  1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

Limoport GmbH by Services4you GmbH, Im oberen gern 10 CH-8409 Zurich-Winterthur (hereinafter referred to as “Limoport”) enables its users to book transportation services via its own online platform. Limoport arranges this business service for the user but does not in provide the actual transportation service.

These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as “T&Cs”) are part of each agreement of the user concerning Limoport’s arrangement of business service contracts. They also describe the details of the transportation services for which Limoport provides the user a direct claim against a particular TSP (Transportation Service Provider).

Conflicting general terms and conditions of the user are hereby also contradicted in the case of confirmation letters and services accepted without condition. Any terms to the contrary shall only apply insofar as the management of Limoport has expressly consented to this in writing.

  1. CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP AND CONTRACT CONCLUSION

2.1 CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP

Limoport does not itself provide the transportation services in connection with the BL(Booking and Logistics) Tools and does not do so by way of third-party agents. Limoport only provides the user with a claim for transport against a TSP, which is independent of Limoport.

For this purpose, Limoport concludes the necessary agreements on its own behalf with the TSP that provide the user with a claim for transport against the TSP (“contract for the benefit of third parties”, also “transportation contract for the benefit of the user”). On this basis, the user is entitled to request the transportation service and any further claims in respect of that service directly from the TSP.

Limoport and the user only agree to the arrangement of a business service contract and not to the arrangement of the actual transportation services. The claim for compensation by Limoport includes the compensation for arranging business services as well as the compensation distributed to the TSP for the transportation services.

2.2 CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT

By transmitting a completed booking form via the BL Tools or by making arrangements by telephone with Limoport, the user transmits an offer to conclude a business service contract (“trip request” of the user). The subject matter of this contract is the provision of the ride service requested by the user.

As an initial matter, Limoport transmits to the user an email confirmation of the details of the requested ride service that it has received. In so doing, Limoport only confirms the receipt of the user’s trip request.

It is only by separate declaration (“booking confirmation”) by email from Limoport that the business service contract between Limoport and the user is concluded for the desired ride service. The user is then directly entitled vis-à-vis the TSP to request the ride service of the TSP and to assert further claims in respect of such ride service directly against the TSP.

  1. REGISTRATION OBLIGATION OF THE USER FOR THE USE OF THE BL TOOLS

The user provides assurance to Limoport that all information it transmits or has transmitted to Limoport on its behalf by another person is complete and accurate. 

  1. SELECTED CONTENT OF THE TRANSPORTATION CONTRACT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE USER

The user can only request the details for a user’s trip request described under Section 4 from the TSP if this has been agreed with Limoport in the business service contract.

The following conditions apply to the claim for transportation of the user to be asserted directly against the TSP and to be procured by Limoport:

4.1 RIDE TYPES, SERVICE CHANGES

Depending on local availability, the user can select trip requests that one way trip, or a round trip, or a per hour trip, within the available regions on the webservice.

If the ride actually carried out involves additional expenditure of effort due to the user’s or guest’s requests that differ from the initially requested ride, the TSP will accommodate these requests to the extent possible. The additional effort may result in additional costs for the individual business service contract. See Section 5 below for details.

Subject to availability, a user may request changes to the ride even after the conclusion of the contract but this may result in additional charges being applied, as described in Section 5.2.

4.1.1

In the case of a transfer, the displayed price shall be determined on the basis of a start and a destination address. An additional fee may be incurred if additional stopovers are requested according to the applicable price schedule (see Section 5 below).

4.1.2

An hourly booking always begins at the booked pickup time and ends in the city area of the pickup location. If a user requests that the TSP completes the ride outside the city area of the pickup or if the number of kilometres or the duration in the relevant booking are exceeded, additional fees may apply, particularly due to the fact that the TSP must thereafter return to the city area of the pickup location.

4.2 PICKUP TIME

The agreed pickup time is the pickup time specified in the Limoport booking confirmation.

In the event of an airport pickup or pickup at a long-distance train station for which the user has provided a correct flight or train number in its booking, thus enabling Limoport to track of the arrival time of the flight or train, the agreed pickup time will be postponed in case the flight or train are late.

4.3 VEHICLE CLASS/VEHICLE MODEL, UPGRADE

Depending on the regional availability of the vehicle, the user can choose from different vehicle classes in its trip request (for example, “Premium Class”, ”Business Van”, ”First Class”).

The vehicles shown in the BL Tools are only illustrative examples. There is no right to a particular vehicle model associated with a booked vehicle class Regional differences are possible.

It is possible for Limoport to upgrade from the vehicle class “Business Class” to a higher vehicle class (such as “Business Van” or “First Class”) at any time at no additional cost for the user, depending on availability.

4.4 TRANSPORT SAFETY, CONSEQUENCES

4.4.1 LUGGAGE, ANIMALS

The price in the booking confirmation includes the number of pieces of luggage that were specified in the booking form.

Excess luggage, bulky luggage such as a wheelchair, weapons or animals that the user wishes to carry along must be specified during the booking. The TSP may refuse the transport of luggage, weapons and/or animals that have not been agreed upon; this also applies if animals are not housed in a closed and suitable transport box. The right of refusal does not exist if local statutory provisions of the region in which the transport is carried out require that the items be accommodated.

If the TSP permits the carriage of additional luggage, weapons and/or animals that were not stipulated in the booking, additional surcharges may be charged. This may result in the total charges for the business service contract to be higher than initially specified in the booking confirmation (see Section 5 below).

4.4.2 TRANSPORT OF CHILDREN AND MINORS

(A) CHILDREN The need for child restraints must be specified by the user in the trip request by specifying the number and age of the children to be transported as well as the type of child restraints required.

(B) MINORS The transport of unaccompanied minors can be rejected by the TSP. The determination of minor status will be made in accordance with the statutory provisions of the region in which the transport is to be performed.

4.4.3 INFORMATION ON NUMBER OF PASSENGERS, NUMBER AND SIZE OF LUGGAGE

The maximum number of passengers, number and size of pieces of luggage will be provided by Limoport for a specific vehicle and is set out in a binding luggage policy.

The TSP may refuse to transport passengers or luggage if, in its opinion, the space and safety conditions do not permit such transport.

4.4.4 IMPEDED TRANSPORT

The TSP may refuse to transport a user if mandatory requirements (for example, resulting from applicable law) pursuant to this Section 4.3 have not been communicated or were not correctly communicated by the user in its trip request.

If transport is not possible for this reason, Limoport shall still be entitled to compensation from the user under the business service contract for that specific transportation.

4.5 DELAYS

Exceptional situations such as striking air traffic controllers, inclement weather conditions, etc. can only be compensated to a limited extent. In these cases, longer waiting times or short-notice cancellations must be accepted by the user.

4.6 CANCELLATIONS, REBOOKINGS AND NO-SHOW RIDES

4.6.1 CANCELLATION

For any transfer from Limoport, the cancellation is free if the time between the cancellation and the agreed pickup time is greater than 24 hours. If the time between the cancellation and the agreed pickup time is 24 hours or less, the full price must be paid. An effective cancellation can only be carried out using the cancellation function on the website or in the app.

4.6.2 REBOOKINGS

Rebookings are generally treated as new bookings. The regulations for the handling of cancellations (Section 4.5.1 above) apply accordingly for the originally agreed ride. Accordingly, a claim for compensation by Limoport for the originally agreed ride may remain in force.

4.6.3 NO-SHOW RIDES WITHOUT CANCELLATION, USER’S DELAY

In the event that a user does not show up for a ride and does not cancel it (a “no show”), the user’s claim for transport vis-à-vis the TSP shall no longer be applicable; however, Limoport’s shall still be entitled to compensation from the user.

In the event of pickup at airports or long-distance train stations, a ride is considered to be a no-show if the User or guest does not appear within 60 minutes after the agreed pickup time at the agreed pickup location.

No-show rides must be fully compensated, but any waiting time surcharges will not be applied. This is not the case if the TSP and the guest have communicated by telephone about a later pickup time. Any waiting time surcharges are applicable, as described under Section 5.3.1. As a general rule, there is no right to change the pickup time.

For rides that are Hourly based, are considered to be a no-show if the User or guest does not appear at the agreed pickup location after the end of the booked hours (calculated from the scheduled pickup time).

In the event of pickup at airports or long-distance train stations, a ride is considered to be a no-show if the user or guest does not appear at the agreed location after the end of the booked hours according to the pickup time.

A user shall be fully liable for no-show rides. This is not the case if the TSP and the guest have communicated by telephone about a later pickup time. The hourly booking always starts as described under Section 4.1.2 at the agreed pickup time. In this respect, any extensions of the hourly booking must be remunerated as described under Section 5.2. As a general rule, there is no right to change the pickup time.

4.7 BEHAVIOR IN THE LIMOUSINE

The following behavioral standards apply to the users of the TSP’s transport services:

During the entire ride , applicable road traffic rules and regulations apply to all guests, particularly the obligation to wear a seat belt. The TSP’s instructions must always be followed. The TSP bears the responsibility for safely completing the ride. Therefore, the guests are prohibited from opening the doors during the ride, throwing objects out of the vehicle and/or hanging out any part of the body or screaming from the vehicle. If guests wish to use any equipment or systems present in the respective vehicle, prior permission from the TSP is required.

Smoking is prohibited in the passenger compartment of the vehicles. If the user or a guest ignores this, the user must bear the costs of a vehicle cleaning and the resulting loss of serviceability.

The consumption of food is discouraged. Alcoholic drinks are only allowed to be consumed in the car with prior consent.

  1. REMUNERATION AND PAYMENT

5.1 GENERAL PRINCIPLES

The booking confirmation specifies the remuneration claim by Limoport.

Key factors for this amount (including reimbursement of expenses for the ride service provided by Limoport) are: the selected vehicle class, the route, the length of time for advanced booking and the pickup time and (where applicable) pickup location.

5.2 RIDE CHANGES

The user (and also the guest) may also change the trip request before the trip’s designated pickup time by 24 hours.

In the event of the user requesting additional services (distance or number of hours), the service provider is entitled to refuse depending on the schedule, whilst if accepted the actual service (total distance or number of hours) shall be recalculated and charged according to the applicable price schedule. In the case of hourly bookings, any half hour commenced shall be determinative for invoicing; in other words, the half hour is rounded up from the first additional minute in the interest of better planning reliability.

Accordingly, the compensation claim vis-à-vis the user will increase, as there is a corresponding increase in the reimbursement of Limoport’s expenses for the business service contract on behalf of the user.

If the booked distance or number of hours is shortened as compared to the booking, the agreed compensation shall remain unaffected.

5.3 OTHER CHARGES

5.3.1 WAITING TIMES FOR TRANSFER RIDES

In the case of transfer rides, no surcharges will apply for waiting times of up to 60 minutes after the agreed pickup time for pickups at airports or long-distance train stations. In all other cases, no surcharges will apply for waiting times of up to 15 minutes from the agreed pickup time. Each additional minute of waiting time is invoiced as a share of the hourly booking prices applicable in the respective city area and for the respective vehicle class, plus applicable sales tax.

5.3.2 ADDITIONAL KILOMETERS FOR HOURLY BOOKINGS

Hourly bookings consist of the inclusive kilometers (per hour) communicated in the booking form (or by telephone). Additional kilometers will be separately invoiced and are based on the route prices for the booked vehicle class in the respective city area and will include applicable sales tax.

5.4 PAYMENT MODALITIES AND TRANSACTION FEES

The user can pay for a ride by credit card. Any credit card fees accrued are borne by Limoport. The user bears any transaction fees in the event of a payment by transfer (for example, due to different currencies or locally different accounts).

5.5 WARNING NOTICES, FAILED CREDIT CARD DIRECT DEBITING

For each payment warning notice, Limoport may charge a reasonable reminder fee.

For failed credit card debit authorizations, Limoport shall invoice the user for the expenses incurred for this (bank, credit card institution) and reserves the right to assert a reasonable processing fee per incident.

5.6 TRANSMISSION OF INVOICES, DUE DATE

Limoport shall include the applicable invoice in the email sent to the user. If payment is made by credit card, the applicable compensation is due immediately.

Limoport does not provide any guarantee that the website will function free of interruption and error or that any errors will be corrected.

6.5 INDEMNITY FROM THE USER

The user shall indemnify Limoport for all claims and costs, including reasonable costs for a legal defense, which a third party asserts against Limoport owing to a non-contractual use of the BL Tools or because of a violation of these General Terms & Conditions.

9.1 WHOLE AGREEMENT, WRITTEN FORM

These General Terms & Conditions constitute the entire agreement between Limoport and the user for the contractually agreed services. There are no collateral agreements. Amendments and additions to this Agreement must be made in writing to be valid.

9.2 OFFSET, RETENTION AND ASSIGNMENT

The user may only set off against Limoport’s claims and assert retention rights if their counterclaims are legally established or undisputed. This also applies to the user’s notice of defects.

The user may only assert retention rights from claims under section to the extent that they are based on the same contractual relationship.

The user is not entitled to assign claims from the contractual relationship to third parties without the express written consent of Limoport.

9.3 APPLICABLE LAW, COURT OF JURISDICTION

The law of Switzerland applies to all legal relations between Limoport and the user.

The exclusive place of jurisdiction is Zurich, insofar as the user is a merchant according to the Swiss Code of Obligations, or, upon suing, has no fixed place of residence in Switzerland. Legally binding jurisdictions remain unaffected.

9.4 SEVERABILITY CLAUSE

Should individual provisions of these T&Cs be or become ineffective, unenforceable or contain gaps, the remaining regulations will remain effective.
