Общие условия контракта

GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS

1. Booking, Time frame

1.1. The booking of airport shuttle transfers must arrive at Salzburg Limousine Service 24 hours prior to the requested departure time of the transfer and is valid for the booked transfer only. Private transfers can be booked any time.

1.2. The customer is responsible to choose an early enough pick up time in order to arrive at the airport in due time for the check in. As normal transfer time (without heavy traffic or bad weather conditions) can be counted:
From Zell am See, Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Saalbach, Kaprun, Saalfelden, Viehhofen, Maishofen, Leogang, Maria Alm, to
– Salzburg Airport W.A. Mozart: approx. 3 hours
– Munich Airport Franz Josef Strauss: approx. 5 hours
The customer has to consider that on Saturdays, Holidays and with bad weather and heavy traffic a longer transfer time must be expected.

1.3. It is the customer’s responsibility to provide exact information about the destination (name of the hotel, address, airport terminal etc.). The location for drop off and pick up must be accessibly by public roads.
In case the given information is not correct, the driver will drive round for 10 minutes (shuttle-transfers) trying to find it. After that due to the time schedule he will have no option but to leave the customer at the nearest tourist information (irrespective of the time of the day). Therewith Salzburg Limousine Service has fulfilled its obligations from the transfer order. With private transfers the driver will continue to look for it. If this needs more than 10 minutes, there will be EUR 1,80 charged for any additional kilometer. This additional price has to be paid immediately after the transfer to the driver.

2. Children, Physical Infirmity, Handicapped Persons

2.1. According to statutory provisions every person (babies and children too) has to sit on a seat. Proper children’s seats have to be ordered with the booking and the age/weight of the child has to be given.

2.2. Likewise correct information about disabilities has to be given with the booking as the vehicles might not be adequate for persons with special needs. In case that circumstances come up during the stay (e.g. a leg in plaster as a result of a ski accident) Salzburg Limousine Service has to be informed at least 48 hours prior to the transfer. Salzburg Limousine Service reserves its right to ask for a medical attestation about the transportability of the customer.

2.3. In case that there is any danger or risk for the transfer due to a customer being a danger to himself because of his physical or mental state of health Salzburg Limousine Service will not incur any liability for bodily harm, including death.

3. Payment, Ticket

3.1. Payment for the transfer is required at the time of booking (shuttle) and with dept-clearing effect only when done via the homepage-link of Salzburg Limousine Service. Payment for private transfers can be agreed individually. The transfer order comes into effect after Salzburg Limousine Service has dispatched the confirmation about the transfer/payment with booking number and pin-code with shuttle transfers, with private transfers by dispatching the booking confirmation. This written confirmation (as well as a confirmation for modifications or changes in booking) is the only valid ticket and has to be presented to the driver before the booked transfer.

3.2. The customer has to take care of the safekeeping of the confirmation/ticket as well as for the secrecy of the pin-code. Salzburg Limousine Service will not compensate for any loss. A transfer without ticket can be refused.

4. Transfer

4.1. Shared shuttle transfers run on scheduled times from the airports to popular ski resort destinations. There will be stops on the route in order to pick up or drop off other passengers. Thus the transfer time will last longer than on a direct private transfer. Private transfers take place as individually agreed.

4.2. Salzburg Limousine Service reserves its right for minor alteration of the transfers provided that there will be no major change in the transfer time.
Due to organizational reasons on shuttle transfers it might be necessary for the passanger to change to another vehicle en route (without any additional costs for the passanger).

4.3. The customer is obliged to present the booking confirmation/ticket to the driver before the transfer. If the customer cannot show the ticket the transport can be refused.

4.4. The destination must be accessible on public roads. Should it be impossible, for whatever reasons (i.e. roadblocks for a certain type of vehicles due to bad weather) to get to the drop-off/pick-up place directly, Salzburg Limousine Service will assist with advice. It might become necessary to change the means of transport in order to reach the destination. After the customer has changed to another means of transportation Salzburg Limousine Service has fulfilled its obligations and there will be no compensation for any outlay in the course of the change. Possible additional costs have to be paid by the customer.

4.5. For transfers to the airport the customer is picked up according to the given data in the booking (location and time). The customer will be picked up at the hotel entrance. The time frame for the pick-up is approximately half an hour. If the customer is not there the driver will ask at the reception desk. If there is no reception or if it is not possible for the customer to appear immediately the transfer will depart. In this case Salzburg Limousine Service has fulfilled its obligations. There will be no refund or any compensation paid.

4.6. Due to statutory provisions a certain number of persons are allowed per car. Where two or more persons are included on the same shuttle booking Salzburg Limousine Service reserves its right to transport the customers in different cars. There is no right that one group is driven in one car only.

4.7. Smoking, drinking and eating is not permitted in Salzburg Limousine Service vehicles. Food and drinks are transported in the trunk compartment.

4.8. Damage caused to a car by a customer has to be paid by him/her immediately.

For any changes done not via customer login but in written form or on the phone Salzburg Limousine Service will charge EUR 10,00 per passenger. The changes get valid after Salzburg Limousine Service has dispatched the confirmation for the modification/payment. The confirmation is part of the ticket and has to be presented to the driver together with the booking confirmation.

5.2. The customer is entitled to cancel a transfer 14 days prior to the date of the transfer (day of the transfer not counted).

Should the transfer become impossible or dangerous for reasons beyond Salzburg Limousine Service’s bearing (i.e. avalanches, landslides, floods, roadblocks etc.) we are entitled to cancel the transfer. The paid amount for the cancelled transfer (less bank-/credit card fees) will be refunded to the customer. No further claims will be accepted by Salzburg Limousine Service.

5.4. If a customer misses the flight or the flight is delayed etc. the customer has to notify it to Salzburg Limousine Service as soon as possible under the mobile phone number of Salzburg Limousine Service. If the customer cannot manage to be with the shuttle at the booked transfer time it is deemed to be no-show. In this case the paid transfer price is non-refundable. But, Salzburg Limousine Service will try to place the customer on one of the next available transfers upon arrival. If a seat is available there will be no additional transfer fees charged. This is a courtesy and at the sole discretion of the Salzburg Limousine Service management. With private transfers the new pick up time will be agreed with the customer; any excess expenditure due to changes (futile pick up attempt, waiting time etc.) has to be paid by the customer in addition to the transfer costs directly to the driver.

Any excess luggage must be declared at the time of booking. Salzburg Limousine Service reserves the right to charge an excess luggage fee.

The written report has to be forwarded to Salzburg Limousine Service. If the customer refrains from informing the driver immediately and/or giving a written report to Salzburg Limousine Service it has no influence on the warranty claim.
