The money has been paid for a service for X days, end of story. But how much service have you paid for? TfL define it as "as much usage as one person can make of the card in one month", and you're defining it as "as much usage as whoever has the card can make in one month". Given the latter is higher than the former, you clearly are getting more service than you've paid for, at least according to the terms. Given that AFAIK its not required to give your name and address if you buy a weekly (not sure about a monthly) , then the implication is its not tied to a single individual, you're simply buying a service that can used by whoever has the card. It may well state in the smallprint somewhere that only a single person can use it but if they can't define that single person thats tough luck. After all, someone may go out and buy a card for someone else in cash - so who is entitled to use it - the person who bought it or the one it was bought for? It actually say it may be not be "transferred", which suggests the act of passing it from one person to another is what's prohibited. Though actually I note the rule doesn't actually prohibit what we're discussing - *"If you have a season ticket on your Oyster card, you cannot transfer it to anyone else to pay as they go." I can't see any wording that says you can't transfer it to someone else to use the season part. btw, Blockbuster say: "You agree to [...] the prohibition on [...] renting or otherwise supplying them to third parties" http://www.blockbuster.co.uk/bbsitec...dconditions/pa... U- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Isn't that Blockbuster protecting themselves though? If people could legally hire a video from Blockbuster and then charge a roomful of people to watch it, Blockbuster would do a lot more business, but they themselves are presumably prohibited from renting out on that basis. You can't easily charge a whole load of people for shared use of your Oyster or travelcard. |
