Auto top-up terms and conditions
Data protection
Transport for London (TfL), Transport Trading Limited (TTL) and their agents will only use the information that you have supplied on this form to administer the Recurring Payment Authority that you have authorised, and for customer services and research. We may use this information to contact you in relation to these purposes.
Legal terms
Application of these terms and conditions
Money added to your Oyster card to pay as you go using this recurring payment process is subject to these terms and conditions, together with the Oyster online shop terms and conditions (T&Cs) and TfL's Conditions of carriage. In the event of a conflict between any of these documents, the Auto Top-Up T&Cs will take precedence.
It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with these T&Cs. By clicking the checkbox you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to these. If you do not accept these T&Cs, you must not submit a request through this recurring payment process.
Configuring your Oyster card
Once you have completed the Recurring Payment Authority and paid for money to be added to your Oyster card using your credit or debit card online, an instruction will be sent to the location you have nominated the following day (or in the case of applications lodged after 11pm, two days later). Within eight days of making your purchase you must take your Oyster card to the location nominated for configuration. Configuration occurs when you touch your Oyster card on the yellow reader at your nominated location. Until this is done, this Recurring Payment Authority does not become effective. If you do not configure your Oyster card within the required eight-day period, you will need to submit a new application form.
New Oyster card customers
If you are a new Oyster card customer, your Oyster card with the money you have paid for on it will be sent to you in the post. Your card will be ready for immediate use.
Cancelling, amending and updating
You may cancel, amend or update your Recurring Payment Authority at any time either online or by calling the Oyster helpline on 0343 222 1234. Your cancellation, amendment or update request will not become effective until you have taken your Oyster card to your nominated location for re-configuring, which you must do within eight days of submitting your request. If you do not do so within this period, your request will expire and you will need to submit a further request. Until you update your Oyster card, your existing Recurring Payment Authority will remain in place and TTL will not be liable for any top-up purchased pursuant to your Recurring Payment Authority.
If you apply for, amend or cancel a Recurring Payment Authority before 11pm, your nominated location will be ready to re-configure your Oyster card from the following day. Otherwise, it will be ready two days later.
Failed payments
If your financial institution rejects a payment requested on the basis of your Recurring Payment Authority, an agent of TTL will attempt to contact you. If you do not correct the failed payment within two days TTL reserves the right to cancel your Oyster card which will disable its future use and cancel any Recurring Payment Authority associated with that Oyster card. If that occurs, you will need to arrange a new Oyster card. To get a new Oyster card, please visit any Tube Station ticket office or Oyster ticket stop. Alternatively you can order online at www.tfl.gov.uk/oyster, or contact telephone sales via the Oyster helpline 0343 222 1234.
If you have any further queries regarding failed payments, please call the Oyster helpline.
Lost or stolen Oyster card
If your Oyster card is lost or stolen, you must immediately report it at online or by calling the Oyster helpline on 0343 222 1234. Your Oyster card (including any associated Recurring Payment Authority) will continue to operate as normal until you report it lost or stolen, at which time TTL will stop the Oyster card.
You will need to establish a new Recurring Payment Authority on all new Oyster cards including replacement cards.
Refunds
Any refunds payable to you in relation to any balance on your Oyster card will be governed by TfL's Conditions of carriage.

TTL's liability to you shall not in any circumstance include any business losses that you may incur, including but not limited to lost data, lost profits or business interruption.
Special promotions
TTL reserves the right to make future promotional offers from time to time on such terms as it may in its discretion determine.
