Dealer Partner Agreement
Last updated: March 1, 2026
1. Partnership Overview
This Dealer Partner Agreement ("Agreement") is between Fleet Command ("Platform") and the undersigned automobile dealership ("Dealer"). This Agreement governs the terms under which Dealer supplies vehicles to Fleet Command's weekly car rental platform for rideshare and gig economy drivers.
2. Vehicle Supply Terms
2.1 Vehicle Requirements
- Vehicles must be model year 2015 or newer
- Vehicles must pass Fleet Command's inspection criteria
- Vehicles must have clean titles (no salvage, rebuilt, or flood titles)
- Vehicles must be registered and insured in North Carolina
- Vehicles must have a valid MVR-330 form completed and signed
2.2 Vehicle Limit
Initial vehicle limit is set during onboarding and may be increased by Fleet Command based on performance, demand, and platform capacity. Requests for limit increases must be submitted through the dealer dashboard.
3. Compensation Structure
3.1 Weekly Dealer Fee
Dealers receive a weekly fee for each actively rented vehicle, determined by the renter's pricing tier at booking time:
- Starter tier: $50/week per vehicle
- Standard tier: $75/week per vehicle
- Pro tier: $100/week per vehicle
Fleet Command retains $300/week per vehicle as the platform fee. The dealer fee is locked at the renter's booking time and does not change during the rental.
3.2 Payout Schedule
Dealer payouts are processed weekly on Monday via Stripe Connect. Payouts include a per-vehicle breakdown showing each vehicle, its rental, pricing tier, and fee amount.
3.3 Vehicle Payoff
A total payoff amount is established for each vehicle based on 70% of fair market value (or admin override). Weekly dealer fees accumulate toward this payoff. Once fully paid off, the vehicle title transfers to Fleet Command, and the dealer no longer receives weekly fees for that vehicle.
4. Dealer Responsibilities
- Process vehicle pickups and returns per Fleet Command's checkout/return procedures
- Document vehicle condition with photos at every pickup and return
- Verify renter identity and confirmation code at pickup
- Report any vehicle issues, damage, or renter concerns promptly
- Maintain Stripe Connect account in good standing for payout processing
- Provide basic vehicle maintenance support (oil changes, tire rotations) or referral to qualified mechanics
5. Platform Responsibilities
- Process renter applications, verification, and background checks
- Handle all billing, payment collection, and escalation
- Maintain the platform, website, and mobile applications
- Provide GPS tracking devices and monitoring
- Handle renter communication and support
- Process dealer payouts weekly via Stripe Connect
6. Stripe Connect
Dealer payouts are processed through Stripe Connect Express accounts. Dealers must complete Stripe onboarding, including identity verification and bank account setup, before receiving payouts. Dealers are responsible for any Stripe fees applied to their payouts.
7. Termination
Either party may terminate this Agreement with 30 days written notice. Upon termination:
- Active rentals on dealer vehicles will be transitioned or ended
- Outstanding payouts will be processed within 14 business days
- Vehicles not fully paid off will be returned to the dealer
- Vehicles fully paid off remain Fleet Command property
8. Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
