WHAT IS OYBIKE?

The OYBike System is a street-based rental station network that

allows you to hire and return a bicycle via your mobile phone.
(LONDON)

The OYBike system is based on the availability of rental bicycles at

key locations:

* Tube stations

* Public buildings

* Key transport interchanges

* Car Parks

These bicycles are secured to their bike stands using cables that are
attached to the bicycle and which double as security locking cables
when the bicycles are on hire. Each bike stand is equipped with a
specially developed electronic lock operated through a keyboard
and LCD display. This lock holds the cable secure until that bicycle is
rented out. An OYBike registered user select an available bicycle and
the locks display a code, the user then calls the OYBike call centre
and gives them that code.

A unique pin code is then read out to the user and sent back by text
messaging. This pin code is entered into the lock to release the
bicycle. After use the bicycle is locked into any empty port on an
available OYBike station. A unique pin will appear on the lock display
that must be sent back to OYBike to end the hire period.
To use the OYBike system you will need
to pre-register with an initial usage
credit of £10. Optional theft insurance
is available at additional cost. OYBikes
are free to use for up to 30 minutes a
time! For longer hire times see our Hire
rates.

Corporate customers can negotiate a fixed fee for any number of

staff to use the scheme. Once the scheme is running we can provide
breakdowns of use on a regular basis for accounting and tax
puposes. Please contact us for full details of our prices if your
company is interested in joining the scheme.

The charges are liable to be changed without prior notice. Details of

the new charges will be sent to users via the most appropriate
method.

Payment

OYBike operate a 'pay as you go' scheme. At registration you will be

charged £10 for rental fees. This forms your initial credit balance for
OYbike hires and this balance will be debited for each journey. Once
your balance reaches £3 or below you will be billed at the end of
that month for the any journeys taken bringing your account back to
a £10 credit balance. Billing through this method enables us to keep
our administration charges down to a minimum and keep the costs
to you as low as possible. We do not accept cash payments and all
payments will be taken through the debit/credit card used at signup.

Every month there is activity on your account, you will be emailed a

monthly statement showing your account usage.

Damage waiver

An optional Damage waiver scheme against theft or damage of the

bike whilst it is in your care is available at a cost of £10.00 per
annum. This is not compulsory, however, members without this or
any other insurance cover are potentially liable to pay the full cost
of replacing the hired bike in the event of loss or damage. Please
note that personal injury insurance is not included in the scheme.

Refunds policy

A full refund of the will be given if the member writes to OYBike

within 14 days of the original registration date. No refund will
normally be given after that date except under exceptional
circumstances and is at the discretion of OYBike. Discretional
refunds for hire of bikes will be made where it is shown that the
OYBike or one of its agents has been at fault. As it is the member’s
responsibility to check the bike before use for safety and
roadworthiness a refund will not normally be made for such defects.
In the case of punctures the hirer must call the OYBike call centre.
