These Terms of Use and General Service Conditions govern your use of the Transferhood platform and services. Please read them carefully before making a reservation.
Last Updated: December 2025
These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the Transferhood platform and services provided by PTS Travel Solutions Ltd. Please read them carefully before making a booking.

1. Introduction & Scope

1.1 About Transferhood
Transferhood is an online marketplace platform operated by PTS Travel Solutions Ltd. (referred to as "Transferhood", "Company", "we", "us", or "our") that connects customers seeking private transfer services with independent carriers. The platform is accessible via www.transferhood.com and any associated mobile applications.
Transferhood acts exclusively as an intermediary: it does not itself provide transportation services. The actual carriage of passengers is performed by independent carriers who have agreed to be listed on the platform.

1.2 What These Terms Govern
These Terms and Conditions ("T&C" or "Terms") set out the rights and obligations that apply between you (the Customer) and PTS Travel Solutions Ltd. in connection with your use of the Transferhood platform, including browsing, account creation, and the placing of bookings.

1.3 Acceptance
By accessing or using the Transferhood platform — including creating an account, browsing available services, or completing a booking — you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the platform.

1.4 Relationship with Other Documents
These Terms form part of a suite of documents that govern your relationship with Transferhood:
Booking Conditions — specific rules applicable to each transfer booking
Cancellation Policy — rules governing changes, cancellations, and refunds
Privacy Policy — how we collect, use, and protect your personal data
In the event of conflict between these Terms and any of the above documents, these Terms shall prevail unless the other document expressly and specifically states otherwise.

2. Eligibility & Your Account

2.1 Age Requirement
You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account or make a Booking on the Transferhood Platform. Passengers included in a Booking may be aged 14 or above; Passengers under the age of 14 require a specific request and Carrier confirmation. By using the Platform, you confirm that you meet the applicable age requirement.

2.2 Account Registration
To access certain features and place bookings, you may be required to register an account. When registering, you must:
Provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information
Use a valid email address that you control
Create a secure password and keep it confidential
Promptly update your account information if any details change

2.3 Accuracy of Information
You are solely responsible for the accuracy of all information provided during registration and when placing bookings. Providing false, misleading, or incomplete information may result in cancellation of your booking without refund and suspension of your account.

2.4 Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. Any activity carried out through your account is deemed to have been authorised by you. If you suspect unauthorised access to your account, you must notify us immediately at support@transferhood.com.

2.5 Account Inactivity
If your account shows no activity for a continuous period of 24 months, Transferhood reserves the right to close the account after giving reasonable prior notice by email. Any outstanding promotional vouchers at the time of closure will be forfeited unless otherwise required by applicable law. Following account closure, personal data will be deleted or anonymised within 30 days in accordance with our Privacy Policy (Section 9), unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law.

2.6 Account Deletion
You may request deletion of your account at any time by contacting support@transferhood.com. Account deletion requests are processed within 30 days. Please note that certain data may be retained for legal and compliance purposes as described in Article 12.

3. Definitions

In these Terms, the following expressions have the meanings set out below. Other terms may be defined elsewhere in this document.

"Transferhood": The brand name under which PTS Travel Solutions Ltd. operates the platform.

"Company": PTS Travel Solutions Ltd., a company incorporated under Bulgarian law, with registered office at Knyaz Boris I Street No. 8, Floor 5, Office 1, Sofia, Bulgaria, VAT number BG207914623.

"Platform": The website www.transferhood.com and any associated mobile applications through which transfer services can be searched, compared, and booked.

"Customer": The individual who creates an account on the Platform, places a Booking, and is responsible for payment. The Customer may or may not be the same person as the Passenger.

"Passenger": Any person who will actually use the transfer service. This may be the Customer or a third party named by the Customer at the time of Booking.

"Carrier": An independent transportation operator registered on the Platform who offers and provides the actual carriage service. The Carrier is not an employee or agent of the Company.

"Booking": An offer to purchase a transportation service via the Platform, submitted by completing the booking form and following submission of payment.

"Booking Confirmation": An email sent by the Company to the Customer acknowledging that a Booking has been received and confirming the formation of the Transferhood Agreement. The Booking Confirmation includes a copy of or link to these Terms and the Customer's booking details.

"Transport Communication": An email sent by the Company to the Customer no later than 24 hours before the scheduled transfer, informing the Customer that a Carrier has accepted the assignment and that the Contract of Carriage has thereby been formed. The Transport Communication includes the Carrier's details and the driver's contact information.

"Transferhood Agreement": The contract formed between the Customer and the Company upon dispatch of the Booking Confirmation. It governs the platform-related obligations of the Company and incorporates these Terms and the Booking Conditions. The Transferhood Agreement terminates upon dispatch of the Transport Communication, or upon formal notification to the Customer that no Carrier could be assigned, whichever occurs first.

"Contract of Carriage": The contract formed between the Customer and the Carrier upon dispatch of the Transport Communication. It governs the actual provision of the transportation service. The Company facilitates the conclusion of the Contract of Carriage acting as agent in the name and on behalf of the Customer. The Company is not itself a party to the Contract of Carriage.

"Pick-up Time": The date and time specified in the Booking at which the Carrier is scheduled to collect the Passenger from the agreed pick-up location.

"No-Show": A situation in which the Passenger fails to appear at the agreed pick-up location within the applicable waiting period after the Pick-up Time, and the Carrier has been unable to establish contact with the Customer or Passenger via phone or the Platform, resulting in the Carrier departing without completing the service. A cancellation submitted less than 24 hours before the Pick-up Time is also treated as a No-Show for the purposes of these Terms.

4. How Transferhood Works

4.1 Intermediary Role
Transferhood operates as an online intermediary marketplace. The Company does not itself carry passengers, own the vehicles used for transfers, or employ the drivers who perform the services. All transportation services are provided by independent Carriers.

4.2 Two-Contract Structure
Your engagement with the platform involves two distinct contractual relationships:
Transferhood Agreement (Platform ↔ Customer): governs the Company's obligation to find a suitable Carrier and facilitate the booking process. This agreement is formed at Booking Confirmation and terminates at Transport Communication.
Contract of Carriage (Customer ↔ Carrier): governs the actual transportation service. This agreement is formed when the Transport Communication is dispatched to the Customer.

4.3 Company as Agent
By completing a Booking, the Customer authorises the Company to collect the total Booking amount on the Customer's behalf and to remit the net amount to the Carrier upon completion of the transport service. The Company acts solely in a facilitation capacity; it is not a party to the Contract of Carriage.

4.4 Obligation of Means
The Company's obligation under the Transferhood Agreement is an obligation of means ("obligation de moyens"): the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify and assign a suitable Carrier. The Company does not guarantee that a Carrier will be available for every Booking, nor does it guarantee any particular outcome of the service.

4.5 Carrier Independence
Each Carrier is an independent business operator. While the Company sets quality standards and monitors Carrier performance through customer reviews and operational metrics, the Company does not direct, supervise, or control the day-to-day operations of any Carrier. Carriers are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable transport regulations, licensing requirements, and insurance obligations.

5. Booking Process & Contract Formation

5.1 How to Place a Booking
To place a Booking, you must complete the following steps via the Platform:
Enter your pick-up location, destination, date, time, and number of passengers
Select a suitable vehicle category from the available options
Provide any relevant flight or transport reference numbers and special requirements
Review the booking summary, including the total price and applicable policies
Accept these Terms and submit payment

5.2 Booking as an Offer
Submitting a Booking constitutes an offer by you to purchase the specified transfer service at the stated price. No binding contract is formed at the point of submission.

5.3 Booking Confirmation
The Transferhood Agreement is formed when the Company sends a Booking Confirmation email to the email address provided. The Booking Confirmation will include:
A summary of your booking details (route, date, time, vehicle type, price)
The Customer's name and contact information as submitted
A copy of or link to these Terms and Conditions
Your unique booking reference number

5.4 Carrier Search — Intermediary Activity
Following Booking Confirmation, the Company begins its intermediary function: identifying and approaching available Carriers who match the booking requirements. This process is carried out by the Company on behalf of the Customer.

5.5 Transport Communication & Contract of Carriage
Once a Carrier accepts the assignment, the Company dispatches the Transport Communication to the Customer no later than 24 hours before the scheduled Pick-up Time. Receipt of the Transport Communication confirms that the Contract of Carriage has been formed between the Customer and the Carrier.
The Transport Communication includes:
The Carrier's name and registered details
The driver's name and direct contact number
The vehicle make, model, and registration plate
Confirmation of the agreed Pick-up Time and location

5.6 Termination of Transferhood Agreement
The Transferhood Agreement terminates automatically upon dispatch of the Transport Communication. From that point, the Customer's primary contractual relationship with respect to the carriage itself is governed by the Contract of Carriage.

5.7 Last-Minute Bookings
For bookings placed with fewer than 6 hours before the scheduled Pick-up Time ("last-minute bookings"), the Transport Communication may be dispatched with a shorter lead time. In such cases, the Customer is advised to check the Platform directly for real-time updates on Carrier assignment and driver details.

5.8 Service Unavailability
If the Company is unable to assign a suitable Carrier, Article 9.6 of these Terms applies. The Transferhood Agreement remains in effect until the Company formally notifies the Customer that no Carrier can be assigned.

6. Pricing, Payment & Invoicing

6.1 Prices and Currency
All prices displayed on the Platform are quoted in EUR, GBP, or USD. You may select your preferred display currency. The price shown at the time of Booking is the total amount payable for the transfer service as defined in your booking.

6.2 Price Setting
Prices for transfer services listed on the Platform are set by the Company, not by individual Carriers. Carriers are contractually obliged to honour the prices agreed at the time of Booking. No additional charges may be levied by the Carrier for services included within the original booking. Prices displayed on the Platform are dynamically calculated and may vary based on demand, timing, and availability. The price confirmed at the time of Booking is fixed and will not be subject to change after Booking Confirmation is issued.

6.3 Services Outside the Booking
Certain services fall outside the scope of a standard Booking and may be subject to separate charges agreed directly between the Customer and the Carrier:
Additional stops not included in the original route
Excess or oversized luggage that was not declared at the time of Booking
Waiting time charges beyond the free waiting periods set out in Article 8.3
The Company is not responsible for pricing or disputes relating to services falling outside the original Booking scope.

6.3.1 Optional Supplementary Services
The following optional services may be available for selection at the time of Booking, subject to Carrier availability:
Meet & Greet (driver waiting inside the terminal with a name board)
Waiting Time Extension
Door-to-Door luggage assistance
Porter service
Where such services are selected and paid for at the time of Booking, the service description as listed on the Platform at the time of Booking shall apply. The Company's liability for supplementary services is limited to the refund of the amount paid for the specific supplementary service.

6.4 Payment Collection
Full payment for the Booking is collected at the time the Booking is placed. Accepted payment methods include major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Maestro) and digital payment options such as Google Pay, Apple Pay, and PayPal displayed on the Platform at the time of Booking.

6.5 Invoicing
The Company collects payment on behalf of the Carrier solely for the purpose of payment processing and does not thereby become a party to the Contract of Carriage. A tax invoice or receipt for the transfer service is issued by the Carrier as the service provider. The Company facilitates electronic delivery of this document to the Customer's registered email address following completion of the transfer.

6.6 Currency Conversion
Where your payment card or bank account is denominated in a currency different from the Booking currency, currency conversion will be carried out by your card issuer or bank according to their own policies and exchange rates. The Company is not responsible for any conversion fees or exchange rate differences applied by third-party financial institutions.

6.7 Additional Charges
If any additional charges become applicable following the transfer (for example, approved waiting time extensions or out-of-scope services that were pre-authorised), these will be collected from the original payment method on the next business day following the transfer.

6.8 Additional Charges Policy
6.8.1 Any additional services requested before the Carrier and Passenger meet must be arranged through the Platform. Payment for such pre-arranged additional services will be processed through the Platform.
6.8.2 Any additional services agreed directly between the Customer or Passenger and the Carrier after the physical meeting at the pick-up point are entirely at the Carrier's discretion. If the Carrier agrees to provide such services, any payment shall be made directly to the Carrier. The Company has no involvement in, and accepts no responsibility or liability for, such arrangements.

7. Your Transfer: Service Standards

7.1 Carrier Obligations
Vehicle images displayed on the Platform are for illustrative purposes only. The actual vehicle provided may differ in make, model, colour, and size from the images shown, provided it meets the vehicle category confirmed in the Booking.
Carriers registered on the Platform are required to:
Arrive at the agreed pick-up location at or before the Pick-up Time
Maintain a professional, courteous standard of service throughout the journey
Provide a vehicle appropriate for the number of passengers and luggage declared in the Booking
Keep the Company informed of any delays or issues that affect the service

7.2 Vehicle Standards
All vehicles used by Carriers on the Platform must be:
Licensed and authorised for passenger transportation under applicable national regulations
Adequately insured for passenger liability
Maintained in a condition that meets or exceeds applicable safety standards
Clean and presentable at the time of pick-up

7.3 Driver Information
Upon dispatch of the Transport Communication, the Customer will receive the following information about the assigned driver and vehicle:
Full name of the driver
Direct mobile contact number
Vehicle make, model, colour, and registration plate
This information enables the Customer and Passenger to identify and contact the driver directly if needed on the day of travel.

7.4 Carrier as Independent Operator
Carriers operate as independent businesses. They are not employees, agents, or representatives of PTS Travel Solutions Ltd. The Company does not supervise individual journeys and is not liable for acts or omissions of Carriers during the provision of the carriage service.

7.5 Service Quality Complaints
If you experience a problem with the quality of service provided by a Carrier, you should report this through the process described in Article 10.5. Carriers who consistently receive poor ratings are subject to removal from the Platform.

8. Flight Monitoring & Waiting Times

8.1 Flight Monitoring
Where a Customer provides a valid flight number at the time of Booking, the Platform may attempt to track the status of the designated flight through third-party aviation data feeds. This service is provided on a best-effort basis only. The Company does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or availability of flight status information and accepts no liability for any failure to detect, report, or act upon a flight delay or cancellation. The Customer remains responsible for monitoring their own flight status and notifying the Company of any delay or cancellation as promptly as possible.

8.2 No-Show Exception — Flight Delay
If a Passenger is unable to reach the pick-up point within the applicable waiting period due to a documented flight delay, the Passenger will not be treated as a No-Show, provided that both of the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) The correct flight number was entered into the Booking at the time of submission; and
(ii) The Customer has notified the Company of the delay as promptly as possible through the Platform or at support@transferhood.com, and has provided supporting evidence if requested.
Where both conditions are met, the Company will endeavour to coordinate with the assigned Carrier to adjust the Pick-up Time to reflect the revised arrival. This coordination is provided on a best-effort basis and does not guarantee the availability of the Carrier for the revised time. Customers who fail to enter a flight number or enter an incorrect flight number cannot rely on this exception.

8.3 Waiting Times
The following complimentary waiting periods apply:
Airport and seaport/cruise port transfers: 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time, calculated from the official flight landing time or vessel docking time as reported by the relevant authority.
Railway station, hotel, and all other pick-up addresses: 15 minutes of complimentary waiting time, calculated from the scheduled Pick-up Time.
If the Passenger has not appeared at the designated pick-up point by the end of the applicable waiting period, and the Carrier has been unable to establish contact with the Customer or Passenger via phone or the Platform, the Carrier is entitled to leave and the booking will be treated as a No-Show. No refund will be issued in a No-Show situation, except where Article 8.2 or Article 9.4 applies.

8.4 Carrier No-Show
If the Carrier fails to appear at the agreed pick-up location at the Pick-up Time, the Customer should take the following steps:
Attempt to contact the driver using the number provided in the Transport Communication
Report the situation immediately to Transferhood via the Platform or by emailing support@transferhood.com
Upon receiving a Carrier no-show report, the Company will attempt to assign an alternative Carrier as quickly as possible and keep the Customer informed of progress in real time where practicable. If the Company is unable to provide an alternative Carrier and the transfer cannot be completed, the Customer will receive a full refund, processed within 5–7 business days.

8.4.2 Carrier Late Arrival
If the Carrier arrives after the scheduled Pick-up Time and the Customer or Passenger agrees to proceed with the Transport Service, the Customer may be entitled to a partial refund at the Company's discretion. To request consideration of a partial refund, the Customer must report the late arrival through the Platform or at support@transferhood.com before the Transport Service commences.

9. Changes, Cancellations & Refunds

9.1 Right of Withdrawal
9.1.1 In accordance with applicable consumer protection legislation, including Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights, the Customer acknowledges that the statutory right of withdrawal does not apply to transport services where the contract provides for a specific date or period of performance. By completing a Booking on the Platform, the Customer expressly acknowledges that the 14-day right of withdrawal available under distance selling regulations is excluded for the transportation services offered through Transferhood.
9.1.2 This exclusion does not affect the Customer's right to cancel a Booking in accordance with the cancellation policy set out in this Section 9.

9.2 Booking Changes
9.2.1 Off-Platform Arrangements: All modification requests, cancellation requests, and additional service arrangements must be submitted exclusively through the Platform or via support@transferhood.com. The Customer may not contact or negotiate directly with the Carrier to alter the terms of a confirmed Booking outside the Platform. Any arrangements made outside the Platform are not binding on the Company and may affect the Customer's rights under these Terms.
Changes requested and confirmed more than 24 hours before the Pick-up Time: no additional charge.
Changes requested and confirmed within 24 hours of the Pick-up Time: may be subject to an additional fee, which will be communicated to the Customer before confirmation.
The Company cannot guarantee that all requested changes can be accommodated, particularly for last-minute requests.
In the event that there are no Carriers available to carry out the transport service following a modification request submitted within 24 hours of the Pick-up Time, the Booking will not be modified and no refund will be due.
In the event that the vehicle indicated at the time of Booking is unavailable due to a modification request submitted within 24 hours of the Pick-up Time, the transport service may be carried out on a vehicle of a lower type and/or category. By submitting such a modification request, the Customer expressly waives any right to a refund arising from such change of vehicle.

9.3 Cancellation Policy
The following cancellation rules apply:
Cancellation more than 24 hours before Pick-up Time: Full refund to the original payment method. No cancellation fee. A cancellation made exactly 24 hours or less before the scheduled Pick-up Time falls within the 'within 24 hours' category.
Cancellation within 24 hours of Pick-up Time or No-Show: No refund. The full booking amount is forfeited, subject only to the flight delay exception in Article 8.2 and the flight or train cancellation provisions in Article 9.4.
Only the Customer who placed the Booking is entitled to submit a cancellation request. Cancellation requests from third parties, including Passengers named in the Booking, will not be processed without the Customer's explicit authorisation.

9.4 Flight and Train Cancellation and Delay
9.4.1 Flight Delays: Where the Customer's inbound flight is delayed, the Company will endeavour to detect the delay on a best-effort basis, provided that the correct flight number was entered at the time of Booking and the Customer has notified the Company as required under Article 8.2. Where the conditions set out in Article 8.2 are satisfied, no cancellation or No-Show shall be recorded, and the Company will attempt to coordinate with the assigned Carrier to adjust the Pick-up Time accordingly, subject to Carrier availability.

9.4.2 Flight Cancellations by the Airline:
(a) If the airline does not offer an alternative flight, or the Customer declines the alternative flight offered: The Customer must provide documentary evidence of the cancellation. Upon receipt of satisfactory evidence, the Booking will be cancelled and a full refund issued.
(b) If the airline offers an alternative flight and the Customer accepts it: The Customer must notify the Company as soon as possible. The Company will endeavour to arrange a Carrier for the new flight; if a suitable Carrier is available, the transfer will proceed; if not, the Booking will be cancelled and a full refund issued.

9.4.3 The Customer is responsible for notifying the Company of any flight cancellation or significant change as promptly as possible through the Platform or at support@transferhood.com.

9.4.4 Train Delays: Where the Customer's inbound train is significantly delayed, the Customer must notify the Company as promptly as possible through the Platform or at support@transferhood.com and provide supporting evidence if requested. The Company will attempt to coordinate with the assigned Carrier to adjust the Pick-up Time accordingly, subject to Carrier availability.

9.4.5 Train Cancellations by the Rail Operator:
(a) If the rail operator does not offer an alternative train: The Customer must provide documentary evidence of the cancellation. Upon receipt of satisfactory evidence, the Booking will be cancelled and a full refund issued.
(b) If the rail operator offers an alternative train and the Customer accepts it: The Customer must notify the Company as soon as possible. The Company will endeavour to arrange a Carrier for the new arrival time; if not possible, the Booking will be cancelled and a full refund issued.

9.4.6 The Customer is responsible for notifying the Company of any train cancellation or significant delay as promptly as possible through the Platform or at support@transferhood.com.

9.5 Refund Processing
Refunds are processed as follows:
Eligible cancellations (more than 24 hours in advance): Processed automatically within 5–7 business days.
Refunds arising from Carrier fault (e.g. Carrier no-show): Processed within 5–7 business days following verification of the reported incident and Company approval.

9.6 Service Unavailability
In the event that the Company is unable to assign a Carrier to your Booking before the Transport Communication deadline, the Company will:
Notify you by email as promptly as possible
Process a full refund to your original payment method without any deduction
The Company's liability in such cases is limited to the refund of the Booking amount. The Company shall not be held responsible for consequential costs incurred as a result of service unavailability, except where such costs arise from the Company's proven gross negligence.

10. Your Responsibilities

10.1 Accuracy of Booking Information
You are responsible for ensuring that all information provided in a Booking is accurate and complete, including:
Pick-up and drop-off addresses (specific enough for the driver to locate you)
Flight or train numbers (if applicable)
Accurate passenger and luggage count
Any special requirements (child seats, wheelchair accessibility, etc.)
The Company and the Carrier rely on the information you provide. Errors or omissions may result in service failure for which neither the Company nor the Carrier can be held liable.

10.2 Punctuality
You and your Passengers must be ready at the agreed pick-up location at the Pick-up Time. The complimentary waiting periods in Article 8.3 are provided as a reasonable buffer; arriving after the waiting period has expired may result in a No-Show with no entitlement to a refund.

10.3 No Direct Payment to Carrier
You must not make any direct cash or card payment to the Carrier for services covered by your Booking. The agreed transfer price is settled exclusively through the Platform. Additional services outside the Booking scope that are agreed on the day are the Customer's responsibility.

10.4 No Off-Platform Arrangements
You must not attempt to arrange future transfers directly with a Carrier outside the Platform. Doing so circumvents the protections afforded by the Transferhood Agreement and may result in suspension of your account.

10.5 Reporting Issues
If you encounter any issue with your transfer service — including Carrier lateness, vehicle non-compliance, or unprofessional conduct — you should report it as promptly as possible, ideally within 15 minutes of the issue arising, either through the Platform or at support@transferhood.com. The Company will acknowledge your complaint within 1 business day of receipt. Where the complaint requires supporting documentation (such as photos, receipts, or booking references), the Customer must provide all relevant evidence within 24 hours of submitting the complaint. Failure to provide the requested documentation within this period may result in the complaint being closed without further action.

10.6 Lawful Use
You must not use the Platform or the services facilitated through it for any unlawful purpose, including:
The transportation of prohibited or illegal goods
Any activity that violates applicable national or EU law
Any attempt to defraud the Company, Carriers, or other users of the Platform

10.7 Child Safety Equipment
10.7.1 If any Passenger is a child requiring a child seat, booster seat, or other safety equipment, the Customer must request the relevant equipment at the time of Booking. The Company and the Carrier are not obliged to provide child safety equipment that has not been requested in advance.
10.7.2 If the Customer fails to request required child safety equipment at the time of Booking and the Carrier is unable to provide it at the pick-up point, the Carrier may refuse to carry the child Passenger, at the Carrier's discretion. In such circumstances, no refund will be issued.

10.8 Luggage Allowance
10.8.1 The standard luggage allowance per Passenger is: one (1) piece of hand luggage to be kept in the passenger compartment, and one (1) piece of checked luggage not exceeding 20 kg.
10.8.2 Any luggage exceeding this allowance must be declared at the time of Booking. Failure to declare excess luggage may result in the Carrier refusing to transport the excess items or the entire service, at the Carrier's discretion. No refund will be issued in such circumstances.
10.8.3 The Customer is responsible for ensuring that luggage is properly secured and does not present a safety risk.

10.9 Passengers with Reduced Mobility or Special Requirements
10.9.1 If any Passenger has reduced mobility, requires a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, or has any other special requirement relating to the vehicle or equipment, the Customer must declare this at the time of Booking.
10.9.2 Failure to declare such requirements in advance may result in the Carrier being unable to provide the service at the pick-up point. In such circumstances, the Carrier may refuse to carry the Passenger, at the Carrier's discretion, and no refund will be issued.

10.10 Transportation of Animals
10.10.1 If any animal is to be transported, the Customer must declare this at the time of Booking, providing details of the animal's size, species, and intended method of containment or transport.
10.10.2 Failure to declare the presence of an animal in advance may result in the Carrier refusing to provide the service. In such circumstances, no refund will be issued.
10.10.3 The acceptance of animal transportation is at the Carrier's discretion. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the animal is properly contained and does not present a nuisance or safety risk to the Carrier or other Passengers.

11. Our Responsibilities & Liability

11.1 Scope of Company's Responsibilities
The Company is responsible for operating the Platform in a professional manner, for facilitating the booking process, and for using commercially reasonable efforts to assign a suitable Carrier to each confirmed Booking. The Company's obligations are intermediary obligations — they do not extend to the actual performance of the carriage service.

11.2 No Liability for Carrier Acts or Omissions
As Carriers are independent operators, the Company is not liable for any act, omission, negligence, or default of a Carrier, including but not limited to:
Delays in arrival at the pick-up point
Driving standards or conduct during the journey
Vehicle breakdowns or mechanical failures
Loss of or damage to luggage during carriage
Personal injury suffered during the journey

11.2.1 Third-Party Carrier Delays
The Company is not responsible for delays, cancellations, or failures caused by third-party carriers, including airlines, railway operators, ferries, or other transportation providers, even where such events directly affect the Customer's ability to use the transfer service booked through the Platform. In the event of such a delay, the Customer is responsible for notifying the Company as promptly as possible through the Platform or at support@transferhood.com, and is advised to seek compensation directly from the third-party carrier responsible.

11.3 Liability Cap
In cases where the Company is found liable for a failure of its own intermediary obligations under the Transferhood Agreement, and where such failure results from ordinary negligence (as opposed to gross negligence or wilful misconduct), the Company's total liability to the Customer shall not exceed the Booking amount paid by the Customer for the affected transfer. This cap applies regardless of the nature of the claim, save that where gross negligence or wilful misconduct by the Company is proven, this limitation shall not restrict claims for direct losses only.

11.4 Consequential Loss Exclusion
The Company shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential losses, including (except in cases of gross negligence or wilful misconduct by the Company):
Missed connecting flights, trains, or other onward travel
Accommodation or rebooking costs arising from a failed or delayed transfer
Loss of business opportunities or income
Reputational damage

11.5 Force Majeure
The Company shall not be liable for any failure to fulfil its obligations caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control. See Article 15 for a full description of force majeure events.

11.6 Platform Availability
The Company endeavours to maintain the Platform's availability at all times but does not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Company is not liable for any loss resulting from temporary unavailability of the Platform due to maintenance, technical failure, or third-party service disruptions.

12. Data Protection & Privacy

The Company processes your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and applicable Bulgarian data protection law. This includes processing for the purposes of managing your Booking, communicating with you, sharing necessary details with assigned Carriers, and complying with legal obligations. You have the right to access, correct, erase, restrict, object to, and port your personal data, as well as to withdraw consent and to lodge a complaint with the Bulgarian Commission for Personal Data Protection (CPDP), 2 Prof. Tsvetan Lazarov Blvd., Sofia 1592, Bulgaria, www.cpdp.bg. To exercise your rights, contact our Data Protection Officer at dpo@transferhood.com. Full details of our data practices — including retention periods, data sharing arrangements, automated decision-making, and children's privacy — are set out in our Privacy Policy at www.transferhood.com/privacy-policy.

12.1 Privacy Policy
For full details of how we collect, use, and protect your personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy, available at www.transferhood.com/privacy-policy.

12.2 Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our Platform. For full details of the cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and how to manage your preferences, please refer to our Cookie Policy available at www.transferhood.com/cookie-policy.

13. Transparency: Reviews & Ranking

13.1 Customer Reviews
Customers who have completed a transfer booked through the Platform are invited to submit a rating and written review of the service received. Reviews are used to:
Inform other Customers when selecting a Carrier
Provide Carriers with feedback to improve their service
Monitor Carrier performance against quality standards
When submitting a review, you agree that:
Your review is based on your genuine, first-hand experience of the transfer
You will not submit reviews that are false, defamatory, or in breach of any applicable law
You have not received, and will not accept, any incentive in exchange for submitting a positive review
The Company reserves the right to remove reviews that are clearly fraudulent, irrelevant, or otherwise in violation of these principles. By submitting a review, you grant the Company the rights set out in Article 14.3 with respect to that content.

13.2 Carrier Ranking
The order in which Carriers appear in search results on the Platform is determined by an algorithm that takes into account the following criteria:
Aggregate customer rating and overall completion rate
Speed of response to Booking requests and consistency of availability
Proximity of the Carrier's operating base to the requested pick-up location
Suitability of vehicle type and capacity for the requested transfer
