All contacts with regard to the performance of the contract of carriage shall take place, with the exclusion of the Operator, only between interested Users.
Getthebox platform acts only as an intermediary in associating Users for the purpose of Carriage of Goods, therefore the fulfilment of the conditions specified in these Rules and Regulations does not release Professional Users from the obligation to comply with all the formalities required by law, including the possession of appropriate permits, issuing and delivery of waybills.

Sending of Parcels

The application allows for the possibility of ordering the Transport of Parcels both by the Sender and the Recipient, as well as by the User who is neither the Sender nor the Recipient and who would like to transport the parcel from one entity – the Sender to another entity – the Recipient who are not Users of the Platform.
The User who would like to send a Parcel should use the “Sender’s Zone” tab and complete the following data:
1. description of the Parcel – presenting a short description of the Parcel, e.g. dimensions, weight, number of pieces, method of packing (europallet),
2. indication whether a trailer or a vehicle with a maximum permissible weight of more than 3.5 t is required for the Carriage,
3. identification of the payer of the Carriage Service as the sender (“Sender Pays”) or the Recipient (“Recipient Pays”);
4. Indication of Sender’s data: name, telephone number and e-mail address, in addition to the shipment address,
5. Indication of the recipient’s data: name, telephone number and e-mail address, and also the pickup address of the shipment.
Providing the above information is necessary for the proper performance of the Service by other Users of the Platform, but not all the information provided in the Advertisement will be visible to other Users:
1. after filling in the Advertisement form and its acceptance by the User, the Advertisement becomes visible to all other Users of the Platform only to the extent of the address of sending and receiving the Parcel specified in the Advertisement;
2. after the Parcel has been reserved by the User who is the Driver, the Sender’s contact details will be made available to this User in order to contact him and determine the details of taking up the Parcel, while the Sender will be given a QR or PIN code indicated in the Advertisement for the driver to take up the Parcel, together with the details of the Parcel, including the place of dispatch, place of collection and description of the Parcel;
3. after the Recipient’s driver has taken over the shipment, the Recipient’s e-mail address and telephone number will be provided with the QR code and PIN code used to collect the shipment together with the Driver’s data and details concerning the Parcel, including the place of shipment, place of collection and description of the Parcel.
Reserving a Parcel causes a temporary blockade of the Parcel for other Users of the Platform, for whom the Parcel is still visible, but not available for booking. The Parcel is unblocked in case of resignation of the Driver from Carriage of the Parcel, or expiry of the booking time.
The User sending the Parcel may edit the content of the Advertisement and may remove the Advertisement at any time, including after the Parcel has been taken up by the Driver for Carriage. In such a case, the User sending the Parcel is obliged to collect the parcel from the Driver at his own expense and risk (e.g. personally, by another User or by mail or courier) and to pay the entire remuneration for the Carriage specified in the Advertisement.
All data included in the Advertisement by the User should be indicated by the User in a reliable manner and be true.

Searching for and receiving Parcels

A driver who wants to transport a shipment can search for it before the planned journey in the Application in the “Plan Route” tab or on the Getthebox Platform website. www.getthebox.eu in the “Search for Parcels” tab, indicating the place of departure and destination of your journey. In order to set the starting point of the journey, the driver can use the option of automatically downloading the GPS position if the driver is just at the starting point of the journey, and in order to add a Parcel found on the Getthebox Transport Platform website, the User can search for the parcel in the Application, or scan the QR code of the Application installed on the website or use the function of sharing the Parcel via e-mail address via the Getthebox Platform website.
If there are no Parcels to be transported at the starting point of the journey, the Driver may set in the Application the destination and the search radius (expressed in kilometres, not greater than the one indicated in the Application), and the Application will continuously search for Parcels to be sent at a given distance from the driver’s current location, taking into account the planned route and the destination and the indicated search radius as potential places of collection of the Parcel.
After the driver finds a suitable Advertisement and makes a reservation, the Parcel is added to the “Driver’s Zone” tab, the Sender of the Parcel automatically receives a QR code and PIN code for sending the Parcel to the e-mail address and telephone number specified in the Advertisement, while the driver receives in the Application access to the contact details of the Sender, with whom he can agree on the details of taking the Parcel. Receipt of the shipment should take place not later than within 1 hour. The sender can not extend this period.
The shipment is picked up by scanning the QR code sent to the Sender by the driver or entering the PIN code in his Application. When the Advertisement states that the settlement is made at the moment of sending, the driver settles the settlement with the sender in cash or cashless via PayPal.Me, and the Application allows the change of the settlement method from cashless to cash.
The individual User who is the Driver undertakes not to demand a higher remuneration for the Carriage than the actual costs incurred in order to obtain any profits, and in addition, on the basis of shared costs, the individual User who is the Driver must bear his own part of the costs associated with the Carriage. The driver is solely responsible for calculating the costs incurred during the trip and checking whether the amount required from other Users does not exceed the actual costs incurred (taking into account the User’s own contribution).
When the Parcel is taken, the risk of accidental loss of / damage to the Parcel passes to the Driver.
The driver may resign from Carriage of the Parcel at the latest until it is taken. The Driver should immediately inform the User sending the Parcel, i.e. by sending a text message or by telephone, about the resignation from the Parcel Transport. Cancellation of the Parcel Carriage also takes place automatically if the time of booking the Parcel indicated in point 3 above has elapsed. After taking the parcel from the Sender, the Driver cannot resign from Carriage of the Parcel, which means that the Parcel is obliged to be delivered to the Recipient. The driver is responsible to the User sending the Parcel for proper performance of the contract.

Collection of Shipments

After receiving the Parcel, the Recipient automatically receives to the e-mail address and telephone number specified in the Advertisement the QR code and PIN code used to collect the Parcel together with the Driver’s data and details concerning the Parcel, including the place of shipment, place of collection and description of the Parcel, while the Driver receives in the Application access to the contact details of the Recipient, with whom he can agree on the details of delivery of the Parcel.
Receipt of the Parcel takes place by scanning the QR code sent to the Recipient by the Driver or entering the PIN code into his Application. When the Advertisement states that the settlement takes place at the moment of collection, the driver settles the settlement with the Recipient in cash or cashless via PayPal.Me, and the Application allows the change of the settlement method from cashless to cash.

Credibility of the User

The Operator may introduce a functionality consisting in publication of an individual counter of Parcels transported by a given User. A large number of shipments transported may build up the status of a given User as an experienced person, but it does not prejudge the fact that the User who does not have any shipments transported is unreliable.

IX. TERMS OF PAYMENT FOR CARRIAGE

Payment for the Carriage is made according to the choice of the User sending the Parcel at the moment of sending the Parcel (i.e. handing over the Parcel to the User being the Driver to be sent by the Sender) or collecting the Parcel (i.e. handing over the Parcel to the Recipient for collection).
Payment for the Carriage is made without cash – by PayPal.Me service (directly through the above mentioned service, without any intermediary of the Application, after the User has registered for the service) or in cash.
The driver may withhold the delivery of the Parcel to the Recipient if the Recipient does not offer to pay for the Carriage performed in accordance with the information contained in the Advertisement. In such a case, the User sending the Parcel is obliged to collect the parcel from the Driver at his own expense and risk (e.g. personally, by another User or by mail or courier) and to pay the entire remuneration for the Carriage specified in the Advertisement.
The Users are obliged to solve mutual claims between themselves, without the intermediary of the Operator, who is not a party to the Contract of Carriage and is not liable in accordance with the “Operator’s Liability” chapter,
For each Carriage the Driver is obliged to pay the Operator a fixed amount of commission in the amount of 2 PLN gross. The amount of the commission becomes due when the shipment is taken over by the driver, i.e. the QR code is scanned or the PIN code provided to the Sender is entered. The amount of the commission is credited to the Driver’s account after the Carriage. The amount of the commission is paid to the Operator’s account via PayPal.Me:
1. within 7 days from the date when the balance of the User’s Account reaches the amount of at least 10 PLN,
2. within 30 days from the date of performing the last Carriage, independent of the balance of the User’s Account, unless another Carriage is performed within this time,
whichever comes first.
Failure to pay the commission within the specified deadlines results in blocking the possibility of accepting the Parcels for Carriage.
The user can verify the status of the balance in the “Driver’s Zone” tab.
In the event of a delay in payment of more than 14 days, the case will be automatically forwarded to the Collection Department.

Individual users

Individual users undertake to use the services through the platform only occasionally to establish contacts on a non-commercial and non-business basis, in order to minimise the costs of the journeys performed.
The amount of remuneration for Carriage of the Parcel is determined by the User who intends to send the Parcel. An individual user who is a Driver is aware that it is forbidden to make any profits from the use of the Platform. Therefore, the User undertakes to accept only such Advertisements, the remuneration of which will cover part of the costs actually incurred in connection with the Carriage. Otherwise, the individual user bears the full risk in relation to the reclassification of a transaction carried out through the Platform.

Professional users

Professional users can accept all Advertisements, regardless of the amount of remuneration and frequency of the Carriage.
Professional users issue bills or invoices at the request of the Users who send the Parcels or the Senders or the Recipients of the Parcels, in accordance with the arrangements made between them.
