This Host Agreement governs your participation as a vehicle host on the Rydemor platform, operated by Lithic Labs (Pvt) Ltd. By registering, listing a vehicle, or accepting a booking, you ("Host") agree to be legally bound by this Agreement.
Platform Role & Marketplace Status
Rydemor is a technology marketplace that facilitates introductions between vehicle owners ("Hosts") and renters ("Users").
Rydemor:
• Does not own, lease, or control listed vehicles
• Does not inspect vehicles
• Does not supervise rentals
• Is not a transportation provider
• Is not a rental operator
• Is not a party to rental agreements
All rental contracts are formed directly between Host and User.
Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, agency, partnership, franchise, joint venture, or fiduciary relationship between Rydemor and the Host. Hosts operate as independent providers.
Electronic Acceptance
This Agreement may be accepted electronically. By clicking "I Agree," listing a vehicle, or continuing to use the Platform, you provide legally binding electronic consent under applicable Sri Lankan law.
Electronic records shall be admissible as evidence of agreement.
Host Eligibility & Authority
You represent and warrant that:

• You are legally entitled to rent the vehicle
• The vehicle is registered in your name or lawfully controlled by you
• You have authority to bind any entity on whose behalf you act

Host Control Over Pricing & Availability
Hosts retain control over:
• Pricing

Any pricing tools provided by Rydemor are optional and do not create an agency relationship.
Mandatory Insurance Requirement
You must maintain a valid motor insurance policy that:
• Remains active throughout the listing period

Bookings & Rental Contract Formation
Upon booking confirmation:
• A binding rental contract forms directly between Host and User

Hosts may use supplemental rental documentation only if consistent with Platform policies.
Damage & Claims Procedure
In case of damage:
