Specific obligations of the user
The user of a subscription undertakes, each time he or she uses the service, to:
- Use the service, and especially the bicycle, with the utmost diligence.
- Park the bicycle correctly at a station at the end of the trip, and before the closing time of the service on the same day the trip had started. Exceptionally, if the chosen station is full and there are no free hooks at that time, you will have to leave the bicycle on the side of the station without posing a risk to the integrity and/or safety of the bicycle, laborers and/or or vehicles and obligatorily secure the locking mechanism to end the rental. Additionally, the user must verify the correct completion of the operation.
- Report and duly return the bicycle to the service, if you verify that any of its elements are not working correctly.
- Use the bicycle appropriately and use it only for your personal transportation.
- Assume guard and custody of the bicycle from the moment of its removal and until its correct return to service.
- Deliver the bicycle to supervisors, authorized personnel or authorities, if they, in the exercise of their duties, require it.
- Respect current traffic regulations.
- Make use of the bike lane on the roads where it is established.
- Take responsibility for the proper use of the bicycle, as well as for its loss.
- All users of a subscription are expressly obliged to comply, when using bicycles, with the mobility ordinance of the municipality when it exists. The use of helmets is mandatory for those under 16 years of age in any case, and for those of legal age on interurban roads.
- At the time of registration, the user declares that he or she is in perfect health to ride a bicycle and assumes responsibility in the event of suffering from a disease of the heart, eyesight or hearing, or of the circulatory, locomotor and digestive systems.
- The user is obliged to make good use of the shared use bicycle and is responsible for all damages that may occur due to improper use of it.
- The user is obliged to take precautions against possible damage, loss or theft. Specifically, if the bicycle has an electronic lock or any immobilization system, it must be used whenever the bicycle is parked during a trip. In the case of a parking lot that had been at a station, the bicycle must be left in a place that is not explicitly prohibited in the corresponding municipal ordinance. However, the user will not be exempt from the custody of the bicycle.
Express user prohibitions
The following behaviors are expressly prohibited for subscription users:
- Use the service if you are under 14 years of age.

- Use your cell phone while using the bicycle.

In which case, the bikeArteixo must be informed in the shortest possible time, not exceeding 30 minutes from the event that produced the cause of force majeure.
