Policies & Agreements — Kanta Adventure Club

Bike Partner Agreement — temporary partnership in the motorcycle's rights

1. Platform access revenue split: 75% to the bike host, 25% to the Kanta Adventure Club platform.
2. The term is 12 months, with an option to extend for one additional year by mutual consent.
3. The platform requires every rider to declare and upload a valid motorcycle licence and International Driving Permit and blocks handover until operational review is complete; this is not a representation or guarantee by Kanta Adventure Club as to document authenticity or rider conduct. Kanta collects and administers the deposit solely as a payment service.
4. The motorcycle enters the active fleet only after valid RC and insurance documents are approved.
5. The motorcycle owner is solely responsible for the validity and cost of registration (RC), insurance and the pollution-under-control (PUC) certificate, including every fee and premium. Kanta Adventure Club may coordinate reminders or renewal solely as an operational service; every cost is deducted from the owner's payout and no responsibility or liability transfers to Kanta.
6. The motorcycle owner is solely responsible for roadworthiness, preventive maintenance and every service, repair or part cost arising from reasonable wear and tear, mechanical failure, latent defect, or any fault in the engine, gearbox, frame, tyres, brakes, electrical system or other component. Kanta Adventure Club only coordinates the garage and follow-up, does not fund these costs and is not liable for them.
7. Temporary custody model: legal ownership stays with the owner, and for each booking only custody passes to the rider under a dedicated power of attorney / use agreement. Throughout that period the rider carries full civil, criminal and traffic liability, including every authority charge — all of which is lifted from the owner.
8. Deposit and damage recovery: Kanta Adventure Club takes a security deposit of 25% of the motorcycle component price from the rider, charged in addition to the booking payment and not as an advance. If rider-liable damage exceeds the deposit, the rider authorises Kanta Adventure Club in advance to charge the payment method on file for the full remaining balance per the workshop inspection report.
9. Bilateral termination: either party — the bike owner or Kanta Adventure Club — may end the engagement at any time and for any reason with 30 days' prior written notice, without cause and without penalty. From the notice date the motorcycle is not offered for new bookings, and every booking confirmed before the notice is honoured until fulfilled. Final settlement is made in the following payout cycle.
10. Indemnity and defects: the owner indemnifies Kanta Adventure Club against every claim, debt, fine, loss or demand arising from ownership, registration, insurance, lack of roadworthiness, wear and tear, mechanical failure, latent defect, manufacturing fault or structural failure — including one discovered only during the term — except loss finally adjudged to have resulted from Kanta Adventure Club's direct negligence.
11. GPS tracking: every motorcycle is fitted with a GPS tracker installed and operated by Kanta Adventure Club — for theft protection, real-time location and accurate mileage reporting. The device cost and its monthly service fee are borne by the bike owner and shown as a separate line in the monthly revenue statement.
12. Local jurisdiction: this agreement is governed by Indian law, and any dispute arising from it is subject exclusively to the competent courts of Delhi, India.
13. Tax compliance / TDS: the 75% net payout to the bike owner is subject to Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) and any other statutory withholding mandated by Indian tax laws, where applicable. Any amount withheld is shown separately in the monthly statement and a TDS certificate is issued for it.
