1                             General information

1.1                      Dear passenger, these are our Terms of Use. You are a person looking to order a taxi ride from a location where one of our Devices or QR Tools is located. This can be a hotel or other venue. We are Taxi Butler BV, offering Our Services to you.

1.2                      When certain words and phrases are used in these Terms of Use, they have specific meanings (these are known as ‘defined terms’ or ‘definitions’). You can identify definitions because they start with capital letters, even if they are not at the start of a sentence. Where a defined term is used, it has the meaning given to it in article 2 of these Terms of Use below.

1.3                      Our Services allow you to book a taxi ride directly with a local Transportation Provider that is connected to Our Services and in certain cases Our Services allow you to pay for the taxi ride as well.

1.4                      These Terms of Use constitute the agreement entered into between you and us in respect of your use of Our Services, and these Terms of Use specify the terms and conditions for your access and use of Our Services, as well as set forth both your and our rights and obligations.

1.5                      These Terms of Use apply if you use our Devices or QR Tools in the United Kingdom. In other countries, other terms and conditions may apply, as communicated to you in the booking process in the relevant location.

1.6                      We are Taxi Butler BV, a company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands. You can find us at Keizersgracht 169, 1016 DP Amsterdam, the Netherlands and you can reach us at support@taxibutler.com. We are registered with the trade register of the Chamber of Commerce with number 58923853 and have VAT number NL853240474B01.

1.7                      Please also refer to the customer services section in article 12 below.

2                             Definitions

2.1                      The following definitions apply in these Terms of Use:

2.2                      Any reference in these Terms of Use to any gender includes all genders, and words importing the singular include the plural and vice versa.

3                             Booking procedure and acceptance of offer and terms and conditions

Offer

3.1                      Our Devices and QR Tools lead you through the booking process to order your taxi. Before a booking is placed with the relevant Transportation Provider, you are presented with a page with booking info, which constitutes the offer for making the booking. In case you are assisted by a member of staff of the venue where you are, this page provides an instruction to hand the Device over to you.

3.2                      The offer contains the information you have provided, such as the destination and the type of vehicle you are requesting, and a break down of the estimated Total Price, with explanations as described in article 4 below so that you are well informed before making the booking. You can also find the name and contact details of the Transportation Provider for your booking by using the hamburger menu at the top left of the screen during the entire booking process.

3.3                      The offer also informs you that these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy and the Transportation Provider T&C’s apply to the booking. You can click on hyperlinks to read these documents on the Device. The documents on the device contain a QR code that you can scan, and which guides you to a website where you can save these documents on your own device for later reference. In case you use a QR Tool, the relevant pages have a save-button you can use to save the documents on your own device for later reference. We recommend that you save a copy of these documents to your own device.

3.4                      The booking process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your booking – just click on the "previous step" button on the Device or the QR Tool. Please check your booking carefully before confirming it, as once you click on the "I agree" button (and make subsequent payment in case you pay through Our Services), we will process the booking for you immediately (although you always have the option to cancel your booking). You are responsible for ensuring that your booking is complete and accurate. The booking process is available in the English language. A copy of the contract formed between you and us will be accessible for you as described below.

Accepting the offer

3.5                      You can accept the offer by clicking on the "I agree" button. In consideration of either: (i) your payment of our Service Fee (if applicable); (ii) your promise to enter into an agreement with, and pay fees to, the Transportation Provider; and/or (iii) your other obligations under these Terms of Use, a legally binding agreement between you and us is formed. This agreement incorporates these Terms of Use and your booking is established when you click on the "I agree" button. Each booking will incorporate these Terms of Use and the booking into a new and separate agreement. 

3.6                      When you click on the "I agree" button, an agreement is also established between you and the relevant Transportation Provider. This is a direct agreement between you and the relevant Transportation Provider, to which agreement we are not a party. It is governed by the Transportation Provider T&C’s that are shown in the offer, which govern both the booking and the taxi ride itself (together forming part of the Transportation Provider Service).

3.7                      We do not provide any guarantees or accept any liability in respect of bookings with the Transportation Provider and the performance of the Transportation Provider Service by it. We are merely the agent of a Transportation Provider or Driver in respect of the services any of them may agree to provide to you through the Transportation Provider Service or otherwise. Our Services merely facilitate your connecting to Transportation Providers and Drivers in order to make bookings.

3.8                      The booking is placed with the Transportation Provider after you click on the "I agree" button on the page of the offer, or after you have made subsequent payment as described in article 4 below, in case you choose to pay through Our Services as well.

Confirmation of booking

3.9                      After clicking on the "I agree" button or after making payment in case you pay through Our Services, a paper ticket is printed by the Device and/ or an SMS text message is sent to your mobile phone number. The paper ticket and/or SMS text message is the confirmation of your booking.

3.10                 The paper ticket and/or SMS text message contains a summary of your booking and a link to a mobile booking tracker website specifically for you (the link is a QR code on the paper ticket). This mobile booking tracker website contains the estimated Total Price and allows you to track and manage your booking. It also contains a copy of these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, and a link to the Transportation Provider T&C’s. You can also find the name and contact details of the Transportation Provider for your booking by using the hamburger menu at the top left of this mobile booking tracker website.

3.11                 We recommend that you keep the paper ticket and SMS text message so you are able to contact us and the Transportation Provider with the booking reference number of your booking.

3.12                 The mobile booking tracker website also contains a button which allows you to cancel your booking, which automatically cancels the pre-authorisation of payment, if you have paid using Our Services. However, please note that your right to cancel your booking under UK consumer law is not applicable because these cancellation rights do not apply to passenger transport contracts.  

3.13                 Please note that all information on arrival times and trip duration that is visible in Our Services are estimates that we receive from the Transportation Provider. We have no control over and are not liable for any deviations between these estimates and the actual arrival times and trip duration.

3.14                 These Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy are always easily electronically accessible on our website (https://taxibutler.com/terms) where they can be saved for future reference.

4                             Prices and payment

4.1                      The price for booking and taking a taxi ride through the use of Our Services consists of the Fare and, in certain cases, the Transportation Provider Booking Fee and/or our Service Fee. Together, these amounts are the Total Price as defined in these Terms of Use.

4.2                      At the offer stage, the Fare is an estimate that we are informed about by the Transportation Provider, rather than a fixed price. The Transportation Provider Booking Fee and Service Fee, if applicable, may also be estimates, if these fees are dependent (or partly dependent) on the amount of the final Fare. The offer that is made to you will clearly show these price elements and explain how these are calculated, with information icons that can be opened for you to read.

4.3                      The final Fare, and consequently also any part of the Transportation Provider Booking Fee and Service Fee that is based on the amount of the final Fare, depends on several variables, such as traffic density, the available route, changes to the destination and added stops. The final Fare is determined by the vehicle’s taximeter and the applicable local (sur)charges, tolls and taxes upon completion of the ride. We do not in any way control or influence the amount of the Fare and are not liable for any deviations between the estimated Fare and the final Fare you are obliged to pay to the Transportation Provider.

4.4                      You are informed of the estimated Total Price of your booking in the offer on the Device or in the QR Tool, as described in article 3 above. The information will specify the applicable currency. In case you accept the offer by clicking on the "I agree" button, you accept the obligation to pay the Total Price. We confirm the estimated Total Price on the mobile booking tracker website as mentioned in article 3.10 above, which you can go to by using the QR code on the printed ticket and/or clicking on the link in the SMS text message.

4.5                      You can either pay in the car and/or pay through Our Services, depending on the location where you are and the Transportation Provider that is connected. If you pay in the car, you will pay the Total Price to the Driver in the car. The Driver or the Transportation Provider will in that case also be able to provide you with a receipt specifying the final Total Price.

4.6                      If you pay through Our Services, you will pre-authorise us to reserve the applicable amount on your method of payment. Some payment institutions may display this pre-authorisation on your account. Funds will not be deducted from the account until the ride has been completed, but there may be a reduction in the amount of funds available to you in the meantime corresponding to the amount pre-authorised. This pre-authorisation shall be for the estimated Total Price set out in the offer and may be increased to cover average differences between estimated amounts and final amounts. If the final Total Price differs from the amount of the pre-authorisation, the exact amount will be deducted as soon as the final amount has been determined after the ride has been completed. In the event of cancellation, the pre-authorisation will be cancelled, and the amounts will be released in accordance with the operating rules of your payment institution. A cancellation fee may apply, but only if this has been communicated to you before making the booking.

4.7                      If you choose to pay through Our Services, we can provide you with a receipt with proof of payment by email that contains the final Total Price. The booking process on the Device and QR Tool contains a button to request a receipt. You need to provide us with your email address in order to send the receipt. We do not use your email address for any other purpose than sending you the receipt or communicating with you about your request to receive a receipt. You can also request a receipt later by emailing us at accounts@taxibutler.com and referring to the booking reference you can find on the paper ticket and SMS text message.

4.8                      In case you wish to receive an invoice for our Service Fee, please email us at accounts@taxibutler.com. An invoice for the Fare (and Transportation Provider Booking Fee, if applicable) can be requested from the relevant Transportation Provider. You may contact us if you have difficulty contacting the Transportation Provider (please find their contact details in the mobile booking tracker website) and we will assist you in getting in touch, but we cannot provide you with an invoice for the Fare (and Transportation Provider Booking Fee, if applicable) as it is due by you to the Transportation Provider directly and not part of our accounts.

4.9                      We shall take all reasonable steps to protect your payment data, in case we process these, from unauthorised access by third parties. We use third party payment processing services to facilitate payments through Our Services. Our third-party payment processing service provider may retain payment details after the pre-authorisation payment has been made in order to complete the payment process after the taxi ride has been completed.

5                             Eligibility to use Our Services

10.1                 As noted above, we are not a party to the agreement between you and the Transportation Provider or Driver.

10.3                 Despite the above, do please read the customer services clause below in article 12 as we do take efforts to help you in case of any issues you encounter with the Transportation Provider and Driver.

10.4                 You accept that our responsibility and liability is limited to our status as the operator of a platform enabling its users to book transportation services from independent providers of transportation services. We act as an agent for the Transportation Provider or Driver in respect of their provision of transportation services and we do not operate as a taxi, limousine or chauffeur company ourselves.

10.5                 In line with the fact that we do not provide any transportation services, we have also not taken out any insurance in connection with your taxi ride, nor to insure any other passengers, third parties and/or belongings. Insurance policies of the Transportation Provider or the Drivers will be subject to their own terms and may be subject to and described by the relevant Transportation Provider T&C’s.

11                       Limitation of liability

11.3                 We are under a legal duty to provide you with Our Services that are in conformity with your booking (noting there are several variables and estimations to the booking process given the nature of Our Services). Nothing in these Terms of Use affects your statutory rights. Advice about your statutory rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Office (or local consumer advisory body in the UK). 

11.4                 We only supply Our Services for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the Our Services for any commercial or business purposes and (save as set out in article 11.1) we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

11.8                 The limitations of liability in this clause do not apply in the case of intent or deliberate recklessness on our part.

12.4                 Of course, you may also send us any complaints or claims with regard to Our Services.

We shall transfer any complaint, claim or request you make to us in relation to a booking or the provision of a taxi ride to the relevant Transportation Provider.

3                             Booking procedure and acceptance of offer and terms and conditions

Offer

3.1                      Our Devices and QR Tools lead you through the booking process to order your taxi. Before a booking is placed with the relevant Transportation Provider, you are presented with a page with booking info, which constitutes the offer for making the booking. In case you are assisted by a member of staff of the venue where you are, this page provides an instruction to hand the Device over to you.

3.2                      The offer contains the information you have provided, such as the destination and the type of vehicle you are requesting, and a break down of the estimated Total Price, with explanations as described in article 4 below so that you are well informed before making the booking. You can also find the name and contact details of the Transportation Provider for your booking by using the hamburger menu at the top left of the screen during the entire booking process.

3.3                      The offer also informs you that these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy and the Transportation Provider T&C’s apply to the booking. You can click on hyperlinks to read these documents on the Device. The documents on the device contain a QR code that you can scan, and which guides you to a website where you can save these documents on your own device for later reference. In case you use a QR Tool, the relevant pages have a save-button you can use to save the documents on your own device for later reference. We recommend that you save a copy of these documents to your own device.

3.4                      The booking process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your booking – just click on the "previous step" button on the Device or the QR Tool. Please check your booking carefully before confirming it, as once you click on the "I agree" button (and make subsequent payment in case you pay through Our Services), we will process the booking for you immediately (although you always have the option to cancel your booking). You are responsible for ensuring that your booking is complete and accurate. The booking process is available in the English language. A copy of the contract formed between you and us will be accessible for you as described below.

Accepting the offer

3.5                      You can accept the offer by clicking on the "I agree" button. In consideration of either: (i) your payment of our Service Fee (if applicable); (ii) your promise to enter into an agreement with, and pay fees to, the Transportation Provider; and/or (iii) your other obligations under these Terms of Use, a legally binding agreement between you and us is formed. This agreement incorporates these Terms of Use and your booking is established when you click on the "I agree" button. Each booking will incorporate these Terms of Use and the booking into a new and separate agreement. 

3.6                      When you click on the "I agree" button, an agreement is also established between you and the relevant Transportation Provider. This is a direct agreement between you and the relevant Transportation Provider, to which agreement we are not a party. It is governed by the Transportation Provider T&C’s that are shown in the offer, which govern both the booking and the taxi ride itself (together forming part of the Transportation Provider Service).

3.7                      We do not provide any guarantees or accept any liability in respect of bookings with the Transportation Provider and the performance of the Transportation Provider Service by it. We are merely the agent of a Transportation Provider or Driver in respect of the services any of them may agree to provide to you through the Transportation Provider Service or otherwise. Our Services merely facilitate your connecting to Transportation Providers and Drivers in order to make bookings.

3.8                      The booking is placed with the Transportation Provider after you click on the "I agree" button on the page of the offer, or after you have made subsequent payment as described in article 4 below, in case you choose to pay through Our Services as well.

Confirmation of booking

3.9                      After clicking on the "I agree" button or after making payment in case you pay through Our Services, a paper ticket is printed by the Device and/ or an SMS text message is sent to your mobile phone number. The paper ticket and/or SMS text message is the confirmation of your booking.

3.10                 The paper ticket and/or SMS text message contains a summary of your booking and a link to a mobile booking tracker website specifically for you (the link is a QR code on the paper ticket). This mobile booking tracker website contains the estimated Total Price and allows you to track and manage your booking. It also contains a copy of these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, and a link to the Transportation Provider T&C’s. You can also find the name and contact details of the Transportation Provider for your booking by using the hamburger menu at the top left of this mobile booking tracker website.

3.11                 We recommend that you keep the paper ticket and SMS text message so you are able to contact us and the Transportation Provider with the booking reference number of your booking.

3.12                 The mobile booking tracker website also contains a button which allows you to cancel your booking, which automatically cancels the pre-authorisation of payment, if you have paid using Our Services. However, please note that your right to cancel your booking under consumer law is not applicable because these cancellation rights do not apply to passenger transport contracts.  

3.13                 Please note that all information on arrival times and trip duration that is visible in Our Services are estimates that we receive from the Transportation Provider. We have no control over and are not liable for any deviations between these estimates and the actual arrival times and trip duration.

3.14                 These Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy are always easily electronically accessible on our website (https://taxibutler.com/terms) where they can be saved for future reference.

4                             Prices and payment

4.1                      The price for booking and taking a taxi ride through the use of Our Services consists of the Fare and, in certain cases, the Transportation Provider Booking Fee and/or our Service Fee. Together, these amounts are the Total Price as defined in these Terms of Use.

4.2                      At the offer stage, the Fare is an estimate that we are informed about by the Transportation Provider, rather than a fixed price. The Transportation Provider Booking Fee and Service Fee, if applicable, may also be estimates, if these fees are dependent (or partly dependent) on the amount of the final Fare. The offer that is made to you will clearly show these price elements and explain how these are calculated, with information icons that can be opened for you to read.

4.3                      The final Fare, and consequently also any part of the Transportation Provider Booking Fee and Service Fee that is based on the amount of the final Fare, depends on several variables, such as traffic density, the available route, changes to the destination and added stops. The final Fare is determined by the vehicle’s taximeter and the applicable local (sur)charges, tolls and taxes upon completion of the ride. We do not in any way control or influence the amount of the Fare and are not liable for any deviations between the estimated Fare and the final Fare you are obliged to pay to the Transportation Provider.

4.4                      You are informed of the estimated Total Price of your booking in the offer on the Device or in the QR Tool, as described in article 3 above. The information will specify the applicable currency. In case you accept the offer by clicking on the "I agree" button, you accept the obligation to pay the Total Price. We confirm the estimated Total Price on the mobile booking tracker website as mentioned in article 3.10 above, which you can go to by using the QR code on the printed ticket and/or clicking on the link in the SMS text message.

4.5                      You can either pay in the car and/or pay through Our Services, depending on the location where you are and the Transportation Provider that is connected. If you pay in the car, you will pay the Total Price to the Driver in the car. The Driver or the Transportation Provider will in that case also be able to provide you with a receipt specifying the final Total Price.

4.6                      If you pay through Our Services, you will pre-authorise us to reserve the applicable amount on your method of payment. Some payment institutions may display this pre-authorisation on your account. Funds will not be deducted from the account until the ride has been completed, but there may be a reduction in the amount of funds available to you in the meantime corresponding to the amount pre-authorised. This pre-authorisation shall be for the estimated Total Price set out in the offer and may be increased to cover average differences between estimated amounts and final amounts. If the final Total Price differs from the amount of the pre-authorisation, the exact amount will be deducted as soon as the final amount has been determined after the ride has been completed. In the event of cancellation, the pre-authorisation will be cancelled, and the amounts will be released in accordance with the operating rules of your payment institution. A cancellation fee may apply, but only if this has been communicated to you before making the booking.

4.7                      If you choose to pay through Our Services, we can provide you with a receipt with proof of payment by email that contains the final Total Price. The booking process on the Device and QR Tool contains a button to request a receipt. You need to provide us with your email address in order to send the receipt. We do not use your email address for any other purpose than sending you the receipt or communicating with you about your request to receive a receipt. You can also request a receipt later by emailing us at accounts@taxibutler.com and referring to the booking reference you can find on the paper ticket and SMS text message.

4.8                      In case you wish to receive an invoice for our Service Fee, please email us at accounts@taxibutler.com. An invoice for the Fare (and Transportation Provider Booking Fee, if applicable) can be requested from the relevant Transportation Provider. You may contact us if you have difficulty contacting the Transportation Provider (please find their contact details in the mobile booking tracker website) and we will assist you in getting in touch, but we cannot provide you with an invoice for the Fare (and Transportation Provider Booking Fee, if applicable) as it is due by you to the Transportation Provider directly and not part of our accounts.

4.9                      We shall take all reasonable steps to protect your payment data, in case we process these, from unauthorised access by third parties. We use third party payment processing services to facilitate payments through Our Services. Our third-party payment processing service provider may retain payment details after the pre-authorisation payment has been made in order to complete the payment process after the taxi ride has been completed.

5                             Eligibility to use Our Services

10.1                 As noted above, we are not a party to the agreement between you and the Transportation Provider or Driver.

11.3                 We are under a legal duty to provide you with Our Services that are in conformity with your booking (noting there are several variables and estimations to the booking process given the nature of Our Services). Nothing in these Terms of Use affects your statutory rights. Advice about your statutory rights is available from your local local consumer advisory body in the country of your residence.

1.2                   These Terms of Use constitute the agreement entered into between you and us in respect of your use of Our Services, and these Terms of Use specify the terms and conditions for your access and use of Our Services, as well as set forth your rights and obligations.

2                            Definitions

2.2                   Any reference in these Terms of Use to any gender includes all genders, and words importing the singular include the plural and vice versa.

3                            Booking procedure – acceptance of these Terms of Use and the Transportation Provider T&C’s

3.1                   By using Our Services you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. Each time you use Our Services, you accept and agree to be bound by the latest version of these Terms of Use, which is displayed on the Device or QR Tool.

3.2                   Before making a booking, you must accept these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, as well as the Transportation Provider T&C’s for that booking. Those Transportation Provider T&C’s will govern both the booking and the taxi ride itself. You acknowledge that each Transportation Provider has its own Transportation Provider T&C’s and that these may vary from Transportation Provider to Transportation Provider and, therefore, from booking to booking. When you make a booking, you understand and accept that you are entering into an agreement directly with the relevant Transportation Provider with which you have made the relevant booking, and you accept that you will be bound by the applicable Transportation Provider T&C’s in respect of the relevant booking and taxi ride.

3.3                   Depending on which of Our Services you use, after making a booking with a Transportation Provider, we may send you an SMS text message confirming your booking and with a link to our website where you can find these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy and a link to the Transportation Provider T&C’s. An SMS text message also allows you to manage your booking. In cases where you do not provide your mobile phone number, we are unable to send you the links and you are responsible for copying the links during the use of Our Services for future reference.

3.4                   Based on the location of the venue where you are and the information you have provided, the Transportation Provider will send information to the Device or QR Tool on the estimated price and trip duration for you to see. These are estimated prices and times and are not binding. Actual times and prices may vary. You acknowledge and agree that we do not control these estimates and shall have no liability whatsoever related to the estimates and/or any difference between actual and estimated prices and times.  

3.5                   We are not a party to the agreement between you and the relevant Transportation Provider and/or Driver for the bookings you make, and you agree that we do not provide any guarantees or accept any liability in respect of the bookings and performance of transportation services. We are not the agent for any relevant Transportation Provider or Driver in respect of the services any of them may agree to provide to you through the Transportation Provider Service or otherwise; rather, Our Services facilitate your connecting to Transportation Provider and Drivers in order to make bookings.

3.6                   You agree that we do not provide transportation services or act as transporter in respect of any booking or taxi ride and we do not accept any liability for the provision of these. It is the Transportation Provider or Driver who is liable towards you for the provision of transportation services and who acts as transporter.

3.7                   Each set of Transportation Provider T&C’s provide important information about your agreement with the relevant Transportation Provider or its Drivers. Any modification of a booking must be made in accordance with the relevant Transportation Provider T&C’s. Although in certain instances we collect these from you in the name of the Transportation Provider, the amount of the Fare and the Transportation Provider Booking Fee, as well as any reimbursement that may be due, are set by the relevant Transportation Provider and governed by its Transportation Provider T&C’s.

3.8                   Any and all payments that are made through Our Services are subject to these Terms of Use, unless otherwise expressly provided in these Terms of Use.

4                            Changes to Our Services and to these Terms of Use

4.1                   The current version of these Terms of Use apply to your use of and access to Our Services and the Transportation Provider Service. If certain elements of services are governed by different rules, you will be provided with those prior to making any booking.

4.2                   We may from time to time make changes to Our Services and also Transportation Provider Services may change, including by adding or removing functionality or changing the way in which either of them operate or are presented to you.

4.3                   We may modify these Terms of Use to reflect changes to Our Services or the Transportation Provider Service, changes in law or changes in the way we or our industry operates, or for any other reason. By continuing to access and use Our Services and the Transportation Provider Service, you agree to be bound by the latest version of these Terms of Use displayed on the Device or QR Tool. Any change to the Terms of Use will not affect the Total Costs for a taxi ride in respect of a booking made prior to an amendment of these Terms of Use.

4.4                   If these Terms of Use are modified between a booking and the start of a taxi ride, the version of these Terms of Use current at the time you made the booking will continue to apply to that booking and in respect of the relevant taxi ride.

5                            Prices and payments

5.1                   All prices, with the exception of a Service Fee, are payable by you to the Transportation Provider in consideration of the Transportation Provider Service. In case a Service Fee is due, that is payable by you to us in consideration of the provision of Our Services to you.

5.2                   The Fare displayed on the Device or QR Tool for a booking, which may be expressed as an estimate, will be inclusive of the (sur)charges, tolls and taxes for your taxi ride as far as they are foreseeable to the Transportation Provider. The information displayed will specify the currency of payment.

5.3                   Depending on the offer of the Transportation Provider, the Fare is priced in either of two ways:

−     Fixed Price: a fixed price will only change with the addition of ancillary costs, depending on your taxi ride (waiting time, addition of intermediate stages, address changes, (sur)charges, toll roads, etc.) as per the Transportation Provider T&C’s; or

−     Estimated Price: an estimated price is an estimate of the Transportation Provider of the Fare, subject to external variables such as traffic density, which may modify the final price and which will be based on the vehicle’s taximeter. The final metered price will be calculated and charged to you once the taxi ride is complete.

5.4                   In either case (fixed price or estimated price), any additional costs you incur in addition to the Total Costs  (for example, costs that may be due if you modify a booking) will be charged to you according to the relevant Transportation Provider T&C’s, which you have accepted before making the relevant booking.

5.5                   After the taxi ride has been completed, the amount corresponding to the Total Costs will be charged to the method of payment that is applicable and you have agreed to.

5.6                   Where your payment is not made through Our Services, you will pay the Total Costs to the Driver in the car. The Driver or the Transportation Provider will provide you with a receipt specifying the Total Costs.

5.7                   Where your payment to the Transportation Provider is made through Our Services, we will seek payment pre-authorization on your method of payment directly after you have made the booking. Some payment institutions may display this pre-authorization on your account. Funds will not be deducted from the account until the ride has been completed, however there may be a reduction in the amount of funds available to you in the meantime corresponding to the amount pre-authorized. This pre-authorization shall be for the Total Costs and may be increased to cover the contingency of (a) a difference between the estimated price and the final price and (b) additional payments (toll roads, waiting time, etc.). If the final price of the ride is higher than the amount of the pre-authorization, the difference will also be deducted in a separate transaction after the relevant ride. In the event of cancellation, the pre-authorization will be cancelled, and the amounts will be released in accordance with the operating rules of your payment institution.

5.8                   Where your payment to the Transportation Provider is made through Our Services, your bank statement may include a reference to one of our trade names to identify the fact that payment was made in relation to Our Services.

5.9                   We shall take all reasonable steps to protect your payment data, in case we process these, from unauthorised access by third parties. We use third party payment processing services to facilitate payments through Our Services. Our third party payment processing service provider may retain payment details after the pre-authorisation payment has been made in order to complete the payment process after the taxi ride has been completed.

5.10             You acknowledge that your rights to cancel or withdraw your bookings under EU consumer law are not applicable to passenger transport.

6                            Insurance

6.1                   We do not take any insurance to cover your use of Our Services or in connection with your taxi ride, nor to insure other passengers, any third parties and/or any belongings. Insurance policies of the Transportation Provider or the Drivers will be subject to their own terms and may be subject to and described by the relevant Transportation Provider T&C’s.
