1Overview
Rydiqo® is an online marketplace where individuals and businesses can buy and sell electric bikes, scooters, trikes, and accessories. Rydiqo® also sells products directly.
When a product is marked "Sold by Rydiqo®", Rydiqo® is the seller. Otherwise, the seller is a third party and Rydiqo® acts as a facilitator.
Rydiqo® is operated by RYDIQO LTD (Company No. 16588051), 4th Floor, Silverstream House, 45 Fitzroy Street, Fitzrovia, London, England, W1T 6EB.
2Eligibility

- Buyers may check out as guests or create an account.
- Users may not operate more than one account without express written permission.
- You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account.
4Marketplace role
Unless otherwise stated (i.e., "Sold by Rydiqo®"), Rydiqo® does not own, inspect, store, or ship items listed by third-party sellers. Rydiqo® does not guarantee the truthfulness of any listings.
Sellers are solely responsible for:
- The accuracy of their listings
- Ensuring items are legal and not stolen
- Fulfilling delivery obligations
- Honoring buyer protection rights
Rydiqo® may remove listings at its sole discretion, including for suspected fraud, misrepresentation, or non-compliance with these Terms.

- Related parts — wheels, batteries, chargers, helmets, conversion kits, accessories
You may not:
- List stolen or counterfeit goods
- Mislead buyers about condition
- Circumvent platform fees or policies
- Contact users outside Rydiqo® — all communication must remain on-platform

- $0–$499: 12%
- $500–$1,499: 10%

6.2 Payout timelines:
- Private sellers (under 5 active listings): payouts released within 24 hours of confirmed delivery.
- Business sellers: payouts released within 72 hours of order completion.
Rydiqo® reserves the right to determine seller status and may delay payouts in cases of dispute, fraud review, or buyer complaint. See Payouts for full detail.
7Payments & chargebacks
Payments are processed via Shopify Payments, Stripe, and Klarna. Buyers may choose to pay in full or in installments where available.
Chargebacks are strictly prohibited unless legally justified. If a buyer files a chargeback:
- Rydiqo® will submit all evidence to the payment processor.
- If the claim is rejected and Rydiqo® incurs a loss, the buyer agrees to repay the full amount immediately.
- Rydiqo® reserves the right to engage debt collection agencies to recover lost funds and pass on legal and administrative costs.
Buyers who initiate fraudulent chargebacks may have accounts banned and be subject to civil action.
7ALimited Payment Collection Agent
- Appointment. Sellers appoint RYDIQO LTD as their limited payment collection agent solely to accept and process funds from buyers for purchases made on Rydiqo®.
- Effect of buyer payment. Payment made by a buyer to Rydiqo® (or to a payment service provider used by Rydiqo®) is deemed payment made directly to the seller and fully discharges the buyer's payment obligation for the applicable order.
- Remittance and deductions. Rydiqo® may deduct commissions, fees, refunds, chargebacks, adjustments, applicable taxes/withholdings, and any other sums due to Rydiqo® before remitting the balance to the seller's nominated payout method.
- Refunds & chargebacks. Sellers authorise Rydiqo® to issue refunds on their behalf where required under these Terms, our policies, card-scheme or payment-network rules, applicable law, or final dispute outcomes, and to debit/withhold such amounts from current or future payouts.
- No trust or fiduciary relationship. Rydiqo®'s role does not create a trust, escrow, custodial, or fiduciary relationship. No interest accrues on amounts held prior to payout.
- KYC/AML & compliance. Rydiqo® and its payment partners may require identity, KYC/AML, or tax information (for U.S. sellers, this may include an IRS Form W-9, and Rydiqo® or its partners may issue an IRS Form 1099-K where required). Payouts may be delayed, suspended, or refused where verification is pending, fraud or policy breach is suspected, or as required by law or payment-network rules.
- Failed payouts. If a payout fails or is returned, Rydiqo® may attempt repayment to the same or another verified payout method. Sellers are responsible for accurate bank details and any related fees.
- Scope. This agency is limited to transactions concluded on Rydiqo®. Rydiqo® does not guarantee buyer payment and is not liable for bank or buyer failure or events beyond its reasonable control.
- Survival. This agency appointment survives account suspension or closure to permit handling of refunds, chargebacks, reversals, and final settlement for prior transactions.
8Delivery policy
Sellers are responsible for delivery unless stated otherwise. All deliveries must:
- Include valid tracking, or
- Be confirmed by the buyer via in-platform confirmation
Examples of valid confirmation include a tracking link, buyer delivery confirmation, signed receipt, or delivery photo. Sellers failing to provide tracking or confirmation may have payouts delayed or reversed.
See Shipping Policy for full delivery terms.
9Disputes & Buyer Protection
Buyers may raise disputes within 48 hours of confirmed delivery for:
- Items not received
- Items significantly not as described
- Items arriving damaged (excluding pre-disclosed faults)
Rydiqo® will review evidence from both buyer and seller. Rydiqo®'s resolution is final. This includes the right to refund the buyer, hold payouts, or remove users from the platform.
Sellers agree that Rydiqo®'s decision is binding, and waive claims against Rydiqo® for dispute outcomes. See Dispute Resolution Policy.
10Returns & refunds
Under U.S. law there is no automatic right to cancel or return an online order simply because you changed your mind — the FTC Cooling-Off Rule does not apply to internet purchases. Returns are offered only where the applicable return policy provides, or where required by applicable law.
- "Sold by Rydiqo®" items: follow the return policy stated at checkout.
- Marketplace sellers: may set their own return policies, provided they comply with applicable U.S. federal and state consumer-protection laws.
- Always covered: items that do not arrive, arrive damaged, or are significantly not as described are covered by Rydiqo® Buyer Protection regardless of the return policy — report within 48 hours of delivery.
Where a return is granted, the buyer must return the item in the agreed condition and timeframe; failure to do so may void the refund. See the full Refund & Return Policy.
11Content ownership & listings
Sellers retain full ownership of any images, text, or video content they upload.
However, by posting content on Rydiqo®, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and promote your listings on and off the platform (e.g., in ads, emails, or SEO).
12Platform availability & limitation of liability
We strive for 99.9% uptime but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We are not liable for:
- Loss of profits or revenue
- Missed sales opportunities
- Platform errors, outages, or bugs
- User mistakes (e.g., wrong address entry)
- Behavior of other users
Our liability is limited to the amount paid to us in fees in the past 30 days before any claim.
13Account suspension & termination
Rydiqo® may suspend, hold payouts, or permanently ban users without prior notice for:
- Violations of these Terms
- Suspected fraud or illegal activity
- Refusal to cooperate with a dispute
- Attempts to bypass platform policies
Sellers agree that Rydiqo® may withhold funds or release refunds in cases of dispute, policy breach, or abuse.
14Debt recovery & enforcement
If a user (buyer or seller) owes Rydiqo® money — including chargeback losses, unpaid fees, or settlement adjustments — they agree to:
- Pay the outstanding amount within 7 days of notice
- Be responsible for all third-party recovery costs, including debt collection agency fees, legal costs, and interest
Failure to pay may result in credit reporting and legal enforcement.
15Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on the site and take effect immediately unless otherwise stated. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance.
16Governing law & jurisdiction
These Terms and any dispute arising from them or your use of Rydiqo® are governed by the laws of England and Wales, where Rydiqo® is established. Subject to the arbitration terms below, the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction.
Additional terms for users in the United States. The following applies if you access Rydiqo® from, or reside in, the United States, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Nothing here removes any right you cannot legally waive under the consumer-protection laws of your home state.
- Informal resolution first. Before starting arbitration, you agree to contact us through our contact page and allow 60 days to resolve the matter informally.
- Binding individual arbitration (FAA). If unresolved, any dispute will be settled by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. This agreement to arbitrate is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1–16).
- No class actions; jury-trial waiver. Disputes are arbitrated on an individual basis only. You and Rydiqo® waive any right to a jury trial and to take part in a class, collective, or representative action.
- Small-claims exception. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in a small-claims court that has jurisdiction.
- Hearing location. Arbitration is conducted by phone or video where possible, or in the county where you live, so you need not travel unreasonably.
- 30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by notifying us through our contact page; opting out does not affect the rest of these Terms.
If the class-action waiver is held unenforceable, the rest of this arbitration agreement will be void as to the affected claims, which will proceed in the courts identified above.
