III.     Service Agreements – Contractual Relationship & Conclusion

  1.  Contractual Relationship. BESTDRIVER Berlin enables Users to arrange and schedule Services with Service Providers (i.e. licensed chauffeur / limousine companies). BESTDRIVER Berlin arranges agreements on Services (“Service Agreement”) which are concluded between the User and the Service Provider directly. Thus, Users are entitled to file claims against Service Providers directly. The User acknowledges that BESTDRIVER Berlin serves strictly as an intermediate or broker and not as a transportation service provider. The User shall have no claim to the formation or arrangement of Service Agreements.
  2. Conclusion of Service Agreements. Service Agreements between the User and Service Providers are concluded through the Platform as follows:  First the User indicates the desired service (e.g., one-way or hourly booking) and fills in the booking screen of the Platform. The fee for the Services will then be displayed for each booking class. The User then chooses a booking class and confirms his/her payment method, the associated billing details, and contact information supporting the provision of Services. The User can review and correct the details of his/her Service request (“Booking Request”) before submitting the Booking Request by clicking the button “BOOK NOW” (or a button with a similar indication). When a User submits a Booking Request whether via the Platform or by phone or by email to BESTDRIVER Berlin , the User makes an offer for the conclusion of a Service Agreement with a Service Provider. Upon receiving a Booking Request, BESTDRIVER Berlin sends to the User an email to confirm the receipt of the Booking Request, including the details that were received. The Service Agreement between the User and the Service Provider only comes into effect upon BESTDRIVER Berlin ’s submission of a separate statement (“Ride Details”) by email shortly before the ride, stating the name and contact details of the selected Service Provider. If BESTDRIVER Berlin cannot find a Service Provider to fulfil the Booking Request, BESTDRIVER Berlin will inform the User by email that the Booking Request cannot be fulfilled. In addition to these T&C, the Booking Conditions applicable at the time of booking shall apply. The Booking Conditions can be viewed at: https://bestdriver-berlin.de/en/bookingconditions.

IV.    The Cancellation of Service Agreements

  1. Cancellation conditions. The User may cancel Service Agreements free of charge or with costs according to the conditions which apply to the respective booking class agreed upon in the respective Service Agreement. The Booking Conditions are accessible at: https://bestdriver-berlin.de/en/bookingconditions.
  2. Cancellation only via Platform. To warrant a smooth and save transaction, all cancellation requests must be made through the website https://bestdriver-berlin.de, the BESTDRIVER Berlin  app or by phone. Cancellations are not possible by e-mail. BESTDRIVER Berlin  will confirm valid cancellations to the User by e-mail.

V.    The payment of Fees due under the Service Agreements

  1. Fees due. All fees agreed upon in Service Agreements include possible charges and the statutory tax, if applicable. Unless agreed otherwise, the fee for bookings by route applies to the agreed journey without stopovers and without detours. In case of bookings by time or by route, the User must still pay the agreed amount of the fee if the passenger ends the journey early or shortens it.
  2. Invoices. BESTDRIVER Berlin will send an invoice of the fees to the User (exclusively) by e-mail.
  3. Payment method. The fee shall be paid using the payment method chosen by the User during the booking process. For payments upon invoice the fee is payable within 15 days after notification of the invoice.
