Additional descriptions of the services provided by Beepz are attached to this Agreement as “Exhibit A.” Collectively, these are Beepz’s “Services.” These Terms and Conditions and description of Services may be altered or modified by Beepz at any time for future Transactions or upon Beepz’s written approval of any Party’s request.

Beepz will use its best efforts to maintain a wide selection of vehicles on the App but cannot guarantee that all Vehicles listed on the App will be available at all times. The Vehicles listed are subject to availability in your area. It may be impossible to consummate a Transaction, in whole or in part, due to vehicle availability. If this is the case, we will promptly advise you, and we will cancel all portions of the Transaction when a Vehicle is unavailable.
Users may receive notices regarding Beepz’ Services and/or their Transaction. Beepz sends such notices by email or via a notification on the App. Each User and Party to any Transaction is responsible for providing their current and valid email address. If the email address provided is invalid, any notice Beepz sends to that email address will nonetheless be deemed effective per this Agreement.

The links to third-party websites or applications via the Beepz App are for information and reference purposes only.

In the event that another business or individual approaches any Party to perform the Services or any similar services relating to the Vehicle, whether directly or indirectly, the Party shall immediately provide Beepz with all pertinent details of any such approach.
Beepz shall perform the Services under this Agreement using commercially reasonable standards.

Anti-Tampering Clause
Tampering with the Magicswitch
Any unauthorized interference, alteration, or tampering with the Magicswitch/ killswitch device is strictly prohibited. Engaging in such actions will be considered a felony under applicable laws. Beepz reserves the right to press charges immediately against any individual or entity that violates this provision. Sellers, Buyers, and any third parties are hereby put on notice of this policy and the serious consequences of any violation.
REFERRAL PROGRAM
All Registered Users are automatically enrolled in the referral program for bringing sellers to Beepz. This program provides a reward of $1,500 per referred seller, plus $100 for each vehicle that the referred seller lists on the platform. Both the $1,500 seller referral reward and the $100 per vehicle reward will be paid to the referrer upon receipt of the second weekly payment made by the lessee.
This referral program, including the reward amounts of $1,500 and $100, may be modified or canceled at any time at Beepz’s sole discretion without prior notice. In cases of fraud or misconduct by a referrer, all ongoing and active referrals associated with that referrer will be immediately terminated, and no further rewards will be payable.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS BY THE LIENHOLDER
The Lienholder may not cancel any Lease Agreement except within forty-eight (48) hours after signing the Lease. If the Lienholder cancels a Lease within forty-eight (48) hours after signing the Lease Agreement, the Lienholder shall pay the penalty in the amount of twenty-five dollars ($ 25.00).
The Lienholder may not cancel the Lease Agreement after the Vehicle registration is transferred to the Lessee by the Department of Motor Vehicles. The Lease Agreement may not be canceled by the Lienholder after the Parties’ initial meeting at the vehicle registration office.
The Lienholder acknowledges that under the terms of the Lease, the Lessee is permitted to drive the Vehicle for up to 3,600 miles per month during the Lease Term. Should the Lessee exceed this mileage cap, Beepz reserves the right to adjust the weekly payment amount.
Before any payment augmentation is implemented, Beepz will communicate the proposed new payment amount to the Lessee. The Lessee will then have the option to either accept the adjusted payment amount or terminate the Lease by returning the Vehicle to its Lienholder, pursuant to the Terms of this Agreement.
This policy ensures that vehicle usage remains within the agreed terms, providing the Lessee to provide a fair compensation to the Lienholder for additional wear and tear on the Vehicle. However, Beepz shall not be held responsible or liable to compensate the Lienholder for any depreciation, damage, or loss in vehicle value resulting from the Lessee exceeding the authorized mileage. This includes, without limitation:
- Increased wear and tear on the vehicle;
- Reduction in resale or trade-in value;
- Diminished marketability due to excessive mileage.
The Lienholder agrees that no claim shall be made against Beepz in relation to any mileage overages, and Beepz shall not reimburse or provide any form of mileage-related adjustment, refund, or credit.
The Seller acknowledges and understands that upon completion of the transaction facilitated by Beepz, they will be added as a lien holder on the Buyer's insurance policy. As the lien holder, the Seller may possess certain rights to be compensated first in the event of an insurance claim, as per the insurance policy's terms and conditions. The Seller agrees to familiarize themselves with the implications and responsibilities associated with this status and to act in accordance with all relevant laws and regulations.
Lienholder Insurance Responsibility and Waiver of Liability:
The Lienholder acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for monitoring and ensuring that the Lessee maintains valid and active vehicle insurance coverage at all times. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Promptly notifying Beepz in writing of any insurance cancellation notices received by mail or any other means;
- Actively requesting and collecting periodic proof of valid insurance from the Lessee to ensure compliance.
Beepz agrees to perform a good-faith insurance verification on a monthly basis. However, Beepz shall not be held liable under any circumstance for any failure by the Lessee to maintain valid insurance, for any lapse in coverage, or for any damages, liabilities, or losses arising from an uninsured or underinsured event.
The Lienholder expressly waives any and all rights to pursue or demand reimbursement, compensation, or claims against Beepz in the event:
- The Lessee’s insurance is canceled or lapses;
- The Lessee fails to secure or maintain the required coverage;
- An insurance claim is denied, delayed, or only partially paid;
- Any incident, accident, or damage occurs while the vehicle is uninsured or underinsured.
In no event shall Beepz be responsible for covering any damages, losses, or liabilities related to vehicle insurance, regardless of the cause or circumstances. The Lienholder accepts full responsibility and risk in such cases and agrees to hold Beepz harmless from any related consequences or claims.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS BY THE LESSEE AND THE LIENHOLDER
The Lessee agrees to inspect all Vehicles to the Lessee’s full satisfaction, including the Vehicle history and condition. Lienholder agrees to have a Smog Check conducted on every Vehicle in advance of Lessee’s inspection.
The Lessee acknowledges that all Vehicles shall be equipped with a Kill Switch Device (“Killswitch”) along with tools allowing Beepz and/or the Lienholder to locate the Vehicle at all times using geolocation services.
The Lienholder shall pay the cost to purchase and install a Killswitch in the Vehicle. The Parties acknowledge that installation of the Killswitch may require modifications to the Vehicle’s original electrical wiring and other possible changes. The Lienholder agrees to allow all modifications necessary to install the Killswitch within the Vehicle.
Lessee agrees to allow Beepz or the Lienholder to use geolocation services to locate the Vehicle and to use the Killswitch to shut down the Vehicle immediately in case of non-payment or default by the Lessee, as further specified herein. In the event that the Lessee becomes unable to open a claim or is unresponsive, the Lessee hereby authorizes Beepz or the Lienholder, at their discretion, to open a claim on their behalf related to any issues or incidents concerning the Vehicle.
This authorization grants Beepz or the Lienholder the authority to take necessary actions to address and resolve any issues, including but not limited to initiating insurance claims, coordinating repairs, or seeking assistance from relevant authorities.
The Lessee acknowledges that such actions are taken in their best interest and agrees to cooperate fully with Beepz or the Lienholder in the resolution process.
The Lessee understands and agrees that Beepz reserves the right to take the lessee’s name off the car registration in case of non-communication, removal of the MagicSwitch device from the car, or if the buyer stops making payments for the vehicle. In such cases, the vehicle will be reported as stolen, and the Lessee's information will be provided to the police
OBLIGATIONS REGARDING THE MAGICSWITCH
Lessees acknowledge that the Magicswitch shall remain in the Vehicle until the end of the Term of the Lease and after full payment of the Purchase Price by the Lessee. At that time, the magic switch will be deactivated. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Lessee agrees to pay Beepz a fixed fee to have the Magicswitch removed from the vehicle or to leave the Magicswitch in the Vehicle for no additional fee.
If the Lessee removes the Magicswitch from the vehicle prior to the full payment of the Lease and final Purchase Price, the Lessee is in default of this Agreement; Beepz will be immediately alerted and shall take any necessary measures to repossess the Vehicle. If the Lessee removes the Magicswitch, Beepz will consider the action as tampering with the vehicle's security system. This will be interpreted as an act of unauthorized access or control over the Vehicle.
Beepz reserves the right to report the vehicle as stolen to the appropriate authorities if the Magicswitch is removed without prior authorization. Such action will be treated as a violation of the terms of this Agreement and may result in legal action being taken against the Lessee.
TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN LIENHOLDER AND LESSEES
Lessee and Lienholder will agree on the Vehicle and the Purchase Price and shall enter into a Lease Agreement indicating the price, the Vehicle, the payment terms, the duration of the Lease, and any other specific terms. The terms will be entered into the Beepz App, and those terms become part of the Lease Agreement.
PAYMENT & COMPENSATION
Payment Information Provided by Lessee
The Lessee agrees to honor all charges and fees in connection with this Agreement, the Lease, the Purchase Price, the Services, and the Vehicle. To enter into the Lease and to purchase Beepz’ Services, the Lessee shall provide current, accurate, and valid Payment Information. The Lessee acknowledges and agrees that the Lessee’s Payment Information shall remain on file to cover all recurring and future payments. Lessee shall notify Beepz immediately of any changes to the Payment Information or if Lessee suspects that the Payment Information has been compromised by a data breach or unauthorized use.
The Lessee represents and warrants that the Lessee is authorized to use the Payment Information provided. If Lessee’s Payment Information is invalid or if payment is declined for any reason, Beepz may cancel the Lease, terminate the Transaction, and/or refuse to provide Services.
Lease Payments
Lessee agrees to make Lease payments weekly during the Term of the Lease. All payments are final, with no refunds or reimbursements available unless Beepz authorizes a refund for a particular and exceptional situation. Payments toward a specific Transaction do not entitle the Lessee to any alternate Transaction or any type of exchange.
At any time, the Lessee may request to modify the amount of the weekly lease payments. The Lienholder has no obligation to agree to the modification of payment terms. If the Lienholder agrees to modify the amount of the weekly payments, then the length of the Lease and the final Purchase Price will be adjusted accordingly. The weekly payment amount may only be modified one time during the Term of the Lease.
The final weekly Lease payment includes the option for the Lessee to purchase the Vehicle for a Purchase Price of One (1) Dollar. The final weekly payment also includes Beepz’s fees and any fees payable to the Department of Motor Vehicles for the transfer of title. When Lessee makes the final weekly payment in full, the Lienholder shall transfer ownership of the Vehicle to Lessee.
Commissions and Service Fees
The Parties acknowledge that Beepz is entitled to commissions and fees for Services under this Agreement. The percentage of service fees, commissions, and other fees payable to Beepz is detailed in “Exhibit B” of this Agreement. Service fees and commissions charged by Beepz may change at any time for future Transactions. Users shall be notified in writing of any future changes to Beepz fees or fee structure.
In the event that a Lease Agreement is canceled or terminated by either Party, any fees charged by Beepz, and all payment processing fees, shall be final and nonrefundable.
Initial Startup Fee for Vehicles
Pursuant to the terms of Exhibit B, the Lessee shall pay a Startup Fee of $549 (the “Fee”). This Fee is a flat, non-refundable amount and is not considered a deposit. The Fee is final and non-refundable, regardless of whether the Transaction is completed or canceled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If the Lessee breaches this Agreement or fails to complete the Transaction without paying the Lease payments on time and the Purchase Price in full, the Fee shall not be returned.
If the Vehicle is repossessed by the Lienholder or by Beepz, the Fee shall not be applied toward the payment of repossession fees and costs. The Startup Fee made by the Lessee is a separate, non-refundable charge and shall not be deducted from any money owed to Beepz or the Seller under this Agreement.
Payment Processor
Users acknowledge that all payments shall be handled through Stripe, Beepz’s third-party payment processor. To ensure Beepz is able to receive and remit payments as applicable and as needed, Users will need to hold a proper and current Stripe account. Users agree and acknowledge that Beepz is not under any obligation to process a Transaction or pay Users who do not possess a valid Stripe account. As a condition to partake in any Transaction, each User authorizes Beepz to create a “Stripe Account” on the User’s behalf and authorizes Beepz to initiate payments, debits, and credits from the Stripe Account to facilitate the Transaction. The Parties acknowledge that their Stripe account will be subject to the terms, conditions, and specifications set forth by Stripe, which are available for review on Stripe’s website. Beepz is not otherwise affiliated with Stripe. Users agree and acknowledge that Beepz shall not be responsible for any issues, liabilities, claims, actions, proceedings, investigations, or lawsuits in connection with their Stripe Account.
Users are responsible for ensuring their Stripe account holds sufficient and available funds to honor payments due to Beepz or relating to any Transaction. The Parties to any Transaction authorize Beepz to initiate electronic debit or credit entries in their Stripe accounts without requiring any further consent. Beepz shall comply with the terms of all Transactions with respect to amounts withdrawn, the withdrawal dates, and the frequency of withdrawals.
Users agree to promptly advise Beepz in writing of any possible compromise to their Stripe account. This will allow Beepz to update the account information and prevent unauthorized transactions. If Users do not advise Beepz of any issues involving their Stripe account, the account will be deemed valid and current, and Beepz will not be responsible for any payments issued or withheld in connection with that Stripe account.
Each Party to any Transaction explicitly confirms having read and understood this Agreement and authorizes Beepz to withdraw and deposit funds in their Stripe in accordance with the terms of their Transaction.
Taxes and Fees
The Lessee is responsible for payment of all applicable sales taxes and vehicle registration fees related to the Transaction. The Lessee agrees to pay such taxes and fees to Beepz, who shall transmit the tax and fee amount to the relevant authorities located in the Lessee’s state of residence.
Payment Plan Options
The Lessee may modify the Payment Plan at any time by choosing one of the following options:
Cash Boost:
The Lessee may choose the “Cash Boost” payment option to make future Lease payments in advance, thereby reducing the number of weekly payments. This option allows the Lessee to shorten the time before which the final Purchase Price is paid.
Week Pass:
The Lessee may choose the “Week Pass” payment option to delay a weekly payment under the Payment Plan. The Week Pass option may not be used for the first time until week four (4) when the fourth weekly lease payment is due. The Week Pass option may not be used more than three (3) times during the term of the Lease and may not be used in any two (2) consecutive weeks. The Lessee shall pay an administrative fee of sixty dollars ($ 60.00) each time the Week Pass option is used.
If the Lessee uses the Week Pass option three (3) times and is unable to pay for the Vehicle, the Lessee must return the Vehicle to the address designated by the Lienholder. The Lessee is responsible for cleaning the Vehicle prior to its return. The Vehicle must be returned to the Lienholder in the same condition as when originally transferred to the Lessee. If the Lessee fails to return the Vehicle in the condition specified in this Agreement, the Lessee forfeits the initial Deposit and is subject to fees and costs as specified in this Agreement.
Payment Due Date and Grace Period
Beepz payments must be made punctually every week on the designated due date. However, Beepz allows for a 24-hour grace period following the due date. This grace period will be visibly indicated with a countdown, which will reach zero at midnight. If the Lessee allows the countdown to reach zero, the vehicle will automatically enter the repossession process.To reinstate the account, the Lessee must make a payment before the repossession process is initiated. A reinstatement fee of $10 per late day will apply.
The Lessee has the option to request an extension of the grace period directly from the App messenger chat to the designated Seller for emergencies. It is important to note that the Seller is not obligated to agree to the extension request. During the countdown period, the Lessee will not be subject to the reinstatement fee.
Payment Authorization for Outstanding Balances
The User, including but not limited to Lessees, Lessors, and Lienholders, acknowledges and agrees that all amounts owed to Beepz, whether arising from vehicle lease payments, purchase payments, fees, charges, fines, or any other contractual obligations, must be paid in full in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement.
By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, the User expressly authorizes Beepz to take any of the following actions, at its sole discretion, to settle any outstanding balances:
- Charge the Card on File – Beepz may charge any stored payment method on file, including credit cards, debit cards, or other linked payment methods, to cover any outstanding amounts owed, including but not limited to delayed payments, fines, invoices, or fees.
- Deduct from Payouts – For Lienholders or Lessors receiving payouts from sales or other transactions facilitated by Beepz, Beepz may deduct any amounts owed before disbursing the remaining funds.
- Deduct from Insurance Claim Reimbursements – For Lessees, Lessors, or Lienholders receiving insurance claim reimbursements processed through or by Beepz, Beepz may deduct any outstanding balances from such reimbursements prior to disbursement.
- Retain and Apply Other Payments – Beepz reserves the right to retain and apply any onboarding fees, down payments, or other amounts paid by the User in connection with a subsequent vehicle lease, purchase, or onboarding process toward the outstanding balance. Such application of funds shall not be deemed a waiver of Beepz’s right to pursue collection of any remaining balance.
Beepz further reserves the right to suspend, delay, or cancel any onboarding, lease, or purchase transaction until all outstanding balances have been paid in full, and to pursue collection of any remaining amounts through any lawful means, including but not limited to account immobilization, repossession of leased vehicles, legal action, or referral to a collections agency.
The User understands and agrees that any enforcement action by Beepz shall not relieve them of their obligation to pay the full balance owed, plus any applicable late fees, collection costs, legal fees, or other charges permitted under applicable law.
Invoice and Automatic Payment Enforcement
All users will receive an invoice via Stripe for any outstanding balances. Users are provided a 30-day period to self-pay this invoice. If the invoice is not settled within this period, Beepz will enforce payment by automatically utilizing one or more of the aforementioned methods—charging the stored payment method, deducting from payouts, or intercepting insurance claim reimbursements—to cover the unpaid balance.
Dispute Resolution
Users agree to address any disputes regarding charges or deductions directly with Beepz. Concerns should be communicated promptly via email to [email protected]. Beepz is committed to investigating and resolving all disputes swiftly and equitably.
Prohibition of Bank Disputes
Users acknowledge that all charges and deductions made by Beepz under these terms are considered authorized transactions. Users agree not to dispute these charges with their banks or other financial institutions. Initiating a bank dispute on such charges constitutes a breach of this agreement and may lead to additional actions by Beepz.
By continuing to use Beepz services, users confirm their understanding and acceptance of these payment measures as essential conditions of their participation in Beepz transactions and services. Users are reminded to keep their payment methods and contact information current to ensure efficient and accurate financial processing. Failure to maintain updated information may result in service disruptions.
Set-Off and Application of Funds
In the event that the User has any outstanding balance or indebtedness to Beepz, including but not limited to amounts arising from a prior vehicle lease or purchase, Beepz reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to retain any onboarding fees, down payments, or other amounts paid by the User in connection with a subsequent vehicle lease, purchase, or onboarding process, and to apply such amounts toward the outstanding balance. Any such application of funds shall not be deemed a waiver of Beepz’s right to pursue collection of any remaining balance, and Beepz shall not be obligated to refund any portion of the amounts retained. Beepz further reserves the right to delay, suspend, or cancel any new transaction or onboarding until all outstanding balances have been paid in full.
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
Information Provided
Users understand that they will provide Personal Information to use the Beepz App, to enter into Transactions, and to benefit from Beepz’s Services. Beepz shall use its best efforts to safeguard all Personal Information provided by Users. Beepz shall not disclose Personal Information except to employees and affiliates who have a need to know and for purposes of executing the obligations set forth in this Agreement. Personal Information is used to communicate with Users, to assess User preferences, to operate and improve Beepz’ Services, and for payment purposes. Beepz will not use Personal Information for any purpose other than the purposes set forth in this Agreement.
Screening
Beepz undertakes to thoroughly and carefully screen all Users in an effort to prevent fraud or other unlawful behavior. While Beepz shall use its best efforts to screen and select Users, Beepz is not responsible for the conduct of any User of the App.
Maintenance of Records
Beepz agrees to keep and maintain written records of all Services made during the term of this Agreement. The records shall be in the form of electronic files, reports, or any other format that is customary in the industry or as otherwise specified by Beepz. Such records are and remain the sole property of Beepz but may be delivered to the User upon request and only with respect to the Transaction in which they are involved.
LIENHOLER’S OBLIGATION
The Lienholder is responsible for uploading photos and information regarding Vehicles that are available for Lease. The Lienholder shall ensure the Vehicles posted and published on the Beepz App by the Lienholder are available and in good working condition.
The Lienholder agrees to promptly and thoroughly respond to inquiries regarding the Vehicle(s) posted on the App. The Lienholder shall provide accurate information to Lessees regarding the Vehicle and the Lease terms. Upon request, the Lienholder shall schedule meetings and information sessions with Lessees.
The Lienholder shall determine the value of the Vehicle and shall negotiate in good faith with the Lessees to determine mutually acceptable pricing. The Lienholder has sole discretion to approve or decline offers presented by Lessees.
When the terms of a Lease are agreed upon by the Lienholder and Lessee, the Lienholder shall execute all documentation necessary for the Transaction. The Lienholder will pay to have a Killswitch installed prior to the transfer of the Vehicle to the Lessee.
Beepz facilitates the platform by providing lessees who meet minimal requirements, including proof of identification. Additionally, Beepz ensures that lessees have submitted either proof of income or evidence of an active or initiating venture with a rideshare or on-demand delivery account.
However, the Lienholder retains full responsibility for selecting and approving the right lessee for their vehicle. The Lienholder is required to communicate with potential lessees and make their own assessment to ensure a suitable match. Beepz does not participate in or take responsibility for the selection process.
The Lienholder agrees to hold Beepz harmless in the event of lessee default or if the lessee is deemed unsuitable for any reason. Beepz assumes no liability for any issues arising from the Lienholder’s choice of lessee.
The Lienholder agrees to retain at least one functional remote or key for each Vehicle throughout the duration of the Lease Term. This remote or key shall be kept available for the purpose of facilitating vehicle returns or repossession in the event of Lessee default, non-payment, or termination of the Lease. The Lienholder acknowledges that failure to retain a remote or key may delay repossession activities, and Beepz shall bear no responsibility or liability for any resulting delays, costs, or damages.
LESSEE'S OBLIGATION
The Lessee shall browse and view the Vehicles uploaded and posted on the App, select a Vehicle of interest, and send the Lienholder an information request or an offer.
The Lessee agrees to provide certified copies of their valid driver’s license and car insurance. Throughout the Lease term, the Lessee must maintain the same Valid Driver's License and Automobile Property/Casualty Comprehensive and Collision Insurance as initially held at the Lease's commencement.
By accepting these terms and conditions, the Lessee acknowledges and agrees that any deductible on the insurance is their responsibility and will be owed to the Seller. Beepz reserves the right to include this deductible in a final invoice for all amounts owed to Beepz or the Seller.
Amendments to Insurance Requirements
Any amendments to these insurance requirements, including changes in deductible amounts, must be promptly communicated to Beepz. Failure to comply with these initial and ongoing insurance requirements will result in the following actions by Beepz:
- Account Cancellation: Non-compliance with the insurance requirements may lead to the immediate cancellation of the lessee’s account on the Beepz platform.
- Instant Immobilization and Repossession: In the event of non-compliance with the insurance requirements, Beepz reserves the right to immediately immobilize the vehicle associated with the non-compliance. Further, Beepz may initiate the repossession of the vehicle to ensure compliance with our terms and protect the interests of all parties involved.
By listing a vehicle on Beepz, all lessees agree to adhere to these insurance requirements. This agreement ensures the protection of the vehicle and the lessee throughout the duration of the lease term.
The Lessee shall provide Payment Information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon reaching an agreement with the Lienholder regarding the Lease and the Purchase Price, the Lessee shall make timely payments in accordance with the terms set forth in the Lease Agreement.
The Lessee is responsible for inspecting the Vehicle to Lessee’s full satisfaction prior to signing the Lease. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Lessee is responsible for all maintenance and repairs to the Vehicle during the Lease term. With the exception of ordinary repairs, the Lessee may not modify the Vehicle in any way without the Lienholder’s written consent. The Parties acknowledge that automobiles require service and maintenance, and major engine service can be expensive. The Lessee agrees to ensure that the Vehicle receives an oil change every 5000 miles during the Lease Term. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the cancellation of this Agreement by Beepz.
In the event of cancellation due to failure to perform required oil changes, the Lessee will not be reimbursed for the week's use of the vehicle and shall be responsible for all costs if the car is damaged due to the lack of maintenance on the car.
The Lessee may return the Vehicle and terminate the Lease at any time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Failure to Pay
If the Lessee fails to make a payment or if the Lessee’s payment does not clear on its due date, the Lessee may choose from the following three (3) Payment Options:
- The Lessee will be notified by Beepz that payment was not received, and the Lessee shall submit payment within forty-eight (48) hours. If payment is not received within the next 48 hours, then Beepz may take any necessary steps to repossess the Vehicle.
- The Lessee may use the “Week Pass” option as described above.
- The Lessee may return the Vehicle to the Lienholder at a location specified by the Lienholder or request that Beepz repossess the Vehicle for a fee.
The Lessee agrees to return the Vehicle in the same condition it was in at the start of the Transaction, with the exception of mileage and normal wear and tear. If the Vehicle is returned in poor condition or with damages, the Lessee shall be responsible for paying for the costs of repairs required to restore the Vehicle to the condition it was in at the start of the Transaction, with the exception of miles driven and ordinary wear and tear. If the Lessee returns the Vehicle for reasons of non-payment or failure to pay under this Section, the Lessee shall not be entitled to the reimbursement or refund of the Deposit.
If the Lessee fails to perform any of the three (3) Payment Options listed above, Beepz and/or the Lienholder may then geolocate and stop the Vehicle using the Killswitch, then have the vehicle towed at the Lessee’s expense. The Lessee is responsible for all related towing costs and repossession fees. If the Vehicle is dirty when repossessed, the Lessee shall pay the Vehicle Cleaning Fee. If the Vehicle is missing equipment or damaged when repossessed, the Lessee is responsible for the cost of all repairs, parts, and labor and the diminished value of the Vehicle caused by any damage or repair. The Lessee is responsible for any and all costs that exceed the amount of the Deposit. The Lessee agrees to return the vehicle to the Lienholder's original address, where it was initially picked up. If the Lessee leaves the vehicle at any location other than the Lienholder's designated return address, such action will be deemed as repossession.
PROPERTY ACCESS FOR REPOSSESSION:
Lessee expressly authorizes and grants Beepz, its representatives, or any designated repossession agent unrestricted permission to enter Lessee's property for the purpose of repossessing the vehicle if Lessee becomes subject to repossession. This authorization includes but is not limited to entry into driveways, parking spaces, or garages, provided these areas are accessible. Lessee agrees to maintain clear and unobstructed access, refraining from intentionally restricting or hindering any repossession activities authorized under this agreement.
COSTS RELATED TO THE VEHICLE
Major Engine Failure
If the Vehicle experiences any major engine failure within 6 weeks after the start of the Lease, and the engine failure is no fault of the Lessee, then the Lessee may return the Vehicle without any penalty or fees and receive the full return of the initial onboarding fee
Car Accidents
The Lessee is responsible for any damage to the Vehicle resulting from a car accident. The costs to repair damage to the Vehicle may include parts, labor, taxes, and fees incurred. These costs may be paid via Lessee’s automobile insurance policy. Lessee additionally authorizes Beepz to deduct these costs from any payment made by the Lessee. The costs will also be added to the final Purchase Price until paid. Lessee acknowledges that Beepz is further authorized, without requiring any additional consent, to charge such costs to the payment method in the Lessee’s file. Lessee agrees to hold Beepz and Lienholder harmless from any liability, actions, or expenses related to car accidents. In the event that the Vehicle is declared a total loss by the insurance company due to an accident or any other covered event, the Lienholder shall have the option to accept the compensation provided by the insurance company or negotiate directly with the insurance company for a higher amount, if desired.
If the Seller chooses to accept the compensation provided by the insurance company, the amount received shall be applied towards any outstanding amounts owed under this Agreement, including but not limited to any remaining balance on the Purchase Price, unpaid weekly payments, or other charges incurred by the Lessee.
Upon acceptance of the insurance compensation by the Seller, Beepz shall not owe anything further to the Seller in relation to the total loss of the Vehicle. In the event that the Vehicle is declared a total loss due to an accident or any other covered event, and the Buyer (Lessee) does not have insurance coverage or fails to have adequate insurance coverage, Beepz shall provide coverage to the Seller (The Lienholder) based on the choice of coverage made under the Beepz Seller Theft & Damage Protection.
Depending on the coverage option selected by the Seller under the Beepz Seller Theft & Damage Protection, Beepz shall provide compensation to the Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions of the selected coverage.
Upon receipt of compensation from Beepz, any outstanding amounts owed under this Agreement shall be settled, including but not limited to any remaining balance on the Purchase Price, unpaid weekly payments, or other charges incurred by the Lessee.
Traffic Tickets
The Lessee is responsible for all traffic citations and parking tickets issued upon the Vehicle or the driver of the Vehicle during the Term of the Lease. The Lessee expressly authorizes Beepz to charge any stored payment method on file for the full amount of any parking tickets or violations incurred during the term of the lease. No prior notice or consent shall be required for such charges. The Lessee waives any right to dispute these charges as long as the ticket or violation occurred while the vehicle was in their possession.
Towing & Impoundment
The Lessee is responsible for any and all towing and/or impoundment charges during the Term of the Lease and for the cost to repair any damage to the Vehicle which may result from towing. Failure of the Lessee to retrieve an impounded vehicle is a breach of the Lease Agreement. Any costs paid by Lienholder to recover or repair a towed Vehicle shall be reimbursed by the Lessee.
Beepz shall not be responsible for covering any tow yard or impound fees incurred in connection with a Vehicle leased through the Beepz platform. In the event that a Vehicle is towed or impounded, the Lessee shall be solely responsible for paying all related costs, fees, and charges in full. If the Lessee is unable or unwilling to cover such costs, the Lienholder assumes responsibility for payment in order to recover the Vehicle. Beepz shall bear no liability or obligation to reimburse the Lienholder or Lessee for any tow yard, impound, or related expenses under any circumstance.
TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP
After the final Lease payment and payment of the final Purchase Price by the Lessee, ownership of the Vehicle shall be transferred from the Lienholder to the Lessee. The Lienholder shall take all actions required to transfer the valid registration of ownership of the Vehicle to the Lessee. Any fees required for the valid Transfer of Ownership under this Section are paid by the Lessee with the final Lease payment. Beepz is in no way responsible for facilitating or executing the transfer of the Vehicle ownership. Lienholder and Lessee are exclusively responsible for ensuring that the transfer of ownership is properly executed in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Lessee agrees and acknowledges that the Vehicle shall be transferred to the Lessee in “as-is” condition, without warranties of any kind, except for those required by applicable laws. The Lessee is solely responsible for any issues, damages, or problems with the Vehicle.
TERM AND TERMINATION
The Lease Agreement shall come into force and effect as of the date of signature and shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) final completion of the Transaction or (ii) termination in accordance with this section.
Either Party may terminate or cancel the Lease Agreement by using the cancellation process on the Beepz App within forty-eight (48) hours after signing the Lease. However, after the Vehicle registration application is submitted at the vehicle registration office, the Lease Agreement may not be canceled or terminated without the written consent of all Parties.
Lessee may return the vehicle at any time to terminate the Lease, but no prior weekly Lease payments will be refunded, and the termination is subject to the other terms of this Agreement and the Lease Agreement.
Beepz reserves the right to terminate or suspend the Services and/or either Party’s usage of the Beepz App in the event the Party breaches the terms of this Agreement as determined by Beepz in its sole discretion. The Parties agree that Beepz shall not be liable for any termination or suspension of its Services.
EFFECT OF TERMINATION
Within ten (10) days after the Termination of a Lease Agreement, the Lessee and Lienholder are responsible for paying all fees and costs due and outstanding. The Beepz Terms and Conditions, especially those relating to confidentiality, liability, and indemnification, shall survive termination of the Lease Agreement.
The Lessee understands and agrees that Beepz reserves the right to take the Lienholder's name off the car registration in case of non-communication, removal of the MagicSwitch device from the car, or if the buyer stops making payments for the vehicle. In such cases, the vehicle will be reported as stolen, and the Lessee's information will be provided to the police.

Any disclosure of Confidential Information by the Parties in violation of this Agreement may cause Beepz irreparable harm and for which Beepz may seek damages.

- No Financial Disputes: Under no circumstances will financial disputes be entertained or considered as a reason for non-payment or delayed payment for the car's usage. All users are expected to honor their financial commitments in a timely manner, as agreed upon at the outset of the transaction.

SERVICE CONTINUITY
In the event that Beepz goes out of business or ceases to operate, Beepz commits to taking the following steps to ensure service continuity for existing sellers:
- Notification: Beepz will promptly inform all sellers and buyers of the impending closure or cessation of operations, providing them with sufficient time to make necessary arrangements and plan for the transition.
- Data sharing: Beepz will provide sellers with the contact information of their respective buyers, and vice versa, to enable direct communication between the two parties. This will be done in compliance with data privacy regulations and with the consent of all involved parties.
- Guidance and support: Beepz will offer guidance and support to sellers during the transition period, helping them understand the implications of the closure and how to manage their relationships with buyers moving forward. This may include providing resources and templates for communication, invoicing, and payment processing. Additionally, Beepz will provide detailed guidance on the Magicswitch, including geolocalisation and turning the engine on and off, to ensure sellers are fully equipped to handle their transactions without the platform.
- Transaction continuity: Buyers will be required to connect with sellers to continue their relationship and remit payments directly to the sellers, ensuring a seamless transition of financial obligations. Beepz will provide guidance on alternative payment processing options and may recommend trusted third-party platforms for this purpose.
- Dispute resolution: Beepz will establish a process to address any disputes or issues that may arise during the transition period, ensuring that all parties have a clear path to resolution and are treated fairly.
By implementing these measures, Beepz aims to maintain trust and protect the interests of all parties involved in ongoing transactions, despite any unforeseen circumstances that may affect the company's operations.
NON-DISCRIMINATION CLAUSE
Commitment to Equal Treatment

We believe in treating everyone with respect and fairness.
- User Conduct: All users of Beepz, whether sellers or buyers are expected to adhere to this principle of non-discrimination.

All reports will be reviewed with the utmost seriousness, confidentiality, and promptness. Beepz reserves the right to take any appropriate action based on the outcome of the investigation.
- Continuous Improvement: Beepz strives to create an inclusive platform and will continuously assess and improve our policies, practices, and features to promote fairness, diversity, and inclusion.
Authorization for Vehicle Retrieval Tracking
Consent to Use Tracking Methods
In the event of payment default, the buyer expressly authorizes Beepz to employ any and all means of tracking to ascertain the whereabouts of the vehicle. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of GPS tracking devices installed on the vehicle, triangulating the location using the buyer's mobile phone, or any other technological methods designed to aid in the recovery of the vehicle. The buyer understands and accepts that these measures are solely for the purpose of ensuring the safe retrieval of the vehicle and agrees not to obstruct or interfere with such tracking efforts.
EMERGENCY POSTPONED WEEK
Either the Lessee or the Lienholder may request an emergency postponed week for unforeseen situations. An emergency postponed week allows for the postponement of a week's payment to the end of the payment plan.
The acceptance of an emergency postponed week request will be at the discretion of Beepz, depending on the documentation provided by either the Lessee or the Lienholder.
In the event that Beepz disagrees to offer an emergency postponed week, the Lessee will be obligated to pay for the week or return the Vehicle immediately to the Lienholder.
The Lessee acknowledges that no reimbursement will be provided for the week during which the Vehicle was in use.
MILEAGE LIMIT
The Lessee acknowledges and agrees to adhere to the mileage limit of 3600 miles per month on average as outlined in the Beepz terms and conditions. Should the Lessee exceed this limit, The lienholder reserves the right to either adjust the weekly payment amount accordingly or cancel the agreement.
In the event of cancellation due to exceeding the mileage limit, no refund for prior paid weeks will be possible. Any adjustments to the payment amount will be determined by Beepz upon request by the Seller, taking into account the exceeded mileage allowance.
VEHICLE RETURN SERVICES
Vehicle Return Services will be provided free of charge during the first four weeks of an active deal, with the understanding that this includes an onboarding week and thus free returns end when “week 3” concludes. After this period, if a Lienholder requires the return of a vehicle due to nonpayment or lack of proper maintenance, the Lienholder may either (i) request the vehicle’s location from Beepz and arrange retrieval independently, or (ii) request that Beepz retrieve the vehicle on the Lienholder’s behalf. If Beepz is requested to perform the retrieval, a fee of $329.00 will apply, payable through the Beepz app.
Beepz makes no guarantee regarding the timing of any vehicle repossession. The timing may vary due to factors beyond Beepz’s control, and users acknowledge that repossession could occur at any time as deemed necessary by Beepz.
ACCOUNT REINSTATEMENT AFTER PAYMENT OR ISSUE RESOLUTION
If a buyer settles the outstanding payment or resolves the issue prompting repossession—including, but not limited to, providing proof of required maintenance, current vehicle registration, or valid insurance—before the return or repossession is processed, their account will be automatically reinstated, and their right to retain the vehicle will be restored, unless Beepz, at its sole discretion, determines otherwise.
