@itzsenu yes, there's an identity check. We need an ID from you for the sponsorship contract, and the RIPE NCC checks it once as well. For that we send you a link from them where you verify yourself directly with the RIPE NCC.
Ok ok Thanks Lot.... ill try that out
Genuine question: with that “instant termination”, do you refund the unused portion of what the customer already paid, or is it just gone?
Also, you say you don’t care how people read it, but you just posted a whole PS explaining your policy. That’s exactly what your customers and potential customers want to know before they lease from you. So how it reads clearly matters, and a clear answer on refunds would matter even more.
If you rent a pre-paid car for 48h, but you end up getting caught using it as a gateway during a bank heist GTA style after just 24h, do you get a refund for the remaining 24h?
So that’s a “no”. Took a whole GTA plot to say a two-letter word, but I’ll take it.
Love the analogy though, let’s keep driving it. In real life the renter gets “caught” by the police, charged, and the car company finds out from the court. In your version the car company is the police, the judge and the jury, and also keeps the deposit. Convenient.
And what if nobody robbed anything? Someone calls the rental desk saying “I think I saw that car near a bank”, and the car gets towed mid-trip. Is there a phone call first, or just the tow truck?
That’s all prospective customers really want to know: who decides it’s a heist, and does the customer get a chance to explain before the keys are gone?
Not sure if its a great comparison. Rental cars usually have bonds/insurances for this exact reason.
I actually kinda doubt that if I rented a car and then used it as a gateway car for robbing a bank the car dealership will care at all let alone forcefully take it back mid rental period. They will simply forward you on any speeding fines associated and if the car gets damaged, they probably wont give you back the bond you paid for it,
And if I paid extra $ for the all coverage insurance, they will care even less I suspect.
Note: The above is just my theory/opinion about car rentals. I have not, nor plan to, tested this theory out
Sure it was a more plastic way of telling what it's pretty obvious to anyone rational: Using one's service against their ToS does not qualify for a refund (which is also mentioned in the ToS). Else I would rent out IPs like crazy, spam 10 days the shit out of them, then ask for a refund for the remaining 20 days.
In our situation - like I'd guess yours is as well (but correct me if I am wrong) - you won't refund a guy after you get an official authority request to stop providing the service.
If the FBI call my car rental company and says I used it for a bank heist, so they use self-driving to bring it back to their lot in the middle of my rental period, and three years later the FBI admits it was the wrong car...
Unfortunately we don't live in a world where we can go rogue on authorities, just because our client swears he's legit.
