5.8. The Client acknowledges that the Bookings are subject to the acceptance of SICILY ACTION, which reserves the right, at its own discretion, to refuse the same, even in cases where:

  1. a) the provision of the Services cannot be performed due to an error in the information provided by the Client at the time of submitting the request (e.g. incorrect personal and/or flight data; insufficient or incorrect email address; misleading information; incomplete and/or missing documentation);

  1. METHODS OF PROVISION OF SERVICES AND AVAILABILITY OF THE SAME

6.1. The Services covered by the contractual relationship governed by these General Terms and Conditions of Service are the services present in the electronic catalogue published on the Platform at the time of the Booking by the Client. Each Service is accompanied by an information sheet (“Service Sheet“), which illustrates its main characteristics. It is understood that the images and descriptions included herein may not be perfectly representative of  the Services which may differ in model/category, color, shape or size of the car to be used for the transport service, also in relation to the geographical area in which the transport service is actually to be rendered by the Carrier. SICILY ACTION undertakes to ensure that the Services are represented in a way that corresponds as closely as possible to reality, however, these may differ significantly from those shown in the car model, color, shape or size, also in relation to the availability of the Carriers in relation to the transport services to be intermediated. To the above it should be added that:

– transport services to be carried out by minibus may be carried out with two or more Vans/SUVs such as to guarantee, in any case, the transport of all Passengers;

– transport services may be performed by a different vehicle with a larger capacity or belonging to a higher type and/or category (“Free Upgrade“). By way of example, the Customer who has chosen a standard Sedan at the time of Booking, can be transported by a Standard Van / First Class Van or a MiniBus.

For more information on the models/categories of cars to be used for the transport service, and on the possibility of using a different model for transport, even if belonging to the same category, please read the following article carefully: https://help.transfeero.com/en/articles/8578520-list-of-vehicles

6.2. Following the conclusion of the Transfeero Contract, and therefore of the Booking Confirmation, SICILY ACTION will carry out its intermediation activity by requesting the Carriers – in the name and on behalf of the Client – the availability to carry out the requested transport service.

6.3. Within 24 (twenty-four) hours prior to the date and time of the start of the airport/local transfer or hourly transport, SICILY ACTION will send an e-mail to the Client/Passenger (“Transport Communication“) with which it will inform the latter:

  • the acceptance, by the Carrier, of the request for carriage made by the Customer, and, therefore, the conclusion of the Contract of Carriage, providing the Customer/Passenger with all the details of the Carrier in charge and of the transport, or
  • the unwillingness of any Carrier to accept the request for carriage made by the Client and, therefore, the failure to conclude the Contract of Carriage.

It should be noted, in any case, that if the conclusion of the Contract of Carriage took place before 6 (six) hours from the date of commencement of the airport/local transfer or hourly transport, the Client may verify the details of the Carrier in charge and of the transport by logging in with his Account in his reserved area of the Platform.

6.4. In the event that, for any reason, the data contained in the Transport Communication should be changed, SICILY ACTION will send the Customer/Passenger a new Transport Communication. It is understood that the subsequent Transport Communication will replace and cancel the previous one, and it is the only one that will be authentic.

6.5. The Transport Communication will contain the itinerary of the transport service, including the place of departure, the place of arrival and the specific time of departure. The Customer acknowledges that the actual departure time may differ by 15 minutes, early or late, from the departure time indicated in the Transportation Notice.

6.6. The Client acknowledges that, following the Booking, SICILY ACTION may not be able to conclude, in the name and on behalf of the Client, the relevant Contract of Carriage due to the unavailability of the Carrier and/or for any other reason. In such cases, the Supplier cannot in any case be held responsible for the unavailability of one or more Services and/or related transport services to be intermediated.

6.7. SICILY ACTION cannot be held responsible for the temporary or definitive unavailability of one or more Services and/or related transport services to be intermediated. In the event of unavailability, even temporary, of the Services and/or related transport services to be intermediated, the Supplier undertakes not to charge the Client the corresponding price. If the Booking has been submitted and the price already charged for the Services and/or related transport services to be brokered that are no longer available, the Supplier will reimburse the Customer for the full amount paid for those Services and/or related transport services to be brokered.

6.8. In the event of partial or total unavailability of the Services and/or related transport services to be intermediated, also following the sending of the Booking Confirmation email, the Client will be promptly informed by email. In this case, the Transfeero Contract will be considered terminated, and if the relevant amount has already been paid, SICILY ACTION will refund the same. In the case of multiple Bookings, the unavailability of one or more of the Services and/or related intermediary transport services ordered will not give the Client the right to cancel the entire Booking.

  1. DURATION OF THE TRANSFEERO CONTRACT

7.1. The Transfeero Contract shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

  1. sending by SICILY ACTION of the last Transport Communication with which the Customer/Passenger is informed of the conclusion of the Contract of Carriage;
  2. sending by SICILY ACTION of the Transport Communication with which the latter informs the Customer/Passenger of the failure to conclude the Contract of Carriage.
  1. PAYMENTS

8.1. The Client undertakes to pay the price of the booked transport services within the time and manner indicated in these General Terms and Conditions of Service. Any payment by the Client may only be made by means of one of the methods indicated in the footer of the Platform and described below.

8.2. Credit Cards. Credit cards and debit cards of the main international circuits are accepted. If, for any reason, it is not possible to charge the amount due, the sale process will be automatically cancelled and the sale will be terminated pursuant to Article 1456 of the Italian Civil Code. The Client will be informed by e-mail. You will be charged at the time the Booking is submitted. The confidential data of the payment card (card number, holder, expiry date, security code) are encrypted and transmitted directly to the payment processor without passing through the servers used by the Provider. The Provider, therefore, never has access to and does not store the Customer’s payment card data used to pay for the Services.

The receipts and/or invoices documenting the purchase by the Customer of the transport services booked through the Platform will be issued by the Carrier and SICILY ACTION will be limited, where necessary, to managing or facilitating the IT procedures for the delivery of tax documents to the CONSUMER.

8.3. Digital Wallet and PayPal. Payments via Digital Wallets such as PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay are accepted. If the Client chooses digital wallets as a means of payment, he/she will be redirected to the relevant website where he/she will make the payment according to the procedure provided for and regulated therein. These services use the latest and most up-to-date SSL security and data encryption protocols. Confidential data (credit card number, expiry date and cryptogram) are never stored by the Platform, nor do they ever come into the possession of SICILY ACTION.

8.4. In the event of termination of the contract and in any case of refund, SICILY ACTION will reimburse the Client for any amount due using the same payment instrument used for the purchase, unless otherwise agreed.

  1. PRICES OF TRANSPORT SERVICES

9.1. – The prices of the transport services to be carried out by a Carrier to be identified indicated on the Platform are to be understood in EUR, GBP or USD, depending on the currency in force in the place where the Client proceeds with the Booking, and include VAT (if applicable).

9.2. The price of the transport services to be carried out by a Carrier to be identified is not fixed, but depends on the date and/or place of departure and/or arrival, the transport service requested (airport transfer or hourly transport), the additional services requested, the time and distance. It is therefore the Customer who, by using the Platform and entering the data of the transport requested in the Booking phase, actively contributes to the determination of the price.

9.3. Any costs paid by the Client for the conversion of the currency used by the Client into Euros, GBP, USD shall be borne exclusively by the Client.

  1. CANCELLATIONS, CHANGES TO YOUR BOOKING AND REFUNDS

Cancellations

  • send to the Customer/Passenger the Notice of Carriage with which the same informs about the conclusion, or not, of the Contract of Carriage
  • inform the Customer/Passenger about their actions.

 

12.2. SICILY ACTION is also obliged to make the Platform and its functions available to the Clients, without, however, being responsible in any way for the use of the Platform by the Clients. In particular, the Client is expressly informed that the usefulness of the services made available, both free of charge and for a fee, depends on the use of the Platform by the Clients, for which SICILY ACTION cannot in any way be responsible.

12.3. SICILY ACTION will maintain the Platform and adapt it to new programming techniques and guarantee the security of the data and information on the Platform.

12.4. SICILY ACTION undertakes to inform the Client about the operation of the Platform and assist him in case of need.

12.5. SICILY ACTION does not sell and/or resell or offer any transport service and therefore assumes no responsibility for the Contract of Carriage and its correct execution. The Carriers are neither auxiliaries, nor employees nor subcontractors of SICILY ACTION.

It is understood that the invoicing of the Transport services purchased will be the exclusive activity of the Carrier, which will issue the tax documents in favor of the Customer for the amount paid by the latter.

12.6. The Carrier is solely responsible for the sale of transport services and for the management of disputes with the Customer/Passenger concerning, but not limited to, issues relating to:

  • the exercise of the right of withdrawal, where applicable;
  • the Carrier’s unwillingness to guarantee the transport service;
  • the failure and/or failure of the Carrier to respond promptly to communications via e-mail and/or telephone calls from the Customer/Passenger.

12.7. SICILY ACTION does not and cannot control the conduct or performance of the Carrier and does not guarantee: (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability or legality of any transport service; (ii) the truth or accuracy of any description of the transportation service; (iii) the security of the Customers’ computer system (hardware and software) or the files or documents contained therein, as a result of the following: a) the presence of a virus in the Customers’ computer system or in the mobile device used to connect to the content and services of the Platform; b) browser malfunction; c) use of outdated versions of the same.

12.8. In the event that, for any reason, SICILY ACTION is unable to identify a Carrier that agrees to carry out the transport requested by the Client and/or, even if identified, the Carrier does not perform such transport, the Carrier will promptly inform the Client and will proceed with a full refund of the amount paid by the Client. It is understood that under no circumstances can SICILY ACTION be held responsible, for any reason whatsoever, for any damage and/or prejudice suffered by the Customer and/or the Passenger as a result of the failure to conclude and/or execute the Contract of Carriage.

It is also understood that in the event that SICILY ACTION has correctly provided the Services, no refund will be due to the Client.

12.9. SICILY ACTION will inform the Client of any event that may occur during the performance of the Services, reserving the right to deviate from the instructions received, if such contingencies cannot be promptly communicated to the Client and reasonably believe that the latter would have given his approval. By way of example and not limited to, in the event of flight delays and/or rail transport indicated by the Client, SICILY ACTION may modify, in agreement with the CARRIER, the pick-up time initially indicated by the Client, adapting it to the new arrival time of the means of transport on which the Customer/Passenger will arrive at the pick-up location.

SICILY ACTION reserves the right to supplement the partial, omitted, incorrect and/or incomplete instructions provided by the Client, if the latter does not provide the same following a specific request by SICILY ACTION, and this reasonably leads to the belief that the latter would have given his approval. Consider, for example, the following hypotheses:

– the Customer does not provide a valid address for pick-up/drop off, and does not respond to the Supplier’s requests for information. In this case, SICILY ACTION may retrieve such information from a previous Booking and conclude a Contract of Carriage in the name and on behalf of the Client in this regard;

– the Customer indicates a different arrival time of the flight than the pick-up time. In this case, SICILY ACTION may conclude the Contract of Carriage, in the name and on behalf of the Client, indicating to the Carrier the arrival time of the flight as the pick-up time.
