Last updated: 2026-09-20
Commercial draft — subject to review and approval by qualified Indian counsel before taking effect.
Temporary custody agreement (handover and return)
The full text displayed and digitally signed at every motorcycle handover and return, including the 25% security deposit charged in addition to the platform access fee.
Handover clauses
- I take temporary custody of the motorcycle described above and confirm that I inspected it together with the attached photo record.
- For the period stated in the booking, all rights and obligations in the motorcycle pass to me temporarily — possession, use, and full civil, criminal and traffic liability. They revert under the return document when that period ends. This private agreement does not purport to alter a statutory registration or any liability that cannot be transferred under applicable law.
- Kanta Adventure Club acts only as the platform coordinating handover, return, documentation and collection, and as the operational reporting contact. Kanta is not the motorcycle owner, insurer or garage and is not responsible for its roadworthiness, maintenance or defects.
- I confirm I hold a valid motorcycle licence and a valid International Driving Permit, will wear a certified helmet and closed shoes, and will not hand the bike to a rider not named on the booking.
- Transferring, lending, renting or handing the motorcycle to any third party, and taking it outside the country without Kanta's written approval, are strictly prohibited.
- The registration certificate (RC), insurance and pollution-under-control (PUC) certificate accompany the motorcycle throughout the custody period; I am responsible for keeping them with the vehicle and presenting them to any authorised official.
- I am liable for any damage caused by an accident, negligence, use contrary to the custody terms or an act of a third party on my behalf, as well as for theft, fines, citations and traffic offences during the custody period — including those received after the return for that period.
- Riding under the influence of alcohol or drugs, racing, and riding on terrain unsuited to this vehicle are prohibited. Any breach voids all coverage and places the full damage on me.
- In any accident, third-party injury or theft I will notify Kanta and the local police immediately; filing a police report is a condition for handling the event.
- I will return the motorcycle at the time and place set in the booking, with the fuel level as delivered and all accompanying equipment. A late return is charged as an additional custody day at list price.
- Towing, recovery and transport costs arising from a fault or event for which I am responsible are borne entirely by me.
- Reasonable wear and tear of the engine, gearbox, frame, tyres, brakes and electrical system, and any mechanical failure or latent defect not arising from unreasonable use on my part, are not my responsibility as rider. Responsibility and repair cost rest with the motorcycle owner; Kanta Adventure Club only coordinates operational handling and neither assumes nor funds them.
- I have placed a security deposit of 25% of the motorcycle component of the booking. The deposit is charged in addition to the platform access fee; it is not an advance payment and is not offset against it.
- On return the motorcycle is inspected by an independent workshop coordinated by Kanta; that report is the basis for any set-off against the deposit or its release, but Kanta is not responsible for the workshop's work or findings. I authorise Kanta to charge my payment method for any amount I owe beyond the deposit, after the inspection report is provided to me and after 7 days in which I may object to it in writing.
- To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and subject to any mandatory provision that cannot be excluded, my aggregate liability for the motorcycle will not exceed the maximum liability amount stated in the handover document, except for fines, traffic citations and wilful misuse or express breach of the custody terms.
Return clauses
- I return the motorcycle to Kanta Adventure Club and confirm the photo record and readings above reflect its condition at the moment of return.
- I understand the motorcycle will undergo a mechanic inspection, and that its outcome determines any damage charge or the release of the deposit.
- Any charge beyond the deposit will be provided to me in a written report, and I may object to it in writing within 7 days before it is charged.
- Fines, citations and traffic offences from the custody period remain my responsibility after the return.
