3   Special provisions for the display of the “Deutschlandticket-HandyTicket”

After downloading and installing, the MOOVME app will enable clients to display the Deutschlandticket. Purchased transit tickets are sent to the customer’s mobile device, with a new ticket being issued each month. The app requires a continuous online connection to function. MDV and its partner transit companies point out that the transfer of the tickets takes place via the mobile network of the client’s mobile phone provider and that a correct, trouble-free and timely transfer is the principal responsibility of the provider. Therefore, delays in transmission can occur, in particular in the event of disruption or unavailability of the mobile network or Internet connection.

The client must buy a MOOVME HandyTicket and have it readily available on their smartphone before boarding a transit company vehicle (start of ride) and, for the above-mentioned reasons, verify that he/she has actually acquired a valid ticket before the ride commences.

When using a Deutschlandticket with the app MOOVME, it must be presented in the app MOOVME on the display of the mobile device in case of ticket inspection. The client is obligated to show that their ticket is valid at the time of the inspection for the relevant section of the ride.

4  Special provisions for the use of CheckIn

The offered “CheckIn” functionality enables customers to purchase electronic tickets. Before boarding the transit vehicle or entering the ticketed area, customers need to carry out a check-in process and after off-boarding they are to carry out a check-out process. During the ride the distance is recorded and at the end of the CheckOut process the corresponding fare is calculated.

By activating the corresponding button in the app (the check-in process), the current location is marked and a contract is concluded on behalf of the corresponding KVP. Acceptance of the contract by the partner is implied upon provision of the ticket in the form of a barcode in the app.  After deactivating the switch in the app (the check-out process), the app calculates the distance travelled and the corresponding fare, after which it initiates the debiting process of the specific amount to the provided means of payment.

Customers cannot assert any claim to the availability of functionality. Use of the functionality, therefore, is at the customer’s own risk. Customers are responsible for protecting their smartphone against any unauthorised access. No liability is accepted for use, content, functionality or malware. If the use of the app or the purchase of an electronic ticket should prove impossible for technical reasons, any liability for any resulting damage is rejected. Lack of functionality of the app in no way legitimises customers to start a journey without a valid travel authorisation.

All electronic tickets are valid from the moment the check-in process is completed. It is not possible to buy tickets in advance that will be valid at a later date. The electronic tickets are personal and may not be transferred or forwarded to another mobile phone. Customers may not make their mobile phones available to other individuals for travelling with electronic tickets.

Customers must have a functioning mobile phone with the Android (Google) operating system, without “rooting” or “jailbreak”, and an activated and functioning SIM card that guarantees the reception of mobile data when accessing a mobile phone network. Use of the app is supported from Android version 11 and up. Customers must also have location services (on high accuracy) activated on their mobile phone from the moment the check-in process starts and at least until the check-out process has been completed. No liability is accepted for any mobile phone connection costs incurred through the use of the application.

The application’s access to the motion sensors installed in the mobile phone must be activated and the application must be allowed to send notifications (push notifications).

4.1   Making Sure Technical Requirements Are Met

Customers are solely responsible for the capabilities of their mobile phones and must ensure the availability of technical parameterisation and the functionality of the device (including access to the network and power supply). Customers must make sure there is a functioning data connection and that location services are switched on, both during the check-in and check-out processes as well as during the entire journey, and they must ensure there is sufficient battery power for the entire duration of the journey. Activation of the power-saving mode is not permitted, because this can negatively affect the precision of the localisation.  The check-in and check-out processes cannot be carried out without a data connection. During the check-in process, additional time for the purchase process must be taken into account, in case the network performance is weak (e.g. EDGE, E, GPRS) or the localisation options are limited. Should the check-in process prove impossible for technical reasons, customers must obtain a valid ticket from another sales channel. If not, they will be considered passengers travelling without a valid ticket.

To determine location, the application uses the location data provided by the mobile phone and the software on it. In order for this to function properly, customers are obliged to activate or allow the location function at the highest possible accuracy level (with both location services (GPS) and WiFi activated) when using the application on the mobile phone and the mobile phone asks for the corresponding permission when starting the application. Location must remain activated until the check-out process is fully completed. Deactivating location services and activating flight mode are not allowed.

If the mobile phone connection is interrupted for technical reasons during the ride (after the check-in process) or if the application is no longer functional (e.g. empty battery, system crash), an automated check-out process will be carried out after 10 minutes, and the ticket will lose its validity. If functionality is restored within these 10 minutes, the ticket remains valid until the customer has completed the check-out process.

If the application, using the sensors of the mobile phone, determines that a customer is presumably no longer on the journey and the check-out process has not yet been carried out, the application shall issue a warning on the mobile phone to indicate that the check-out process may have been forgotten. A prerequisite for displaying this warning is that customers have allowed notifications on their mobile phone. If, for technical reasons, a check-out at the end of the journey was not possible, customers must contact customer service immediately, stating their route, location and time the journey ended. This also applies to any and all other claims.

4.2   Validity of Electronic Travel Validation

The electronic travel validation contains information about the fare zone, departure stop, ticket validity (date and time) and date and time of check-in.

Electronic tickets are valid from the moment the check-in process is completed successfully. The validity of the travel validation ends when the check-out process is started. If you need to transfer to another bus or train to continue your journey, you do not need to check out when doing so. The check-out process is only necessary after the entire journey has been completed. Customers themselves are responsible for completing the check-out process at the proper time. Should the check-out warning appear at the wrong time or not at all, this will not relieve the customer from their responsibility to complete the check-out process at the proper time. We accept no responsibility for any costs incurred by the customer as a consequence of not completing the check-out process at the proper time. An electronic travel validation activated via the application can be neither changed nor exchanged. A travel validation obtained through a check-in process is excluded from the right of withdrawal.

Extending the period of validity of the ticket after the check-out process has been completed is not possible. The fare for tickets purchased using the application is calculated on the basis of the check-in and check-out data, the collected location data, and the applicable fare regulations. If several journeys are made in one day, the optimal price is calculated for all journeys together.

Customers are obligated to show the mobile phone to the control staff and, on request, display all control elements (via the ticket button) and all display levels (e.g. detailed display). Ticket inspectors may check the travel validation more than once per journey.

Any discount entitlements must be presented together with the mobile phone. At the request of the inspector, the mobile phone must be handed over for inspection purposes. The inspector is authorised to use the mobile phone for regular ticket inspection. Customers must comply with the instructions of inspectors. If the customer is unable to present the electronic travel validation at all display levels and with all control elements, or if an electronic travel validation cannot be inspected because the smartphone was not updated or due to functional errors of the mobile phone or due to an illegible display or illegible parameterisation of the font type, the customer will be considered a passenger without a valid ticket. The electronic travel validation cannot be presented retroactively.

If, for whatever reason, customers cannot or do not wish to present a valid or verifiable electronic travel validation, they shall be considered as passengers without a valid ticket. The individual travelling without a valid ticket must pay a fee in accordance with the applicable fare regulations.

4.3   Area of Validity

Tickets for journeys outside the MDV transit area cannot be purchased with this application; a valid ticket for such a journey must be purchased by other means before starting the ride.

The use of the CheckIn-function is not permitted in neighbouring networks with a transitional fare. Journeys in flexible service formats that operate without a timetable (e.g. Flex on-call bus) and journeys in on-demand services in the cities of Halle (movemix_shuttle) and Leipzig (Flexa) are excluded from this service. If the customer’s journey starts or ends within a transit zone, the MOOVME CheckIn-funktion cannot be used.

4.4   Fare Products, Price Calculation and Best Price

The following MDV fare products can be acquired with the application: Single ticket, short ride single ticket, 24 hour pass. Discounts with a valid ABO Flex pass on the Single ticket and the Short ride single ticket are possible. Reduced fare products (e.g. for children) cannot be processed in the CheckIn-funktion in MOOVME. Additional persons, children, bicycles, dogs and/or bulky luggage items are not allowed. Customers must themselves ensure that existing discount entitlements are activated in the application settings.

CheckIn-tickets for rides that occur within 24 hours of the start of the first journey will be combined into cheaper ticket combinations, provided the applicable fare conditions allow it. This only applies if the customer uses the application for all of the rides with the same mobile phone numbers registered during the period in question, with the same personal details and the same means of payment. We cannot guarantee that the app will always find the cheapest possible ticket combination. If additional tickets are purchased in MOOVME on the same day via other channels (e.g. via Connection Information), these tickets will be charged separately. No price cap will be applied in that case.

4.5   Support

The customer can change or cancel incorrectly recorded or wrongly priced journeys via our customer service within 14 days of the start of the journey. If the customer service department can verify that the customer was charged an incorrect fare through no fault of their own, a new price will be calculated and, if the complaint is justified, the difference will be refunded. The customer must provide details of the date of the journey, the route, the location and the time at which the journey ended.

5   Transfer of use of the MOOVME app

The app MOOVME is available free of charge and in two versions: for users of mobile devices with the iOS operating system via the „App Store“ platform of the provider Apple and for users of mobile devices with the Android operating system via the „Google Play“ platform of the provider Google Inc.

When choosing this payment method, the personal data of the client (first name, last name, address, date of birth and e-mail address) and a bank account number within the European Union are required for the clear allocation of a payment for purchased tickets.

By selecting this payment method, the client authorizes LogPay, consenting to these GTC, to collect payments from their specified account within the European Union via SEPA direct debit.
