Definitions
In this section, we expand the list of definitions to include terms such as “Lease Term,” “Security Deposit,” “Maintenance and Replacement Costs,” among others, providing clear and precise explanations for each.
- Lease Term: The period during which the lease agreement is in effect, typically set at 12 or 24 months from the date a product is enrolled into the TRYGVE Leasing Program. This term determines the duration for which the member commits to leasing their product through TRYGVE.
- Security Deposit: A monetary deposit collected from the lessee at the beginning of the lease term as a security measure to cover potential damages, theft, or failure to return the leased product. The deposit is equivalent to the product’s value and is intended to protect the leased assets during the rental period.
- Maintenance and Replacement Costs: Expenses related to the upkeep, repair, or replacement of leased products. Maintenance costs cover routine servicing to ensure the product remains in optimal condition, while replacement costs refer to expenses incurred to replace a product in case of irreparable damage or loss.
- Member: An individual or entity that has agreed to the terms and conditions of the TRYGVE Leasing Program and has enrolled one or more products into the program. Members are entitled to revenue generated from leasing their products and are responsible for adhering to program policies.
- Lessee: The individual or entity that enters into a lease agreement with TRYGVE to rent a member’s product. Lessees can be categorized into B2B (Business-to-Business) customers, such as other leasing companies, or B2C (Business-to-Consumer) customers, the end users of the leased products.
- Lease Agreement: A contract between TRYGVE and the lessee that outlines the terms and conditions of the product lease, including the lease term, payment schedule, responsibilities regarding product care, and conditions for product return.
- Revenue Sharing: The distribution of income generated from leasing activities between TRYGVE and the member. The specific percentage of revenue allocated to the member is determined by the agreement and is based on factors such as the product type and market demand.
- B2B Customer: A business entity that leases products from TRYGVE for use in its operations or for sub-leasing to its own customers. B2B customers typically include other leasing companies, businesses in need of equipment, and service providers.
- B2C Customer: An individual consumer who leases products directly from TRYGVE for personal or household use. B2C customers form the end-user segment of the leasing market.
- Product Buyback: A provision in the lease agreement where TRYGVE commits to purchasing the leased product back from the member at the end of the lease term, based on predetermined criteria such as the original purchase price minus applicable taxes, shipping, and handling fees.
- Early Termination Penalty: A fee charged to the member if they choose to retrieve their product or terminate the lease agreement before the completion of the agreed lease term. The penalty is a percentage of the product’s original purchase price, intended to compensate for potential financial losses incurred by TRYGVE due to the early termination.

Product Selection and Leasing Process
Product Selection Standards
The TRYGVE Leasing Program accepts a variety of products purchased from the ROFNY platform for management and leasing. However, to ensure the quality and safety of leased products, all products included in the leasing program must meet the following conditions:
- Product Condition: Products must be newly purchased and unused or second-hand but without any damage; signs of use are acceptable.
- Quality Assurance: Products should have a manufacturer’s quality guarantee or relevant certification (if available).
- Applicability: Certain categories of products may be ineligible for the leasing program due to safety, legal, or brand restrictions.
Contract Term
The lease contract term between TRYGVE and members for each product is set at 24 months, calculated from the date the product is enrolled in the leasing program.
Leasing Process
Joining the TRYGVE Leasing Program involves the following steps:
- Product Selection: Members can check if a product qualifies for the leasing program while selecting and purchasing it on the ROFNY platform.
- Enrollment in the Leasing Program: At the checkout page, members will see an option to enroll the purchased product in the TRYGVE Leasing Program. Selecting this option and completing the purchase process indicates that the product will be included in the program, and members need to fill in TRYGVE’s warehouse address as the delivery address.
- Product Review and Receipt: After the purchase, TRYGVE will review the product upon receipt to ensure it meets all leasing eligibility standards. Once approved, TRYGVE will accept the product, begin the management and maintenance process, and prepare the product for leasing.
- Revenue Distribution: When a product is leased and generates revenue, members will receive earnings according to the agreed revenue distribution ratio in this agreement. TRYGVE will make regular payments of these earnings through the payment method specified by members in the system.
Responsibilities of Parties
- Accurate Information: ROFNY is responsible for providing accurate product information and proof of purchase to enable TRYGVE to review and accept the product.
- Compliance with Terms: Members participating in the leasing program must ensure compliance with all relevant terms and conditions, including but not limited to product maintenance and damage handling provisions.
By defining a clear product selection and leasing process, TRYGVE aims to provide members with a transparent and efficient platform, allowing them to easily include products in the leasing program while ensuring their earnings and product safety. This process not only boosts members’ confidence in the leasing program but also helps TRYGVE maintain high-quality leasing services.
Financial Terms
Revenue Distribution
The TRYGVE Leasing Program aims to offer members the opportunity to generate passive income through their purchased products. Here are the key terms of revenue distribution:
- Revenue Ratio: Members will receive 70%~75% of the revenue from the leasing income of their products.
- Payment Cycle: Revenue will be calculated monthly and settled quarterly, with payments made to members on a fixed date each quarter. TRYGVE will make payments through electronic transfer or another payment method chosen by members.
- Revenue Report: TRYGVE will provide detailed revenue reports, including the number of leases, the amount of revenue, and deductions for management fees.
Costs and Expenses
Participation in the TRYGVE Leasing Program may involve some additional costs, which members should understand and anticipate:
- Management Fee: TRYGVE will charge a certain percentage of management fees to cover the expenses of product management, maintenance, and the leasing process. Management fees will be deducted from the generated leasing revenue.
- Maintenance and Replacement Costs: For damage caused by leasing activities, TRYGVE will be responsible for initial repairs. If a product requires significant repair or replacement due to damage, related costs will be borne by TRYGVE, requesting reimbursement from the lessee.
Tax Responsibility
Members are responsible for the tax liability on earnings obtained from the TRYGVE Leasing Program. Members should declare and pay any applicable taxes themselves. TRYGVE recommends consulting with tax experts to ensure compliance with all relevant tax regulations.
Payment Conditions
- Delayed Payment: In special circumstances, such as payment system failures or banking issues, payments may be delayed. TRYGVE will resolve these issues as quickly as possible and complete the payment.
- Payment Disputes: If members have disputes regarding the revenue report or payment amount, they should contact their customer relationship manager or TRYGVE within 30 days of receiving the payment.
Buyback at Term Expiration
Contract Expiration Buyback Commitment: At the end of the 12-month or 24-month lease contract term, TRYGVE commits to buy back the product from the member at the price of purchase (after deducting applicable taxes, shipping fees, and handling charges). This buyback clause is intended to provide members with an end-value guarantee, ensuring a certain level of return on their investment. Members may also choose to retrieve the product for their disposal.
Right of First Refusal and Automatic Buyback: TRYVGE reserves the right of first refusal to buy back the product before the lease contract expires. If the member does not request the retrieval of the product within 30 days before the contract’s expiration, it will be automatically assumed that TRYVGE will buy back the product, unless TRYVGE notifies the member via email or postal mail of its decision not to exercise this buyback right. In such cases, the member may retrieve the product. If the member requests product retrieval within 30 days before contract expiration, TRYVGE will assess whether to exercise its right of first purchase. If TRYVGE opts to exercise this right, the member is obligated to sell the product back to TRYVGE.
By setting clear financial terms, the TRYGVE Leasing Program aims to provide members with a transparent and fair opportunity to generate income, while ensuring that the costs of management and operation are reasonably covered. Members should read and understand all financial terms thoroughly to ensure their interests are protected and comply with relevant legal and tax regulations.

Maintenance and Repairs
- Regular Maintenance: TRYGVE will perform regular maintenance on products to ensure they remain in good operational condition and appearance.

- Feedback on Issues: Members should promptly report any issues related to product management or the leasing process to TRYGVE for timely resolution.
