Rider Agreement

1. Rider Responsibilities

1.1 Safe Operation

You are solely responsible for the safe operation of your vehicle at all times. The Vertbox must be mounted securely before riding and must not obstruct your visibility, vehicle lights, license plate, or any safety equipment. You must comply with all Georgia traffic laws and local ordinances.

1.2 Device Care

You agree to:

• Keep the Vertbox clean and free of debris that could obstruct the display
• Protect the device from intentional damage, extreme impact, or submersion beyond its IP65 rating
• Store the device in a reasonably secure location when not mounted on your vehicle
• Not leave the Vertbox unattended on your vehicle in unsecured locations for extended periods
• Report any device malfunction, damage, or suspected theft to Wandervert within 24 hours

1.3 Power Management

You are responsible for keeping the Vertbox charged. The device must be powered on and functioning during your rides to generate ad impressions and earnings. A depleted battery does not excuse non-performance under this Agreement.

1.4 Mounting Compliance

The Vertbox must be mounted:

• Using only the provided Wandervert mounting hardware
• In the rear-facing position as instructed during onboarding
• Securely to the designated mounting point on your registered vehicle
• Without modification to the device or your vehicle

2. Geographic Service Area

2.1 Current Service Area

The Vertbox service is currently available within the Atlanta metropolitan area, including areas inside the perimeter (ITP) and selected areas outside the perimeter (OTP). The current service area includes but is not limited to: Buckhead, Midtown, Downtown, Decatur, Old Fourth Ward, Virginia-Highland, West End, Inman Park, Grant Park, Cabbagetown, Reynoldstown, East Atlanta, West Midtown, Home Park, Atlantic Station, Poncey-Highland, Sylvan Hills, Summerhill, Castleberry Hill, Adair Park, Mechanicsville, Peoplestown, Pittsburgh, Boulevard Heights, Kirkwood, East Lake, Edgewood, Candler Park, Lake Claire, Druid Hills, Morningside, Lenox, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Marietta, and Alpharetta.

2.2 Service Area Limitations

Ad impressions and earnings are only generated within the designated service area. Riding outside the service area will not generate earnings. Wandervert may expand or modify the service area at any time without notice.

2.3 Earnings Zone Variability

Earnings rates vary by geographic zone within the service area. Zones with higher foot traffic and advertiser demand (such as Buckhead and Midtown) generally yield higher per-impression rates than lower-density areas. Wandervert does not guarantee any specific rate for any zone.

3. Active Riding Requirements

3.1 Riding Verification

To qualify for ad impression earnings, the following conditions must be met:

• The Vertbox must be powered on and displaying advertisements
• The device must be mounted on your registered vehicle
• The vehicle must be in motion (not stationary for extended periods)
• The device must be within the designated service area
• The GPS signal must be active and transmitting

3.2 Minimum Activity

While there is no minimum hourly requirement, Vertbox devices that generate zero ad impressions for 30 consecutive days may be subject to account review and potential deactivation. Wandervert will attempt to contact you before any deactivation.

3.3 Prohibited Earning Manipulation

You may not attempt to artificially inflate ad impressions by:

• Mounting the Vertbox on a stationary object (e.g., a fence, window, or parked vehicle not in use)
• Simulating GPS movement
• Riding in circles or patterns designed solely to generate impressions
• Using multiple devices on a single vehicle
• Any other method that does not represent genuine riding activity

Engaging in any of the above constitutes fraud and will result in immediate termination and potential legal action.

5. Earnings and Payments

6.3 No Endorsement

Display of an advertisement on your Vertbox does not constitute your personal endorsement of the advertised product or service. Wandervert makes clear to advertisers and the public that Vertbox displays are paid advertisements, not rider endorsements.

7. Vehicle and Rider Safety

7.1 No Distraction

The Vertbox is designed to operate autonomously and does not require any interaction while riding. You must not attempt to operate, adjust, or interact with the Vertbox while your vehicle is in motion.

The Vertbox weighs 680g (approximately 1.5 lbs). Wandervert has tested the device for safety and compatibility with common moped and motorcycle types. However, you are responsible for ensuring the device does not adversely affect your vehicle's stability, handling, or braking. If you experience any handling issues, discontinue use immediately and contact Wandervert.

7.3 Night Riding

The Vertbox display is rear-facing and is designed not to distract the rider or oncoming traffic. However, if you believe the display is causing visibility issues for you or other drivers at night, you may power off the device. Note that powered-off periods do not generate earnings.

7.4 Helmet and Safety Gear

Wandervert strongly encourages all riders to wear a DOT-approved helmet and appropriate safety gear at all times, in compliance with Georgia law. Nothing in this Agreement relieves you of your obligation to ride safely and legally.

8. Inspections and Audits
