Terms and Conditions – APP Payment and Declaration on the Protection of Data
§ 1 Basics; Object
These Terms and Conditions govern the non-cash payments of taxi journeys (hereinafter referred to as “APP payment“) involving the use of the taxi.eu app, and also supplement the Terms and Conditions for taxi customers (general Terms and Conditions) of the taxi.eu app.
APP payment refers to payment transactions in which at least the payer uses mobile electronic means to initiate, authorise or realise the payment of the taxi fare, e.g. by means of mobile devices such as mobile phones or tablet computers. With APP payment, the taxi customer is provided with a non-cash payment option by using the app.
With regard to the payment methods PayPal or customer cards, fms systems GmbH, Hietzinger Hauptstrasse 33, 1130 Vienna, Austria (hereinafter referred to as “fms systems“) shall handle the payment of the fare when using the non-cash payment procedure “APP payment“ with the taxi.eu app. Wirecard AG, Einsteinring 35, 85609 Aschheim, Germany, shall be responsible for the handling of other possible payment methods (particularly credit cards) when using the non-cash payment procedure. The payment procedure shall always be agreed upon the customer and the taxi dispatch centre. The Terms and Conditions of Wirecard AG and the respective taxi dispatch centres shall be applied. Within the framework of the APP payment, fms systems only provides for the (technical) infrastructure. A list of all Partner Dispatch Centers capable to support APP Payment is included in ANNEX 1 of this document. Please consider that the payment methods actually available depend on the Partner Dispatch Center and a guarantee cannot be provided that all payment methods technically supported are actually accepted everywhere for payment.
This Agreement is concluded between the taxi customer (hereinafter referred to as “Customer”) and fms systems. The Terms and Conditions for the APP payment govern the aforementioned contractual relationship. The agreement with the taxi dispatch centre including the payment procedure as well as the contract of carriage between the taxi company and Customer remains unaffected thereby.
§ 2 Rights and Obligations of the Contracting Parties
a.
Rights and Obligations of fms systems:
aa.
fms systems puts the non-cash payment procedure APP payment within the taxi.eu app at Customer’s disposal.

The payment procedure shall always be agreed upon between Customer and the respective taxi dispatch centre.
cc.

d.
Customer may choose a personal identification number (PIN) to protect APP payment and the taxi receipts.
e.
If Customer uses PayPal, Customer pays the amount without indicating the bank or credit card data to taxi.eu. Registration of these data as well as the electronic debit procedure is carried out directly between Customer and PayPal. Customer may be charged for PayPal charges. Customer needs a PayPal account to be able to use the PayPal means of payment.
f.
Customer shall protect the taxi.eu account against unauthorised access and shall not pass the access data, particularly the PIN, to third parties.

Obligations that have existed until this time remain unaffected; Customer / the taxi passenger shall pay open invoices even if the account may have been deleted in the meantime.
§ 6 Liability
a.
Liability will only be applied according to the legal regulations.

b.
Customer shall bear the chargeback costs in the case of a chargeback under the responsibility of Customer.
c.
fms systems shall not be liable for the correct execution of the non-cash payment, particularly in the case of credit card and PayPal payments. In the case of problems and malfunctions when executing the Agreement, in particular regarding incorrect bookings, the user shall approach his contract partner, i.e. the payment service provider.
In the event of a culpable breach by the user of the duty of care, particularly with regard to § 2 b of these Terms and Conditions, the user shall be liable for any damage thereby incurred and shall compensate fms systems.
In an event of an infringement of the law by Customer, Customer shall release fms systems from liability, in particular with regard to a breach of the obligations mentioned under § 2 b.
§ 7 Data Protection
fms systems collects, processes and uses company and personal data within the framework of legal provisions (name, address, phone number). Customer expressly agrees to the collection, processing and use of these personal data by fms systems or a Partner Dispatch Center according to ANNEX 1.
Customer agrees with the use of GPS data when using APP payment for the settlement of the taxi ride (starting and destination addresses, times of departure and arrival), as well as with the automatic transfer of these trip data to the automatically generated receipt and/or bill. The deletion of these data with taxi.eu is carried out in accordance with the legal provisions.
The data necessary for the receipts will be deleted as soon as Customer deletes his receipts from the app.
§ 8 Applicable Law and Court of Jurisdiction
Unless mandatory legal provisions require other regulations, Austrian law will apply and Vienna is the exclusive place of jurisdiction.
§9 Severability Clause
If any stipulation of this Agreement or these Terms and Conditions or a future provision included in these is determined to be entirely or partially invalid or unenforceable or, at a later time, may lose its legal effect or enforceability, all other stipulations shall nevertheless remain in full force. The same applies if it should turn out that there is a loophole. In order to replace the invalid or unenforceable stipulations or to fill the loophole, the Parties agree that an appropriate provision shall be agreed upon that, if legally possible, comes closest to expressing the intention or the purpose of the Agreement if the invalidity, unenforceability or the loophole had been known before. The same applies if the invalidity of a stipulation is based on a scope of service or a time specification (notice period or deadline) stipulated in the Agreement; then, a legally permissible scope of service or a time specification (notice period or deadline) will be seen as agreed upon which comes closest to the intended purpose.
