2. SERVICES
2.1 You must be 18 years of age or older to use the App and place Orders. Access to the App is permitted for personal use only.
2.2 The App provides a means to enable Customers who seek transportation to certain destinations to be connected with Drivers. Gett do not provide transportation services, rather we are a technological service provider that uses an electronic platform to provide the Services.
2.3 Access to, and use of, the App is free of charge. You will need to set up a Customer Account and provide your payment details in order to access the Services. Any notice or other communication permitted or required in accordance with these Conditions by Gett will be in writing and sent to the email address that you provided when setting up your Customer Account and/or the App.
2.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of Condition 1.1, Gett does not guarantee availability nor uninterrupted or error free use of the App and shall not be liable for any damage, loss, claims, costs or expenses resulting from or as a consequence of scheduled or unscheduled downtime, unavailability or slowness.
3. TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
3.1 In order to connect you to Drivers, you will be required to enter your Collection Location into the App. Where you enter your Final Location, we will provide you with an estimated Fee for the journey, based on the information provided, and provide you with the availability of Drivers. If you wish to proceed with your request for Transportation Services, you should select the order button and you will be connected with a Driver for Transportation Services and this shall constitute an Order. By selecting the order button, you will enter into a contract for Transportation Services with a Driver and be provided with their details via the App. For the avoidance of any doubt, your contract for Transportation Services will be with the Driver selected and will not be with Gett. You acknowledge and agree that Gett is not a party to your contract for Transportation Services.
3.2 You acknowledge that your geo-location information must be provided by your device in order to enable us to provide the Services. You acknowledge and agree that your geo-location information will be accessible by the App and when you are logged-in your location will be displayed to Gett and Drivers.
3.3 Transportation Services may be cancelled by you prior to the Driver arriving at the Collection Location, subject to the payment of a Cancellation Fee. If you are not at the Collection Location when the Driver arrives, you may be charged the Standby Fee. Drivers may cancel their provision of Transportation Services at any time.
3.4 Following a Driver completing an Order, you will be able to rate your Driver via the App. Where you chose to rate your Driver, you must provide accurate feedback on the Driver in order to allow us to monitor the quality of the Transportation Services they provide to users of the App. Drivers may also be permitted to rate you as a Customer and such information may be used by Drivers when deciding whether to accept or reject your future Orders. Customers must (and where appropriate Customer’s must ensure their guests) at all times act in a polite and courteous manner towards Drivers and any other passengers of the vehicle.
4. FEES
4.1In consideration of the Transportation Services, you will be charged the Fees. The Fees may be calculated on either a fixed fee or a metered basis and an additional Advanced Technology Fee may be added. Where the Fees are paid on a fixed fee basis, the amount of the Fee will be notified via the App and you will have the opportunity to place the Order at your sole discretion at such fixed fees. If you chose to pay on a metered basis, the Fee will be calculated in accordance with the published hackney carriage fees. As a provider of Transportation Services, all Drivers are required by Gett to provide the Transportation Services in an effective, efficient and safe manner. Once the Transportation Services have been completed and payment made, we will send you an electronic receipt. Details of past journeys are available via the App.
4.2 As part of the booking process, for every Order you place, you agree to Gett making a pre-authorisation payment on your payment card provided on your Customer Account (“Pre-Authorisation Payment”). The amount of the Pre-Authorised Payment will either be: (i) the fixed fee; (ii) where you select a metered fare and provide a Final Location, the estimated Fee; or (iii) in all other cases, the Fee estimated by Gett acting reasonably. This amount will not be debited from your account at the time of placing your Order, but is ring-fenced for payment of the Fee. A request will be made against the card you provided for payment of the Fee following completion of your Order. If, after fulfilment of your Order, full payment is not successfully made by you, the Pre-Authorised Payment may be used to settle, or as part payment, towards the outstanding Fee. If payment is received in full, the Pre-Authorisation Payment will be released by Gett. Please note that this may take your bank up to 5 working days to process.
4.3 If you fail to make payment of the Fee in full, Gett may suspend your access to the Services and/or permanently delete your Customer Account and access to the Services. If you select to make payment of the Fee by cash and then fail to do so, you authorise Gett to charge your payment card to recover such unpaid Fees.
4.4 If you select a fixed fee payment and then, during the course of the Transportation Services, require the Driver to change his route in any matter whatsoever, including making any unscheduled stops or using an alternative route, the fixed fee may be recalculated to take account of such changes. Fees will be recalculated based on the meter and such changes to the fixed fee will be notified to you via the App.
4.5 If you are not waiting at the Collection Location when the Driver arrives, you will be charged the Standby Fee. If you do not arrive in 5 minutes, your Order will be cancelled and you will be charged the Cancellation Fee and the Standby Fee.
4.6 If during the provision of the Transportation Service you soil the Driver’s vehicle, you will be charged an additional soiling fee in the sum of £40.
4.7 If after placing an Order you decide to cancel your Order, you will be charged a Cancellation Fee as follows:
4.7.1 for Orders placed for Transportation Services in central London:
4.7.1.1 £3 if the Driver has started his journey to Collection Location; or
4.7.1.2 £5 if the Driver has arrived at the Collection Location.
4.7.2 for Orders placed for Transportation Services outside of central London:

4.7.3.1 £25 if the journey is cancelled 10 minutes or less before the booked time; or
4.7.3.2 £25 if the Driver is unable to perform the Transportation Services because the Customer has not arrived on time at the Collection Location.
4.7.4 for Orders pre-booked in advance:
4.7.4.1 £3 if the Order is cancelled 10 minutes prior to the booked time; or
4.7.4.2 £5 if the Order to cancelled less than 10 minutes prior to the booked time or the Driver has arrived at the Collection Location and the Customer does not show as per the Order.
4.7.4.3 or such other Cancellation Fee as Gett may notify from time to time.
5. PROMOTIONS
5.1 From time to time, Gett may run promotional offers or bonuses for using the Services and details of such promotions and bonuses shall be made available via the App, text message or email. Gett will notify you of offers that you are eligible to accept from time to time and any additional promotional terms and conditions. Where a promotion offers Customers or Drivers a bonus for submitting or completing a set numbers of Orders, you must not do anything in fulfilment of this promotion which may be deemed fraudulent.

Gett reserves the right to report any fraudulent activities to relevant law enforcement authorities.
5.2 Where it is reasonably considered by Gett that you have acted in a manner that is otherwise than in accordance with Condition 4.1 above, Gett will notify you and, at its sole discretion, may withhold any promotional payment or discount and/or suspend or terminate your access to the App. If you receive such a notification and you believe that you have not breached the requirements of Condition 4.1, you can appeal this decision by writing to customercare.uk@Gett.com within 48 hours of receipt of such notification and providing full reasons for your dispute.
