3. The Vertbox Rental

3.1 Rental Agreement

The Vertbox is provided to you on a weekly rental basis. You do not acquire any ownership interest in the Vertbox. The device remains the sole and exclusive property of Wandervert at all times.

3.2 Rental Fee

The rental fee is $35 per week, deducted automatically from your weekly earnings. If your weekly earnings are less than $35, Wandervert waives the difference for that week. You are never required to make an out-of-pocket rental payment.

3.3 Rental Period

There is no minimum rental period. You may return the Vertbox at any time by providing at least 1 week's written notice through the app or by emailing hello@wandervert.com.

3.4 Device Assignment

Each Vertbox is assigned to a specific rider and device serial number. You may not sell, loan, sublease, transfer, or otherwise allow any other person to use your assigned Vertbox.

4. Use of the Vertbox

4.1 Intended Use

The Vertbox is designed solely to display geo-targeted advertisements on your vehicle while you ride. You agree to use the Vertbox only as intended and in accordance with these Terms and the Rider Agreement.

4.2 Prohibited Uses

You may not:

• Modify, alter, disassemble, reverse-engineer, or tamper with the Vertbox hardware or software
• Attempt to circumvent the anti-theft lock or GPS tracking
• Cover, obscure, or deface the LED display while the device is powered on
• Remove the Vertbox from your assigned vehicle without authorization
• Use the Vertbox on any vehicle other than your registered vehicle
• Display any content other than what is served by Wandervert's advertising platform
• Interfere with the device's 4G connectivity or GPS signal
• Use the Vertbox in any manner that violates applicable law

4.3 Vehicle Requirements

You are responsible for ensuring your vehicle is:

• Legally registered and insured as required by Georgia law
• In safe operating condition
• Compatible with the Vertbox universal mount

5. Earnings

5.1 How Earnings Are Calculated

You earn money based on the number of verified ad impressions generated while the Vertbox is powered on and mounted on your registered vehicle. Earnings rates vary based on:

• Geographic zone (certain Atlanta neighborhoods have higher ad rates)
• Time of day and day of week
• Active riding (the device must be in motion; stationary display for extended periods may not qualify)
• Advertiser demand and campaign budgets

5.2 Earnings Are Estimates

Any earnings figures displayed on our website, app, or marketing materials are estimates based on historical data and are not guarantees of future income. Your actual earnings may be higher or lower.

5.3 Disbursement

Earnings are calculated weekly (Monday through Sunday) and disbursed on the following Monday to your designated payment method. You are responsible for any taxes owed on earnings. Wandervert does not withhold taxes. We will provide you with a 1099 form if your annual earnings meet the IRS reporting threshold.

5.4 No Guarantee of Earnings

Wandervert does not guarantee any minimum level of earnings. Earnings depend on factors outside our control, including your riding habits, routes, advertiser demand, and market conditions.

6. Advertising Content

6.1 Advertiser Content

Advertisements displayed on the Vertbox are provided by third-party advertisers. Wandervert does not endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for the accuracy, legality, or quality of any advertised product or service.

6.2 Ad Selection

You have no control over which advertisements are displayed on your Vertbox. Ads are selected automatically based on your geographic location and advertiser campaign parameters.

6.3 Content Guidelines

Wandervert maintains content guidelines for advertisers and reserves the right to reject any advertisement that is illegal, misleading, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate. However, we do not warrant that all displayed ads will meet your personal standards.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Our Intellectual Property

The Wandervert name, logo, Vertbox name, website, app, device firmware, and all related technology are the intellectual property of Wandervert. You may not use our trademarks, service marks, or branding without our prior written consent.

7.2 Your Content

You retain ownership of any content you submit to us (such as photos and vehicle information). By submitting content, you grant Wandervert a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that content for the purpose of providing and improving the Services.

8. Device Return

To return your Vertbox, provide at least 1 week's written notice. We will provide you with a prepaid shipping label, and you must return the device via that label.

If the Vertbox is returned damaged beyond normal wear and tear, is lost, or is stolen and not recovered, you may be charged a replacement fee of up to $250. This fee is at Wandervert's sole discretion based on the extent of damage. The damage insurance included in your rental does not cover intentional damage, theft due to negligence (e.g., leaving the device unsecured), or loss not reported within 24 hours.
