• Actions, inactions, errors, or omissions of the Client or Host in connection with the vehicle rental or use of our platform;
• Any breach of contract, violation of any law or the rights of a third party by the Client or Host during the rental transaction;
• Any accident, injury, or damage occurring during the rental period or as a result of the use of a rented vehicle.
