Remember
- You must be over 18 years old to use Ryde in the Ruter app.
- Ryde's own terms and conditions apply in addition to the terms on this page when you travel with an e-scooter in the Ruter app.
Definitions
In this Agreement, the following words and terms may be understood as follows:
Prohibition Zone means the areas defined and designated in the Ruter app where vehicles cannot be deactivated. As you cannot reactivate a vehicle once it has been deactivated in such an area, you should avoid such an area as far as possible, as non-compliance may result in additional costs.
Operating Zone means the areas defined and designated in the Ruter app where the vehicles can be activated, used, temporarily parked and deactivated.
Data Protection Declaration means the privacy statement on Ruter's processing of personal data.
See privacy policy for the use of e-scooters
Vehicle means Ryde's electric vehicles, such as e-scooters or e-bikes.
Contact Details means first name, surname, e-mail address, cell phone number, and valid payment information.
Ryde's Terms and Conditions apply in addition to the terms and conditions on this page.
To rent a Ryde vehicle in the Ruter app, you must first create a Ruter profile. Only correctly registered customers can use Ryde's offer in the Ruter app.
It is only when the registration process – which requires the customer to enter contact details (first name, surname, e-mail address, cell phone number and valid payment information) and also accept the terms of the agreement – that a user agreement is valid for driving an electric scooter or electric bicycle between you as a customer and Ruter.
The profile you have created in the Ruter app only applies to Ruter's own app. The profile is not valid in Ryde's app and cannot be transferred. Rides made in the Ruter app can be managed by Ryde's customer service office (for example, terminating rides due to technical errors). Ryde does not have access to customer details beyond mandatory situations where Ruter gives specific access to them.
Generalities
Using the Ruter app, you can use Ryde's offer in Oslo. That means you can find an e-scooter or e-bike, start a ride, pause a ride, end a ride, and pay for the rent.
See Data Protection Declaration for the use of e-scooters in the Ruter app
Terms of use for the app
Ruter's Terms and Conditions for Travel apply to the agreement between the customer and Ruter as far as they apply. The following conditions also apply:
- It is not permitted to change or manipulate fixed content in the app.
- Any attempt to recreate the original source code for the software (known as reverse engineering) is strictly prohibited.
- Ruter's tickets and/or data made available by Ruter shall not be copied, transferred, traded and/or distributed in any way.
See terms and conditions for the Ruter app
Paying for the use of e-scooters and e-bikes
If you want to rent an e-scooter or e-bike in the Ruter app, you must:
- Have an approved payment method linked with your profile (debit/credit card).
- Have sufficient coverage during the purchase process so that you can pay the amount we charge for the rental.
- Pay the rental fee.
The rent consists of an amount payable to unlock Ryde's vehicle, and an amount payable for each minute, or part of the minute, in which Ryde's vehicle is in use. Prior to entering into the rental contract, the Ruter App will display the amount of unlocking Ryde's vehicle and the amount incurred per minute. The amounts include mandatory value added tax.
Ruter will reserve an amount directly from your bank card/credit card in connection with your use of the vehicle. The rent is due for payment when the rental agreement ends. Then the actual price of the trip is calculated and the reserved amount is adjusted to the calculated cost. If the full reserved amount is not used during your next trip, the reserved amount will be released after the trip. You understand that the release of the withheld amount may take a few business days due to the processing of the amount by banks and/or other third parties. At the start of the rental, the Ruter app will reserve an amount up to NOK 200.
If the use of Ryde's vehicle according to the rental agreement is not possible, even if the Ryde vehicle is marked as available in the Ruter app, you will not be charged for the rental.
Payment for use of Ryde's vehicles will be handled in accordance with processing of the payment option (card payment) you have chosen when registering your Ruter profile. By concluding a rental agreement, you confirm that Ruter has the right to authorise the transfer of the specified account by direct debit.
If you do not have sufficient funds beyond the reserved amount at the end of the rental, the reserved amount will be released after the trip and the entire total amount of the trip will be set as unpaid. The amount owed must be settled before you can ride an electric scooter in the Ruter app again. You also cannot delete the user profile in the Ruter app until outstanding amounts have been paid.
Reservation and conclusion of rental agreements
Use of a Ryde vehicle is only possible if it is marked in the Ruter app as available. It cannot be excluded that an inaccurate GPS signal may in some cases be the cause of a discrepancy between the actual location of the Ryde vehicle and the location shown in the App.
Ruter and Ryde can call the customer using the cell phone number stored in the user account if there are significant operational disruptions related to the customer's use of a vehicle.
Termination of the rental
Customers wishing to terminate the rental agreement must properly park the Ryde vehicle in accordance with Ryde's Terms and Conditions. You must then follow the procedure described in the Ruter app to cancel the agreement.
Customers must find information about zones for parking, the boundaries of a business area, and the zones where parking is prohibited in the Ruter app. You must take a picture of the e-scooter you used when parking at the end of your trip. The image should clearly show that you have parked the vehicle in accordance with the conclusion of the rental. The image should clearly show the entire vehicle and should not be blurry or otherwise unclear. We reserve the right to store this image to make sure you have parked as described during the conclusion of your rental. Read more about images when parking in The Data Protection Declaration for Rental of Micromobility Vehicles.
When the rental period ends, the total rental period and the total cost incurred will be shown to you. You will then be able to read the receipt for the rental period and the cost through their profile pages in Ruter's app. You can also send the receipt to yourself from the interface.
