Thus, we suggest you to subscribe for a data plan with unlimited or very high data usage capacity.

4.6. Fares. You are entitled to charge a fare for each instance you have accepted a Passenger on the Space taxi Platform and completed the Transportation Service as requested (i.e. Fare).

The default base fare may fluctuate based on the local market situation

4.7. Upfront Fare. ​A Passenger may be offered to use a ride option that allows the Passenger to agree to a fixed Fare for a given instance of Transportation Service provided by you (i.e Upfront Fare). Upfront Fare is communicated via the Space taxi App to a Passenger before the ride is requested, and to you when the ride is accepted or at the end of the ride. The Fare calculated in accordance with section 4.6 shall be applied instead of Upfront Fare if the Passenger changes the destination during the ride, the ride takes materially longer than estimated due to traffic or other factors, or when other unexpected circumstances impact the characteristics of the ride materially (e.g a route is used where tolls apply).

In markets with In-app payment, if you find that there has been an error in the calculation of the Fare and wish to make corrections in the calculation of the Fare, you must submit a petition in the section „Fare Review“ of the Space taxi App. If a petition in the section „Fare Review“ of the Space taxi App has not been submitted, then Space taxi shall not recalculate the Fare or reimburse you for an error made in the calculation of the Fare.

In case the Passenger pays the Fare directly, it is your obligation to collect the Fare. In case the Passenger fails or refuses to pay, Space taxi will send a notice of debt to the Passenger on behalf of you. Such authorisation derives from the mandate of paying agent given to Space taxi and does not entail that Space taxi has an obligation to compensate the Fare not paid by the Passenger. If the passengers in the vehicle do not agree to pay the Fare for the provision of Transportation Service, the Fare will be paid by the Passenger who has ordered the provision of Transportation Service. If Passenger justifiably refuses to pay the Fare on the account that your information stated in the Space taxi App is incorrect, then Space taxi will not reimburse you for such expenses.
