Last Updated: January 14, 2026
These Terms of Service (this "Agreement") are agreed to between TSS Collective Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation d/b/a "Sweet Spot" ("Sweet Spot") and you as an individual, or, if you represent an entity or other organization, that entity (in either case, "you" or "your").
Sweet Spot offers a proprietary bicycle leasing platform (the "Platform"). You may access the Platform through the website located at www.thesweetspot.com and through various other websites operated by Sweet Spot (each a "Site") or using mobile and online applications provided by and on behalf of Sweet Spot (each, an "Application," and each Site and Application are treated as a part of the "Platform" for purposes of this Agreement).
Any features or functionality available through the Platform offered via each Site and Application are collectively referred to as the "Services." The Platform provides Users (as defined below) with the ability to access information, data, reports, and other materials and content (collectively, "Content"). This Agreement applies to the Platform, and Content and Services available through the Platform, regardless of the Site or Application through which you access or use the Platform, Content, or Services.
PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT. BY ACCESSING OR USING ANY PART OF THE PLATFORM, CONTENT, OR SERVICES, OR BY CLICKING A BOX THAT STATES THAT YOU ACCEPT OR AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF AN ENTITY, BY ACCESSING OR USING ANY PART OF THE PLATFORM, CONTENT, OR SERVICES OR BY CLICKING A BOX THAT STATES THAT YOU ACCEPT OR AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE AUTHORITY TO BIND THAT ENTITY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT, OR DO NOT MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS INCLUDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, SWEET SPOT IS NOT WILLING TO PROVIDE YOU WITH ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE PLATFORM, CONTENT, OR SERVICES AND YOU MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM, CONTENT, OR SERVICES. IF YOU ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM, CONTENT, OR SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS INCLUDED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SECTION 20 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION) OF THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS PROVISIONS GOVERNING HOW CLAIMS THAT YOU AND SWEET SPOT HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED, INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS THAT AROSE OR WERE ASSERTED PRIOR TO THE "LAST UPDATED" DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT. IN PARTICULAR, IT CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WHICH WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, REQUIRE DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND SWEET SPOT TO BE SUBMITTED TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION. UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: (1) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE ANY CLAIMS AND SEEK RELIEF AGAINST SWEET SPOT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING; AND (2) YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO SEEK RELIEF IN A COURT OF LAW AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON YOUR CLAIMS.
ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR ACCESS AND/OR USE OF THE PLATFORM, CONTENT, OR SERVICES WILL BE GOVERNED AND INTERPRETED BY AND UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF COLORADO CONSISTENT WITH THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS IS EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED FROM THIS AGREEMENT.

The Platform, Content, and Services are intended to be used only by individuals and entities that can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. By accessing or using the Platform, Content, or Services you agree that you meet these eligibility requirements.
5. Accounts
5.1. Users
You are permitted to access certain Content and Services without establishing a user account on the Platform (an "Account"), provided that you have agreed to this Agreement. However, before accessing certain portions of the Platform, Content, and Services you and any person you authorize to access the Platform, Content, or Services, as well as any other end user thereof (each a "User") are required to establish an Account on the Platform. Approval of your request to establish an Account will be at the sole discretion of Sweet Spot. Each Account and the user identification and password for each Account (the "Account ID") is personal in nature. Each Account is for your personal use and each Account ID may be used only by you alone. You may not distribute or transfer your Account or Account ID or provide a third party with the right to access your Account or Account ID. You are solely responsible for all use of the Platform, Content, and Services through your Account. You will ensure the security and confidentiality of your Account ID and will notify Sweet Spot immediately if your Account ID is lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised. You are fully responsible for all liabilities and damages incurred through the use of your Account or under your Account ID (whether lawful or unlawful) and any transactions completed through your Account or under your Account ID will be deemed to have been lawfully completed by you.
5.2. Account Registration
In connection with establishing an Account, you will be asked to submit certain information about yourself ("Registration Information"). You represent and warrant that: (a) all Registration Information you provide will be accurate, complete, and current; and (b) you will maintain and promptly update your Registration Information to keep it accurate, complete, and current. You may not: (i) use or input Registration Information of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; and (ii) use or input Registration Information that Sweet Spot, in its sole discretion, deems offensive.
6. Content
6.1. User Content
"User Content" means any and all information, data, ideas, submissions, questions, reviews, comments, and other content (including, text, audio, video, photographs, illustrations, graphics, testimonials, and other media) that a User makes available in connection with their use of the Platform or Services, including any such content that a User provides, uploads, or transfers to the Platform or generates through the User's Account (e.g., content uploaded or tagged or in a public profile or posting, Registration Information, photo, or bicycle leasing service related information). You are solely responsible for your User Content. You assume all risks associated with use of your User Content, including any reliance on its accuracy, completeness, or usefulness by other Users, or any disclosure of your User Content that makes you or any third party personally identifiable.

Because you alone are responsible for your User Content (and not Sweet Spot), you may expose yourself to liability if, for example, your User Content violates the Acceptable Use Policy. Sweet Spot is not obligated to back-up any User Content. Sweet Spot may delete User Content at any time, for any reason or no reason, without notice. If your User Content is not shown on or is deleted from the Platform, you may contact Sweet Spot as provided herein with evidence of such User Content's compliance with applicable Laws (as defined below).

Sweet Spot reserves the right (but has no obligation) to review any User Content, investigate, or take appropriate action against you in its sole discretion if you violate the Acceptable Use Policy or otherwise create liability for Sweet Spot or any other person. Such acts may include removing or modifying your User Content, terminating your User Account, or reporting you to law enforcement authorities.
6.3. License to your User Content
You represent and warrant that you will comply with the Acceptable Use Policy as to all your User Content. You are solely responsible for all User Content that you may provide or generate through your use of or access to the Platform.

Sweet Spot will treat any Feedback you provide to Sweet Spot as non-confidential and non-proprietary. You agree that you will not submit to Sweet Spot any information or ideas that you consider to be confidential or proprietary.
7. Access
7.1. To the Platform
Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, Sweet Spot will permit you to access and use the Platform, Content, and Services solely for lawful purposes and only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other agreement you agree to with Sweet Spot before being given access to any specific aspects of the Platform.

You may use the opt out features in the Application to modify your preferences if you no longer wish to receive Reminders. If you do not want to receive Reminders as push notifications (but otherwise want to receive Reminders), you may disable such push notifications through your device or browser settings, as applicable.
7.4. To Other Users
The Platform may allow you to communicate with other Users through the Platform. By connecting or communicating with other Users, you are agreeing to allow those Users to communicate directly with you through the Platform. You agree that you are solely responsible for all communications between you and any other User through the Platform. Your extension or acceptance of a connection, or other communication with another User will serve as your affirmative "opt in" to the disclosure of any of your User Content or other data or information (which may include your personal information) that you provide to that other User.
7.5. To Content
Unless otherwise noted on the Platform, all Content available through the Platform, including all text, audio, video, photographs, illustrations, graphics, and other media, is owned by Sweet Spot, the User providing User Content, or Sweet Spot's other third-party providers. You represent and warrant that you will comply with the Acceptable Use Policy as to all Content available through the Platform. All Content is provided for informational purposes only and you are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy, completeness, and applicability of all Content and for your use of any Content. Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, you may access the Content solely for your own personal and noncommercial purposes in connection with your own use of the Platform and Services. Sweet Spot has not verified the accuracy of, and will not be responsible for any errors or omissions in, any Content. Each User is solely responsible for any and all of its User Content. Because Sweet Spot does not control User Content, you acknowledge and agree that Sweet Spot is not responsible for any User Content. Sweet Spot makes no guarantees regarding the accuracy, currency, suitability, or quality of any User Content, and Sweet Spot assumes no responsibility for any User Content. Your interactions and transactions with any other User are solely between you and such User.

If there is a dispute between you and any other User, Sweet Spot is under no obligation to become involved. Without limiting the foregoing, Sweet Spot will not be held liable to you or any other third party for any Content (including your User Content) under a Federal Law called the Communications Decency Act or CDA, 47 U.S.C. § 230. Except as set forth in this Agreement, you are granted no licenses or other rights in or to any Content, or any IPR therein or related thereto. If you would like to use any Content in a manner not permitted by this Agreement, please contact Sweet Spot.

You agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms of the App Store (the "Usage Rules") when using an Application. To the extent this Agreement provides for usage rules that are less restrictive than or otherwise in conflict with the Usage Rules, the more restrictive term applies. This Agreement incorporates by reference the terms of the Addendum to this Agreement and any other terms available at the respective App Store from which you have obtained the Application. You agree that this Agreement is between you and Sweet Spot, and not with the App Store. The App Store is not responsible for the Application, maintenance and support services or any warranty thereof, or addressing any claims related thereto. You agree to pay all fees charged by the App Store in connection with the Applications (if any).

If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS's filing, administrative, hearing, or other fees and you cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Sweet Spot will pay them for you. In addition, Sweet Spot will reimburse all such JAMS's filing, administrative, hearing, or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
20.3. Authority of Arbitrator
The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Sweet Spot. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum's rules, and this Agreement (including this Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Sweet Spot.
20.4. Waiver of Jury Trial
YOU AND SWEET SPOT HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Sweet Spot are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 20.1 above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
20.5. Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief
ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this Subsection's limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the state or federal courts located in the State of Colorado. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
20.6. 30-Day Right to Opt Out
You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to TSS Collective Holdings, Inc. d/b/a "Sweet Spot", Attn: Legal, 300 Center Dr, Ste G, #344, Superior, CO 80027, or support@thesweetspot.com, within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter into in the future, with Sweet Spot.
20.7. Severability
Except as provided in Section 20.5, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
20.8. Survival of Agreement
This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination or expiration of your relationship with Sweet Spot.
20.9. Modification
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties agree that if Sweet Spot makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing Sweet Spot at support@thesweetspot.com with a subject line that must include "Arbitration Agreement Notice."
21. Governing Law and Venue
The interpretation of the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement, including, to the extent applicable, any negotiations, arbitrations, or other proceedings hereunder, will be governed in all respects exclusively by the laws of the State of Colorado, U.S.A., as such laws apply to contracts between residents of Colorado without regard to conflict of laws provisions thereof. Subject to Section 20 (Dispute Resolution), each party will bring any action or proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement exclusively in a federal or state court in the State of Colorado, U.S.A., and you irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of any such courts in any such action or proceeding brought in such courts by Sweet Spot.

All waivers by Sweet Spot under this Agreement must be in writing or later acknowledged by Sweet Spot in writing. Any waiver or failure by Sweet Spot to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver by Sweet Spot of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, that provision will be removed to the extent necessary to comply with the law, replaced by a provision that most closely approximates the original intent and economic effect of the original to the extent consistent with the law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. The prevailing party in any lawsuit or proceeding arising from or related to this Agreement will be entitled to receive its costs, expert witness fees and reasonable attorneys' fees, including costs and fees on appeal. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations of you hereunder may be assigned or transferred by you (in whole or in part and including by sale, merger, consolidation, or other operation of law) without the prior written approval of Sweet Spot. Any purported assignment in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Sweet Spot may assign this Agreement to any party that assumes Sweet Spot's obligations hereunder. The parties hereto are independent parties, not agents, employees or employers of the other, or joint venturers, and neither acquires hereunder any right or ability to bind or enter into any obligation on behalf of the other. Any reference herein to the words "include," "includes," and "including" will mean "include," "includes," and "including," in each case, "without limitation." Upon request from Sweet Spot, you agree to provide Sweet Spot with such documentation or records with respect to your activities under this Agreement as may be reasonably requested for Sweet Spot to verify your compliance with the terms of this Agreement and all applicable Laws.
