General Terms and Conditions of Trade of ÖBB-Personenverkehr AG for the ÖBB
BUSINESScard
1. The BUSINESScard (called "card" hereinafter) is a payment card issued by ÖBB-Personenverkehr AG (called "ÖBB" hereinafter). The card
entitles the customer to obtain reduced or regular tickets and reservations under the terms stated in these Terms and Conditions and the ÖBB's
fare policies. The customer must purchase the minimum quantity established in the PT/ÖBB Personentarif ÖBB. The card is valid for three years.
If the customer does not meet the minimum quantity established in the fare policies, ÖBB may terminate the card contract and refrain from issuing
a card to the customer for the subsequent years. When ÖBB accepts the card contract, the customer receives the requested number of cards as
long as he or she fulfils all requirements in these Terms and Conditions and the ÖBB's fare policies regarding the acquisition and use of the card.
The card includes the desired (company) identification, the card number, and the expiration date and is transferable as a rule. Giving the card to
third parties who are not the customer's employees is prohibited. By accepting and using this card, the card holder acknowledges these Terms
and Conditions. Every card issued remains the property of the ÖBB. The ÖBB is not obligated to accept a card application. Card issue is free for
the client for a card quantity of up to 20 units; the client will be charged a sum of € 4.00 (incl. VAT) for each additional card in the first monthly bill
after card receipt.
2. The card holder must take care of his or her card and is liable for any misuse. If the card is lost or stolen, the card holder must notify ÖBB
immediately by telephone, fax, or email. The loss or theft must also be reported to the nearest police station. When ÖBB receives the report of the
lost or stolen card, ÖBB will block and invalidate the card. From this point on the card holder is freed from all other liability. If the card reported lost
is found again, it must be sent back to ÖBB immediately.
3. The card is valid for three years and expires at the end of the expiration date engraved on the card. Using an expired, invalid, blocked, or
terminated card is prohibited. The card holder must ensure that expired, invalid, blocked, or terminated cards cannot be re-used and destroy the
card. The card holder is generally liable for misuse of the card. The card holder may terminate the open-ended use contract with one month's
notice at any time in writing and with simultaneous return of the card(s). The termination goes into effect upon receipt of the termination letter and
the card(s) at ÖBB; services claimed from ÖBB before receipt of the card or termination letter will still be charged. When returning the card, the
card holder should first make the card unusable by cutting it up in order to prevent misuse.
4. The ÖBB is entitled to terminate the use contract with one month's notice without stating reasons. The ÖBB is entitled to terminate the contract for
cause with immediate effect. Cause particularly includes a breach of these Terms and Conditions, misuse of the card, failure to pay the bill on
time, lack of adequate balance in the card holder's account, or the opening of insolvency or judicial composition proceedings for the card holder's
assets.
5. Any use of an expired, invalid (blocked), or terminated card is prohibited.
6. Billing/payment: the card holder acknowledges the correctness of the amount of the monthly bill if he or she has not objected in writing within 30
days of issue. Written objection does not release the card holder from the obligation to pay the bill on time. The card holder may only use the card
as long as he or she is in a position to pay the monthly bills on time. The card holder agrees to transfer the amount of the monthly bill to the given
bank connection within 30 days of the billing date.
7. The card holder may choose between the following payment methods:
a) Payment of the total outstanding amount via the payment form included with the bill before the deadline stated on the bill. This payment
method is generally considered agreed.
b) Payment of the total outstanding amount via collection from the card holder's giro account before the deadline stated on the bill. In this case,
the card holder must ensure that the giro account referred to the ÖBB has a sufficient balance when collection is completed.
8. The card holder must immediately report any change of bank connection or address/email address to the ÖBB in writing. Writing statements from
the ÖBB are considered received if they are sent to the card holder's last known address/email address.
9. Amendments of these Terms and Conditions, especially of the expenses, costs, and fees to be charged and the default interest rate or
amendment of the reduced rate for fare prices will be reported to the card holder in writing. All changes go into effect 14 days after issue and are
considered approved if the card holder does not either return the card or terminate the card contract in writing within this period. If the contract is
not terminated, the card holder commissions the ÖBB to issue a new card before the old card's expiration date and to send it to the last known
address.
10. If the use contract is not terminated, the card holder commissions the ÖBB to issue a new card before the old card's expiration date and to send it
to the last known address.

Transportation Regulations also include the reduced rate for fares. The Fare and Transportation Regulations can be accessed at the ÖBB
Personenkassen or online at www.oebb.at.
