  1. Scope of Application

    It is of great importance to PIM that complete transparency is maintained towards all parties and all parties have confidence in the services offered. For this reason the General Standard Terms and Conditions of PIM shall apply as a foundation for all business relations between USERS and PIM. These relate to all offers made to USERS for passenger transports via TALIXO, the arrangement of such services by PIM and any other use of the platform or its services. Any General Standard Terms and Conditions of PROVIDERS or USERS shall only become a part of the contract if their applicability has been expressly agreed upon and PIM has given its written consent thereto.

  2. Subject of the Agreement

    Passenger transport services rendered by PROVIDERS to USERS are arranged via TALIXO, the booking platform provided by PIM. PIM enables PROVIDERS to offer their services to USERS on TALIXO. The PROVIDERS post their transport service offer including their qualifications, vehicles, prices and other data relevant to their services on TALIXO, and PIM presents this service offer to the USERS on behalf of and for the account of the PROVIDERS. Via TALIXO by PIM, USERS may search for available vehicles and transport capacities and book them through the said platform. PIM shall act as an agent between the PROVIDER and USER with respect to such passenger transport services. The business relationship established for the purposes of such passenger transport shall only exist between the PROVIDER and USER.

  3. Conclusion of the Contract, Modifications to the Contract

    1. Arrangement of Passenger Transport Services Rendered by Taxi Companies

      As regards passenger transports by taxi companies in their capacity as PROVIDERS, PIM shall exclusively act as an agent for bookings for such PROVIDERS and shall present the PROVIDERS' service offers on TALIXO on their behalf. USERS search and find suitable transport services on TALIXO and select such services there. PIM then passes on the USERS' requests to the appropriate PROVIDER who is the selected service provider. The USER receives a provisional, non-binding confirmation of reservation from PIM immediately after the enquiry has been completed. The contract for rendering transport services shall not be concluded until the job has been accepted by the PROVIDER. The contract shall be exclusively concluded between the USER and the selected PROVIDER. The conclusion of the said contract shall be documented by way of a binding booking confirmation sent by PIM on behalf of the PROVIDER to the USER. The transport service shall be rendered by the PROVIDER. The transport service shall be accounted for on the basis of the contractual and statutory provisions (e.g. taxi fare) between the PROVIDER and the USER. PIM may be contractually entrusted with the management of the accounts for passenger transport services for the USER in the name and on behalf of the PROVIDER.

    2. Arrangement of Passenger Transport Services Rendered by Rental Car Companies

      As regards passenger transports by rental car companies in their capacity as PROVIDERS, PIM shall exclusively act as an agent for bookings and present the PROVIDERS' service offers on TALIXO on their behalf. USERS search and find suitable transport services on the PIM platform and select such services there. PIM verifies the availability of the USER's selected booking enquiry. When availability has been confirmed and the transport job has been booked in the PROVIDER's system, the USER shall receive a binding booking confirmation from PIM in the name and on behalf of the selected PROVIDER. The contract for rendering the transport service shall be exclusively concluded between the PROVIDER and USER. The transport service shall be rendered by the PROVIDER. The transport service shall be accounted for based on the contractual provisions between the PROVIDER and the USER.

  4. Prices, Fees and Terms of Payment

    1. The use of the services provided by PIM as part of an "Individual Account" on TALIXO is free of charge. For the use of PIM's services as part of a "Corporate Account" on TALIXO, PIM reserves the right to contractually agree a fixed monthly user fee.

PIM works with a reputable provider for electronic payments which manages credit card details and handles payments. PIM does not store the USERS' payment information (see also TALIXO Privacy Statement).
    2. When a booking is made by a USER, PIM authorises the USER's credit card payment with the payment provider who then charges the agreed amount to the USER's account after the USER has completed his/her journey with the relevant PROVIDER. To enable the said charge to the account, the final amount charged shall be authorised by the USER at the end of the trip by PIN or by signature. PIM shall not make the charge to the USER's account without such authorisation.
    3. The amount charged is based on the taximeter price for taxis or the fixed price for rental cars plus any additional charges incurred as a result of any of the aforesaid changes (particularly including route charges, waiting times etc.).

      In the event of negligence, the liability of PIM shall be restricted to compensation for the typical foreseeable damage. In the event of slight negligence, however, PIM shall only be liable if PIM has breached any duty whose fulfilment is a precondition for the proper performance of the contract and, in particular, for the use of the booking platform in a manner that is commercially appropriate with regard to both parties' interests, and on whose fulfilment the USER may rely.

    2. The aforesaid restrictions shall also apply in favour of PIM's statutory representatives and persons employed by PIM in performing its obligations if any claims are asserted directly against it.

If these Standard Terms and Conditions fail to cover any item which requires regulation, the statutory provisions or, as applicable, the principles developed on the basis of previous court decisions shall apply in addition.
