Status: not in force #
This addendum is a pre-launch proposal and is not in force. It is NOT part of any agreement between you and Ride, creates no obligations, and waives no rights. Ride's Platform Terms of Use currently contain no arbitration provision, no class-action waiver, and no jury-trial waiver.
Decisions reserved for counsel #
- Whether to adopt individual arbitration at all, and for which claim types.
- Choice of arbitration administrator and rules, and the administrator's mailing address (no administrator may be named without a verified engagement).
- Fee allocation between the parties.
- Opt-out mechanics, including the opt-out window and the verified mailing or electronic address for opt-out notices.
- Carve-outs (for example, small-claims court and injunctive relief for IP misuse).
- Class-action and jury-trial waiver language and enforceability by jurisdiction.
- Interaction with transportation-worker exemptions under the Federal Arbitration Act for driver claims.
- Governing law and venue coordination with the Platform Terms.
What happens next #
If counsel approves a dispute-resolution program, this addendum will be completed with verified administrator details, published with a version number and effective date, and — where required — presented for acceptance. Until then, disputes are handled under the Platform Terms' informal-resolution provision and applicable law.
