What you're buying when you buy a seat.
Rydlnk sells a seat on a scheduled run, not a vehicle and not a private hire. The difference matters in a few specific places.
Draft — pending legal review. This summarises commitments Rydlnk already makes elsewhere on this site. It is not yet a binding agreement and must be reviewed against US federal and Utah law — including the Utah Consumer Privacy Act — before launch.
What a seat is
A seat is a place on a published run along a fixed corridor at a stated departure time. It is not an exclusive booking of the vehicle. Other people — including staff of other employers, where the corridor allows pooling — may occupy the other seats.
The fare is fixed
The seat price for a corridor and time band is published in advance and does not change with traffic, weather, demand or how many other seats sell. Rydlnk carries the difference between the seats sold and the cost of running the vehicle.
Changes and no-shows
You can change or cancel a trip up to the manifest lock, stated per corridor and currently four hours before departure. After the lock the seat is charged whether or not you travel, because the vehicle has been committed.
Employer-funded seats
Where an employer funds your seat, their credits are spent first and their policy sets what is covered — typically a distance or credit cap per trip. Anything above the cap comes off your own balance rather than being refused, and you are told before the trip is confirmed.
Credits are a prepaid balance held by your employer, not money owed to you. Unspent credits return to the employer's float on the schedule they set.
Conduct in the vehicle
Everyone in the vehicle is a stranger until they aren't, which is why riders are verified as well as drivers. Rydlnk may suspend an account for conduct that makes a shared vehicle unsafe.
When a run doesn't happen
If Rydlnk cancels a run, the seat is not charged and any credits or balance spent on it are returned. We are not liable for consequential loss — a missed shift, for instance — arising from a canceled or delayed run.
