    These terms and conditions ("Terms") have been issued by Cabonline Group AB ("Cabonline"), a Swedish limited liability corporation with registration number 556552-1183 and registered address Box 16017, 103 21 Stockholm. In these the Terms "we", "our" or "us" refer to Cabonline and "you", "yours" and "your" refer to the person who enters into the agreement with Cabonline.

    The following Terms sets out the conditions for using our reservation service for taxi transportation as well as associated services, e.g. an overview of previous trips, pre-registered payment details or other services as from time to time made available (the "Services") through Cabonline’s mobile application, website or through our call centres (jointly referred to as "platforms").

    As these Terms govern your access or usage of Services made available by Cabonline and are part of your contract with Cabonline we kindly ask you to read them carefully and thoroughly. Cabonline may amend the Terms from time to time. Amendments will be effective upon Cabonline posting the updated Terms. Your continued access and usage of the Services after such posting constitutes your approval of the amendments.

    The Terms constitute a part of every individual booking or purchase made through Cabonline. By registering an account at Cabonline you hereby confirm that you are bound by the Terms. If you do not accept these Terms you are not allowed to access or use the Services.

    1. SCOPE OF SERVICES
      Unless otherwise is agreed in a separate written agreement with us, we only offer a platform that makes it possible to reserve taxi transportation with taxi companies ("Suppliers"). The Suppliers can advertise their transportation services in the platform, and the users can use the platforms to make reservations with the Suppliers. By making a reservation through us you enter into a legally binding agreement regarding transportations with the Suppliers. We then act as an intermediary between you and the Supplier, sending your reservation details to the Supplier and sending you the booking confirmation and other relevant information related to the booking. We also provide an overview of previous trips. By accepting these Terms, you hereby confirm that we do not provide any transportation services and that all taxi transportation services are provided by independent suppliers.

      The information disclosed in our platforms are based on data provided by the Suppliers. The Suppliers are responsible for providing updated data on rates, availability etc.

    2. BOOKING REQUESTS
      Your booking request will be handled by our servers. We will send your booking information to the Suppliers and check for availability. The booking request will be dispatched to the taxi car closest to your location, that fits your preferences and that is available. An automatic booking confirmation will be sent to you when we have received confirmation from a Supplier that your request has been accepted. Please read the booking confirmation carefully and check whether it is correct and contact us immediately should any information in the booking confirmation not correspond with your request.

      The time for driving to pick up, start of the journey, and arrival at the final destination depends on various factors such as. when the order is made, the availability of cars in the area where the pickup is to take place and the journey begin, the traffic and weather conditions and the demand for other journeys at the time the journey is to take place. It is the traveler's responsibility to plan his trip well in advance, but taking into account the above. Information for the assessment can be obtained from Cabonline customer service or in Cabonline's app for booking travel. However, the points stated are assumptions and recommendations and not binding on Cabonline.

    3. CANCELLATION
      You can cancel your booking and receive a full refund if cancellation is made before a vehicle is dispatched to service your booking request (typically 15 minutes before pick-up time).

    4. ACCOUNT AND PAYMENT TERMS
      In order to use most aspects of the Services, you must register for and maintain an account. You must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction (if different than 18) in order to register an account. Account registration requires you to submit name and phone number. You are also requested to submitted more detailed personal information as well as pre-register payment details. By registering an account you agree to at all times maintain accurate and updated information. You also agree to maintain secrecy and security of your login information (e.g. username, password etc.). You are responsible for the activity on your account, including booking requests. It is therefore important that you regularly change your login information as well as contact us immediately in case you suspect that your account information have been compromised.

      You are not obligated to pre-register payment details on your account. If you register payment details they can be used, if you so choose, to pay trips booked through the platform.

      For bookings paid by debit/credit card or PayPal the following applies. The total fare of your booking will be reserved on your debit/credit card three hours before pick-up time. We take no responsibility for your booking if, for any reason, it proves impossible to reserve the total fare at this time. In this case, your booking will be automatically cancelled and a notification of the cancellation will be sent to you. After a completed trip the total fare will be charged to your debit/credit card shortly after you have reached your destination. Payment is safely processed from your credit/debit card or bank account to the bank account of the Supplier through a third party payment processor. The Supplier will be merchant on record. A receipt will be sent by e-mail and can also be retrieved through your account afterwards. You will not receive a receipt in the car. In the event of errors with respect to electronic payments, you must contact your bank, credit/debit card provider or PayPal, as the case may be, to resolve such issues.

    5. LOCATION SHARING

      When you choose to allow location sharing in our app, we use that data for the following purposes:

      • Find drivers near you

      • Share your location with the driver assigned to your trip to help them navigate to your pickup location

      • Display trip history in your receipts

      If we have your consent to receive marketing communications, we may also use your current location data to send you offers relevant to where you are at the time.

      • Always – your location will be shared

      • While using the app – your location will be shared only while the app is open and on screen

      • Never – you will not share any location data at all

      • Precise / Approximate location – enable us to see your location with more accuracy.
