Parker Agreement
Introduction
1. Before renting a space, you must agree to the terms of this
Parker Agreement in
addition to the General Terms and Conditions (collectively “Terms”). These
Terms
apply to the native application, web application, and/or website of Pied Parker, Inc.
(the “App”), or services, products, features, content, or applications provided in
connection with the App (the “Service”) provided or arranged by Pied Parker, Inc.
(the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “Pied Parker”; possessively “our”) to or for you, the
recipient of the Services (the “Parker,” “Driver,” “you,” “your,” or “yourself”).
2. Please note that these terms under the Parker Agreement apply to the provision of
Services directly by us to you, namely the service we offer allowing you to book
parking spaces (“Bookings” or “Reservations”) from our registered parking space
owners or operators (“Listers”). These terms do not apply to the license between
you and the Lister of one or more parking spaces (“Parking Spaces” or “Parking
Spots”); the granting of licenses to use Parking Spaces by Listers is contained within
the terms of the Parker-Lister License Agreement with the Lister.
3. The App is merely a venue in which Listers may advertise available Parking Spaces,
and a parking User (“Parker”) may seek an available Parking Space along with
service(s) to facilitate transactions between the Listers and Parkers. Use of a
Parking Space occurs for a fixed duration of time (a “parking period” or
“reservation”), as denoted by “check-in” and “check-out” for available on-demand,
hourly, daily, weekly, and flat rate occupancy. “Check-out” corresponds with the
time in which the Parker agrees to depart a reserved Parking Space.
4. We ask that you please do not use our App or Services while you are in the process
of operating a motorized vehicle.
General
1. If you wish to book a Parking Space through the App, you will be able
to do so
through On-demand parking or by Scheduled Reservations.
2. To begin, select a parking space on the map you wish to reserver or select “Rent
Your Driveway” on the opening screen. You will be prompted to login or create a
new account. You may log into Pied Parker through Facebook or may create an
account if you do not have an account already. You will need to add payment
information before you are able to complete a reservation.
3. This platform presents available Parking Spaces that are provided by Listers in
your
area. Select a Parking Space on the map that you wish to book. The App should
present information about the space including price and provide an option to book. Once you
have reviewed the information, are successfully logged in and have
inputted payment information, you may select the booking option available. Once
you select confirm, your card will be charged and your reservation will be
scheduled. If a listing provides a time in which the space must be unoccupied, you
must depart before the time indicated on the listing.
4. For Scheduled Reservations, if a Parking Space is available during the time frame
you requested, the App should display a departure time and a total price, asking you
to confirm. Once you select confirm, your card will be charged and your reservation
will be scheduled immediately. You must depart before the scheduled departure
time. For further obligations regarding departure, review “Your Obligations” and
“Overstaying and Towing.”
5. For On-demand parking, you pay for the time starting with when you confirm your
reservation until the time when you select “depart” on the App. Once you select
“depart” you have five minutes to gather your belongings, board any passengers,
and promptly depart. For further obligations regarding departure, review “Your
Obligations” and “Overstaying and Towing.”
6. We will also ask you to confirm that you accept the Terms when you enter your
credit card or debit card information with Pied Parker.
7. When you rent a Parking Space through Pied Parker, you agree to pay for
transactions entered into via this App or Service in addition to the Parker-Lister
License Agreement at confirmation.
8. Once we have received payment, you will be sent a confirmation message and you
will have entered a binding agreement with the Lister for the use of their Parking
Space.
9. We will send you a booking confirmation email (“Confirmation Email”).
10. Pied Parker does not control the prices set by users, and thus does not
currently
participate in “surge pricing.”
11. A rate may not be changed for current bookings. If a Lister raises or lowers the
price for a Parking Spot, it will only apply to bookings after the change, including any
applicable extensions on a current booking.
12. If a Lister removes a Parking Space from the App while the Parking Space is
occupied by a Parker during a current booking, the Parker may not extend the
booking, and must depart the Parking Space by the end of the period of booking
availability.
13. The maximum period of booking availability for On-demand parking is currently 24
hours; the Parker can select “depart” and rebook the Parking Space before the end
of a period of booking availability as long as the Parking Space is still listed as
available by the Lister and is not booked by another Parker.
Payment
1. For On-demand parking when we request payment from you we will
generally
request the full amount due with respect to your booking once you hit “depart.” We
may require a minimum booking time. If you book a Parking Space for less time
than the minimum booking time, you will still be charged at least the amount for the
minimum booking time.
2. We are authorized by the Lister to accept payment from you on the Lister’s
behalf.
3. A Parker will be charged a 30 cent transaction fee per
transaction in addition to a
rate set by a Lister for a particular Parking Space. The Parker will also be charged
the 30 cent transaction fee for each subsequent extension or rebooking
of a
Parking Space.
4. Pied Parker uses secure third party payment systems. Please make sure that
the
payment information you supply is accurate and legitimate.
Listed Parking Spaces
1. You agree that the App is a platform for advertising Parking
Spaces owned by Listers
and we have no responsibility for the Parking Space other than to provide the
Services under this Agreement, which includes facilitating and confirming Bookings
as well as collecting payment on behalf of the Lister.
2. While we pride ourselves on user satisfaction with the Parking Spaces
advertised on
the App, we offer no warranty as to a Parking Space's suitability for your
requirements, including, but not limited to, the quality, safety, or legality of the
information posted. Similarly, we will have relied on the Lister for details about a
Parking Space given on the App; if any unsafe or illegal information is posted,
please
flag or report such information at hello@piedparker.com, and Pied Parker will make
a reasonable effort to remove such information. Terms relating to the
“Conditions
of Parking Spaces” are outlined below.
Eligibility
1. You represent and warrant that you have a valid driver’s
license, that you have the
authority to operate any vehicle you identify (“your vehicle”) through the App
and
Service with the vehicle registration, and that you are covered by at least
minimum
coverage auto insurance. Minimum coverage auto insurance is the insurance the
applicable state, province, territory, or other jurisdiction requires to be able
to
legally operate an automobile.
2. You represent and warrant that you are of sound mind and body to
operate a
vehicle legally, safely, and responsibly. You agree never to:
a. Distract yourself from operating a vehicle while using the Pied
Parker App or
Service; or
b. Operate a vehicle and attempt to use the App or Service while
over the legal
blood alcohol limit of your jurisdiction or while using any other drugs or
medications such that you are incapable of operating a motor vehicle safely.
3. You may use the App or Service to look for parking for a fully
automated or partially
automated vehicle, provided that you do safely and according to the laws of your
jurisdiction.
4. You must keep your Account, contact, payment, and vehicle information
current at
all times. Attempts to supply invalid or fraudulent information may be
documented
and reported, and constitute a violation of our Terms. For our policy regarding
violations of the Terms, see “Violations.”
Conditions of Parking Spaces
1. We are not responsible for the location or condition
of Parking Spaces, availability of
the Parking Spaces, or the conduct of the Lister during the parking period.
We are
not responsible for the placement of the pin on the map that identifies the
location
of the Parking Space, and thus cannot be responsible for the location’s
accuracy.
We are not responsible for verifying or capturing any photos associated with
a
Parking Space. Listers may represent and warrant to us that the Lister has
authority
to list the Parking Spots for reservation; we act as an agent for the Lister
for the
purposes of arranging a licensing arrangement, and by making a Booking you
are
entering into an agreement with the Lister, the Parker-Lister
License Agreement.
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
warranty
becomes inaccurate or incomplete prior to your use of a Parking Spot.
2. You agree to use the Parking Space “as is,” and accept all
responsibility for the
actions of you and any passenger(s), and for any criminal or civil
violations, tickets,
damage, costs, towing, charges, or other liabilities that may occur during
or from
use of the parking space. Other liabilities may include, but are not limited
to,
damage caused to the vehicle as a result of criminal or civil malfeasance,
vandalism,
etc., or damage caused to parking space or nearby property such as
accidental or
intentional damage to property, leaking fluid, noise violations, or
littering.
3. Company makes no representations about the quality, safety, or
legality of the
parking space information. Inaccurate or fraudulent listings may be reported
by
users, and once alerted, Pied Parker will make reasonable efforts to remove
those
listings within a reasonable time period. Please report inaccurate or
fraudulent
listings, including any necessary details or photographs at
hello@piedparker.com.
4. If you are unsatisfied with the condition of a Parking Space, or
a Parking Space has
any debris, ice, snow, water, trash, or any other material of any kind that
may
render it unsafe to enter, exit, or otherwise navigate please provide
feedback
indicating your concerns or see our policy regarding “Cancellations” below.
5. Company will not be responsible for incomplete transactions.
Unless stated
otherwise in these Terms, once we have confirmed your Booking we have no
further
obligation to you in relation to the Parking Space, your License Period or
your
Booking and all responsibility is transferred to the Lister. Company does
not
transfer legal ownership or any other property rights; the only rights
conveyed to
the Lister are those including a temporary license for use of a reserved
Parking
Space.
Licenses
1. You must only use the Parking Space from the time
you confirm your reservation
until the time you schedule departure. If you use the Parking Space at

omissions and
also is responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals
who he or she have
transported in your vehicle or have allowed to park in your reserved
Parking Space.
You agree to pay the cost of replacing or repairing any damaged
property and you
understand that either Lister or Pied Parker may make a claim under

the immediate vicinity
thereof, and depending on the local health laws, may be illegal.

repair your
vehicle in the Parking Space unless you require simple, expeditious
professional
roadside assistance. You are not permitted to perform regularly
scheduled maintenance within the Parking Space, including but not
limited to, changing the oil
of the vehicle and changing a tire without the consent of the

containing one or more Parking Spaces, Lister may
enforce parking guidelines, which must be referenced in signs
and in the parking

cameras, webcams, or other security
devices on their property to ensure the safety of a Parking
Space and its
surroundings. It should be indicated in the listing for the
Parking Space whether or
not such recording devices are included in the list of
amenities included for the
Parking Space. If recording devices are present at a
location of a Parking Space, but
are not included as an amenity, please notify us at hello@piedparker.com.

the Parker’s risk. We suggest that no
items are placed such that they are visible outside of the
vehicle.

Listers are responsible for the
cost of replacing or repairing the damaged property.
2. If you believe that a Lister or third party
has caused damage to your Parking Space
during a reservation, please follow the instructions of
any applicable insurance

Lister, you should take
reasonable steps to protect your property from further
damage.
4. PIED PARKER IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE
TO VEHICLES WHILE
OCCUPYING A PARKING SPOT OR DRIVING TO OR FROM A PARKING
SPOT. However,
Pied Parker would like to stay informed about any
incidents in order to retain high
user satisfaction, and thus requests you provide updates
periodically.
Damage to Lister’s Property
1. As a Parker, you are
responsible for leaving the Property in the
condition it was in
when you arrived. You acknowledge and agree that, as
a Parker, you are
responsible for your own acts and omissions and are
also responsible for the acts
and omissions of any individuals who you have
transported in your vehicle or have
allowed to park in your reserved Parking Space. You
agree to pay the cost of
replacing or repairing any damaged property.
2. You understand that that either Lister or
Pied Parker may make a claim under your
homeowner’s, renter’s, automobile or other insurance
policy for any damage.
Charges
1. If you do not have enough credit associated with your Account to pay agreed-upon charges, you agree to add adequate funds to your Account in order to pay in full all accrued charges. You may not utilize the Service for subsequent transactions until such payment in-full is processed by the Company.
Overstaying and Towing
1. If you claim to
depart a Parking Space but your vehicle
remains in occupation of the
same, then you remain responsible for costs
associated with that occupation. You
recognize and agree that if you or your
vehicle stay beyond the time in which you
agree to depart or otherwise occupy an
unavailable parking spot, you will be
subject
to additional fees, higher rates, and/or
towing solely at your expense if the
overstay
interferes with the Lister’s use after the
Lister list the Parking Space as unavailable
or the overstay interferes with a second
Parker’s use of the Parking Space.
2. Additional fees may include an
increased rate of up to three to eight times
the
agreed upon rate for time overstayed.
Additional fees may be increased in the
future.
3. You agree that if your vehicle is
towed after the check-out time, or for other
legal
violation, that you are solely responsible
for all associated charges.
4.
Company will make reasonable effort to
contact you or have the Lister contact you
before your vehicle is towed.
5. PIED PARKER DOES NOT FACILITATE
TOWING, and thus disputes relating to towing
are between you and the Lister as governed
by the Parker-Lister License
Agreement.
Third Parties
1. These Terms apply to you, the person using the Services; you will be responsible for ensuring that any third party, such as your vehicle occupants, that you allow to use a Parking Space that you have been granted a license to use, complies with the Terms and the Parker-Lister License Agreement. You assume any liability for any action taken by the third party, and agree to indemnify for any such action in accordance with the indemnification provisions of the Terms.
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
1. Some Listers
may have an Electric Vehicle
Charging Station (“Charge Point”)
available
for use during a reservation. Unless
the Lister has expressly authorized
use of the
charging equipment in the Parking
Space, you are not authorized to use
the
charging equipment.
2. Parkers must follow all
user instructions in relation to the
use of a Charge Point. It is
your responsibility to ensure that
the charging of your Vehicle using a
Charge Point
is carried out safely so as to avoid
injury to any person or damage to
property. In
particular, this includes but is not
limited to ensuring that you take
all reasonable
care when charging your Vehicle,
including, but not limited to the
following:
a. you must have all necessary
connector cables to enable your
Vehicle to be
charged at a Charge Point;
b. the connector cable must be
safely plugged into your Vehicle and
the
positioning of the connector cable
must not create a tripping hazard to
any
person; and
c. the connector cable must not be
unplugged from the Vehicle before
the plug
is removed from the Charge Point;
and the Vehicle must not be driven
with
the connector cable still attached
to the Charge Point.
3. We are unable to guarantee that
any Parking Space outfitted with
Electrical Vehicle
Charging Equipment will be fully
operational as these factors are
outside of our
control and depend on the actions of
third parties, including the Lister.
If you do
experience any problems accessing or
using any Charge Points, please
contact us.
4. You will be responsible
for any damage caused to a Charge
Point, any other
property or for any injury to any
person due to a breach of these
Terms by you or
your Authorized Person, or for your
or your Authorized Person’s misuse
or negligence or failure to comply
with any user instructions or
guidance in relation to
a Charge Point and/or your Vehicle.
You must notify us immediately of
any damage
caused to a Charge Point.
5. Please be aware that the
Owner is responsible for the Charge
Point (including for
the supply of electricity to such
Charge Point) and we have no
responsibility or
liability to you in respect of such
Charge Point. If you or your
Authorized Person
suffer any damage, loss or injury
whilst using a Charge Point, you
must notify us
immediately.
6. Third party applications
may also be incorporated into Pied
Parker’s application for
providing EV charging. Such third
party applications may have
additional terms and
conditions which you must agree to
in order to use. You may be subject
to
additional charges through the use
of such third party applications.
Violations

account will be subject to
suspension or termination if you
violate the terms.
You will not be refunded for any
pending reservations for
violations.

any reason, we may refuse to
provide you with further
Services, including the right to
make any further Bookings
or Listings. If you attempt to

create a new account, we reserve
the right to terminate this
Agreement, any existing
Account you may have, and any
posted Content.
3. We may terminate this
Agreement and your Account at
any time if:
a. you are in breach of
any of the Terms;
b. we suspect that you are
intending to commit a breach of
this Agreement; or
c. you become or we suspect
that you may be unable to
fulfill any financial
transaction through the App.
4. Upon termination you will be
unable to use the App or
Service.
5. In the event of
termination, the Terms relating
to fees, disclaimers, liability,
and
damage for previous reservations
remain in force.
Cancellations
1. You agree to abide by the policies regarding cancellation included in this agreement and the cancellation policy included in the General Terms and Conditions as well as the Parker-Lister License Agreement (“Cancellation Policy”).
Extensions or Rebooking
1.
The App may allow for
reservation extensions
under certain
conditions. Under
ordinary circumstances,
if a Lister has not
removed their Parking
Space from further
reservation, and there
is no other pending
reservation, then you
may extend or
rebook your reservation.
2. If you are
unable to extend your
reservation for any
reason, please
understand that
your vehicle may be
blocking a driveway or
private parking spot,
which may create a
range of inconveniences
for the Lister or
others. If your vehicle
must overstay its
reservation, please see
our policy on
“Overstaying.”
