a) it is necessary or convenient for reasons of public safety;

b) it is necessary or convenient in order to comply with the applicable laws

or regulations in the country of origin, destination or stop;

c) it is necessary or convenient due to the behavior, state, age or mental or

physical condition of the passenger;

d) it is necessary or convenient to avoid damage, discomfort or serious

inconvenience to other passengers or the driver;

e) it is necessary or convenient because the passenger has previously and

repeatedly failed to comply with BusUp rules and regulations;

5.6.1. It is absolutely forbidden to smoke in the vehicles in which BusUp provides its

Transport Service.

5.7.1. For each journey, the User has the right to transport, free of charge, up to a

maximum of twenty-five (25) kg of luggage

5.7.2. Regarding the dimensions, an exact maximum size is not stipulated, however,

under any circumstances (length + width + height < 158 cm max.).

 

5.7.3. Transporting bicycles, surfboards, skis, and other large objects, will be subject

to the availability of space in the assigned vehicle of the Transport Operator for

may cause to animals that travel inside the vehicle.

 

 

5.8. Payment and billing conditions

 

5.8.1. The total price of the specific Transport Service hired through the Platform will

be communicated to the User via the Platform, prior to the reservation and

payment process of the aforementioned Transport Service, for its effective

confirmation and validation by the User.

 

5.8.2. The cost of the Transport Service hired through the Platform will be

automatically charged through the Platform, at the moment in which the User,

or, where applicable, the Users, confirm the payment, using the information of

the credit or debit card provided through the payment gateway incorporated in

the Platform.

 

5.8.3. For On-Demand Routes, payment of the cost of the Transport Service reserved

by the User via the Platform may be made in full by the User who made the

reservation, that is, the Route Organizer User of each specific Transport

Service, or alternatively, the cost of the Transport Service may be divided

among the passengers who will make the specific trip.

 

5.8.4. In the event that the Route Organizer User pays the entire amount for the

Transport Service, he/she will pay the amount calculated by the algorithm of

the payment gateway integrated in the Platform for this purpose.

 

5.8.5. If the amount to be paid for the Transport Service is divided between the

different passengers, the Route Organizer will establish the number of

passengers that will be part of the Transport Service, and then the algorithm of

the Platform will calculate the corresponding price per passenger. In this case,

the Route Organizer may or may not display the status of passenger in the

relevant Transport Service, and must specify the status at the time of

establishing the number of passengers and the price per person.

 

5.8.6. Therefore, once the price per passenger for the corresponding Transport

Service has been calculated, the Route Organizer may establish a price per

passenger that is different from that calculated by the algorithm, by which

means the Route Organizer may obtain a profit margin, which will also be

calculated using the Platform algorithm.

 

5.8.7. The aforementioned profit margin will only be paid by BusUp to the Route

Organizer in case of effective execution of the trip booked and organized by

the Route Organizer.

 

5.8.8. Once the route has been created, with its corresponding payment method, the

Platform will supply the Invitation Code to the Route Organizer, so that other

Users that are going to be passengers of the route created by the

aforementioned Organizer, may: (i) join the route, (ii) obtain all the details

related to the route, and (iii) pay their proportionate part of the price for the

Transport Service, according to that established by the Route Organizer.

 

5.8.9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever it is deemed appropriate, BusUp may

create Default Routes for specific events. In this case, the Default Routes

created by BusUp will appear on the BusUp Platform and Users may reserve

them by making a direct payment for the Transport Service.

 

5.8.10. In the case of the Default Routes created by BusUp, these may only be

reserved by making the effective payment for the cost of the Transport

Services.

 

5.8.11. The Default Routes may be cancelled by BusUp with a minimum previous

notice of seven (7) calendar days before the departure date, if the minimum

percentage of occupancy of the Default Route has not been reached within the

relevant term set forth by BusUp for this purpose. In case of cancelation,

BusUp must reimburse the price paid by the User at the time of booking, the

User or third parties not being entitled to any other compensation.

 

5.8.12. Likewise, BusUp must provide information on the Platform, at all times,

regarding the status of the default BusUp route (confirmed/unconfirmed),

according to the level of occupancy of the abovementioned route.

 

5.8.13. In any case, Users must make payments by credit or debit card (American

Express, Visa, Maestro, MasterCard, UnionPay, ATM and/or MB Way), being

these the only accepted means of payment on the Platform.

 

5.8.14. In accordance with the provisions of the Privacy Policy, the debit or credit card

details provided in the registration form of the User Account will be sent to the

supplier of the payment gateway, responsible for storing the data of each User.

 

5.8.15. Hence, the User agrees and expressly undertakes to comply with the terms and

conditions of use and privacy policies for third-party websites that, when

necessary, are accessed through links provided via the Platform.
