to access the Application and use the Service.
“Individual
Vehicle Rental Agreement” Refers to each vehicle rental contract that the User enters
into with Guppy, which governs that specific Vehicle Rental, as each rental may

Application.
- Each rental begins once the User interacts
with the “Start Rental” button and confirms their intention to
start it on the following screen by selecting “Yes, I want to rent
the vehicle” through the Application (the mere Reservation, without
confirming the start of the rental, does not imply entering into the
contract). The phrase “Rental successfully started” will then be displayed
at the top of the screen, and the User will be prompted to report any
potential damages to the vehicle.
- The rental ends when the User interacts
with the “End Rental” button and confirms their intention to end it on the
following screen by selecting “Yes” in response to the question, “Are you
sure you want to end the rental?” through the Application. Exceptions to
ending a rental this way apply in cases where: (i) the vehicle is not in
the Guppy Zone, (ii) the vehicle is unlocked or running, (iii) the vehicle
is one that can only be returned to Guppy Points, or (iv) other scenarios
announced within the Application before starting the rental.
- The Rental Agreement will be deemed expressly
accepted by the User in two situations: (i) in the case of a

vehicle” through the Application.

the Application display.
“Service” Refers to the various mobility services offered by

special conditions.
“Guppy
Zone” Refers to the area where any User may start and/or end
the rental.
- The Guppy Zone excludes: (i) areas
designated for loading and unloading, areas marked as private or any other
areas where parking is expressly prohibited (regardless of whether the
restriction is temporary or not); (ii) it also excludes other locations
where parking is generally prohibited, such as sidewalks, parks, or
beaches, or other areas within the Guppy Zone where general traffic rules
prohibit parking. In such areas, Users may neither park nor end the
Service.
- The Guppy Zone may be expanded or reduced based
on agreements or arrangements between Guppy and third parties, including
various public administrations, without modifying the Terms and
Conditions.
- It is the User’s responsibility to ensure
that they are permitted to park in the restricted parking zone of the city

Points” Refers to Guppy-exclusive parking spaces where Users
can park vehicles to start or end the Service. Certain vehicles may only be
returned to these designated spots, which will be indicated in the Application
when renting that specific vehicle.

on these Terms and Conditions and other Policies governing the service, which
are always available on the website www.guppy.es.

2.
DEFINITIONS AND OTHER RELEVANT MATTERS
Through its original
application, created by the company for iOS and Android systems, GUPPY MOVILIDAD SOSTENIBLE, S.L. (hereinafter, “Guppy”; see legal notice), offers its users a “vehicle
rental by the kilometer without a habitual driver” service within the service
area defined by Guppy. This service is subject to the availability of vehicles
in Guppy’s fleet and is intended to enhance the User experience in the field of
sustainable mobility, based on the applicable legislation related to each mode
of commercial operation outlined in these Terms and Conditions. Hereinafter,
the User and Guppy may be referred to individually as a “Party” or
collectively as the “Parties”.
By using the
Application and/or the Service, Users agree to comply with and be bound by the
following Terms and Conditions. Use of the Service, by creating a Profile and
an account, establishes User status and constitutes full acceptance of
all regulations and policies published on www.guppy.es , including these Terms and
Conditions, the Pricing Policy, the Privacy Policy, the end-user license for
the Application, as well as any applicable and current regulations governing
the Service.
Users should be aware
that these Terms and Conditions govern the general
conditions for providing the Service and that, upon entering into
each new Rental Agreement with Guppy (i.e., each time they interact with the
“Start Rental” button with a new vehicle), these Terms and
Conditions will be supplemented by the specific terms and conditions applicable
to each of the Vehicles (displayed on the application screen before initiating the
rental); additionally, they will include vehicle motor insurance rules, the
Pricing Policy, and, as applicable, other terms that correspond to the selected
rental mode.
Guppy expressly
reserves the right to reasonably modify the Terms and Conditions as well as the
Pricing Policy. Modifications to the Terms and Conditions will be sent to Users
via email and will also be made available through announcements and postings on
the Website or the Application whenever the legal relationship between Guppy
and the User is altered. Express acceptance of these Terms and Conditions will be
required to use the Service.
The Terms and
Conditions apply to the entire legal relationship between Guppy and Users
related to the Service. Specifically, the Service is structured mainly around
two elements: (i) User Registration—which includes validating the necessary
documentation for Users to operate Vehicles; and (ii) The contractual
relationship a User establishes with each Vehicle, based on their needs.
The prices and rates
associated with the Service will be those in effect at any given time, as
indicated in the Application and on the Website when each Rental Agreement is
entered into by the Parties, in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, the
Pricing Policy, and the information displayed to the User on the Application
screen. The estimated cost per journey and/or per kilometer will be displayed
in the Application at all times, regardless of the billing system governing the
offered Service.
Whenever the User
interacts with the Application and selects the “Start Rental” button, they will
enter into a new Rental Agreement for the specific rental and vehicle, based on
these Terms and Conditions and the other Policies governing the service, which
are always available on the website www.guppy.es The contract is a distance contract, and as
such, it incorporates the features of remote contracting as provided under our
Legal System.
RIGHT
OF ADMISSION
Guppy reserves the
full right and discretion to deny a User’s registration or to disable their
account if there is any reason to believe, in its judgment, that the User’s
conduct does not support or is not intended to fully comply with the
contractual relationships necessary to use the Service. Specifically, Guppy
reserves the right of admission in the following cases: (i) when
individuals wishing to use the service do not meet the minimum age requirement
for holding a driver’s license; (ii) when individuals wishing to use the
service lack the necessary and required documents to access the service; (iii)
if individuals have displayed or are displaying behavior or an attitude that
disrupts the normal operation of the service; (iv) when individuals wishing to
register as users, or Guppy users, display violent or aggressive behavior or
behavior inciting violence, xenophobia, or any type of confrontation or
altercation, whether with other users or our staff; (v) when users endanger or
disturb other road users with their behavior while using one of our vehicles;
or (vi) if any of our users consumes or has consumed alcohol and/or drugs while
using one of our vehicles.
3.
USER PROFILE AND ACCESS
LEVELS WITHIN THE APPLICATION
Downloading the
Application alone does not constitute the formation of any lease agreement. The
contractual engagement levels associated with the Application’s use and guppy’s
Service are outlined as follows:
First Level – App Download: Simply downloading the app allows Users limited
navigation without creating a User account. Specifically, and without
limitation, they may: (i) browse and interact with the app, (ii) access the
geolocation of Vehicles, (iii) make certain adjustments, (iv) view the Vehicle
fleet, and (v) view the guppy Zone, guppy Points, and recharge Points. The
functionalities available to Users without a User account in the Application
are minimal and may be altered by guppy, through additions or deletions,
without requiring express consent.
Second Level – Creation of a User Account: By creating a User account, Users
acknowledge, accept, and consent to providing guppy with the following personal
data: name, surname, ID/Passport number, driver’s license, email address,
postal address, mobile phone number, and details of a personal credit or debit
card for payment. Additionally, during the registration process, Users are
required to submit biometric data for identification purposes (e.g., a video
selfie for contrast) and upload photographs of valid documents (driver’s
license and ID/Passport), both front and back, as necessary for driving within
the service area per applicable motor vehicle regulations. Completion of a User
Profile signifies express acceptance of the Terms and Conditions, confirmed
through interaction within the app, enabling access to the service.
Third Level – Confirmation of Registration by guppy: To
enter into a Lease Agreement, the User must successfully complete the
registration process and obtain express confirmation from guppy, thereby
securing a personal and non-transferable User Profile within the Application. Whenever the User
selects the “Start Rental” button in the app, they enter into a new
Lease Agreement for that specific rental and vehicle, agreeing to the specific
terms applicable to that rental and vehicle. Through the Application, Users may
also reserve a Vehicle exclusively after selecting the corresponding
“Reserve” button.
To enter into a Lease
Agreement and use the vehicles, the User must:
1. Complete the registration process by
submitting the required personal and biometric data, which guppy must validate
through express confirmation. The User guarantees that the payment card linked
to their User Profile will allow guppy to charge fees incurred from Service
use. If the payment card linked to the User Profile cannot process the
applicable charges, the User will cover any costs associated with the failed
payment management, as well as an interest charge set forth in the Pricing
Policy.
2. If applicable, obtain authorization from a
company account (hereinafter, “Corporate Account“)
to enter into a Lease Agreement or other contractual relationship, enabling
Service use under the Corporate Account after correctly linking their User
Profile to it. The linking of the User Profile to the Corporate Account is
governed by these Terms and Conditions and any specific agreements negotiated
on a case-by-case basis between guppy and the Corporate Account.
If a Corporate Account expressly authorizes a User to
use the Service, the Corporate Account will assume
responsibility for any liabilities arising from Service use, being
secondarily liable if the User has not assumed responsibility within six months
of a request, in accordance with the Terms and Conditions and Pricing Policy,
regardless of any case-specific agreements.
An authorized User under a Corporate Account who
utilizes the Service in this manner acknowledges that: (i) they accept the
Terms and Conditions and all other service policies and are bound to comply
with them; and (ii) they expressly consent to the transfer of all information
related to Service usage to the Corporate Account.
3. Concerning the processing of user data for
the Access Service for shared fleet vehicles with the City Council of Gijón and
its Autonomous Bodies, a specific corporate extranet exists for this purpose.
Consequently, the City Council of Gijón and its Autonomous Bodies are
responsible for managing user registrations and deactivations, not guppy or its
data processors. In the case of application use by City Council personnel for
official functions, conditions in the administrative contract will apply, along
with specifications on user registration, deactivation, and data processing per
the Privacy Policy.
Except for cases
involving the Corporate Account and the User, any User is strictly
prohibited from allowing unauthorized third parties to operate Vehicles rented
from their User account and Profile. Specifically, it is not
allowed, even in the context of Corporate Accounts, to disclose User Profile
login credentials (username or password) to third parties, even if those
third parties are Users of the Application and Service. ONLY THE USER INITIATING THE RENTAL FROM THEIR PROFILE MAY DRIVE THE
VEHICLE.
4.
USER PROFILE REGISTRATION
AND VERIFICATION PROCEDURE
The User’s
registration process includes submitting the required identification
documentation for guppy to verify eligibility under applicable law to operate
the Vehicles. If the verification process is satisfactory, access to a User
Profile will be granted, enabling the User to enter into Lease Agreements and
operate the Vehicles.
Moreover, Users must
be aware that Vehicle use is only permitted if:
i. The User is over 18
years old and possesses a valid driver’s license for cars in accordance with
current Spanish regulations.
If the User is a
foreign national, they must provide either a valid NIE/Passport or valid
residence card and specify the duration of legal residence in Spain. They must
also meet the requirements established by the DGT, which can be consulted here
and here. guppy reserves the right to request a valid international driver’s
permit or, in some cases, deny access to Users unable to meet these
requirements.
ii. They carry the
original documents required for driving the Vehicles at all times.
iii. They can
demonstrate, throughout the Lease term, that the Application has been used to
reserve and operate the Vehicles.
iv. They maintain an
active User Profile in the Application.
The validation of
User identification data provided during the registration process will
determine the User’s eligibility for Service access. Submission of these documents is essential for
initiating the Application’s technological processes, which allow guppy to
review necessary documentation for entering into the Lease Agreement per these
Terms and Conditions.
Users are hereby
advised that any attempt to falsify the required documentation constitutes a
breach of the Terms and Conditions and may also constitute an offense
punishable under
Organic Law 10/1995 of November 23, the Spanish Penal Code.
REGISTRATION
PROCEDURE
The User is subject to
an identity validation and verification procedure, which may include a video
selfie or photographs that clearly capture facial features with sufficient
resolution for guppy’s verification, as well as front and back images of the valid
documents authorizing them to operate the Vehicles under applicable law and
these Terms and Conditions. Upon completing the identity verification
procedure, the User will press the “Next” button in the application
under the “User Registration” section.
Pressing the
Application button as described above initiates the identity verification
process.
Upon receiving
express confirmation from guppy, the
User may use their User Profile and the Application indefinitely, provided the
driver’s license and payment card remain valid to enable Lease
Agreements. However, guppy reserves the right to request that any User appear
at its offices for identity and driving eligibility verification. Failure to
comply may result in the User Profile being disabled until the requirement is
met. If the required driving documentation becomes invalid
or expired, guppy may, at its sole discretion, permanently disable the User
Profile, terminating all active contractual relationships with the User.
Should the User lose or have their driving license suspended, or if driving
in Spain is prohibited for any reason, all rights to operate the Vehicles under
these Terms and Conditions shall immediately cease. Users must promptly
inform guppy of any suspension, limitation, or prohibition affecting their
driving rights, or any temporary license withdrawal or retention if they intend
to continue using the Service.
During the
registration process, Users must create a Password for Profile access. Users must safeguard their account, password, and smartphone, which
are considered personal and non-transferable, against any
third-party access. Users must inform guppy immediately and change their
Password if it has been disclosed to a third party. Users are advised to
generate a strong Password, including letters, numbers, and symbols, unrelated
to dates, names, or events associated with the User. The User shall be
liable for any damages caused by password or smartphone loss, especially if it
leads to vehicle theft, damage, or misuse.
The registration
process and personal data requirements include special considerations for
specific cases, such as usage by City Council of Gijón personnel in official
capacities, as well as other contracts with public authorities, autonomous
bodies, or other public entities, under the terms of the relevant
administrative contract. Additionally, Users affiliated with a company are
governed by the contract between that company and guppy.
5.
GUPPY APPLICATION OR APP
The application is the
only available means to use the services provided by guppy. Therefore, it is an essential requirement that the User possesses a smartphone
compatible with the technical specifications of the Application.
Guppy does not guarantee compatibility of the Application with all smartphones
available in the market. Any mobile data transmission costs from mobile or
internet service providers that enable User interaction with the Application
will be exclusively borne by the User.
Any conduct intended
to copy, transform, manipulate, or use the Application, without adhering to the
Terms and Conditions, through any technology or any breach by a User, will
result in the immediate cancellation of their User Profile and permanent removal
as a User, with any costs and potential indemnities arising from this violation
being charged to them as stipulated in this section.
6.
VEHICLE RESERVATION AND
LEASE AGREEMENT. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
RESERVATION
Only Users with an
active User Profile who have successfully completed
the verification and approval process are eligible to enter into a
Lease Agreement. Only those Vehicles not previously reserved by another User
and marked as available in the Application may be reserved for use by a User.
Exclusively
reserving a vehicle does not entail the execution of any Lease Agreement. The period during which a Vehicle can be
reserved prior to the commencement of rental may be extended or shortened by
guppy depending on the specific vehicle, so it is necessary to verify in the
application the effective reservation time available for each vehicle before
making a reservation. Guppy reserves the right to reject any Reservation if the
selected Vehicle is unavailable. Guppy acknowledges that, due to the inherent
inaccuracies in the GPS positioning technology used by the Vehicles, the
location shown to the User via the Application may differ from the actual
location; guppy accepts no liability in such cases.
By reserving a Vehicle
through interaction with the “Reserve” button in the Application, the User explicitly agrees to be bound by both the Terms and
Conditions and the Price Policy applicable to Vehicle Rental in
effect at the time of reservation.
EXECUTION
OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT
Each rental begins when the User interacts with the “Start
Rental” button and confirms their intention to start the rental on the
subsequent screen by selecting “Yes, I want to rent the vehicle” in
the Application (a mere Reservation, without confirming the rental start, does
not imply execution of the agreement). The message “Rental started
successfully” will then appear at the top of the screen, and the user will
be prompted to report any existing damage to the vehicle. At this point, even
if the vehicle has not been accessed or is not in close proximity, the rental
is considered started, and the Price Policy regarding standby charges will
apply if the vehicle is not in use by the user.
The rental ends when the User interacts with the “End
Rental” button and confirms their intention to end the rental on the
following screen by selecting “Yes” in response to “Are you sure
you want to end the rental?” via the Application. Exceptions to ending the
rental in this manner include the following cases: (i) the vehicle is not
within the guppy zone, (ii) the vehicle is unlocked or running, (iii) the
vehicle belongs to a group that can only be returned at guppy Points, and (iv)
other cases announced in the Application prior to starting the rental.
The Lease Agreement is
deemed expressly accepted by the User in two scenarios: (i) in case of a
Reservation, by interacting with the “Start Rental” button via the
Application, or (ii) in case of rental without Reservation, by interacting with
the “Start Rental” button and confirming the intention to rent on the
subsequent screen by selecting “Yes, I want to rent the vehicle” in
the Application. To unlock and operate the vehicle, the User must interact with
the “Unlock” button in the Application, which will then unlock the
vehicle.
Before starting the
vehicle for actual use, the User is expressly required to: (i) Inspect for
defects, damage, or significant dirt affecting the vehicle’s exterior or
interior; and (ii) Notify guppy of such conditions either through the
Application, following the available in-app system, or by phone through the
customer service line available at that time. In cases of severe
damage, the User must contact guppy by phone to report the condition of the
vehicle.
The User acknowledges
that, to enable guppy to assign responsibility to the party causing the
reported damage, any such issues must be reported before
starting the vehicle. The User expressly agrees to provide complete
information regarding the Vehicles as available to them. If guppy deems that
use of any Vehicle may be compromised, it reserves the right to prohibit use by
any User, without entitlement to compensation or indemnification.
The Lease
Agreement period begins with
its execution by the User and ends when the User completes the rental as
described, or when guppy unilaterally terminates the Agreement at its
discretion.
Furthermore, guppy may
prohibit any use of the Service and Vehicles by Users if it believes any User is in violation of any provision within the Terms and Conditions.
Any Lease
Agreement extending beyond one day may be unilaterally terminated by guppy if
irregularities are observed during its duration. In the event of a payment
default for an ongoing rental exceeding 24 hours, guppy reserves the right to
unilaterally terminate the rental. If a
User wishes to enter into a Lease Agreement with a longer-than-usual duration,
they may contact guppy through the channels indicated in the Terms and
Conditions or on the Website to discuss the conditions for such an arrangement.
Guppy may replace any Vehicle with another Vehicle at any time, in coordination
with the User, if a Lease Agreement is active.
RIGHT
OF WITHDRAWAL INFORMATION
As a general rule,
consumers and users have the right to withdraw from a contract within a period
of 14 calendar days. However, under current regulations, the right of
withdrawal does not apply to Lease Agreements in guppy’s business activity once the service has been fully performed, which is considered to have
occurred upon initiation of the rental, as the company has fully fulfilled its
obligation by making a vehicle available for the user’s exclusive use, allowing
immediate travel within the Service Zone. If the user starts the rental as
described above and does not move the vehicle, standby time will begin to
accrue, generating corresponding charges per the Price Policy, which are
non-refundable for the reasons stated.
With acceptance
of these Terms and Conditions, the consumer expressly consents and acknowledges
that, once guppy has fully executed the contract, their right of withdrawal is
forfeited.
Consumers retain the
right to withdraw, as provided in Article 102 et seq. of the Consumer
Protection Law, with respect to guppy credits or balance purchased to
use guppy vehicles. The period for exercising the right of
withdrawal is fourteen calendar days from the date of purchasing said credit.
The purchase of credit extends the expiration date of the guppy balance by one
year. Exercising the right of withdrawal for such credit entails renunciation
of all legal effects tied to the credit’s purchase, including the
extension of the balance expiration. Thus, exercising the right of withdrawal
with respect to the purchase of credit also voids the extension of the balance
expiration.
Before the withdrawal
period expires, the consumer and user will notify guppy of their decision to
withdraw from the credit purchase using the following form:
To the attention of GUPPY MOVILIDAD SOSTENIBLE, S.L., with registered office
at Calle Gregorio Marañón Nº 1, Bajo II, CP 33.203, Gijón (Asturias, Spain),
with tax ID number B-67951731, and email address legal@guppy.es : I hereby inform you that I am withdrawing from my
purchase contract for credit ________________ (indicate the credit purchased
and for which you wish to withdraw), dated __ of ______ of __. |
|
Name and surname: |

This form must be
sent, in a timely manner, to the following email address: legal@guppy.es or to C/ Gregorio Marañón Nº 1 Bajo
II, CP 33.203, Gijón (Asturias, Spain). A receipt acknowledgment in durable
format will be sent to you from this address, and a response will be provided
within a maximum period of 10 business days.
7.
DISCLAIMERS
The Application
offered by Guppy to Users is subject to current technological standards, as
well as the limitations and inaccuracies inherent in the technological tools
required for the normal provision of Services. It is not possible to clearly
define what constitutes the normal development of Services, as the effective
provision of Services by Guppy to Users is, at all times, subject to
limitations and inaccuracies beyond Guppy’s control, which are instead under
the control of third parties (such as the availability of services related to
mobile data provided by mobile network operators, the mobile network itself,
positioning and geolocation services, internet access, Bluetooth services on
the User’s device, adverse weather conditions affecting networks, topographical
obstacles, network overloads, etc.).
Furthermore, the
technological means used by Guppy to verify and validate the identity of Users
during the registration and sign-up process are in line with current
technological standards. However, it is impossible to guarantee their
effectiveness in all circumstances.
In addition, Users
must take into account the potential interruptions in the provision of Services
offered by Guppy due to force majeure events (such as strikes, lockouts, etc.),
for which no liability may be assigned to Guppy for such interruptions in Services.
Notwithstanding the
above, the Services offered by Guppy to Users may become temporarily
unavailable due to repairs, maintenance, updates, or mere implementation of
improvements in the Application’s physical or digital equipment or Vehicles,
which are necessary to ensure appropriate and continuous improvement in the
provision of these Services.
Guppy expressly
informs Users that no service level agreement or specific guarantee related to
the operation of the Application or Services is assured.
8.
PRICES
The User shall pay the
prices, fees, and costs in effect for the Service, which can be viewed at any
time prior to entering into a specific vehicle rental in the Guppy app.
Users are reminded that the prices, fees, and costs associated with the Service
are subject to unilateral changes by Guppy and will always be available on the
website and in the app before each rental begins (Specific Pricing Policy for
each vehicle).
The prices, fees,
and costs of the Service shall be those applicable to each effective
subscription of a rental contract with a user. These prices, fees, and costs may vary depending on
the circumstances of service provision and can be observed on the app display
before initiating the rental contract.
Prior to the
effective subscription of the Rental Contract, the Application will display the per-kilometer rate
applicable to that specific contractual relationship, within the various
modalities included in the Services. Guppy ensures that Users will be aware,
without the need for any additional action, of all prices, costs, and fees that
will be applied at any time prior to the subscription of the contract. Prices are final and include legally applicable VAT. If a User
initiates a rental after viewing the prices on the screen, they are expressly
accepting the prices shown to them and the other specific conditions of the
given vehicle. Payment by Users will be made automatically at the
end of each contractual relationship, using the payment method that Guppy deems
applicable at the time.
If any of the Vehicles
fails during the provision of Services due to reasons not attributable to the
User, or the vehicle is not suitable for driving despite having received
express confirmation from Guppy, no charge will be made to the
User.
Guppy may grant
compensation within the Application to any Users who suffer harm not caused by
themselves or resulting from their conduct, which may consist of Guppy balance
or other specific compensation, provided it is announced to Users by Guppy.
Such compensations may not be transferred to another User or third party.
Payments made by a
Corporate Account will be specifically negotiated with that account, under the
relevant specific conditions governing the contractual relationship between
Guppy and such Corporate Account. Payments for Corporate Accounts will be made
via credit/debit card or SEPA (direct debit) after receiving the corresponding
invoice, in accordance with individually negotiated terms.
Guppy may structure
collections and payments so that Users can enjoy the Services through the
system it decides at any time, at its sole discretion, through the
implementation of a system of vouchers, tokens, or proprietary virtual credit,
based on the User’s advance payment for subsequent use, according to the
subscription of a rental contract.
By accepting
these Terms and Conditions, the User expressly agrees that, in the event of an
incident, Guppy may apply the corresponding surcharges as outlined in the
Pricing Policy, in the cases and circumstances outlined therein.
The User
expressly authorizes Guppy to collect amounts and damages, including costs and
compensations that the User must pay by virtue of the legal relationships that
they maintain or have maintained with Guppy, by direct charge to the specific
User Profile’s linked payment card (credit or debit).
In the event of use by
personnel from the Gijón City Council in the course of their duties, as well as
for other contracts with different Public Administrations, the conditions set
forth in the relevant administrative contract shall apply.
PREAUTHORIZATION
OF CHARGE ON CARD OR DEPOSIT
Guppy reserves the
right to require a deposit as a condition
for the rental and use of certain vehicles, to prevent potential damages to
them, as well as to safeguard against potential non-payment by a user (this
means that this deposit may be used to offset any debts of the user resulting
from such rental). This deposit will consist of a card
preauthorization (funds
hold), with a variable amount depending on the circumstances of the specific
vehicle, which will be reflected in the app, at any time and prior to the
rental subscription, so it will always be known to the user before using the
vehicle in question. In some mobile models, it appears on the application
display once the vehicle has been selected, immediately after the specific
prices applied to that vehicle, requiring the sidebar to be scrolled down.
This charge
preauthorization or funds hold will be maintained by Guppy for seven days,
and its particular conditions are as follows:
·
Considering
the 7-day duration of this preauthorization or deposit, if a user rents another
vehicle requiring a deposit within that period, Guppy will verify that the user
has an active preauthorization and: (i) If there are more than 5 days left
until the expiration of the first preauthorization or deposit, Guppy will not
issue a new preauthorization. (ii) If there are fewer than 5 days left until
the expiration of the first preauthorization, Guppy reserves the right to
cancel the first preauthorization and issue a new one with a new 7-day period.
·
The
user will never have more than one preauthorization charge on their card for
this purpose.
·
If the
user has rented more than one vehicle requiring a preauthorization or deposit,
only the preauthorization or deposit of the highest amount will apply.
If the user lacks
sufficient funds to carry out this preauthorization charge or funds hold, they
will not be able to initiate the rental with that vehicle linked to this
deposit amount.
Guppy is not
responsible if certain banks take longer to return the held amount after the
7-day period has expired.
Guppy will provide proof of the refund, and the user must contact their bank to
verify the reasons for the bank’s delay in processing the refund.
The return of the
deposit does not preclude the company from making future charges or claims
arising from the rental in question and which are discovered after the deposit
return, in accordance with the Pricing Policy.

party to the legal relationship with Users and must fulfill all obligations
included in the Terms and Conditions. guppy will provide the necessary data to
facilitate the credit assignment to the assignee without any inconvenience, and
the assignee may not process this data for any other purpose.

airports).
Any breach by the
User of the obligations listed in this section of the Terms and Conditions
constitutes a contract violation and will authorize guppy to impose
corresponding surcharges for such violations (available in the current Pricing
Policy on the website).
11.
STOPPING, PARKING AND ENDING
THE RENTAL
As a general rule,
users may stop, park, and end their rental anywhere within the Guppy Zone, as
well as at designated Guppy Points located throughout the Service Area. However,
within the zone marked on the app as the Guppy Zone, certain areas—such as
sidewalks, parks, or beaches—may appear on the map but are prohibited for
stopping, parking, or ending the rental per basic traffic rules. Similarly,
private parking areas cannot be removed from the displayed map but are also
off-limits for these purposes unless Guppy expressly communicates otherwise in
advance.
It is the user’s
responsibility to
ensure they can stop and/or park without restrictions in limited parking areas
of the city where they wish to park a Guppy vehicle. Guppy is not liable if a
user stops/parks in a limited parking area that requires a ticket but fails to
obtain one and receives a fine as a result.
Guppy reserves the
right to impose spatial restrictions on specific vehicles in
its fleet, limiting users who rent these particular vehicles to
stopping, parking, and/or ending the rental only at designated Guppy Points. In
such cases, the app will specify which vehicles are subject to this
restriction, and it will also be noted on the vehicle and the company’s
website. Users are responsible for verifying if their vehicle has spatial
limitations for stopping, parking, or ending the rental, which can be easily
checked in the app.
Stopping,
parking, and/or ending the rental in loading/unloading zones, areas with curb
restrictions, or any locations explicitly prohibiting vehicle parking (whether
the restriction is temporary or permanent) is strictly prohibited.
To successfully end
the Rental Agreement, the user must:
·
Park
the vehicle within the Guppy Zone or at exclusive parking spots at Guppy Points
(provided the vehicle does not have spatial limitations). Any violation of
traffic rules or Guppy-imposed prohibitions will be the user’s responsibility.
·
If the
vehicle has a spatial restriction, the user may only end the rental
at designated Guppy Points or locations indicated in the app as eligible for
ending the rental.
·
Not
end the rental on private property or in third-party locations not affiliated
with Guppy. This includes public parking lots, shopping centers, supermarkets,
restaurants, universities, and similar institutions, unless Guppy has expressly permitted parking there.
·
If
using the electric charging cable located in the vehicle’s trunk, it must be left in its original condition unless the rental is
ending and the vehicle remains connected to a charging station.
·
End
the rental with at least 50 km of driving range remaining.
In all cases, it is
essential that users park the vehicle in a location where telematic
connection can be established. If no connection is possible, users
must move the vehicle to a location with connection to end the rental. Example:
in some parking structures, vehicles can only connect on the ground or first
basement levels, losing connection on deeper levels.
Once the user confirms
the end of the rental, and after the vehicle’s
centralized locking system is activated and the app confirms rental
termination, the Rental Agreement will be successfully concluded. The user must
ensure the process is completed. If the user abandons the vehicle before
completion, the rental contract remains active, and any resulting charges will
be the user’s responsibility.
If rental termination
is technically impossible, the user must contact Guppy immediately and remain
with the vehicle until Guppy provides instructions. Any extra costs due to
waiting time will be credited to the user’s Guppy balance for future rentals if
the user was compliant with the Terms and Conditions.
In case of accidents
or incidents that make the vehicle unusable, the rental will end once the
vehicle is handed over to a third party designated by Guppy for towing.
Activating the
vehicle’s standby mode (vehicle
parked without rental termination, triggering a special rate as per the Pricing
Policy) does not constitute the end of the individual car
rental contract.
REMOTE RENTAL TERMINATION BY GUPPY
Guppy may remotely
terminate a user’s rental in certain situations:
·
Upon
express request by the user via a phone call. The vehicle must be in the Guppy Zone or at a Guppy
Point. No additional charge applies for remote rental termination upon user
request. Examples:
o
The
user’s phone battery has died.
o
The
user is unable to terminate the rental through the app.
o
The
user has lost their phone’s internet connection.
·
If
there is a technical issue with the service. Guppy will review the specific circumstances to
determine how to proceed.
·
In
cases of payment delinquency after rentals exceeding 24 hours. Guppy will contact the user by phone
and/or email, giving the user a 24-hour deadline to settle outstanding charges.
After this period, if the debt is not resolved, Guppy reserves the right to
terminate the rental remotely and restrict vehicle access, requiring the user
to have removed personal items from the vehicle.
·
For
prolonged rentals without kilometers traveled, with the vehicle remaining in
standby mode. Guppy will assess
the situation on a case-by-case basis, starting with contacting the user for
clarification.
·
When
an incident involving law enforcement prevents the user from ending the rental. Guppy will assess each case to determine
the best course of action. If law enforcement is involved, applicable
surcharges as per the Pricing Policy will apply. Examples:
o
After
a positive breathalyzer test, the vehicle may be impounded or retrieved by
Guppy’s fleet members.
o
Following
an accident where the vehicle requires towing or retrieval by Guppy’s fleet
members.
LOST ITEMS
If lost items are found in a Guppy vehicle following remote rental termination:
·
Guppy
will first attempt to contact the customer by phone and/or email, notifying
them of observed items inside the vehicle and offering them an immediate
opportunity to retrieve them at no charge.
·
If the
user cannot retrieve their belongings immediately, the vehicle will be
immobilized for up to five hours, with a surcharge per the Pricing Policy, to
allow the user to collect their items within this timeframe.
·
If
the user does not respond to calls or emails or fails to retrieve their items
within five hours, Guppy staff will go
to the vehicle’s location, recording a video documenting the vehicle’s license
plate, user details, and an inspection of the vehicle’s interior. After
completing the video, a Guppy member will access the vehicle to collect any
items found in places suitable for personal belongings (e.g., glove box, doors,
seats, trunk).
Lost items will be
stored at the logistics base within the Service Area where they were found. If the user does not collect their items within five days after
contact, the items will be sent to the local police Lost and Found,
with prior email notification to the user.
12.
ACCIDENTS, DAMAGES, REPAIRS;
VIOLATIONS AND PENALTIES, CLAIMS; ADMISSION RIGHTS
ACCIDENTS, DAMAGES, AND REPAIRS
The User has the
strict obligation to immediately inform Guppy of any accident, damage, or
defect suffered by the Vehicles during circulation or detected at the beginning
of the Lease.
The User must ensure
that any incident during circulation involving a Vehicle is communicated and
duly recorded by the competent State Security Forces and Bodies in each case. If
they refuse to register the incident details:
·
The
User will immediately contact Guppy by phone and explain
the situation; and
·
Request
instructions from Guppy on how to proceed and comply with them under all
circumstances.
The User may only
leave the site of the incident if:
·
The
report or data registration by the State Security Forces and Bodies has been
completed, and they have received express instructions from Guppy after
notifying the incident;
·
The
Vehicle has been handed over to a company designated by Guppy for its safe
transport, in coordination with the User, or the User has retrieved it, always
with Guppy’s express consent.
Regardless of the
above, in the event of an incident involving any of the Vehicles, Guppy may
provide a form to the User, after the incident communication, to be completed
within a maximum period of seven (7) calendar days after its effective
dispatch. If Guppy does not receive the written report within the specified
time frame, the Vehicle’s insurance will not settle the claim. Therefore, if Guppy is required to assume and repair the damages
suffered by the Vehicles due to the incident, it may charge the User the cost
of the actual repair if the conduct outlined in this section is not observed.
Guppy has the right to
receive any compensation paid or resulting from any incident involving a
Vehicle concerning the damages suffered by it. If the User receives
the monetary amount, they must immediately transfer it to Guppy without being
required to do so.
At Guppy’s direct
request and without prejudice to the technological systems incorporated into
the Vehicles, the User must indicate the exact location of the Vehicle at any
time and allow its physical inspection by Guppy employees or third parties
expressly authorized by Guppy.
The insurance
company may seek reimbursement from the User if they are responsible for an
accident, either intentionally or through negligence, and the insurance company
has paid the amount corresponding to the specific incident.
OFFENSES
AND SANCTIONS, CLAIMS, USER RESPONSIBILITY
Failure to comply
with any of the obligations outlined in the Terms and Conditions constitutes a
breach of contract and will entitle Guppy to impose the corresponding
surcharges resulting from such non-compliance (which are always available in
the current Pricing Policy on the website).
The User will be
responsible to Guppy for any damage caused by or to the Vehicles due to fault. This includes, but is not limited to:
(i) Violations of all types of rules; (ii) Theft, damage, or loss of the
Vehicles, or any of their components or accessories.
The User assumes
full responsibility if the damage or loss of the Vehicles, or damages caused to
third parties, result from non-compliance with the Terms and Conditions or the clauses included in the vehicle
insurance policy or applicable regulations, or even if the
damage is caused by a third party whom the User allows to drive the Vehicle,
without Guppy’s authorization. In the event the User is responsible for the
incident and there is no coverage under the vehicle insurance, the User will
indemnify Guppy for the damages caused and any third-party claims for any
concept that may be included in this section.
In the event of
an incident caused by the User, if responsibility can be attributed to them, the indemnity obligation to Guppy
extends to all indirect damages, including but not limited to expert fees,
required tow truck service, lost profits proportional to the damaged
Vehicle(s), increased premiums paid by Guppy to its insurance company, or any
additional administrative costs.
The User will be
financially responsible for all offenses, fines, and crimes committed with the
Vehicles. The User will bear all costs, expressly releasing and holding Guppy
harmless from any third-party claims arising from these concepts.
If the User causes an
incident that damages the Vehicles outside the Service Area, they will be
responsible for all costs incurred for transporting the Vehicle to Guppy’s
logistics base for repair.
If the User breaches
the Terms and Conditions and Guppy deems it necessary to
relocate the Vehicle, or if a third party associated with Guppy hires a tow truck or roadside express/quick charging service,
the User will bear the cost of the service and any additional costs, in
accordance with the Terms and Conditions and the Pricing Policy.
The User will pay
a specific financial penalty, not substituting any indemnity for damages or
other penalties outlined in the Terms and Conditions, if they allow a third
party, after entering into an Individual Driverless Lease Contract, to drive
the Vehicle without Guppy’s authorization. The same applies if identity fraud
occurs, where a User uses
another account to access Guppy’s service without the company’s express
consent.
In the event of a
substantial and culpable contractual breach, including any non-payment, Guppy
may disable the User from the app, unilaterally terminating all contracts they
have entered into.
In the case of use by
Gijón City Council staff in the exercise of their duties, as well as for other
tenders with different Public Administrations, Autonomous Bodies, or any other
public law entities, the conditions set forth in the relevant administrative
contract will apply.
If a User disagrees
with any surcharge imposed by Guppy, they must respond to the communication
sent by the company or, alternatively, contact legal@guppy.es to file the corresponding claim.
13.
INSURANCE TERMS
The Vehicles are
covered by mandatory civil liability insurance, which includes third-party coverage. Only a user authorized by guppy to use the
services and who has signed a lease agreement can benefit from the insurance
coverage.
In the event that the
Vehicles are damaged while being used by the User, and the damage is caused by
an incident initiated by the User, the User will be financially responsible for
the repair costs. The insurance company may pursue
the User if they are found to be at fault for the accident, whether intentional
or negligent, and if the insurance company has covered the costs of the
specific incident.
Unless stated
otherwise, both the mentioned insurance and any liability limitations are
subject to the Insurance Certificate and Terms and Conditions of the policy
subscribed by guppy, as well as to the applicable mandatory regulations under
Law 50/1980 of October 8, on Insurance Contracts, and any related regulations.
If the User
violates mandatory regulations and, as a result, the insurer is exempted from
paying the insurance claim, the insurance coverage described in these Terms and
Conditions will not apply.
No conduct that
violates traffic laws, particularly concerning alcohol or drug use, reckless
driving, or speeding, will be tolerated. Since the insurance covers third-party
damage, if the user demonstrates responsible driving, respects traffic rules,
and considers pedestrians and other road users, this will be taken into account
when assessing any damage caused to the vehicle during normal use, following
the “guppy Philosophy“. However, if
speeding, driving under the influence, or other traffic violations are
detected, or if the User fails to report the incident and damages via phone (as
specified in previous sections), the “guppy Philosophy” will not
apply, and the User will be liable for the damages caused by their conduct.
14.
GUPPY’S LIABILITY
guppy will be
liable for damages caused by its employees, subcontractors, representatives, or
agents due to willful misconduct or gross negligence, as provided by law.
A limitation on
liability applies to grossly negligent conduct and to any responsibility not
covered by the previous section. This limitation is set to the amount of
typical or foreseeable damages that may arise from the Service guppy offers to
Users. It will apply only if guppy fails to fulfill an essential contractual
obligation. If guppy commits a non-essential breach without willful misconduct
or gross negligence, the User has no right to make a claim. This also applies
to third parties operating under guppy’s instructions.
The above limitations of liability will not apply if mandatory regulations
prevent the parties from altering the applicable forum by mutual agreement
under these Terms and Conditions.
15.
USER ACCOUNT BLOCKING AND
DELETION
The license to use the
Application and the provision of related services may be revoked and terminated
by guppy unilaterally if the User:
·
Is a
consumer and fails to pay two overdue amounts, regardless
of the amount;
·
Ceases
to make payments generally;
·
Is a
public entity or merchant acting in the course of their business activities and
fails to make the payments owed (including but not limited to: Corporate
Account);
·
Provides
false information or omits relevant facts at the time of registration and profile
creation, or as a result of an incident in which they were involved;
·
Maintains
a state of contractual breach after
receiving proper notice from guppy;
·
Drives
under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
·
Provides
personal data to third parties concerning the Application (personal identification or password), in violation
of the Terms and Conditions.
If any of these
conditions are met, guppy will immediately block access to the Vehicles upon
receiving the appropriate notification.
If any Lease Agreement
is terminated, guppy may specifically request the User to:
·
Immediately
return any Vehicle the User is currently using. If the User fails to return the Vehicle following
guppy’s instructions, guppy may take possession of it using the necessary and
proportional means, and the User will bear all associated costs and expenses;
·
Pay
the rental fee corresponding to the duration of the Lease until the Vehicle is returned and the
Lease is concluded in accordance with the Terms and Conditions;
·
Compensate
for any damages caused to the Vehicle in accordance with the Terms and
Conditions.
If the User wishes to
delete their User Profile on guppy, they must use the “Delete my
account” button within the “My Profile” section in the app. For
any modifications to personal data or email address, they must contact legal@guppy.es
16.
MISCELLANEOUS
Whenever the User
interacts with the application and selects the “Start rental” button,
they will enter into a new Lease Agreement for the specific rental and vehicle,
based on these Terms and Conditions and the other Policies governing the service,
all of which are always available on the website www.guppy.es.
Any relationship
between the User and guppy will be governed by these Terms and Conditions and
the applicable supplementary Spanish law. Specifically, but not limited to: (i)
The Lease Agreement; (ii) The Pricing Policy; (iii) The Privacy Policy; and (iv)
The End-User License Agreement (EULA), are subject to these Terms and
Conditions and, where not specified, to the applicable supplementary Spanish
common law.
When the User is not
considered a consumer, the exclusive forum for resolving any conflicts that
arise in relation to these Terms and Conditions or the agreements specified
above will be the courts of the city of Gijón, without affecting mandatory
provisions concerning the applicable forum.
The User may only
assign to third parties any right derived from their contractual relationship
with guppy if prior written consent is given by guppy.
The Terms and
Conditions constitute the full set of provisions applicable to the legal
relationship between the Users and guppy, along with applicable supplementary
regulations and any additional specific conditions that may be negotiated case
by case between guppy and third parties (e.g., Corporate Accounts).
If any section of the
Terms and Conditions is declared invalid by a final ruling, regardless of the
cause, it will not affect the validity of the remaining sections.
