SECTION A – GENERAL TERMS

A.1.
Subject of contract and how MOIA works

A.1.1.
The provider of the MOIA App and your contractual partner when using the MOIA App is MOIA GmbH, Alexanderufer 5, 10117 Berlin, Germany, registered with the commercial register of the Berlin Charlottenburg District Court, no. HRB 189716 B (“MOIA”, “we”).

A.1.2.
Based on the terms of use for the MOIA App set out in Section B., MOIA allows the user (“user”, “you”) to use the mobile application provided by MOIA (“MOIA App”).

A.1.3.
The MOIA brand stands for an innovative mobility concept that is intended to offer people an attractive alternative to using their own vehicle. To this end, a range of mobility services can be offered to complement existing transport services (collectively referred to as “MOIA Mobility Services”). Customers book MOIA Mobility Services using the MOIA App, entering their starting point and destination. Each customer is shown an estimated journey time and arrival time as well as the price to pay and has the option of requesting the trip. The MOIA Vehicle (“MOIA Vehicle”) is then used to serve the travel request. It is hoped that the shared use of MOIA Mobility Services will reduce individual transport in cities, thus minimizing the associated noise pollution, emissions and congestion.

A.1.4.
The use of a MOIA Mobility Service requires users to have first concluded a contract against payment for the provision of such a MOIA Mobility Service (“Transport Contract”). The MOIA Mobility Services provider and your contractual partner for Transport Contracts made is either MOIA Operations Germany GmbH (“MOIA Operations”) or a third-party provider under the MOIA brand (“Cooperation Partner”). MOIA Operations or Cooperation Partners are referred to below as “MOIA Providers”.

A.1.5.
You can use the MOIA App to request, book, and pay for MOIA Mobility Services from MOIA Providers. These in-app services that make it possible to use MOIA Mobility Services are provided at no charge and are referred to below as “App Services”.

A.1.6.
App Services and MOIA Mobility Services are different, independent services that are provided by different contractual partners. App Services and MOIA Mobility Services are referred to below as “MOIA Services”.

A.1.7.
You could request, book, and/or pay MOIA Mobility Services through platforms of third-party-providers (“Third-Party Platform”). Therefore, the conditions set out in Section A.2. will apply.

A.1.8.
The terms and conditions of MOIA Mobility Services are set out in Section C.

A.1.9.
MOIA and/or the MOIA Providers are entitled, at their sole discretion, to change or suspend the MOIA Services with future effect (i.e. not with respect to any Bookings already made) at any time and without individual notice. Information about the discontinuation of MOIA Services shall be provided in good time via the MOIA App and/or on the website www.moia.io.

A.2.
Booking of MOIA Mobility Services via Third-Party Platforms

A.2.1.
MOIA Mobility Services could be requested, booked, and paid via Third-Party Platforms.

A.2.2.
When using a Third-Party Platform, the terms and conditions of the respective provider may apply in addition to these general terms and conditions. You may need to open a user account in order to use the Third-Party Platform.

A.2.3.
The use of a Third-Party Platform may incur additional charges. You will be informed of these by the third-party provider.

A.2.4.
We are not responsible for any Third-Party Platform and we do not offer them ourselves. Neither MOIA nor MOIA Providers are liable for any problem occurring by booking MOIA Mobility Services via Third-Party Platforms, as long as not caused intentionally or by gross negligence.

A.3.
Other General Terms

A.3.1.
MOIA is entitled to adjust these general terms and conditions for the future to the extent that the changes are reasonable for you. We will inform you of changes in good time before they come into effect by sending notification by e-mail and/or via the MOIA App. Changes shall be deemed approved if you do not object them in text form (e.g. via e-mail) within one month of the announcement of the respective change. MOIA shall specifically point this consequence out when announcing the amendment. Any Booking made prior to the amendment shall be excluded from such changes.

A.3.2.
Should any provision of these terms and conditions be ineffective or void, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.

A.3.3.
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies to these terms and conditions and the legal relationship between the parties, under exclusion of the UN Sales Convention.

A.3.4.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that neither MOIA nor MOIA Providers do participate in dispute resolution procedures before a consumer arbitration board.

A.3.5.
The European Commission has set up an online dispute resolution platform, which can be accessed at: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. Consumers can use the online dispute resolution platform to settle disputes arising from online purchases or service contracts without going to court.

A.3.6.
If contradictions exist between the German and the English version of these general terms and conditions or the MOIA Code of Conduct, only the German version is authoritative.

A.3.7.
The incorporation of maps occurs in part using Google Maps, a service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). The Google terms of service apply to use of this third-party service.

For this to succeed, it is crucial that passengers feel comfortable and, more important, safe in MOIA vehicles. The MOIA Code of Conduct is applies to all passengers. 

  1. Treating others with respect is a basic requirement when using our services. This means not only being polite to our driver, but also showing consideration and respect to other passengers and the property of other people. 
  2. There is no place for illegal behavior in a MOIA vehicle. We will immediately report any violations of the local law to the competent authority as soon as they come to our attention.  
  3. Behave as you would expect others to do. Be considerate and use the MOIA vehicle in a way that allows all other passengers to enjoy a comfortable and pleasant journey (“fair use”). You are liable for any damage you cause to the MOIA vehicle.
  4. Make it possible for other passengers to enjoy a pleasant driving experience and do not bother anyone with continuous phone calls or loud music and videos.
  5. Safety first. Follow your driver’s instructions throughout the journey and do not distract them while they are driving.

They are shown the estimated boarding and arrival time as well as the price to be paid, conditionally upon the availability of a vehicle.  This transportation offer can be accepted by the passenger in the next step by clicking on the booking button. The MOIA vehicle then serves the respective trip request.

A.3.2. The use of MOIA mobility services requires the prior conclusion of a paid contract for the provision of such MOIA mobility service ("transportation contract"). The provider of MOIA mobility services and the contractual partner for the provision of transportation is either MOIA Operations Germany GmbH or a third-party provider acting under the MOIA brand or on behalf of MOIA.

A.3.3. MOIA mobility services can be requested, booked, and paid for via the MOIA app.

A.4 Other regulations

A.4.1. The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from the transport contract is the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg.

A.4.2. The European Commission has established a European online dispute resolution platform at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. Consumers can use the online dispute resolution platform for out-of-court settlements of disputes arising from online sales or service contracts.

A.4.4. The map material is partly integrated via Google Maps, a service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google's terms of use apply to the use of this third-party service.

PART B – CONDITIONS FOR MOIA MOBILITY SERVICES

B.1 Entitlement to transport, conclusion of the transport contract when booking via the MOIA app, restrictions

B.1.1. The booking of the transportation contract is made exclusively with the passenger's user account via the MOIA app or via the booking platform of a third-party provider, such as the HVV Switch app. The offer to book MOIA mobility services is subject to the explicit proviso that sufficient seats are available in the MOIA vehicle that satisfy the passenger’s booked service quality (e.g. child seat or disabled seat) and that the mobility services are used within the business territory and business hours.

B.1.2. When using a third-party platform, the terms and conditions of the respective third-party provider(s) may apply in addition to these Terms of Transportation. The third-party provider may request that you first open a user account in order to use the third-party platform.

B.1.3. MOIA is not responsible for the third-party platform and does not offer it. MOIA is not liable for errors in booking via a third-party platform unless it’s due to intent or gross negligence on the part of MOIA.

B.1.4. The passenger can correct any input errors before booking, for example the starting point, destination or the starting time. After booking, it is possible to cancel the connection free of charge within the time periods defined under B.4.7. According to the legal regulation, there is no right of cancellation for the booking of MOIA mobility services.

B.1.5. After booking a MOIA vehicle, it is not possible to change the destination or the number of passengers.

B.1.6. Discounts, with the exception of the discount for accompanied children, are generally granted for bookings made via the MOIA app as well as the hvv Switch app. For the duration of a transitional period until the implementation of the necessary technical functions within the hvv Switch App, the granting of discounts is only possible for bookings via the MOIA App. When claiming any discounts, the passenger is obliged to provide truthful information. If the circumstances entitling to claim discounts change, the passenger is obliged to take these circumstances into account when making the booking.

B.1.7. Due to technical reasons, the booking of an accessible vehicle for wheelchair users can only be made via the MOIA app. Passengers with limited mobility can only be transported in wheelchairs if capacities are available in the corresponding special vehicles. If no capacities are available within 60 minutes, the passenger will not be shown any travel options.

B.2 Booking for fellow passengers, Usage by people with severe disabilities and minors, luggage, wheelchairs

B.2.1. The requested connection can also be ordered (only) for third parties ("co-travelers"). The number of co-travelers is to be specified during the booking, depending on the availability for the connection. The booking passenger must pay the fare for all fellow passengers as part of the booking.

B.2.2. Passengers who are entitled to free transportation in accordance with § 228 SGB IX may book free rides in conformity with the legal provisions only for themselves and, if applicable, a registered accompanying person. The booking must be made via the MOIA account of the person with a severe disability, whose status is previously stored in the customer profile by Customer Service after verification of the legitimation documents (severely disabled person's ID card, supplementary sheet with token, ID card or other ID to establish identity). A free ride can also be booked exclusively for the accompanying person under the legal conditions. In the case of bookings for more than one seat, free transportation is provided only for the person with a severe disability making the booking and, if applicable, for the registered accompanying person. In addition, the usual tariff fees apply, whereby the first person traveling for a fee is treated like the first person traveling for a fee on a normal group trip; in this case, the full basic fee applies for the first person. Bookings exclusively for third parties who do not belong to the eligible group of persons within the meaning of § 228 SGB IX are also possible; for this, the passenger must switch off the status of free transportation in the app in advance. Bookings for additional or other people with severe disabilities who are not identical to the person making the booking are not possible.

B.2.3. Fellow passengers must be made aware of these Terms of Transportation and the MOIA Code of Conduct at the time of ordering at the latest. The passenger is the contact person for all claims against fellow passengers. Upon request, the passenger is obliged to provide the name and address as well as a contact option of the fellow passenger(s) so that claims against them can be enforced.

B.2.4. The passenger may book a ride for a minor as a legal guardian or with the consent of a legal guardian. The passenger shall ensure that a minor is supervised to the required extent. The MOIA provider expressly assumes no responsibility for the supervision of the minor. 

B.2.5. The passenger is responsible for ensuring that the minor is properly secured in a legally required child seat. A child seat for a minor can be booked via the MOIA app if the child seat is available in the respective business area. An overview of available child seats can be accessed in the Help Center.

B.2.6. Before the age of 6, minors may only be transported in the company of a supervisor.

B.2.7. Between the ages of 6 and 14, minors may be transported in the company of a suitable supervisor or unaccompanied if they are mature enough in terms of their development and have the written consent of their legal guardian. The written consent must be presented to the driving personnel upon request.

B.2.8. Between the ages of 14 and 18, minors may be transported in the company of a supervisor or unaccompanied if they are sufficiently mature in terms of their development and have the prior consent of their legal guardian(s). Otherwise, § 3 and § 4 (4) BefBedV apply accordingly.

B.2.9. The passenger is allowed to carry light luggage if this does not endanger the safety and order of the operation and other passengers are not inconvenienced. The final decision on this matter is made by the driving personnel of the MOIA vehicle. The passenger is obliged to stow their luggage safely. Dangerous objects may not be carried. Bicycles cannot be carried.

B.2.10. The driving personnel may direct passengers to specific seats if this is necessary for operational reasons or to fulfill the obligation to transport. Seats must be made available for severely disabled passengers, passengers with impaired walking ability, elderly or infirm passengers, expectant mothers, and passengers with small children.

B.2.11. The transport of baby carriages and wheelchairs, including electric wheelchairs, is only permitted if the design of the baby carriages, wheelchairs and vehicles permits it and there is no reduction in traffic safety. The driving personnel will decide on this on a case-by-case basis. Baby carriages and orthopedic aids always have priority over all other items.

B.2.12. The wheelchair is suitable as a seat if

  1. there is a power knot system on the wheelchair,

  2. the wheelchair is certified according to ISO 10542 or DIN-7176-19 (incl. test mark on the wheelchair),

  3. the wheelchair does not exceed the max. width of 75 cm, max. length of 100 cm and max. height of 155 cm,

  4. the weight of the wheelchair including the person sitting in it does not exceed 250 kg,

  5. it is not a simple folding wheelchair, and

  6. the wheelchair is undamaged.

The person using the wheelchair must ensure that their wheelchair meets these requirements. In addition, the wheelchairs must not have any attachments, medical equipment, etc. Passengers can only be transported sitting in a wheelchair if the dimensions and requirements mentioned are fully complied with and the wheelchair can be appropriately secured. Folding wheelchairs are only permitted if the passenger can get in and out independently. The folded wheelchair must then be stowed safely by the driving personnel.

B.2.13. The transfer of a person using a wheelchair to an ordinary vehicle seat is checked by the vehicle personnel before the start of the journey. If this proves possible, the vehicle personnel may, at their own discretion, make appropriate instructions, considering the suitability of the wheelchair for transportation.

B.2.14. There is no entitlement to the carriage of animals. This does not apply to guide dogs accompanying a blind person, guide dogs for the disabled and assistance dogs. The animals carried must be accommodated and supervised in such a way that the safety and order of the operation is not impaired and passengers are not endangered or inconvenienced. Animals may only be carried on a leash or otherwise secured and under the supervision of a suitable person. The carriage of animals on vehicle seats is prohibited.

B.2.15. If the passenger finds lost property, they must hand it over directly to the driving personnel. Lost items are returned to the owner by the lost and found office of the transport operator against payment of a fee for storage. Immediate return to the owner by the driving personnel is permitted if the owner can identify himself/herself as the owner of the lost property. The owner of the lost item must confirm receipt of the item in writing.

B.3 Payment of MOIA Mobility Services

B.3.1. For transportation, the established transportation fees must be paid. The applicable tariff can be viewed at moia.io/tariff.

B.3.2. Costs only arise when the MOIA mobility services are ordered bindingly in the MOIA app ("booking"). All payment claims related to the Booking are due immediately.

B.3.3. Payment for MOIA mobility services and any other fees owed from or in connection with the use of MOIA mobility services (e.g., refund claims, service fees, etc.) will be made via the MOIA app; MOIA will handle the payment to the MOIA provider together with a payment service provider. MOIA is not obligated to provide a booking with cash. The booking is only possible via the respective booking platform with electronic means of payment.

B.3.4. It is possible to store various means of payment or payment services in the MOIA app and remove them at any time. 

B.3.5. MOIA debits the selected payment account belonging to the means of payment with the respective due amount if open charges for the booking of a connection are to be cleared.

B.3.6. As a rule, MOIA makes repayments to the payment account the original payment was made with.

B.3.7. When using third-party payment services, the terms and conditions of the respective provider(s) may apply in addition to these Terms of Transportation. The provider of the payment services may require that you first open a user account in order to use these payment services. MOIA is not responsible for these payment services and does not offer them itself.

B.3.8. Additional charges may apply when using third-party payment services. These will be communicated by the payment service provider. Our obligation according to § 312 (4) BGB to provide a common and reasonable free payment option remains unaffected.

B.3.9. Payment for MOIA mobility services may also be made, where applicable, with the help of package offers (e.g. certain trip quotas) or from purchased credits. Purchase and redemption are governed by the specific terms and conditions of the respective offer.

B.3.10. MOIA mobility services can be paid for using promotional vouchers (e.g. new customer, corporate customer or member-get-member programs). The promotional voucher must have been deposited and activated in the app prior to booking. Purchase and redemption are governed by the special conditions of the respective program. 

B.3.11. The exchange or refund of a booked trip is not possible. Only in cases of special hardship, MOIA may allow an exchange or refund of the booking for reasons of equity. The passenger's statutory rights remain unaffected. Otherwise, § 10 BefBedV shall apply accordingly.

B.4 MOIA Mobility services, Waiting time, Disruptions in operation

B.4.1. An obligation to provide transportation exists in principle if the passenger has booked a connection for which a charge has been made and transportation is not prevented by circumstances unforeseeable by the MOIA provider and for which the MOIA provider is not responsible and MOIA or the MOIA provider cannot avert or remedy these circumstances through reasonable expenditure, e.g., force majeure.

B.4.2. Upon entering the MOIA vehicle, the driving personnel may ask the passenger for the booking confirmation or name for identification purposes. Persons with severe disabilities who are transported free of charge must also show the driver their severely disabled person's ID card and supplementary sheet with token without being asked to do so.

B.4.3. Passengers must board and disembark quickly to shorten the stopping time. When boarding and exiting the vehicle, passengers must behave in such a way that they do not endanger other road users. Boarding and exiting is only possible at the (virtual) stops. The available seat belts are to be used. All passengers must remain seated until the vehicle stops. Sudden and heavy braking of the vehicle is to be expected.

B.4.4. To use MOIA mobility services, the passenger and their fellow passengers must be at the starting point at the departure time displayed in the MOIA app. The starting point is displayed in the MOIA app. Please note: Any information in the MOIA app regarding the arrival of the MOIA vehicle, the specific route and/or the travel time may depend on external factors such as the current traffic volume or short-term closures and are therefore only non-binding estimates.

B.4.5. Using the MOIA app, it is possible to track the arrival of MOIA vehicle at the starting point. In case of delays, the passenger and their fellow passengers are obliged to wait up to 15 minutes for the MOIA vehicle.

B.4.6. If the delay exceeds 15 minutes, the passenger will be given the opportunity to cancel the booking within the time displayed in the MOIA app. If the cancellation is used, MOIA will refund the fare to the passenger.

B.4.7. In the case of an ad-hoc booking with an immediate trip request, cancellation is possible free of charge up to 60 seconds after booking. In the case of a pre-booking, a trip can be cancelled free of charge up to 60 minutes before the start of the trip. Otherwise, § 9 and § 10 BefBedV apply accordingly.

B.4.8. MOIA may charge a cancellation fee up to the amount of the total fare if the passenger is not at the starting point or a cancellation is made outside the exceptions in B.4.6. and B.4.7. The fare is not to be paid additionally.

B.4.9. If a booking is not or not completely feasible, for example due to technical or operational problems (e.g. vehicle breakdown, traffic jam) or because a connection is no longer available ("incorrect booking"), the passenger will be informed immediately via the MOIA app, by SMS, cell phone or e-mail. In this case, the fare is automatically refunded. A new MOIA vehicle can be booked via the MOIA app. A new booking of a MOIA vehicle is not made automatically. The passenger's statutory rights remain unaffected.

B.5 Liability for MOIA Mobility Services, User Conduct and Liability, MOIA Code of Conduct

B.5.1. On-demand transports bundle the travel requests of several passengers. To reach the individually desired destination, there is therefore neither a claim to transport on a specific route nor a claim to completion of the journey within the journey time forecast at the time of booking, as both parameters depend on the number and destinations of all passengers of the respective on-demand transport. Unless otherwise provided for by law, deviations from the planned journey time due to traffic obstructions, operational disruptions or interruptions do not justify any claims for compensation; in this case, no guarantee is provided for the adherence to connections.

B.5.2. MOIA Operations Germany GmbH or any of its cooperation partners, including their employees, executive bodies and/or legal representatives, shall be liable without limitation for personal injury insofar as this is attributable t

Tariff Conditions

A.     General Information

The fare is calculated as the sum of the basic fee and the convenience surcharge, minus any discounts. All prices are inclusive of value-added tax.

B.     Basic Fee

A basic fee is to be paid for each passenger of a booking. The amount of the fee depends on the number of passengers in a booking:

  • In case of one person booking a trip, the basic fee is 4 Euros.
  • For the second passenger, an additional basic fee of 2 Euros must be paid.
  • For every further passenger an additional basic fee of 1 Euro each is to be paid.

C.    Comfort Surcharge

In addition to the basic fee, a dynamic comfort surcharge is to be paid. The amount of the comfort surcharge depends on the situational interaction of various influential factors. The main influential factors are:

  • The parameters of the requested trip itself (e.g. day of the week and time, estimated trip duration, start/finish relation).
  • The current environmental conditions (e.g. weather, traffic situation, major events).

  • The current operating situation (e.g. distribution of vehicles in the urban area, charging status, supply/demand ratio, empty kilometers required to bring in a vehicle).

  • Number of passengers per booking (as a rule, the comfort surcharge per person decreases as the number of passengers increases, based on the basic charge).

In addition to the situational features, the comfort surcharge is increased by the use of the advance booking option (,,Pre-Booking") depending on the respective time of booking.

The comfort surcharge is calculated on a non-discriminatory basis. Personal characteristics of the passengers, such as place of residence, age or previous travel history, are not taken into account in the pricing process.

Die aktuellen Umgebungsbedingungen (z.B. Wetter, Verkehrslage, Großveranstaltungen).

D.    Price Limits

The lower limit of the dynamic comfort surcharge is 0 Euros.

The upper limit of the comfort surcharge is determined by the number of passengers per booking and the distance between the point of departure and the point of arrival. The shortest usable route between the nearest stops to the respective departure and destination at the time of booking is decisive.

For the first passenger of a booking, the upper limit of the comfort surcharge is 2,40 Euros per kilometer. For the second passenger of a booking, the upper limit is 2,20 Euros per kilometer. For each additional passenger, the upper limit is 2 Euros per kilometer.

The absolute limit of the total fare for bookings with up to 6 people is 70 Euros.

E.     Service Option „Express“

MOIA offers passengers the "Express" service option before completing the booking, which can be selected in addition to the standard pooling service ("Classic") by paying a surcharge.

In the express service, the maximum communicated/announced trip duration is shorter than in the standard pooling service ("Classic"). In addition, passengers are offered shorter walking distances to the boarding and drop-off points. Passengers also know the specific stop to which they have to go when boarding before completing the booking.

The additional fee for the "Express" service option is at least 0.50 Euros.

F.     Pre-Booking

("Pre-Booking") As an alternative to the immediate trip, passengers can book a trip for up to 23 hours in the future. The passenger can select the desired start of the journey when booking. Pre-booking a trip may result in additional costs within the calculation of the dynamic comfort surcharge.

G.    Wheelchair transportation

The wheelchair service is booked at no extra charge to the fare components regulated in the tariff.

H.    Free Transportation

Accompanied children between the ages 0 to 14 are transported free of charge.

Severely disabled persons are transported free of charge within the requirements of § 228 SGB IX. A severely disabled person's ID card with a valid token must be presented during the booking process.

The accompanying person of a severely disabled person is also transported free of charge if the eligibility to bring an accompanying person is proven and this is stated in the ID card of the severely disabled person.

Additional services, in particular the "Express" service option and the advance booking function, can be booked in addition by the holder of the severely disabled ID card. In this case, the difference may be charged.

I.      Discounts

The following discounts are granted on the total amount under the above conditions.

  • The HVV discount is 1 Euro per trip. It applies if the booking customer has an HVV subscription. The discount can be applied once per booking and can be combined with other discounts; it is applied before any percentage discounts. The progressive pricing results in a lower total price for the other passengers of the booking as well.
  • Children traveling alone between the ages of 6 and 14 receive a 50% discount.
  • Subscriptions consist of a permanent discount granted in exchange for a monthly payment. "Smart Saver 25" and "Smart Saver 50" grant a 25% discount and a 50% discount on the total price, respectively.
