1 Scope of application

The General Terms and Conditions apply to the use of the personal, electronic or telephone mediation services offered by Shuttler, with which transport services are mediated between the passenger and the carrier.

The carrier's terms and conditions of carriage are accessible on the Shuttler website.

The contractual partner for the arrangement of journeys is Shuttler GmbH with its registered office in Zurich (Hardturmstrasse 161).

In matters concerning the carrier (including rebookings, cancellations, additional services), Shuttler may represent the carrier in accordance with the carrier's conditions of carriage.

• Shuttler may provide for other means of payment.
• Shuttler may charge a fee for payment methods that represent additional administrative expenses.
• Shuttler may offer general or personalised vouchers for payment of services on the Shuttler.
• Shuttler may offer special discount codes or other benefits.
• Trading of vouchers or discount codes is prohibited.

4 Exclusion

1. Criminal behaviour (including assault and harassment) towards employees or property of the carrier, employees of Shuttler or other passengers.
2. Riding without a valid ticket.
3. Trafficking in vouchers or tickets.
4. Misuse of the Shuttler data processing system.

In the event of minor cases, Shuttler will issue a one-off warning valid for six months.

5 Cancellation and Rebooking

The carrier's services booked via Shuttler can be cancelled again via Shuttler. The carrier's conditions of carriage are applicable.

Shuttler guarantees the following minimum conditions irrespective of the Conditions of Carriage of the carrier.

Cancellations by the customers are possible up to 6 hours before departure. Refunds will be made against a voucher. A fee of 10.- may be charged.

In case of cancellation by the carrier the passenger has the right to get a full compensation of the ticket price. If the cancellation by the carrier takes place later than 14 days prior to departure, the passenger has the right to an additional compensation of 50 % of the ticket price.

Shuttler may rebook the customer with another carrier without the customer's prior consent, provided that the essential contractual service (carriage) is maintained. This requires that carriage is ensured on the same route, at a departure time deviating by no more than 60 minutes, and under equivalent conditions. Such a rebooking is not considered a cancellation. The conditions of carriage of the new carrier are applicable. In this case, the customer has the right to withdraw from the contract of carriage after notification of the rebooking, but at the latest before the start of the journey. In this case, the customer is entitled to a full refund of the fare. Any further claim for damages is excluded as far as legally permissible.

7 Passengers

Shuttler guarantees the following minimum conditions irrespective of the Conditions of Carriage of the carrier regarding passenger transport:

Passengers below three years without their own child seat and other categories of passengers that for technical reasons can not be transported, can be excluded from transportation. Is it inevitable that the carrier cancels a ticket in such case, the passengers have the right for a full refund of the ticket price and assistance in finding other travel options.
