§ 6 Transport of people and things
1. Customers must behave at all times in such a way that the safety of the vehicle, the driver and the company, their own safety and the safety of other passengers and other third parties are not endangered. They are responsible for complying with the obligation to wear a seat belt, as well as for supervising and complying with the obligation to secure minors accompanying them, as well as for supervising and properly securing animals they accompany. Customers must ensure that they or any underage passengers accompanying them only open the vehicle doors when requested by the driver. Customers and people accompanying them are nevertheless obliged to check whether it is safe to open the doors. In the event of damage, customers and people accompanying them are liable for any damage caused by them.
2. Taxi Eddy is free to choose and equip the vehicle. Customers must indicate any special transport requests, in particular due to health requirements, or arrival dates when ordering and when starting the journey.
3. If fares are calculated based on kilometers and the number of people, the underlying route will be determined together with the customer at the customer's request before the start of the journey. If fares are independent of kilometers, especially for airport transfers, Taxi Eddy is free to choose the route.
4. Baggage carried and accompanied animals are in the customer's care during transport, even if Taxi Eddy helps with proper loading and securing. If securing the load is not possible or items can only be loaded at risk to the driver, vehicle or third parties, such items may be excluded from transport.

Damage to the paintwork of bicycles, wheelchairs and strollers etc. transported by Taxi Eddy cannot be ruled out, even if they are loaded and transported correctly, and are therefore also to be viewed as natural wear and tear.
2. Courier goods that are transported without the customer's personal accompaniment are excluded from the warranty unless a suitable confirmation of acceptance has been countersigned by Taxi Eddy before the start of the journey.
3. Possible warranty claims regarding damage to transported goods must be brought to the attention of Taxi Eddy immediately at the end of the journey.
4. Customers are responsible for any physical injury or property damage resulting from their own consumption of food in the vehicle, even if they were permitted to do so by Taxi Eddy.
5. Taxi Eddy is only liable for damage caused to the customer due to unpunctual departure or arrival at the destination if
a. Compliance with a specific departure and arrival time has been expressly agreed in advance between Taxi Eddy and the customer
b. and the disruption in performance does not arise from natural disasters, unforeseen technical defects, traffic congestion, bad weather, force majeure, accidents or for reasons within the control of the customer. Taxi Eddy is also not liable if the customer has determined the departure or arrival time himself and has ignored normal travel delays such as traffic jams. In particular, short-term flight schedule changes or the customer arriving early or late compared to the planned arrival time do not release the customer from their obligation to provide services.
6. Warranty claims that arise from deficiencies in performance are ultimately excluded if they are not asserted in writing within 14 days of the service being provided.
7. Taxi Eddy's liability for damage that is not physical injury or damage to health is limited to twice the fare, provided that the customer's damage was not caused intentionally or through gross negligence by Taxi Eddy.
8. The customer is liable within the scope of the statutory provisions for all property damage or physical damage caused by him. This also applies to damage caused by underage accompanying persons, animals brought along or transported goods that occur to the property of Taxi Eddy or third parties for health or negligent reasons. This also applies in particular to damage caused by contamination through vomiting, incontinence or food brought along. When quantifying such damage, Taxi Eddy will, in addition to the removal, also claim lost profits due to damage caused by ventilation or drying.
9. If a care facility, a supervisor or another natural person/institution appointed to supervise a person under care books transport for the person under care, Taxi Eddy must be informed of this circumstance. The booking agency/person is then liable for all damage caused to Taxi Eddy by the person being transported and under care during the journey or in connection with the journey.
