Created by Londoners for Londoners, we are called HumanForest because that’s our vision of what our great city will become. As a tree helps remove CO2 from the atmosphere, people opting to make their journey on a HumanForest vehicle help lower carbon emissions in London. Working together, trees and people can drastically reduce the amount of CO2 in the air – they become, in essence, a HumanForest.
Our eMopeds are electric and green. We are here to compete with the car and complement London’s public transportation network. It is our hope that you leave your car at home and take a HumanForest eMoped instead.
These terms form a contract between Human Forest Limited trading as 'HumanForest' (HumanForest, we, us and our) and you. They govern your registration and use of our eMopeds (Services), which are accessible on humanforest.co.uk (Site) and/or through any web or mobile application we provide (Application), as well as your use of the Site and Application themselves. For clarity, the Services and these terms do not cover HumanForest eBikes, for which separate terms apply. By accepting these terms and using the Services, you accept and agree to comply with these terms, as amended from time to time. These terms were last updated in August 2022.
If you do not accept all or any of these terms, then you are not authorised to use any of HumanForest's eMopeds. In particular, you acknowledge and agree that:
If you have any questions regarding these terms, please contact us using the details below.
To use the Services, you must first register and set up an account with us by completing the account registration form available on the Application. You only need to register once but from time to time we may need you to update your details. For example, when your driver’s licence reaches its expiry date you will need to register a new driver's licence before you can continue using the Services. If you have a Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) certificate, when it reaches its expiry date, you will need to re-apply with your new, valid CBT certificate and update us of this accordingly.
To register, you must satisfy all of the following minimum eligibility criteria:
No major convictions in the last five years; Major convictions include:
You are responsible for ensuring that you satisfy all of the eligibility criteria before choosing to register with us. By registering, you are confirming to us that you meet all the eligibility criteria. If you do not meet these criteria, you may not use the Services. You must contact us promptly to notify us if you no longer satisfy all the criteria above.
To register, you must give us accurate, complete and up-to-date contact information, including your name, address, mobile phone number, date of birth, gender, email address, a valid debit or credit card (Payment Card) and proof of eligibility to drive an eMoped including a copy of your personal driver's licence (front and back) which we will verify using face recognition software and a copy of your CBT (if applicable). One Payment Card, phone number and email address are allowed per account. You are responsible for any information you provide to us. You must promptly update your account within the Site/Application if your details change.
If you do not have a UK driving licence, we may (at any time) require you to demonstrate compliance with the licensing laws of the issuing jurisdiction of residence and/or impose further policies regarding the obligation to be licensed in your jurisdiction of residence.
Registration is subject to approval by us in all cases, and we reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to decline any application for registration, without giving a reason.
If we approve your registration, you will receive a notification email from us and you will be approved to start using the Services. You will be responsible for paying all costs, including eMoped rental and costs associated with your use of the Services e.g., toll charges and fines.
We reserve the right to request additional information, such as a copy of a passport or proof of address at any time to ensure you are meeting the requirements above.
We reserve the right to carry out checks (including checks with credit reference agencies) for the purposes of confirming your identity and to establish your creditworthiness. By agreeing to these terms, you agree to our doing so.
We take fraud seriously, both for your protection and ours. If we suspect that any information you have provided to us is inaccurate, incomplete or fraudulent, we may suspend or terminate your account if and until the issue is resolved. During that time, you will lose access to our Services, Site and/or Application, either temporarily or permanently.
Upon registration for an account with us, you will be asked to enter your email address and create a password. You must keep these details confidential at all times and use them only to access and use your account and not for any other purpose. You are the only authorised user of your account and, accordingly, you must not disclose these details to anyone else. You must contact us immediately upon discovering any unauthorised use of, or error with, your account. Any breach of these terms and/or any use of your account by anyone to whom you disclose your account login details will be treated as if the breach or use had been carried out by you and will not relieve you of your obligations to us. If this happens, we may in our discretion close your account and you will be responsible for (a) any charges and costs incurred in connection with that unauthorised use; and (b) any loss, damage or liability caused out of or in connection with the unauthorised use.
Passwords are our property, and we reserve the right to alter or replace them, or require you to do so, at any time in our sole discretion.
HumanForest will delete your account upon termination of your account. You will no longer be able to access the Service.
The Services are described on the Site and Application. We warrant that the Services will substantially conform to the relevant description on the Site/Application and will be provided with reasonable care and skill.
You must use the Application to locate, unlock, rent and lock our available eMopeds.
There are designated areas where you can collect and leave your eMoped, which can be identified in the Application (Permitted Parking Areas). We use reasonable endeavours to ensure that our eMopeds are available within the Permitted Parking Areas. However, we cannot guarantee the availability of eMopeds for hire from any particular Permitted Parking Area (or otherwise) and for supply and related reasons we reserve the right to accept or reject your reservation requests.
To maintain and protect HumanForest's eMopeds and help prevent and detect crime, we may use electronic devices to monitor the condition, performance and operation of our eMopeds and/or to track the movement of our eMopeds. This information may be used both during your trip and after the termination of it.
By creating an account and registering with HumanForest, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for all use you make of the Services, and agree to comply with these terms and conditions and the rules for using the Services, Application and Site.
You must:
You must NOT:
The Application and Site may, from time to time, include links to external sites, which may include links to third party offers and promotions. We include these to provide you with access to information, products or services that you may find useful or interesting. We are not responsible for the content of these sites or for anything provided by them and do not guarantee that they will be continuously available. The fact that we include links to such external sites does not imply any endorsement of or association with their operators or promoters.
We work hard to keep our eMopeds in good condition, but they are subject to frequent use. You must perform a safety check on our eMopeds before use, including checking the following:
If your safety check finds that there is a deficiency or fault with the eMoped, it is not working properly or requires maintenance, please do not use it, find and use an alternative one of our eMopeds and contact us as soon as possible so we can rectify this. If you notice any of these or other issues in one of our eMopeds during your trip, please stop your trip as soon as you safely can and contact us as soon as possible so we can rectify this.
Please note that if you fail to report any of these or other issues in one of our eMopeds at the time, it may mean the fault will be attributable to you (including requiring that you meet any associated costs). Please report any issues to us as soon as you can.
We regularly conduct a thorough cleaning and sanitising of our eMopeds. However, we recommend that you wipe down the surfaces of the brakes and handlebars and wear gloves whilst riding. If we are notified of an eMoped being ridden by a user with Coronavirus, the eMoped will immediately be taken out of service and fully sanitised. Only after three days will it be returned to service.
British law requires you to wear an appropriate helmet at all times while using our eMopeds. You will find a HumanForest helmet in the top box of the eMoped, which you must use whilst riding unless you are using your own. If you are using your own the safety helmet must meet British safety standards. You must fit and fasten your helmet properly at all times whilst riding and eMoped. If, for any reason, you don't find the HumanForest helmet in the top box, you must not use the eMoped unless you wear an appropriate helmet of your own. Helmets and other protective gear are no guarantee against personal injury risk. If you choose not to wear a helmet and are injured or cause damage or loss, you chose to take, and are responsible for, that risk. We are not responsible for how you ride the eMoped (unless something we did was the actual cause of such injury). For the purposes of these terms, "eMopeds" and "Services" include the HumanForest helmets.
Your safety is the most important thing for us. We ask that you ride our eMopeds with care, treat them like your own and be mindful of your surroundings. Doing all that, we are confident that your riding experience will be a great one! This means you must not carry any other people, animals or personal items (like a bag, unless it is stored appropriately in the top box), or use any device (like a mobile phone or another portable device) if they impair or hinder your vision, hearing or safe use of eMoped (for example, you must not text or listen to music while using our eMopeds). There will not always be a designated place for you to ride so please be cautious when riding around cars and other traffic (we are not responsible for the actions of drivers).
Once you have registered and set up an account with us, you can start hiring eMopeds (or ordering other Services). See the remainder of this Clause 8 for how to do this.
Once your daily free 5 minutes of driving has expired, you will be charged £0.20 per minute whilst pausing or minutes will be deducted from your bundled minutes (if applicable and which you can check in the Application). You will also be charged a cost of £0.19 per kilometre for users that are between 21 and 25 years of age and a cost of £0.14 per kilometre for users over 25 years of age.
To start a "Hire Period" you must scan one of the QR codes displayed on the eMoped or choose one of the eMopeds within the Application; confirm that you will only use the eMoped for delivery purposes on the pre-ride toggle; and then slide the “Slide to reForest” button to start your Hire Period.
When you start a new Hire Period, you are making an offer to us to hire and pay for that eMoped for the Hire Period subject to the terms and conditions in these terms. All offers are subject to acceptance by us. We are not obliged to accept your offer and may, at our discretion, decline to accept any offer for any reason. You do, however, acknowledge that by sliding the “Slide to reForest” button to start your Hire Period, you enter into an obligation to pay for the Services in accordance with these terms. When we accept your offer, we will confirm such acceptance by sending you a confirmation of your order (Order Confirmation) via a message in the Application or notification. The contract between you and us in relation to that Hire Period (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Order Confirmation. We will also be able to access any Contract in your Application.
If you are ordering Services other than hiring an eMoped: the Services may be ordered by clicking on the Service you wish to purchase and then following the prompts that will appear on-screen on the Site/Application. You may check and correct any input errors in your order up until the point at which you submit your order to us. Your order constitutes an offer to us to purchase the ordered Service(s) subject to the terms and conditions of these terms. All orders are subject to acceptance by us. We are not obliged to accept your order and may, at our discretion, decline to accept any order for any reason. You do, however, acknowledge that by clicking on the order in the manner described above, you enter into an obligation to pay for the Services. When we accept your order, we will confirm such acceptance by sending you a confirmation of your order (Order Confirmation) via a message in the Application or notification. The contract between you and us in relation to the Service(s) ordered (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Order Confirmation. We will also be able to access any Contract in your Application.
Depending on your location, during your Hire Period, you may pause your Hire Period by touching the pause icon in the Application. The Application will indicate where you can and cannot pause your Hire Period which will depend on your position.
When you wish to pause your ride and park the eMoped, you must follow the parking rules of the individual Council and pay the necessary parking charges (if any). We encourage you to use solo motorcycle parking bays which are free of charge, where possible. You can only park in parking bays that have enough parking space to safely fit your eMoped. Parking bays on private land may have a maximum number of spaces for eMopeds and under no circumstances may this be exceeded.
All parking charges incurred while pausing your trip are your responsibility.
As a safety feature, each eMoped will immobilise itself after five minutes of inactivity during a Hire Period. If this happens, to re-activate the eMoped, simply pause and un-pause your ride. If the eMoped was already on pause, you can un-pause it. Please note this does not impact the section titled abandoned, lost or stolen eMopeds.
To successfully end your trip and end your Hire Period, you must:
You are responsible for ensuring the Hire Period has correctly ended.
You will not be able to return and lock your eMoped and end the trip unless you are in one of the Permitted Parking Areas. If you attempt to do so, you will receive a notification via the Application. If you do not return the eMoped to a Permitted Parking Area and lock your eMoped in accordance with these terms, you will be treated as having abandoned the eMoped (see abandoned, lost or stolen eMopeds).
When you wish to end your ride and park the eMoped in a Permitted Parking Area, you must do so in a solo motorcycle bay, or a shared use bay, or a pay and display bay that is not a pay and display only (shopper) bay. You can only park in parking bays that have enough parking space to safely fit your eMoped.
Permitted Parking Areas will have space for multiple vehicles including our eMopeds, and you must safely park within these boundaries without exceeding them or endangering other vehicles. Permitted Parking Areas are on public land unless we have an agreement with the private or business property owner and the Application clearly identifies this as a place you can park. Other than this, you cannot park an eMoped on private or business property (for example car parks or back yards). This prohibition also applies to car parks intended for customers of shopping centres, supermarkets, restaurants, etc. The eMopeds must always be left in a position that is accessible to all other riders when you are not using it. Any user found to have incorrectly parked, exceeded the safe number of vehicles in any parking area, or presented a danger or hindrance to others may be liable to a fine and/or their account being blocked.
Please don’t lock up any eMoped with a lock that is not ours. This means we cannot unlock it and may charge you a fee of up to £250 depending on our costs incurred in unlocking any eMoped due to your actions.
If you abandon an eMoped, you will continue to be charged per minute at the standard rates.
eMopeds which are left stationary without pause for over 60 minutes during a Hire Period will be treated as having been abandoned. eMopeds which are left on pause for over 12 hours will also be treated as having been abandoned. In both cases, you will be locked out from the eMoped and the eMoped will be retrieved by our operations team. Until the eMoped is retrieved, you are responsible for all associated fees and fines.
If you fail to return an eMoped to a Permitted Parking Area and leave it somewhere we, in our sole discretion, can still reasonably collect it, we will collect the eMoped and move it to a Permitted Parking Area but you will be charged a fee of up to £250. If you fail to return an eMoped to a Permitted Parking Area and leave it somewhere we, in our sole discretion, cannot reasonably collect it, you will be charged for the cost of the eMoped (see more details in the damages and accidents section below). The fee will be notified through the Application and charged automatically to your Payment Card.
If the eMoped is stolen, the user must report the incident to the police as soon as possible, and at least within 24 hours of discovery of the incident and obtain a crime reference number. The user is responsible for notifying us if the eMoped has been stolen (see Contact Us) and they must share the crime reference number.
The maximum eMoped Hire Period is 12 hours. You need to end the Hire Period before you reach 12 hours. This is so we can check on the status of the eMoped and its location and swap the battery. Another trip can be started on the same eMoped, directly afterwards. eMopeds not returned within 12 hours will be deemed abandoned, lost or stolen eMopeds. In such an event, we reserve the right to report you to the police and exclude you from using our eMoped in the future.
Our eMopeds require battery charging to operate, which we administer frequently. The level of battery charge will decrease with use over both time and distance. The eMopeds lose their battery charge for various reasons, including due to weather, road conditions, battery type, manufacture and other factors.
It is your responsibility to be aware of the level of battery charge for the eMoped that you rent and to use your judgement to decide whether the eMoped's current battery charge level will get you where you intend to go. As part of our Services, we work to ensure that our eMopeds have adequate battery charge for your general use, but we cannot guarantee a particular eMoped will have enough battery charge for you to reach your destination.
eMopeds with less than 25% charge will not be available to hire.
Other than normal wear and tear, you must return the eMoped (in accordance with ending your trip) in the same condition in which you received it.
If the eMoped is accidentally damaged by you, you will be responsible to pay for the first £250 towards repairing the damage. Users that are between 21 year and25 years old will be responsible for the first £500 towards repairing the damage.
If the eMoped is intentionally damaged by you or you fail to properly return it and damage occurs, you will be responsible for all the associated costs, including relating to:
eMoped repair and replacement can be to up to £3,000 per eMoped based upon the costs of repair or replacement. The same charges will apply for any eMoped not returned within 12 hours of hire, which we will consider abandoned, lost or stolen eMopeds and, depending on the circumstances, we may need to file a police report against you. We reserve the right to take any action against you that the law allows, including holding you liable for the value of the eMoped.
If you are found to be liable, you are responsible for upto the full value of the eMoped, including the replacement or repair costs for the eMoped and/or costs associated with the recovery or transportation of the eMoped, and/or the loss of use of the eMoped.
You must report any accident, crash, damage, personal injury, or a stolen or lost eMoped to us as soon as possible. If an accident involves personal injury, property damage or a stolen eMoped, you must file a report with the local police department within 24 hours. If the police refuse to record the details of an accident, you must as soon as reasonably possible contact us via phone (HumanForest Customer Service) and provide proof of such. In such cases, you must discuss the further procedure with HumanForest Customer Service and follow its instructions. This applies regardless of whether the accident was caused by you or a third-party. If you cannot speak to a HumanForest representative, then you must contact us by email or leave a voice message with details of the accident.
You may only leave the site of the accident after all of the following have happened:
If you have an accident involving a HumanForest eMoped, and you make a statement accepting liability, this shall apply solely to you personally. Neither HumanForest nor its insurers shall be bound by such statement or undertaking.
Regardless of whether an accident has been caused by you or by a third party, a claim form will be made available after the accident has been reported. You must fill in the claim form in full and return it to HumanForest within a reasonable time period.
If you damage the eMoped or have an accident, we may suspend or terminate your access to any Service (including the Application and Site), and we reserve the right to pursue any available legal remedy to collect any amount owed by you.
All items you affix to or place in or on the eMoped are your responsibility and they are placed at your own risk. HumanForest is in no way responsible for any damage, loss or theft of any items you place in or on an eMoped.
You are responsible for paying all applicable fees associated with using the Services, including:
The charges are as quoted on the Site and Application. Charges include VAT. Please note that we may change the pricing for our Services as we deem necessary or appropriate for our business at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you an Order Confirmation.
You may change your Payment Card designated in your account. We accept payment by most major credit and debit cards. Please note that, for security reasons, the statement address for the Payment Card you use to pay must be the same as your contact address for the order. You may only use a payment method that you have the legal right to use and you authorise us to charge this payment method for any charges that you incur.
All payments to us are made through a third-party payment processor in the form of payment accepted by them. Our third-party payment processor is Stripe who collects and holds your payment information. By registering a Payment Card you agree that this can be used to pay relevant fees and fines including (without limitation) fees for hire, pausing a hire, any relocation or retrieval fees, fines and additional charges (as notified to you in writing) for damage or failure to return an eMoped as well as any other fees and charges identified in these terms.
You should be aware that online payment transactions are subject to validation checks by your card issuer and we are not responsible if your card issuer declined to authorise payment for any reason. Please note, it is possible that your card issuer may charge you an online handling fee or processing fee. We are not responsible for this.
Prior to renting a vehicle, a pre-authorisation temporary 'hold' of £24.00 will be placed on your Payment Card. This hold ensures that you have enough funds to later pay for your trip and will show up as a "pending" charge on your bank statement. When you end your trip, the difference between the hold and the price of your completed trip is released back to you by your payment provider (if applicable). This amount should appear in your account within a few business days. Please note: The timeframe of this release can vary. We encourage you to check with your bank to understand their policies on pre-authorisation holds.
We will endeavour to take payment in respect of all charges to your account from the same Payment Card that you have previously paid with (unless you have provided details of an alternative Payment Card in your name that we should use). You authorise us, on an ongoing basis, to debit that Payment Card (or, if relevant, the alternative Payment Card) automatically with all charges due and payable by you in relation to any Service in accordance with these terms, until that Service is cancelled or your account is closed.
If you do not pay us charges that you owe to us on time (including if any correct charge to your Payment Card is not authorised), we may suspend or terminate your access to any Service (including the Application and Site), and we reserve the right to pursue any available legal remedy to collect the amount owed by you.
If you disagree with any charges we have made to your account, you must let us know as soon as possible after you have become aware of the issue. To resolve any disputed charges, we will need certain trip information, including the date and approximate start and end times of your trip.
Please contact us if you have questions regarding charges to your account.
We have arrangements with some organisations that give you a discount on the publicly available price for the Services. You will need to insert a valid code (provided by the organisation) into the Application when you hire the eMoped to access this. Not all organisations have these codes, and you will need to ask your organisation about this. If you would like your organisation to offer a discount, please contact us and we will reach out (confidentially) to your organisation to explore this with the organisation. The discounted price will automatically be deducted from your ride.
You must NOT under any circumstances share the discount codes with anyone else. Your organisation is NOT responsible for any charges you incur under or in connection with these terms, and you are hiring the eMoped from us, not the organisation.
From time to time we may run other promotions where we issue discount codes. As with the organisation discounts, these can be used in part-payment of the charges for the Services ordered through the Site or Application, subject to the terms under which they were issued (as indicated in our relevant promotion from which you received the code). These terms may require your agreement to take part in the application promotions.
Discount codes can only be used once, are only redeemable via the Site/Application, only during the period of validity stated and only in respect of the relevant Services stated. Discount codes cannot be redeemed for cash. Any discount codes you accrue will be used on a first-in first-out basis in the order in which you have accrued them. Only one discount code can be used at a time and they cannot be used in combination.
When you are using our Services, the Application or the Site, you must comply with the laws that
apply to you. If you receive a ticket or a fine, cause our eMoped to be towed and/or impounded or
receive any other penalties or fees, you are responsible and liable for all associated costs and will be
charged by the government officials directly (as opposed to by us). We cooperate with all
governmental officials in their enforcement of the applicable laws, and for expediency, we may pay
amounts you owe on your behalf and provide any necessary information requested or required by the
applicable government agencies. If we do so, you are required to pay us, in addition to any applicable
costs associated with third party collection or administrative agents if we feel that we have to use
them to resolve the issue. We will not charge your Payment Card for these costs but instead you will
be responsible for paying the relevant agency directly (in full and promptly, unless you successfully
dispute it directly with the relevant agency) and you indemnify us for any costs we incur in connection
with this. We may also charge you an administration and handling fee of £15 on top of any fine or
charge you accrue.
We own the eMopeds, helmets and all other items we provide to you in the course of providing the Services – and these terms in no way transfer ownership to you. Your use of and rights under these terms in respect of those things are limited to the rights set out in these terms.
