As an option, ryd pay gives you the option of purchasing and paying for fuel and goods at certain petrol stations directly via the ryd app. The conditions for ryd pay apply to these transactions. You can find details of the range of functions available on the ryd app on our website. 

2.2. Display of petrol station and fuel price data
When displaying petrol station and fuel price data in the ryd app (address, opening hours, prices for Super E5/E10 and diesel /B7), our service consists of displaying the corresponding data from the transmitting public authorities (e.g. in Germany Markttransparenzstelle), of OpenStreetMap and the petrol station operators. We are not responsible for the correctness and topicality of the data and do not assume any liability in this respect.

2.3. Changes in services
We reserve the right to further develop the ryd application and the services offered by ryd and to make changes for good cause. Such reason exists in particular if the change is necessary due to (i) a necessary adaptation to a new legal situation or jurisdiction, (ii) changed technical conditions (e.g. new operating system environment), or (iii) the protection of system security. In addition, we may also discontinue individual additional functions. However, we will not make any changes that would unreasonably shift the contractual balance between us and you at your expense.

We are obliged to support you in asserting your claims for defects against the acceptance point.

If the supplementary performance fails, whereby you generally grant two attempts at supplementary performance, you may withdraw from the relevant individual contract or reduce the purchase price or remuneration, in case of a contract for work and services you may also remedy the defect yourself against reimbursement of the expenses.
