1.1. The client enters into the contract on their own behalf and on behalf of their companions for car rental services with or without a driver under the conditions listed below with WEBTAXI S.à r.l. The contract covers car rental services with or without a driver, carried out using different categories of vehicles, namely Mercedes E-Class, S-Class, or V-Class, at various applicable rates. These services may include, among others, VIP services, long-distance transfers, or airport pick-up services.
2. Ordering, Offer, and Conclusion of the Contract
2.1. The order can be placed by the client in writing via postal mail or email.
2.2. Once the order has been placed, WEBTAXI S.à r.l. makes an offer to the client based on the information and preferences provided.
2.3. After the offer has been sent to the client, they have a specific timeframe indicated in the offer to accept it. Once this period expires, the offer is no longer valid and is considered as not accepted.
2.4. If the client accepts the offer within the specified timeframe, they must validate/sign the offer and return it to WEBTAXI S.à r.l., which serves as confirmation. A written contract in two copies will then be sent by WEBTAXI S.à r.l. to the client for signature. If the client does not receive a written contract from WEBTAXI S.à r.l. or does not sign both copies of the contract, their acceptance of the offer shall be considered invalid.
2.5. All agreements, additional agreements, and special requests made by the client at the time of the order must be documented in writing; otherwise, they have no evidential value. In case of discrepancies between the order content and the contract content, the contract content prevails.

3.1. Any modifications requested by the client after the conclusion of the contract are only possible with the express consent of WEBTAXI S.à r.l.

3.4. A modification made by the client between twelve and two hours before the scheduled pick-up time will incur a fee of €5.00.
3.5. If WEBTAXI S.à r.l. is required to make modifications due to circumstances beyond its control, it is obligated to inform the client, provided that these circumstances do not create an unreasonable burden for them.
4. Services Guaranteed by WEBTAXI S.à r.l.

7. Price Modifications
7.1. Unless otherwise specified, WEBTAXI S.à r.l. explicitly reserves the right to modify the price stated in the contract if transport-related costs (such as fuel prices, driver accommodation, parking fees, road taxes, etc.) increase unexpectedly after the conclusion of the contract. In such cases, the client will be informed, and the additional cost must be covered by the client.
8. Transfer of the Contract
8.1. The client (assignor) may transfer their contract to a third party (assignee) before the start of the transfer, provided that the third party meets the specific transfer requirements and that their participation does not violate legal provisions or administrative decisions.

In such cases, WEBTAXI S.à r.l. is entitled to full payment of the amount specified in the contract, unless the company can demonstrate cost savings or gains from reallocating the service originally planned in the contract. This is without prejudice to WEBTAXI S.à r.l.’s right to claim damages.
