Terms and Conditions – Vehicle Logistics (B2B)

wedrive4you – Proprietor Sebastian Rehmer
Last revised: 9 October 2026

§ 1 Scope and contracting party

  1. These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to vehicle transfer services and related vehicle logistics provided by wedrive4you, proprietor Sebastian Rehmer, Am gebrannten Heidgen 81, 47249 Duisburg (hereinafter “wedrive4you”), to entrepreneurs within the meaning of Section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB), legal entities under public law and special funds under public law. They do not apply to contracts with consumers.
  2. Individual agreements, in particular on prices, scope of services, waiting times and liability, take precedence. Conflicting terms of the Client apply only to the extent that wedrive4you has expressly consented to their application; the statutory rules on the incorporation and conflict of general terms and conditions remain unaffected.
  3. These GTC apply only if they have been validly incorporated before or upon conclusion of the contract. Mere publication on the website does not replace incorporation.

§ 2 Placing of orders and scope of services

  1. Orders may in particular be placed by email or by another agreed electronic means and accepted by wedrive4you. A separately signed framework agreement is not required. A contract is formed in accordance with the statutory rules by corresponding declarations of intent.
  2. The subject matter is the agreed transfer of the designated vehicle from the place of collection to the destination, as a rule driven on its own wheels, including the agreed collection and delivery documentation. Cleaning, refuelling, charging, special trips and other additional services are owed only if they have been agreed.
  3. Binding handover times or special requirements must be expressly agreed. Without such an agreement, estimated times are not guaranteed dates.
  4. wedrive4you may deploy its own employees or suitable independent service providers. wedrive4you remains the Client’s contracting party; statutory rules on attribution and liability remain unaffected.
  5. Changes to the destination, date, recipient, additional services or vehicle data after acceptance of the order require coordination with dispatch. Additional costs arising from this are charged only by individual agreement or in accordance with the statutory rules. Without separate authorisation, the driver deployed is not empowered to bindingly agree significant changes to the contract.

§ 3 Cooperation of the Client and provision of the vehicle

  1. The Client provides accurate information in good time on the vehicle, location, contact persons, access conditions, destination and required dates.
  2. At the agreed time the vehicle must be available, ready to drive, roadworthy, suitable for the intended transfer and legally registered for the journey or transferable in a permissible manner. Required keys, documents and other agreed items must be provided.
  3. The Client informs wedrive4you in advance of known technical defects, special operating requirements, warning messages, restrictions and pre-existing damage relevant to the transfer.
  4. The driver is not obliged to move a vehicle that is not roadworthy or cannot legally be driven. In case of doubt, wedrive4you may suspend or refuse the transfer until the matter is clarified; further statutory rights remain unaffected.
  5. The Client warrants that it is entitled to commission the transfer and that the required consents of the vehicle keeper have been obtained. It ensures lawful registration or suitable transfer plates, the statutory motor third-party liability insurance and the permissibility of the intended use by the driver deployed. Any comprehensive (own-damage) cover going beyond this must be expressly clarified in the individual case.
  6. The Client ensures tyres suitable for the journey and sufficient fuel or other operating fluids, or a state of charge sufficient to reach the next suitable supply point. In wintry road conditions, wedrive4you may refuse or interrupt the journey if the tyres are unsuitable.
  7. Loose items and accessories to be carried must be stowed or secured properly and safely for road traffic by the Client. Valuables and private items not agreed upon should not remain in the vehicle. Liability for damage caused culpably remains unaffected.

§ 4 Vehicle collection and visual inspection

  1. On collection, wedrive4you as a rule prepares a condition report and photographic documentation. The findings are based on a reasonable external visual inspection by the driver; a technical, paintwork or expert assessment is not owed.
  2. The detectability of pre-existing damage may be impaired by wet conditions, rain, dirt, darkness, poor lighting, icing, restricted accessibility or other circumstances. Where possible, this is noted.
  3. Damage not recorded in the collection report is not deemed to have occurred during the transfer for that reason alone. Conversely, the report does not exclude liability for damage demonstrably caused. Statutory rules on the burden of proof and presumptions remain unaffected.
  4. If no person authorised to sign is present at the place of collection, or if a signature is not provided, the driver documents this where possible. Collection may be evidenced by photographs, details of time and place and other suitable proof.

§ 5 Deviations, defects and release

  1. If minor damage, missing equipment or deviations from the agreed handover condition are found on collection, wedrive4you informs the Client to the extent that these are relevant to the transfer or delivery. Examples are missing floor mats, a missing second key, missing charging accessories or minor external damage.
  2. The Client decides whether the vehicle may be delivered despite such deviations. Where possible, the release is recorded in text form or in the report.
  3. A release does not permit a journey contrary to statutory provisions or where the vehicle is not roadworthy.
  4. If delivery is prohibited by the Client or is not possible due to a significant defect for which the Client is responsible, the agreements on futile journeys and empty runs apply, provided their requirements are met.

§ 6 Delivery and handover documentation

  1. On delivery, the externally visible condition is as a rule documented again by report and photographs. Where possible, the recipient confirms the documented condition and the handover by signature.
  2. A signed handover report is important evidence of the documented condition at the time of handover, but it is neither an irrefutable finding that the vehicle is free of damage nor a waiver of statutory claims.
  3. If delivery takes place at an agreed transshipment point or at another location where no signature can be obtained, this is documented; photographs, time details and further proof may evidence the delivery. Whether delivery without a personal handover is in accordance with the contract depends on the specific agreement.
  4. The Client ensures that a person authorised to accept the vehicle can be reached at the destination or that a suitable, expressly agreed contactless handover option exists. In the case of an agreed contactless delivery, wedrive4you documents the parking of the vehicle and the handover or deposit of the keys in accordance with the agreed procedure. A general automatic passing of risk upon mere arrival at the destination is not agreed.

§ 7 Subsequent damage reports

  1. The Client is asked to report damage discovered subsequently as promptly as possible after discovery, stating the vehicle, the handover date and the nature of the damage and providing suitable photographs, so that the facts can be reliably examined.
  2. wedrive4you examines reports on the basis of the collection and delivery reports, photographs and other available information. A later report does not in itself prove that the damage occurred during the transfer.
  3. A rigid contractual cut-off period for damage reports is not agreed hereby. Statutory rules on notification, presumptions, limitation and the burden of proof remain unaffected. Acceptance without reservation or signed delivery documentation is taken into account, within the framework of the statutory provisions, when assessing the condition of the vehicle.

§ 8 Remuneration, additional services and waiting times

  1. The individually agreed net prices apply, plus statutory value added tax where applicable. Separately agreed expenses and additional services are charged as agreed.
  2. Waiting times for which wedrive4you is not responsible are charged only in accordance with the individually agreed terms. This applies in particular to agreed free periods, hourly rates and flat rates.
  3. If an agreed flat-rate price includes waiting times, these are not charged additionally. Without a corresponding remuneration agreement, this clause does not establish a flat hourly rate; statutory claims remain unaffected.
  4. Invoices are due on the individually agreed payment date; otherwise the statutory provisions apply.
  5. Necessary additional expenses for which wedrive4you is not responsible, for example for coordinated breakdown assistance, towing, necessary fuel or operating fluids, parking fees or safe interim storage, are reimbursed in accordance with the individual agreement or the statutory provisions. Where possible, wedrive4you obtains the Client’s instructions before significant costs are incurred.

§ 9 Cancellation and futile journey

  1. Unless otherwise individually agreed, the following flat rates apply to the cancellation of confirmed orders by the Client, in each case based on the agreed net transfer price: (a) up to no later than two calendar days before the day of the journey: free of charge; (b) on the calendar day before the day of the journey: 50 %; (c) on the agreed day of the journey: 100 %.
  2. If the driver has appeared at the place of collection at the agreed time and the journey cannot be carried out for reasons for which the Client is responsible, in particular because the vehicle is not available, not ready to drive, not roadworthy or not released, wedrive4you may charge the futile journey in accordance with the agreed empty-run arrangement at up to 100 % of the net transfer price.
  3. An empty run may also exist if the vehicle cannot be collected due to significant defects, missing required keys or necessary repairs. In the case of minor defects, a release decision by the Client must first be obtained, to the extent reasonable.
  4. The flat rates apply only to the extent that a corresponding compensable claim exists. The Client expressly remains entitled to prove that no damage or expense, or a substantially lower damage or expense, has been incurred. Expenses saved and any other use of capacities that have become free must be taken into account to the extent required by law. wedrive4you may assert a higher claim that is specifically proven, to the extent permitted by law.
  5. This provision does not apply to the extent that wedrive4you is responsible for the cancellation. Mandatory statutory rules on termination, withdrawal, remuneration and damages remain unaffected.

§ 10 Liability for vehicle damage

  1. wedrive4you is liable for vehicle damage attributably caused in accordance with the statutory provisions and validly agreed liability rules. The use of independent drivers does not automatically lead to an exclusion of liability towards the Client.
  2. There is no liability for pre-existing damage, normal wear and tear in accordance with the contract, or damage arising from circumstances for which wedrive4you is not responsible, unless mandatory law provides otherwise. These may include in particular stone chips occurring without fault, tyre damage, hail, vandalism by third parties and technical defects without breach of duty. The classification always depends on the individual case; such events are not without exception force majeure.
  3. In the event of an accident, a breakdown or another significant incident, wedrive4you informs the Client as promptly as possible and coordinates the further procedure, to the extent that this is possible and reasonable. Necessary immediate measures to avert danger remain permissible.
  4. Before commissioning cost-incurring measures to assess or remedy damage, the Client should, to the extent reasonable, give wedrive4you the opportunity to inspect and to coordinate. wedrive4you may offer professional repair itself or through a suitable specialist workshop. A repair solution accepted by the Client is coordinated with regard to scope, deadlines and execution. Statutory rights, in particular in cases of urgency, unreasonableness or failed remedy, remain unaffected.
  5. A limitation to the current market value of the vehicle or a complete exclusion of liability for undocumented damage is not agreed. Any special statutory liability rules, in particular where transport law applies, must be examined with priority.

§ 11 Delays, loss of use and consequential damage

  1. wedrive4you informs the Client of recognisable significant delays within the scope of its operational possibilities. A specific arrival time is owed only if it has been bindingly agreed.
  2. The provision of a replacement vehicle is not part of the transfer service unless it has been expressly agreed.
  3. Claims for damages due to delay, loss of use, loss of profit or other consequential economic loss are governed by the statutory provisions and the following liability rules. A blanket exclusion of all such claims is not agreed.

§ 12 General liability rules

  1. wedrive4you is liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence, for damage arising from injury to life, body or health in the event of a breach of duty for which it is responsible, and in other cases of mandatory statutory liability.
  2. In the event of a slightly negligent breach of material contractual obligations, liability is limited, to the extent permitted by law, to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract at the time of its conclusion. Material contractual obligations are obligations whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance the Client may regularly rely.
  3. In the event of a slightly negligent breach of non-material contractual obligations, liability is excluded to the extent permitted by law.
  4. To the extent that special statutory rules, in particular the freight law provisions of the German Commercial Code (HGB), apply to the specific transfer, their rules on liability, limitation of liability, notification and limitation periods apply to the extent prescribed by law in each case. A contractual limitation going beyond this to a fixed amount or a specific number of special drawing rights per kilogram is not agreed by these GTC. This clause does not restrict mandatory claims.

§ 13 Force majeure and unforeseeable obstacles

  1. Events outside the reasonable sphere of influence of the parties that temporarily prevent performance must be notified to the other party as promptly as possible. The legal consequences are governed by the statutory provisions and any individual agreements.
  2. Not every traffic event, stone chip, puncture or technical defect constitutes force majeure. The specific circumstances and responsibility are decisive.

§ 14 Final provisions

  1. German law applies, unless mandatory statutory provisions conflict with this.
  2. For disputes with merchants, legal entities under public law or special funds under public law, the place of jurisdiction is Duisburg, to the extent permitted by law. Mandatory exclusive places of jurisdiction remain unaffected.
  3. Should individual provisions be invalid, the statutory provisions apply in their place. The validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected in accordance with the law.
  4. These GTC are provided in German and English. In the event of linguistic discrepancies between the versions, the German version prevails, to the extent permitted by law.
