Citylink Shuttle Passengers Transport L.L.C. will propose to the User a pick-up and drop-off point, which will not necessarily coincide with the preferences indicated by the User, the most common proposal being places close to the User’s preferences that fit with the service.

The Proposal does not include any commitment regarding the service nor will it show the route that the vehicle will follow to take the User from the pick-up point to the drop-off point.

In the event that the period of validity of the Proposal expires without a response from the User, it will be understood that the User rejects the same and the conditions of the Proposal will cease to be valid.

4.3.- Modification of the Route

Citylink Shuttle Passengers Transport L.L.C. is under no obligation to represent the route that the vehicle will follow to take customers from the pick-up point to the drop-off point, as this may be modified along the route.

Likewise, once the User has been picked up (“picked up”), the User may not request the driver to modify the route. However, the User may request to leave the vehicle at any time by informing the driver, without being entitled to a full or partial refund of the amount of the service previously contracted. In any case, the driver will facilitate the User’s disembarkation as soon as possible, respecting in all cases the traffic regulations.

These Terms and Conditions are freely available to all Users of the App.

Access to the contracting process is completely free of charge, with no additional associated costs, apart from the cost of the User having an Internet connection.

The contract between Citylink Shuttle Passengers Transport L.L.C. and the User is understood to be perfected from the moment the User completes the contracting procedure by pressing the “CONFIRM” button, it being understood that the completion of all the phases of the electronic contracting procedure and the inclusion of all the data requested implies, together with the ticking of the corresponding box at the time the User registers, implies acceptance of both these Terms and Conditions and the specific terms and conditions of the third parties providing the service, which will be made available to the User prior to the completion of the contracting process, being a direct manifestation of the User’s willingness to accept them.

When the user confirms the proposal, he will then have to pay the amount that is shown. If the payment is not done, the system can block or ban this user.

6.2.- False information

The buyer is solely responsible for the origin, ownership, completeness, content, truthfulness and accuracy of the information and/or documentation provided through the Citylink Shuttle Passengers Transport L.L.C. App.

The User is informed that he/she does not have the right of withdrawal at the moment when the Proposal has been accepted by the Citylink Shuttle Passengers Transport L.L.C. , i.e. when the execution of the Service has begun.

6.4.- Limitation of liability of the intermediary

The User therefore exonerates Citylink Shuttle Passengers Transport L.L.C. from any liability that may arise from the transport services.

Citylink Shuttle Passengers Transport L.L.C. is not responsible for the security of the data entered in the third-party payment platform, nor for the processing of the same by the owner of the same in the payment process for the service.

App.

Citylink Shuttle Passengers Transport L.L.C. does not undertake to strictly comply with the pick-up and drop-off times indicated in the proposal, as these may be prevented by external elements (unforeseeable changes in urban traffic, strikes, traffic accidents, etc.) or due to force majeure.

In the event that the zone allows Users to pay the price of the services through the App, they may do so by any means of payment available at that time in the App.

Payment for their journey is made in real time through the virtual POS once the details provided have been verified to be correct. Depending on the service area, payment may be made through the App and/or by means of a physical transaction between the User and the carrier.

The payment of financial amounts via the Internet will be made through the platform provided by an external financial institution, which in any case will be hosted on a website under SSL secure protocol. For identification purposes, please confirm that the web address of the page from which you are going to make the payment begins with https://.

In any case, the purchase will only be effective when Citylink Shuttle Passengers Transport L.L.C. receives confirmation of payment from the bank that owns the secure payment gateway. If the transaction is refused for any reason, or the full amount corresponding to the amount of the order (including surcharges for processing costs and bank transfer fees) is not provided, the order will be suspended, informing the User that the transaction has not been finalized.

If the payment is not available through the app, then the user will need to make offline or online payments before accessing the features of the app, and before the delivery of the service.
