Tickets purchased using the app are delivered instantly. Once purchased, your mobile ticket cannot be altered. In the event of an accidental purchase, you should contact Oxford Bus and Thames Travel as soon as reasonably possible. We will review your case and, if we deem it appropriate, we will refund you the cost of your purchase. If your mobile ticket is gifted or activated accidentally, we will not be able to refund this. Your tickets will need to be activated before you can use them and you will need an internet connection for both the purchase and the activation. Once the purchase is complete, you must activate your ticket by the date and time specified on the ticket. Your ticket can be seen under "Mobile tickets" in the sidebar menu. Your mobile ticket must be presented on the screen of your mobile phone clearly to the driver long enough for the driver to observe the date and boarding code, and must be produced if requested by any Oxford Bus and Thames Travel officials at any time. With the exception of tickets purchased as a gift for use by another person as described in section 4.16 below, you must not purchase extra tickets for use by a second person. This will result in the driver refusing travel. Mobile tickets are intended only for the holder of the mobile device to use - multiple tickets cannot be activated on one device and shared. Where tickets for multiple passengers are used, the account holder must travel with the party at all times.
4.3 It is your responsibility to ensure you have a valid mobile ticket and that it is validated. Failure to produce a valid mobile ticket will mean you must pay the appropriate fare in cash or other accepted payment method on boarding. Refunds will not be given where passengers have failed to produce a valid mobile ticket.
4.4 We reserve the right to reject any mobile ticket which we have reason to believe is invalid, out of date, cancelled or on a stolen mobile phone. Your mobile ticket is valid for the period selected at the point of sale, and will be clearly displayed on your mobile. The period of validity will count down once activated.
4.5 Mobile tickets are not transferable to other passengers, unless they have been given as a gift to that passenger in accordance with section 4.16 below. Mobile tickets will transfer to a new device once you log in on the new device. Logging in on a new device will log you out on all other devices.

4.13 If you are using the Oxford Bus and Thames Travel App outside of an area with WiFi you should remember that the terms of agreement with your mobile network provider will still apply. As a result, you may be charged by your mobile provider for the cost of data for the duration of the connection while accessing the app for validation or purchase, or other third party charges.

Your personal details will not be passed to any other parties.
4.15 You also have certain legal rights under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Mobile tickets may be “gifted” to anyone, however to use the “gifted” ticket the recipient must have a registered account on the App. It is only possible to gift unused tickets – for example a multi journey ticket cannot be gifted if one of the journeys has been used. Once a ticket has been gifted, it cannot be re-gifted. This includes tickets that have been added to your account by our agents

10. Events outside our control
10.1 We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under this EULA that is caused by any act or event beyond our reasonable control, including failure of public or private telecommunications networks (Event Outside Our Control).

11. Other important terms
11.1 We may transfer our rights and obligations under this EULA to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under this EULA.

11.3 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under this EULA, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
11.4 Each of the conditions of this EULA operates separately. If any court or competent authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining conditions will remain in full force and effect.
11.5 Please note that this EULA, its subject matter and its formation, are governed by English law. You and we both agree that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction.
