary according to:

A Website summary may become outdated, may omit an exception, or may not apply to your circumstances.

Know Your Ride has no obligation to monitor every legal, regulatory, manufacturer, or policy change or to update Content immediately after a change occurs.

The Website is not an emergency service, emergency-reporting system, crisis line, law-enforcement reporting portal, school reporting system, insurance reporting system, or incident-investigation service.

• an emergency;
• a crash requiring immediate help;
• a serious injury;
• a battery fire;
• an active threat;
• abuse;

Know Your Ride does not guarantee that any message will be read, reviewed, forwarded, investigated, or answered within a particular period.

You voluntarily accept responsibility for your decisions and for the foreseeable and unforeseeable consequences of those decisions, except to the extent applicable law provides otherwise.

The Website includes information relevant to students and younger riders.

Children under 13 must not directly submit personal information through the Website.

A user under 18 should use the Website with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian.

Parents and legal guardians remain responsible for decisions involving minors, including:

• whether the minor may ride;
• which vehicle may be used;
• whether the vehicle is appropriate;
• helmet and equipment use;
• rider training;
• route selection;
• speed expectations;
• passenger rules;
• charging;
• maintenance;
• supervision;
• school compliance;
• check-in expectations; and
• emergency planning.

No Website assessment, checklist, classification, result, or guide establishes that a minor is mature, trained, legally eligible, properly supervised, or ready to ride independently.

Know Your Ride does not assume custody, control, supervision, or responsibility for any minor.

The Website may provide Bike Check and other interactive educational tools.

These tools process user-selected answers through preset educational logic and display an informational result.

Results depend on the information entered and may be incomplete or incorrect if:

• the user provides inaccurate information;
• the user misunderstands a question;
• product information is unavailable;
• the manufacturer’s description is incomplete;
• the vehicle has been modified;
• a setting has been changed;
• software has changed vehicle behavior;
• labels are absent, altered, incorrect, or counterfeit;
• the model has multiple configurations;
• the tool does not ask about a legally relevant fact;
• the vehicle performs differently from its description; or
• an applicable law or policy has changed.

A result is not:

• an official vehicle classification;
• a legal opinion;
• a certification of compliance;
• a safety certification;
• a mechanical inspection;
• an electrical inspection;
• a product approval;
• authorization to ride;
• school approval;
• trail approval;
• insurance approval;
• evidence of rider competence; or
• a guarantee of safety or legality.

Users must independently confirm all relevant information before acting on a result.

Vehicle classification can depend on multiple facts, including design, functionality, speed, motor output, throttle behavior, pedal operation, software settings, and applicable law.

Marketing names, product appearance, seller statements, and user descriptions may not accurately establish legal classification.

Terms such as “bike,” “e-bike,” “electric bike,” “electric motorcycle,” “e-moto,” “low assist,” “class,” “off-road,” “race mode,” “sport mode,” or similar labels may be used differently by manufacturers, sellers, users, and government authorities.

Know Your Ride does not physically inspect vehicles and cannot determine whether:

• a label is accurate;
• pedals are functional;
• a motor has been replaced;
• a controller has been altered;
• speed limitations have been removed;
• a throttle has been added or changed;
• software settings have been modified;
• a vehicle complies with law; or
• a particular vehicle matches an online product listing.

The person controlling, purchasing, maintaining, modifying, supervising, or operating a vehicle is responsible for verifying its actual condition and legal status.

The Website may contain a Bike Catalog, database, comparison, model listing, manufacturer description, image, source link, or other product information.

Know Your Ride does not manufacture, design, import, distribute, sell, assemble, inspect, certify, approve, warrant, service, repair, recall, or insure listed products.

Product information may differ according to model year, configuration, region, seller, software version, battery, motor, controller, optional accessory, or later modification.

Inclusion in the Website does not mean that Know Your Ride has:

• tested the product;
• verified every specification;
• confirmed legal classification;
• confirmed compliance with safety standards;
• approved it for minors;
• approved it for school use;
• approved it for any route;
• determined that it is free from defects; or
• endorsed the manufacturer or seller.

The absence of a product does not mean the product is unlawful, unsafe, defective, unsuitable, or disfavored.

Users must verify product information directly through the physical product, manufacturer, qualified professionals, and applicable official sources.

The Website may identify or link to laws, local rules, school policies, routes, parks, trails, roads, paths, maps, transportation resources, or other place-based information.

This information is not permission to enter, ride, park, charge, or operate a vehicle at any location.

Conditions may change because of:

• construction;
• closures;
• weather;
• traffic;
• school operations;
• property restrictions;
• emergencies;
• events;
• trail damage;
• enforcement decisions;
• temporary rules; or
• other circumstances.

Know Your Ride does not inspect routes or monitor current physical conditions.

No route, map, local-source page, or location reference is a representation that a location is open, accessible, lawful, suitable, well-maintained, supervised, or safe.

Users are responsible for checking current conditions and obtaining all required permissions.

Website Content concerning helmets, brakes, lights, tires, locks, visibility, fit, maintenance, or equipment is general educational information.

It does not substitute for:

• manufacturer instructions;
• a professional fitting;
• a qualified mechanical inspection;
• repair;
• maintenance;
• product replacement;
• safety training; or
• a recall check.

Know Your Ride does not guarantee that any helmet, lock, light, brake, tire, charger, battery, protective product, or other equipment will prevent injury, theft, fire, or loss.

A checklist cannot identify every defect, hidden condition, installation error, counterfeit product, worn component, or compatibility issue.

The owner, adult supervisor, and rider are responsible for confirming that the vehicle and all equipment are properly selected, fitted, installed, maintained, and used.

Lithium-ion batteries, electrical systems, chargers, outlets, extension cords, and related equipment may present risks of fire, explosion, burns, toxic exposure, electrical shock, property damage, serious injury, or death.

Website Content concerning battery or charging practices is educational only.

Know Your Ride does not:

• inspect batteries;
• inspect chargers;
• inspect electrical systems;
• confirm compatibility;
• approve repair methods;
• identify hidden damage;
• conduct fire-risk assessments;

Users must follow manufacturer instructions, applicable fire codes, product recalls, qualified professional advice, and emergency-authority instructions.

Do not charge, store, use, repair, open, modify, or dispose of a battery based solely on Website Content.

Know Your Ride and the Protected Parties are not responsible for fire, electrical, battery, charging, storage, repair, disposal, or property-related harm resulting from user decisions or third-party products, except to the extent liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

A retailer, manufacturer, government program, or other third party may change its products, prices, conditions, eligibility rules, or terms without notice.

Unless expressly disclosed, a reference to a product, manufacturer, seller, rebate, or service is not a paid endorsement.

Users are responsible for conducting their own research and reviewing all applicable transaction terms.

Parent Readiness assessments, family agreements, checklists, conversation guides, scores, summaries, and related materials are educational discussion tools.

They are not:

• medical evaluations;
• psychological assessments;
• legal evaluations;
• professional risk assessments;
• licensing examinations;
• rider certifications;
• parenting evaluations;
• school approvals; or
• guarantees of readiness.

A score, category, recommendation, or completed checklist does not establish that:

• a rider is safe;
• a rider is unsafe;
• a parent has satisfied a legal duty;
• a parent has failed a legal duty;
• a vehicle is lawful;
• a family is prepared for every situation;
• a school must allow the vehicle;
• independent riding is appropriate; or
• injury or misconduct will not occur.

Parents and guardians remain responsible for all decisions concerning minors.

The Website may provide materials for schools, school districts, PTAs, educators, youth programs, nonprofit organizations, public agencies, or community groups.

Unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise, the materials are optional educational resources.

Use or distribution of the materials does not:

• create a partnership;
• create an agency relationship;
• transfer supervisory duties;
• transfer legal compliance duties;
• establish school approval;
• establish district approval;
• establish government approval;
• establish that materials satisfy local policy;
• make Know Your Ride responsible for implementation; or

Organizations using Website Content are responsible for their own legal review, accessibility review, policy review, staff training, supervision, distribution decisions, and communications.

Materials must not be presented as an official school, government, or law-enforcement requirement unless the applicable authority has independently adopted them.

The Website may present pilot findings, survey summaries, assessments, educational observations, reports, or program-evaluation materials.

Unless a specific notice expressly states otherwise:

• participation is voluntary;
• the work is educational or program-development activity;
• findings may be based on limited or self-selected participants;
• findings may not represent the general population;
• results may not have undergone peer review;
• results are not diagnostic;
• results are not predictive;
• correlation does not establish causation;
• a sample may be too small for broad conclusions; and
• future findings may differ.

Research or pilot Content does not constitute medical, psychological, epidemiological, legal, engineering, or public-policy advice.

Users must review the methodology, sample, date, limitations, and stated scope before relying on any finding.

Know Your Ride and the Protected Parties are not responsible for decisions made by a person or organization that overstates, misquotes, misapplies, or relies beyond the stated limits of research or pilot Content.

The Website may include community stories, interviews, quotations, event recaps, photographs, videos, and perspectives from individuals or organizations.

Statements made by an interview participant or featured person are that speaker’s statements and do not necessarily represent the views of:

• Know Your Ride;
• Care Forward Foundation;
• the speaker’s employer;
• a school;
• a government agency;
• a partner;
• a sponsor; or
• any other featured entity.

Titles and affiliations are provided for context and may later change.

A person’s appearance does not establish endorsement, sponsorship, approval, continuing involvement, or agreement with every Website statement.

Know Your Ride may edit media for length, clarity, accessibility, presentation, or formatting while seeking to preserve its intended meaning.

The Website may link to or display content operated by third parties, including government agencies, schools, manufacturers, retailers, video platforms, social-media platforms, maps, form providers, nonprofit organizations, and other resources.

Third-party services are independently controlled and may have separate:

• terms;
• privacy policies;
• security practices;
• cookies;
• tracking technologies;
• accessibility practices;
• advertising;
• account requirements; and
• content standards.

Know Your Ride does not control or guarantee the accuracy, legality, availability, accessibility, privacy, security, completeness, or timeliness of third-party services.

A link or embed is provided for convenience or education and does not itself constitute endorsement, approval, sponsorship, or partnership.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Know Your Ride and the Protected Parties are not responsible for harm arising from a user’s interaction with an independent third party.

A city, county, school, school district, police department, public agency, nonprofit organization, business, manufacturer, retailer, funder, sponsor, interview participant, or other entity may be referenced, quoted, thanked, linked, listed, or featured on the Website.

Unless an authorized written agreement expressly states otherwise, this does not mean that the entity:

• reviewed every Website page;
• verified every statement;
• approved every tool result;
• supervises users;
• assumes responsibility for user decisions;
• guarantees Website accuracy;
• endorses all Website Content; or
• has entered into a legal partnership with Know Your Ride.

No referenced or featured entity is responsible for harm arising solely from a person’s use of or reliance on Know Your Ride Content.

This protection does not excuse a third party from responsibility for its own independent acts, products, services, premises, events, statements, or legal obligations.

Nothing on the Website creates:

• an agency relationship;
• a joint venture;
• a partnership;
• a franchise;
• a fiduciary relationship;
