Terms of Use
Last updated: 25 October 2026
RideKit is published by SZ CORP, the trade name of Yassine Latrach, sole proprietor (entrepreneur individuel, EI) — see the legal notice (in French). By installing or using RideKit, you accept the terms below. If you disagree, do not use the app. The French version (Conditions d’utilisation) prevails.
1. What RideKit is
RideKit is a motorcycle riding app. It generates loops from the length and road style you choose, draws routes from one place to another, guides you, imports and exports GPX tracks, shows places along the way (passes, sights, fuel stations, cafés), the weather and rain radar, speed limits and, in France, danger zones. It keeps your ride journal and your bike’s records, and offers crash detection.
These features depend on GPS, the network and third-party services (section 9). They may change, be added or be removed.
2. On the road, you are the one riding
- The Highway Code, road signs and instructions from the police always prevail over what the app shows or announces.
- A route is a suggestion. It may use a road that is closed, under works, in poor condition, unpaved, closed to traffic or unsuited to your bike, your skills or the weather. Judge for yourself, and turn back if needed.
- A “twisty” loop is not an invitation to ride fast. Adapt your speed to the road, visibility, traffic and weather.
- Don’t handle your phone while riding. Plan your ride when stopped, put the phone on a suitable mount, and only listen to announcements with equipment allowed where you ride (for instance a helmet-integrated kit in France).
- You alone are responsible for your riding, your licence, your insurance and your bike’s condition.
3. Data that may be wrong or late
Everything RideKit shows is for guidance only: routes, distances, durations, speed limits, danger zones, weather, radar, fuel prices, places and opening hours, elevations, maps. This data comes from third-party sources (section 9) and may be incomplete, inaccurate or outdated: a limit that changed, a wrong forecast, a radar showing the last hours’ images with a delay, a price a station didn’t update.
Location and speed come from GPS. They may be imprecise (tunnels, valleys, city centres); the speed shown may differ from your speedometer and proves nothing in a roadside check. On some routes (imported tracks, fallback route), the speed limit is unknown: the app then shows none.
4. Danger zones and speed cameras
In France (mainland and overseas departments), RideKit announces “danger zones”, as French regulation provides (article R413-15 of the Code de la route): a stretch of road of at least 300 m in town, 2 km outside built-up areas and 4 km on motorways, never giving a camera’s location or type. They are computed from the official list of fixed speed cameras published by the Ministry of the Interior on data.gouv.fr. This list may be incomplete or lag behind reality (cameras added, moved or removed), and contains neither mobile cameras nor police checks: no alert does not mean no check.
Everywhere else — Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Canada and every other country — RideKit announces neither danger zones nor cameras. In some countries, such as Switzerland, warning of speed checks is prohibited. The app decides by the road’s country: when it is unknown, nothing is announced. Only the overspeed beep remains available, where the limit is known.
RideKit is not a radar detector. Alerts are turned off in Réglages › Alertes.
5. Crash detection
Crash detection is an aid, not an emergency service. It replaces neither emergency services nor a certified alert device. In an emergency, call 112 (Europe, including Switzerland) or 911 (Canada).
- It is off until you turn it on, and only works during a guided ride. Depending on the phone and its system, it may stop when the app is no longer on screen or is closed.
- A phone alone cannot recognise a crash for sure. It may miss a crash (a slow fall, the phone separated from the bike or rider, GPS lost, the phone damaged, a flat battery, the app closed) or report one wrongly.
- When it believes you crashed, an alarm rings, at the phone’s volume, and a countdown starts. Without an answer, a text with your location goes to your emergency contact. RideKit lets your close one know: it does not alert emergency services.
- To a French mobile number (the only ones served for now), this text, a single one, goes by itself, through RideKit’s server and Brevo, if the phone has a network (mobile data); without one, the app keeps trying for 5 minutes. Otherwise, or if that sending fails, the message is prepared in the messaging app and someone has to tap “Send” for it to go. In every case, sending depends on the mobile network, the battery, carriers and providers: a text may arrive late, or not at all. The server caps the number of texts a day, against abuse.
- RideKit doesn’t text your contact when you register them: it is up to you to tell them, with the text the app prepares for you, sent from your phone. Tell them they may receive an alert, check their number, and try the alert with the tests in the app; the test sent by RideKit’s server (“Tester l’envoi automatique”) is a RideKit Pro feature.
6. RideKit Pro (subscription)
RideKit is free, with a limited number of loops generated per month. RideKit Pro lifts this limit and unlocks the test of the crash alert’s automatic sending (“Tester l’envoi automatique”; the alert itself goes out for everyone). It may include other features, described in the app at the time of purchase. This section applies as soon as RideKit Pro is offered for purchase.
- Plans and prices: monthly or yearly, at the price shown in the app before you confirm the purchase, taxes included.
- Payment: charged to your App Store or Google Play account when you confirm the purchase, or at the end of the free trial.
- Free trial: if offered, its length is shown before purchase. Unless cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends, the subscription starts and is charged. Any unused portion of a trial is forfeited if you subscribe during it.
- Auto-renewal: the subscription renews for the same period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; renewal is charged within the 24 hours before that end.
- Manage or cancel: at any time, in your App Store or Google Play account settings (reachable from Réglages › Abonnement). Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.
- Refunds and withdrawal: payment is collected by Apple or Google; refund requests and the right of withdrawal are handled by them, under their terms.
- Price changes: announced to you under App Store or Google Play rules, and you can cancel before they apply.
- Restore purchases: on a new phone, with the same App Store or Google Play account.
7. Acceptable use
You agree to use RideKit for your personal use and lawfully; not to decompile or modify it, except where the law allows; and not to use it to bulk-extract the data of the third-party services it queries or to get around their limits.
8. Intellectual property
The app, the RideKit name, its logo, design and texts belong to SZ CORP. You receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use RideKit on devices you own or control, under App Store or Google Play rules. If you got RideKit from the App Store, Apple’s standard licence agreement also applies.
What you create or import (tracks, photos, notes) remains yours.
TomTom, App Store, Google Play and the other names mentioned are trademarks of their owners. RideKit is not affiliated with any of them.

10. Availability
RideKit depends on third-party services that may be slow, limited, changed or interrupted, and that we may replace; its alert server may be unavailable too, and the app then prepares the text on the phone. We do not guarantee that the app or each of its features is available at all times and everywhere, especially without a network: download a ride’s map before heading somewhere without coverage.
11. Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, SZ CORP is not liable for damage resulting from riding against the Highway Code or carelessly, from inaccurate or late data from a third-party source, from the unavailability of the app or a third-party service, from an undetected crash or an alert message not sent or not received, nor for indirect damage.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits SZ CORP’s liability for gross negligence, wilful misconduct or personal injury caused by its fault, nor the guarantees the law gives you as a consumer — in France, notably the legal guarantee of conformity of digital content and services (articles L224-25-12 et seq. of the Code de la consommation).
12. Personal data
What RideKit does with your data is described in the privacy policy.
13. Changes
These terms may change. The version in force is the one published on this page, at the date shown at the top. A significant change is announced in the app before it applies; if you disagree, you can stop using RideKit and cancel your subscription.
14. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer living in another country (Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Canada including Québec…), you keep the protection of your country’s mandatory rules and may go to the courts its law designates.
In case of disagreement, write to us first: we look for an amicable solution. You may also use a consumer mediator free of charge: [TO COMPLETE: name and contact details of the consumer mediator].
