1. GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CARRIAGE


1.1 Services

Taxi Radio Bruxellois SA is a telephone exchange, which means that it connects a carrier (member) with a client.
Taxi Radio Bruxellois is specialized in the transport of persons and the rapid transport of letters and small parcels by road.

1.2 Prices

Our prices include VAT.
Any complaint about the price must be made within eight days of the date of the invoice. The client is always responsible for payment, even if he has instructed us to collect the transport price from the recipient or any other third party. To the transport price shall be added all costs and disbursements of any kind whatsoever, storage, etc., not reserved or excepted.

1.2.1 Payment

Our invoices are payable in cash and automatically bear interest at the legal rate increased by 2%. In the event of non-payment after notice of default, an amount equal to 15% of the invoiced amount shall be due as a lump-sum compensation with a minimum of € 50 to cover commercial damage and administrative costs.

Please note that there is no fixed fee for the business service. We do charge a 5% administration fee on your invoice for all these services.

Since the new order of 21 October, some changes have been made:

-The minimum fare for a journey, regardless of the destination, is €8.

The pick-up fare: from €2.40 (day) and €4.40 (night) to €2.60 (day) and €4.60 (night)

Pick-up from a parking lot (station taxi): €2.30/km in the 19 communes of Brussels and beyond.

-Journey with reservation via a platform (street taxi): price range from 1.50€/km to 3.00€ maximum.

-The standby fare increases from €0.50/minute to €0.60/minute.

1.2.2 Special conditions relating to the client's absence at the time indicated at the pick-up address.

If the customer is absent from the pick-up address, either at the time the order is placed for an advance order or when the taxi arrives at the address for an immediate order, the driver will wait for a maximum of 5 minutes. Once this time has expired, the driver is authorized to leave and declare the customer absent. A fee of 5€ related to this absence may then be charged to the client by Taxis Verts, in particular for journeys with payment by credit card registered in the Taxis Verts mobile application. This fee is intended to compensate the driver for the journey he has made.
In the event of a dispute about this absence, the client may contact Taxis Verts customer service, who will study the eligibility of the request."

1.2.3 Special conditions for guaranteed fixed prices

The estimated fare is indicated by the mobile application before the order in the form of a price range. This estimate corresponds to normal traffic conditions and does not take into account any hazards that could significantly increase the duration of the journey. It does not in any way constitute a commitment by Taxis Verts.
To avoid these contingencies, Taxis Verts offers a service known as "guaranteed fixed prices" enabling you to benefit from a guaranteed price. Acceptance of the use of the "guaranteed fixed price" service implies your agreement to the proposed price, Taxis Verts being responsible for any difference between the fixed price and the meter price, as part of its central reservation service.
The guaranteed fixed price cannot be applied in the following cases:
- Waiting for the driver for more than 2 minutes before the pick-up.
- Additional waiting time requested during the journey.
- The driver is asked to change his destination during the journey.
- A diversion requested of the driver during the journey.

1.2.4 Special conditions for our taxi and parcel tickets

The tickets debit order forms are only used to pay the driver the price of Taxi journeys as well as the price of the transport of parcels or mail ordered from us. They can never be used for loans and no change can be given on their remittance. The sole inscription of the sums to be debited is sufficient to be authentic, and the order does not have to be signed. It can be used for any bearer. The member remains responsible, even in the event of loss or theft, for the use of the tickets entrusted to him/her. Tickets statements are payable in cash upon receipt, regardless of the amount or frequency. New books of forms may be issued only after payment of outstanding statements and we reserve the right to assess the quantity to be allocated without having to give a reason. The guarantee paid, which does not bear interest, is never allocated to the settlement of the statements, except in the event of termination, which implies the immediate return of the remaining blank forms. The T.R.B. reserves the right to terminate the membership at any time and without giving any reason, but refunding the guarantee or its balance in case of non-settlement. If the membership is terminated, the member undertakes not only not to use the Tickets still in his possession, but also to return them immediately to the T.R.B. by registered post. The T.R.B. shall be entitled to charge a contribution of 2.5% of the amount of the statements, with a minimum charge of € 15 for invoicing costs.

1.2.5 Special conditions for the transport of goods

1.2.5.1 Method :
Each parcel or envelope must be legibly labelled with the full details of the sender and the recipient. We refuse to transport cash, securities, valuables such as precious stones, jewelry, etc., as well as any dangerous goods. The goods must be packed by our customers in such a way that they can withstand normal handling and transport operations, taking into account their nature. It is impossible for us to check the condition of the goods when they are picked up.

1.2.5.2 Liability :
Our liability is determined by the CMR Convention (Belgian law of 4 September 1962) and its additional protocols. Whatever the contractual nature of our intervention, the maximum compensation due by our company in the event of liability shall be 8.33 D.T.S. per Kg of missing or damaged gross weight. No compensation is due for any damage suffered as a result of unavailability and/or loss of customers and/or any indirect damage whatsoever.

1.2.5.3 Optional all-risk insurance :
Our company has taken out an "all risks" floating policy for the goods. This optional insurance is made available to our customers upon their express prior request and against payment of the premium to be determined according to the risk incurred and the declared value.
The subscription to this insurance creates a direct link with the insurer on behalf of our customers. If our clients prefer to take out a property insurance policy, this insurance must contain a waiver of recourse clause against our company.

1.2.6 Complaint follow-up

If Taxis Verts is unable to respond effectively to a Customer's complaint using its internal complaints procedures, the Customer may contact cc@taxis.be

1.2.7 Defiled and/or damaged Vehicle

If the vehicle has been soiled for any reason, a minimum charge of €150 will be payable by the Passenger(s). This charge must be paid at the end of the journey directly to the driver. This charge covers the cleaning itself as well as the loss of income during the cleaning process. If the cleaning and/or repair costs exceed this minimum amount, the Passenger(s) shall be liable, on the basis of supporting invoices, for the repair and/or cleaning costs in full. To these costs shall also be added the loss of profit due to the immobilization of the vehicle. In such a case, the hourly cost taken into account for the evaluation of this loss shall be equal to the hourly waiting rate defined by the Brussels-Capital Region and applicable at the time of the repairs.

1.2.8 Jurisdiction clause

Any dispute shall fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Brussels courts.

2. GENERAL BOOKING CONDITIONS

An "advance" taxi request involves the TRB recording this request with the customer's details at some point before the time of travel. This is not a booking for an identified taxi, but a priority taxi search scheduled by the company to be initiated shortly before the scheduled pick-up time. The customer's request is thus "stored" in our central computer and, approximately 15 minutes before the pick-up time communicated by the customer, the dispatching system selects a driver with the requested characteristics from among the taxis closest to the customer's address and then transmits the previously recorded details of the customer to be picked up. In certain exceptional situations, due to external circumstances (strikes, heavy traffic at rush hour, weather conditions rain, snow, etc.), difficulties may arise in finding an available taxi in the requested area at the scheduled dispatch time. An unexpected complication may also prevent the driver from reaching the pick-up location within the time limit. The T.R.B. may not be held responsible under any circumstances for any delays that may occur, nor a fortiori for their indirect consequences.
