They supplement the "General Terms and Conditions of Conveyance, Tariff Provisions and Fares" of the MVV common fare system for the Greater Munich Area (MVV-Gemeinschaftstarif), as amended. The German version of these General Terms and Conditions of Business shall be pertinent.

For this purpose, any personal details required in order to fulfil the contract are forwarded to the service providers specified.

(3) The payment due for the Mobile-/OnlineTickets shall be processed by LogPay, to which all these receivables including possible accessory claims or fees have been sold and assigned (notice of assignment). LogPay is a third-party beneficiary of the following provisions. It is, in addition, authorized to affect the collection of the payment due in its own name and on its own account.

2. Registration (creating a customer account)

This data must be entered again with every ticket purchase.

(2) In order to avoid the repeated entry of this data within following purchases, the customer may register in the ticket shop of MVV GmbH by giving correct details regarding the following points in either German or English (creating a customer account):

(3) MVV GmbH shall not assume any liability whatsoever for the availability of the ticket shop for purchasing Mobile-/ OnlineTickets.

(4) The customer undertakes to notify any changes which are significant to the contract (e.g. address, payment method) without delay in his/her customer account. Should the customer not comply with his or her obligation to provide such information, the financial services provider shall be entitled to charge the customer the costs of the additional efforts caused thereby.

 

3. Purchasing and using Mobile-/OnlineTickets

(1) By ordering a Mobile-/OnlineTicket, the customer is submitting an offer to conclude a sales contract. The order is placed by clicking on the "Order now" button in the MVV Ticketshop on the website www.mvv-muenchen.de/en/ticketshop or in the MVV-App. The sales contract shall materialize between the customer and MVV GmbH. The contract is concluded by returning an email as purchase confirmation by MVV GmbH. The purchase price is due immediately. The transportation agreement shall materialize with the transport company whose means of transport is being used in each case.

(2) The tickets that are offered via this distribution channel and the amount of the purchase price are specified on the Internet at www.mvv-muenchen.de/en. The amount of the purchase price for the Mobile-/OnlineTicket can be seen from the respective applicable conveyance and tariff provisions of the MVV common fare system for the Greater Munich Area.

(3) The payment needs to be made to the financial service provider. Any telecommunications costs incurred during the ordering process and the use of the Mobile-/ OnlineTicket are to be borne by the customer.

(4) Unless it bears an exact period of validity, the Mobile-/OnlineTicket entitles the holder to commence a journey immediately. The MVV common fare system for the Greater Munich Area applies. The customer needs to purchase the Mobile-/OnlineTicket prior to commencing the journey and, if applicable, before passing through the platform barrier, and make sure that he or she has obtained a valid Mobile-/OnlineTicket. Ultimately the database entry with the IT service provider is pertinent for the validity of the Mobile-/OnlineTicket.

(5) The Mobile-/OnlineTicket is not transferable to other persons and is only valid in conjunction with a valid ID or other means of identity verification for the individual specified on the ticket. In the case of group journeys, the individual specified on the ticket always must travel with the party. For security reasons, a MobileTicket can only be opened on the device you purchased the ticket with. In the case of season tickets, a limited number of transfers to other devices is possible. The MobileTicket can only be used with the device to which the ticket is bound to.

(6) A Mobile-/OnlineTicket and valid ID or other means of identity verification are always to be carried during the journey or in the stations for surveillance purposes, and shown to the inspectors upon request. Should the customer not be able to present a Mobile-/OnlineTicket when the tickets are inspected (e.g. due to technical faults or an empty battery, etc.), the journey shall, in accordance with the provisions of the MVV common fare system for the Greater Munich Area, be considered a journey without a valid ticket. In the event of the ticket not being available, or faulty or erroneous transmission of the Mobile-/OnlineTicket, the customer is obliged to purchase a valid ticket elsewhere prior to commencing the journey. Should the amount accidentally be debited twice, the customer may contact the following address:

Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund GmbH (MVV)
Thierschstraße 2
80538 Munich
Email: kundendialog@mvv-muenchen.de

(7) If presenting the Mobile-/OnlineTicket retrospectively in the event of a complaint, the "General Terms and Conditions of Conveyance, Tariff Provisions and Fares" of the MVV common fare system for the Greater Munich Area (MVV-Gemeinschaftstarif), Sec. 9 (6) apply.

(8) Reimbursement and return of Mobile-/OnlineTicket is excluded.

 

 3a. Additional conditions for the purchase and use of the Deutschland-Ticket as a MobileTicket

(1) The Deutschland-Ticket is only offered as subscription. By clicking the "confirm"- button, the customer enters a paid subscription. The subscription agreement is valid for an indefinite period.

(2) The Deutschland-Ticket is provided as a monthly ticket in the MVV-Ticketshop within the MVV app. It is provided for the first time upon conclusion of the subscription agreement. The Deutschland-Tickets for the subsequent months will be made available automatically in the app in good time before the start of the respective month for downloading in the app under the menu item "Ticketshop". The customer receives a confirmation by e-mail with each monthly provision. To download the respective subsequent ticket to the device, the "Ticketshop" menu item must be opened. The device requires an internet connection, and the user must also be logged into the account. If the ticket is not displayed there, the view can be refreshed manually by swiping down the page and triggering the download. The user himself is responsible for checking whether he has a valid ticket before starting his journey.

(3) The amount for the first monthly ticket is due immediately after conclusion of the subscription contract. The amounts for the subsequent months are due in each case with the monthly provision of the corresponding ticket within the app in the middle of the previous month (monthly payment method). In the event of tariff changes, the debit amounts will be adjusted accordingly from the time of the change.

(4) If an amount due cannot be debited or if the direct debit authorization is revoked, the subscription can be terminated by MVV GmbH or the technical service provider and the Deutschland-Ticket can be blocked. Any bank charges incurred shall be borne by the customer. Any outstanding amounts for the period of use and additional fees are to be settled by the customer.

(5) The subscription can be cancelled online at any time via the cancellation button in the MVV app or via the link sent with the order confirmation when the contract is concluded. The contract must be terminated no later than the 10th of the month for the termination to take effect at the end of the month. The link will be sent again with each monthly confirmation of the provision of the Deutschland-Ticket for the following month. Alternatively, a Deutschland-Ticket subscription taken out in the MVV-Ticketshop can be cancelled with an informal e-mail to kundendialog@mvv-muenchen.de stating the customer number or the order number of the subscription. After the cancellation takes effect, no further tickets will be provided in the app and the subscription contract ends.

 

4. No right of revocation or return

The customer shall have no right of revocation or right of return regarding to the Mobile-/ OnlineTicket purchased, since, under Sec. 312 (8) German Civil Code (BGB), the regulations for mail order contracts do not apply to contracts regarding the carriage of passengers. Purchased Mobile-/OnlineTickets cannot be returned, revocated or cancelled, since they might be used multiple and/or might be valid immediately.

 

5. Termination of the customer account

(1) The customer may notify MVV GmbH that he or she is terminating the account at any time, without adhering to a period of notice, either electronically via kundendialog@mvv-muenchen.de or in writing.

MVV GmbH may terminate the customer account regularly in writing by e-mail at any time, using the e-mail address provided by the customer and adhering to a 14-day period of notice. Regular termination occurs if the customer has not purchased any tickets for two years and has not made any changes to his or her contractual data.

The overview of tickets purchased includes details of individual purchases, and can be inspected and accessed electronically, only by the customer, via the Internet portal www.mvv-muenchen.de/en/ticketshop.

 

8. Payment by means of the direct debit procedure

(1) When opting for this method of payment, personal details (Christian name, surname, address, date of birth and e-mail address) and bank details need to be provided by the customer to enable MVV GmbH to clearly allocate a payment to a ticket purchased (Mobile-/ OnlineTicket). This payment method can only be used if you have registered and created a customer account in the MVV GmbH ticket shop. By opting for this payment method and agreeing to these General Terms and Conditions of Business, the customer consents to the money being debited from his or her bank account within the European Union specified, using the direct debit procedure. At the same time, the customer instructs his or her payment service provider to honor the debits drawn on his or her account by LogPay. The customer is informed that he/she can demand the refund of the charged amount within eight (8) weeks from the day of the debit. In the event of the customer not being the account holder of the account specified, the customer shall ensure that the account holder's agreement to the direct debiting of the amount due has been obtained.

(2) The customer undertakes to notify MVV GmbH of any account information required for the SEPA direct debit procedure (in particular account holder, international bank account number (IBAN) and Business Identifier Code (BIC, business mark)) and enter them on the form provided for this purpose. Within the SEPA direct debit procedure, the customer receives an advance notice (prenotification) by LogPay with the amount of the debit and the day it will be collected. It is hereby agreed that the deadline for the advance notice shall be at least two (2) days before the day on which the amount is due for payment. The prenotification is transmitted electronically with the order confirmation to the email address provided.

(3) The customer shall be obliged to ensure that there are sufficient funds in the account, so that the direct debit transaction can be concluded. Should a direct debit be unjustifiably returned by the payor or collection of the funds from his or her payment service provider fail for reasons that are the payor's fault, especially if there are insufficient funds available in the account or false or invalid bank details have been given, or if the debiting of the amount is opposed, the payor shall be obliged to ensure that there are adequate funds in the account or that the reason for the failed payment is remedied, so that, in addition to the outstanding amount, any third-party fees of the bank incurred, can be collected on the day stated in the reminder. LogPay shall be entitled to assert proceeding damage caused by delay.

(4) The customer waives the right to obtain a SEPA mandate writing. The foregoing waiver is hereby declared to the customer's payment service provider, the creditor’s payment service provider and the creditor.

This can be done by sending an email with a request for the SEPA form to sepa@logpay.de. The customer receives the form that has to be sent back postal to LogPay completely filled and signed. The customer is simultaneously obliged to pass on the mandate reference number to the account holder – if the ticket purchaser is not the account holder.

Furthermore, the customer is obliged to ensure that the indicated credit card is not disabled and that there is a sufficient limit.  Should the authorization of the transaction fail for any reason, an error message is displayed.

(6) If the payment service provider supports the 3D Secure procedure (Verified by Visa/Mastercard® Identity Check™), it is mandatory to verify the authorization to pay via 3D Secure in order to increase security against abuse. If the user's payment service provider does not support the 3D Secure procedure or does not consider the implementation of the 3D Secure procedure to be necessary, the verification will not take place.

(7) The customer must ensure that the amount can be withdrawn from the credit card. Should the customer unjustifiably cause a chargeback of the amount or should the collection fail for reasons caused by the customer, the payor shall be obliged to ensure that there are adequate funds in the account or that the reason for the failed payment is remedied, so that, in addition to the outstanding amount, any third-party fees of the bank incurred, can be collected on the day stated in the reminder.
