Terms and Conditions
Thank you for visiting the Parqking. ("Parqking ", "we", "us", or "our") website (the "Site"). Your use of the information, materials, text, images and other content on the Site is subject to the terms and conditions below, which we may revise from time to time without notice. Please read these terms and conditions carefully. BY ACCESSING THE SITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE GENERAL WEBSITE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (THESE "TERMS AND CONDITIONS" OR "AGREEMENT").
PARQKING SERVICES
Unless expressly stated otherwise, the services provided by Parqking (the “Services”) as limited to facilitating Reservations (as defined below), processing Reservations and collecting fees on behalf of Licensors (as defined below). Any fees and/or consideration paid to Parqking is paid to Parqking in connection with these Services unless otherwise indicated.
For clarification, Parqking does not:
- Negotiate terms of licenses or settle disputes between users of the Site;
- Provide a parking service;
- Endorse or advise the use of cell phones or mobile devices while driving;
- Operate a parking lot or other parking facility;
- Otherwise accept custody of motor vehicles; or
- Provide services other than the Services (collectively, "Excluded Services").
The Excluded Services are provided by Licensors who are neither our agents nor acting in our behalf and we have no responsibility whatsoever regarding the safety of persons or property in the Parking Spots or any facility where the Parking Spots are located found through use of the Site. We are not responsible for any consequences arising from the Excluded Services, including, without limitation, consequences arising from not being able to park or delays associated with parking, road closures or changing traffic conditions. Although we do not guarantee the availability of a specific Parking Spot, if a booked Parking Spot is unavailable at your time of reservation, we will attempt to locate an alternative Parking Spot, provide you with a refund and/or otherwise resolve any issues in accordance with our standard customer service policies and procedures.
LICENSORS; LICENSOR TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Parqking lists the Parking Spots on the Site and, as such, facilitates the reservation of Parking Spots ("Reservations") between users of the Site (“Licensees” or “you”), and the independent owners, lessors, managers or operators of the Parking Spots (the "Licensors"). Parqking does not establish the prices for Parking Spots, operate Parking Spots, or determine parking availability provided by Licensors. While Parqking makes every effort to provide accurate information regarding the Parking Spots listed on the Site, at times such information may become inaccurate and Parqking shall not be liable for any such inaccuracy. In all cases, your utilization of a Parking Spot will be governed by Licensor’s customer agreements or policies in place from time to time, including, without limitation, all terms and conditions related to the use of any Parking Spot, any payment terms and conditions and all rules and restrictions imposed by the Licensor on the relevant parking facility and/or Parking Spot, as each may be entered into or effected in accordance with the Licensor’s standard operating procedures (the “Licensor Terms and Conditions”). By making a Reservation, you agree in all cases to abide by the Licensor Terms and Conditions.
In connection with our provision of the Services, Licensors may represent and warrant to us that they have full authority to list the Parking Spots for Reservations. We are not responsible for confirming whether any such representation or warranty is true and correct, nor are we responsible if any such representation or warrant becomes inaccurate or incomplete prior to your use of a Parking Spot. In addition, Parqking will never be responsible for any agreement or other arrangements between you and any Licensor, regardless of whether such agreement or other arrangements are related to your booking and use of a Parking Spot.
PRICING AND ONLINE DISCOUNTS
All parking prices on the Site are set directly by the parking owner, not Parqking.
Parking advertised on the Site as "Online Discount" is guaranteed to be the cheapest parking rate available for that specific time and parking location. Parking rates not advertised as "Online Discount" may differ from the drive-up rates, if available.
USER ACCOUNTS
In order to access certain areas of the Site, you will create a user account and login (a "User Account"). You agree that all information which you provide through the Site in connection with creating your User Account or otherwise is current, accurate and complete. You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs with respect to your User Account. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your User Account and keeping the username and password to your User Account secure. You agree to notify us immediately of any security breach or unauthorized use of your User Account. We will not be liable for any costs, losses, claims or damages that you or any third party incur which are directly or indirectly caused by any unauthorized use of your User Account. You agree to never use another party’s User Account without such party’s express written authorization
USE OF CONTENT
The text, images, data, illustrations, files, audio and video clips, designs, documents and other materials and content (collectively, the "Content") on the Site is our property and may be protected by copyright and other restrictions. Copyrights and other proprietary rights in the Content may also be owned by parties other than us. You may not copy, modify, distribute or otherwise use any of the Content, except for your personal and non-commercial use. Please note that we may withdraw any Content from the Site at any time in our sole discretion.
USER WARRANTY
By downloading, printing, or otherwise using any of the Content, you agree that you will (i) restrict your use of such Content to personal and non-commercial use, (ii) comply with all of these Terms and Conditions, and (iii) not violate our rights or the rights of any other person or entity. We do not warrant that use of any of the Content will not infringe the rights of third parties.
COMMERCIAL USE IS RESTRICTED
Unauthorized commercial publication or exploitation of text, images, documents, materials or any other Content is prohibited without our express written consent. If you wish to use any of the Content for commercial use, publication, or any purpose other than personal use, you must obtain our express written permission prior to such use. We may, in our sole discretion, grant permission for such use on a case-by-case basis and we may charge a usage fee for such use. Without limitation of the foregoing, you agree that you may not sell, convey, license, sublicense, or resell or attempt any of the foregoing.
FEES AND PAYMENTS
You are responsible for all charges, fees, duties, taxes, and assessments arising out of any Reservation, the use of a Parking Spot, the Services or the use of the Site. You agree to pay to Parqking all fees for (including any overage fees) for Parqking’s provision of the Services, in accordance with the pricing and payment terms presented to you for such Services. Where applicable, you will be billed using the billing method you select through your User Account management page. Except as provided in these Terms and Conditions or when required by law, all fees paid by you are non-refundable. Parqking may change the fees for any Services, including any Services billed pursuant to a Subscription (as defined below), at any time.
SUBSCRIPTIONS
In the event that any of the Services are billed on a Subscription basis ("Subscriptions"), you will be billed in advance on a recurring, periodic basis (each period, a "Billing Cycle"). Billing Cycles are typically monthly or annual, depending on what Subscription you select when purchasing a Subscription. Your Subscription will automatically renew at the end of each Billing Cycle unless you contact our customer support team. While we will be sad to see you go, you may cancel auto-renewal on your Subscription at any time, in which case your Subscription will continue until the end of the then-current Billing Cycle before terminating. If Parqking changes the fees for any Services billed pursuant to a Subscription, the change will become effective only at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle. Parqking will provide you with reasonable prior written notice of any change in fees to give you an opportunity to cancel your Subscription before the change becomes effective.
TAXES AND OVERAGE FEES
In connection with facilitating your transaction, Parqking will charge your credit card for the total reservation price, which includes the amount for the Parking Spots, a fee retained by Parqking for providing their services in facilitating the Reservations, and all anticipated applicable taxes. Parqking retains a service fee as compensation for facilitating reservations and for providing Marketing Services. The amounts paid to the independent owners, lessors, managers or operators of the Parking Spots (“Licensors”) in connection with your reservation include all anticipated applicable taxes for the Parking Spots. The Licensors are responsible for remitting applicable taxes to the applicable taxing jurisdictions. Parqking is not a vendor collecting and remitting taxes to the applicable taxing authorities nor a co-vendor associated with the vendor with whom Parqking reserves its customer's Parking Spots. If you are required by law to withhold any Taxes from your payments to Parqking, you must provide Parqking with an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support such payments. Unless otherwise stated, any overage fees incurred by you will be billed in arrears on a monthly basis. Overage fees which remain unpaid for 30 days after being billed are considered overdue. Failure to pay overage fees when due may result in the applicable service being limited, suspended, or terminated (subject to applicable legal requirements), which may result in a loss of your data associated with that service.
CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS
Reservations purchased through the Site are fully refundable up to the start time of the Reservation, unless noted otherwise. You can cancel a Reservation for any reason before that time unless noted otherwise. Within 24 hours of the end time of the Reservation, all Reservations are non-refundable, regardless of your use or non-use of the Reservation and regardless of any circumstance surrounding the use or non-use of a Reservation (i.e., traffic or weather delays, cancellation of a related event).
Parqking may from time to time partner with third parties (“Partner”), and Reservations purchased on Partner websites are not refundable for any reason.
PROMOTIONAL MARKETING INCENTIVES
Parqking may from time to time issue promotional marketing incentives in the form of promotional codes, promotional discounts, coupon codes, Referral Credits (as defined below) or other marketing incentives (“Marketing Incentives”). The Marketing Incentives are given for no exchange of value or other consideration and you therefore have no ownership interests or rights in the Marketing Incentives. For this reason, Parqking reserves the right to deactivate any Marketing Incentive at any time and for any reason, including without limitation, mistake, failure to maintain an updated online account, unauthorized use or suspicion of fraud or abuse of any promotional program or Marketing Incentives. Further, Parqking reserves the right to terminate or discontinue any promotional program or other program offering Marketing Incentives at any time.
REFERRAL PROGRAM
If you choose to use our referral program (“Referral Program”) to tell a third party (the “Referral”) about the Site in exchange for the opportunity to earn promotional credits for Services (“Referral Credits”), we will ask you for the Referral’s name, email address and other information. We will automatically send the Referral a one-time email inviting the Referral to visit the Site. We store the Referral’s information for the purpose of sending this email and tracking the success of our referral program. You may only earn Referral Credits up to a value of $250, regardless of any increase in Parqking fees. Once you have reached the $250 limit (which limit may be increased or decreased at any time in Parqking’s sole discretion), your online account will no longer be credited for any Referrals. Parqking reserves the right to deactivate any Referral Credits at any time and for any reason, including, but not limited to, mistake, failure to maintain an updated online account, unauthorized use or suspicion of fraud or abuse of the Referral Program or the Referral Credits in any way. Referral Credits are given for no exchange of value or other consideration, and are strictly promotional vouchers with no monetary value. Further, Parqking reserves the right to terminate or discontinue the Referral Program at any time.
RESERVATION RATES
The rate for a Reservation made on the Site may not be combined with any additional coupons, special offers or other promotion when exiting a parking facility after using the Parking Spot underlying a Reservation. Special discounts do not apply.
