Terms of Service

As part of the permit application process, parents and legal guardians are required to complete a written attestation certifying the accuracy of the information submitted and their legal authority to enroll the student.

Legal effect of attestation.

The attestation constitutes a legally binding declaration. By completing the attestation, the parent or legal guardian certifies under penalty of perjury under California law (Penal Code §118) that the information provided is true, correct, and complete to the best of their knowledge. Submitting false or misleading information may constitute perjury and may result in immediate permit revocation, account termination, and referral to appropriate authorities.

Electronic signature.

The typed name entered by the parent or legal guardian at the conclusion of the attestation constitutes a valid electronic signature under the California Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), Civil Code §1633.1 et seq., and has the same legal force and effect as a handwritten signature. By typing their name, the parent or legal guardian expressly agrees that they intend this act to serve as their electronic signature.

What constitutes a valid signature.

A valid attestation requires: (a) the parent or legal guardian to have read the full attestation text; (b) entry of the parent or legal guardian's legal name in the signature field; and (c) submission of the completed permit application. All three elements must be present for the attestation to be valid.

Liability shift.

By completing the attestation, the parent or legal guardian assumes full responsibility for the accuracy of all information submitted, including but not limited to: the student's identity, age, grade, school enrollment, and e-bike make, model, class, and serial number. LexBran Group, LLC d/b/a RidePermit relies on the accuracy of parent-submitted information and shall not be liable for any harm, loss, or legal consequence arising from false, inaccurate, or misleading information provided during the application process.

Record retention.

RidePermit retains a timestamped record of each completed attestation, including the typed signature, submission date and time, and IP address, for the duration of the permit plus seven years. This record may be used in any legal, administrative, or regulatory proceeding relating to the permit or the student's e-bike use.

Parental authority.

By completing the attestation, the parent or legal guardian represents and warrants that they are the legal parent or guardian of the student being enrolled, that they have authority to bind the student to the terms of the permit, and that they are at least 18 years of age. Creating an account or submitting an attestation on behalf of a student for whom the submitter has no legal guardianship may constitute fraud.

Permit fees are displayed before checkout. The fee for a new permit is $25; the renewal fee is $15.

Refunds.

You may request a full refund of the permit fee within 30 days of payment for any reason. To request a refund, contact support@ridepermit.com with your permit number. Refunds are processed within 5–10 business days to the original payment method. The refund includes the full fee paid. RidePermit does not require return of any printed decal or other materials.

Refund and data deletion.

A refund request includes the option to delete your child's data from RidePermit's systems. If you request both a refund and data deletion, the permit record is removed from RidePermit's active database within 5 business days and from backups within 30 days, subject to any legal retention requirements. If you request only a refund and not deletion, the permit record is marked refunded and inactive but retained for audit purposes for seven years from the date of issuance, as described in the Privacy Policy.

After 30 days.

After 30 days from payment, the permit fee is non-refundable. If your circumstances change and you no longer need the permit, you may request that we mark it inactive; data deletion requests outside the 30-day window are honored on the same terms described above.

Renewal fees follow the same refund policy as new permit fees.

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. RidePermit does not guarantee that a permit prevents accidents or satisfies every local ordinance. Riders remain responsible for following all applicable laws.

Regulatory Alignment Notice: RidePermit is designed to help school districts establish defensible e-bike permit programs aligned with California e-bike law, including AB 544 (reflectors / lighting, eff. Jan 1, 2026), SB 1271 (battery certification, eff. Jan 1, 2026), CVC §312.5 (e-bike class definitions), CVC §21213(b) (Class 3 minimum age), and applicable local ordinances. RidePermit makes no representation that any district program is automatically compliant with any specific statute; the platform supports the district's own legal determinations.
