Terms of use

Preamble:

  • By using the website www.swissryde.ch (the Site) or Swiss Ryde Rider/Driver (the Application), you agree to the following terms and conditions (the General Conditions) stated below.

Access to the Website and your profile in our database:

  • Swiss Ryde is a platform that offers services, business management and innovation advice, and occasionally promotes all users: clients/drivers. The following terms and conditions apply to any access and use of our Site including individual profiles as well as any other associated content available on this platform. Your use of our Site and/or the Application constitutes your solemn consent to abide by the terms and conditions below, as well as any timely notified amendments.

Disclaimer:

  • Swiss Ryde assumes no responsibility for the content, accuracy, timeliness, reliability, or completeness of the information displayed, or that displayed due to misuse of the Site or produced by technical failures beyond our control.
  • In accordance with our General Conditions and your consent upon acceptance of these conditions, it is important to note that Swiss Ryde is a virtual platform designed to facilitate bilateral connection between passengers and drivers; therefore, from a legal standpoint, Swiss Ryde disclaims any liability for any event, of any nature, occurring between the two parties before, during, or after a trip booked through our platform. We encourage you to consult our General Conditions for more information regarding the responsibilities and obligations of each party.

Responsibility for links: 

  • While we are very careful in displaying links on our Site and Applications, the use of references and links to third-party websites is entirely at the user’s own risk and is not the responsibility of Swiss Ryde, which disclaims any liability.
  • Furthermore, you are not authorized to create links to our platform from any other website without obtaining prior written permission from us.

Copyright:

  • Copyright and all other rights to the content, images, photos, or other files of the Site and Applications belong exclusively to Swiss Ryde, its shareholders, partner organizations, or expressly named rights holders. For the reproduction of any element, written consent must be obtained in advance from the copyright holder.

Access to the service:

  • Although we strive to ensure the availability of our Site/Application at all times, we will not be liable in the event that our system should be temporarily suspended without notice due to force majeure, maintenance, repair, or for any other reason beyond our control. In such a situation, we will endeavor to restore all system services as soon as possible.

Lawful Use Policy:

  • You may only use our site for lawful purposes that do not infringe upon, either local, national, or international laws or regulations, such as, but not limited to:
  • Engaging in any deliberately illegal or fraudulent activity, or having an illegal or fraudulent purpose or effect, to transmit, or cause to be sent, any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or promotional material or any other form of similar solicitation (spam), either to us, to any person whose contact details are published on our site, or to any person whose contact details you subsequently acquire through our partner matchmaking services.
  • Not reproducing, duplicating, copying, or reselling any part of our site in violation of the terms accepted in the General Conditions.
  • Not sending automated queries of any kind through our site without our express prior authorization. Automated queries include attempts to collect email addresses or business websites using robots or spam spiders.
  • In case of dispute, Swiss law will be applied, regardless of the jurisdiction of the country of your residence or the location of the offense. Your consent includes your irrevocable acceptance that Swiss courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising from, in accordance with, or in connection with these terms of use, and you agree to irrevocably submit to the decisions made under Swiss law. Any legal proceedings shall take place in Geneva, Switzerland.

Bilateral Cancellation and Penalty Policy:

  • Abusive cancellations that disregard the passenger’s time will result in the deactivation of your account on the platform.
  • Similarly, this applies to the cancellation of a booking made and confirmed with the client, which occurs beyond the tolerance period set at 3 minutes.
  • Essentially, you either cancel the trip before the 3-minute mark where cancellation is allowed, or you proceed with it and take responsibility after the 3 minutes.
  • All cancellations incur charges after three minutes during which the driver is en route to the passenger. The costs depend on the time spent and the kilometers traveled.
  • The passenger pays 0.50 CHF per minute of waiting time.
  • Cancellation fees will be charged if you cancel the trip after the timer expires. The total fare excludes road toll taxes and may change if your journey takes longer due to traffic or other factors. If you cancel after 3 minutes and the driver has accepted the trip, cancellation fees will apply.
  • Before accepting a trip, you have sufficient time to read the trip information and details. Once the driver accepts it, a contract is established, and cancellation beyond the tolerance period will be considered fraudulent and abusive.
Here are the payment instructions for Drivers & Riders using the SwissRyde platform:
  • The driver is responsible for collecting the fare, even if the payment is made by credit card. It’s important for both the client and the driver to read the messages displayed when the driver finishes the trip. The client must also complete any required actions in the app: payment, rating, or adding the driver to favorites, etc.
  • The client should not exit the vehicle until both the driver and the client have completed the trip on the app and payment has been made, whether by credit card, wallet, or soon, cash.
  • Payment must be made on the spot through the app, with both the driver and the passenger proceeding with payment and finalizing the trip in the app.
  • During the first use, the client should take the time to experience the service, make the payment, and add the driver to favorites before ending the trip.
  • If the client fails to make the payment, the driver will never receive their weekly earnings, and SwissRyde is not held responsible.
  • SwissRyde’s system operates similar to taxi counter, with fares displayed on the app’s counter according to the displayed prices.
  • These guidelines clarify the payment process and emphasize the importance for clients to finalize payment through the app so that the driver can receive their weekly earnings from SwissRyde.
