You may be charged a fine of up to €300 (or the local equivalent) in the following cases:

### You paused or parked your ride in a [no-park zone, no-go zone, or outside the riding area](https://ridedott.elevio.help/en/articles/182)
These areas are indicated on the map, so we recommend checking it beforehand to see where you can ride. We'll also send you a push notification if you reach these areas so you can avoid getting fined.

### Your ride ended from inactivity in a no-park zone, no-go zone, or outside the riding area
We auto-end rides after 10-30 minutes of inactivity, in case you forgot to end it in the app. If this happens in a zone where you’re not allowed to end your ride, a fine will apply. Don’t worry, we’ll notify you a few minutes beforehand to give you the chance to continue your ride or move the vehicle.

### You parked your Dott incorrectly
We usually request a photo of your parked Dott to check whether you’ve followed our parking protocol. Head to our [Parking guidelines](https://ridedott.elevio.help/en/articles/198-general-parking-guidelines) section for details on how & where to park.

You can see any fines you might have received on your ride receipt or invoice. If you think you were fined by mistake, you can contact us [here](https://app.ridedott.com/contactUs) or go to “ **Help & legal**” then “ **Contact us**” in the app – we’re happy to help!
