VIII. Duration of rental

This may be done through logging into the GRM Terminal by means of Nextbike application or through contacting CK.
2. If placing the bike within the electrolock is impossible (ie. lack of free bike stand at the GRM Station or failure at GRM Station) the Client is obliged to return the bike with the use of code lock, connecting the bike to the stand or another bike within the GRM Station, lock down the code lock, press the “Return” button on the electronic part of GRM Terminal and proceed according to instructions displayed.

XI. Charges
