In the event you change or deactivate your mobile telephone number, you agree to promptly update your Parkade account information to ensure that your messages are not sent to the person that acquires your old number.
Parking Listings: When creating a parking spot listing (“Listing”) on the Service, Parking Spot Owners must (i) provide complete and accurate information about the parking spot (such as specific location and availability timeslots), (ii) disclose any deficiencies, restrictions and requirements that apply; and (iii) provide any other pertinent information (e.g., EV status of parking spot or vehicle to be parked, size of parking spot or vehicle to be parked). Parking Spot Owners are responsible for keeping Listings (including calendar availability) up to date at all times. Parking Spot Seekers acknowledge and agree that Parkade does not and is not obligated to independently verify the content of Listings.
Parking Spot Owners represent and warrant that any Listing they post and sharing of such parking spot, will (i) not breach any agreements entered into with any third parties, such as homeowners association, condominium, employer policies, or other agreements, and (ii) comply with all applicable laws (such as zoning laws), and other rules and regulations (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations) and will in no event result in Parkade violating any applicable law or being miscategorized as a parking operator of record.
The placement and ranking of Listings in search results on the Services may vary and depend on a variety of factors, such as Parking Spot Seekers’ search parameters and preferences, price and calendar availability, reviews, ratings, etc.
When a Parking Spot Owner accepts or has pre-approved a booking request by a Parking Spot Seeker, the Parking Spot Owner enters into a contractual relationship with the Parking Spot Seeker, with the intention of providing the parking spot as described in the Listing at the time of the booking request. However, this does not preclude the Parking Spot Owner from modifying or canceling the reservation, or adjusting the price of a reservation in the future, subject to the terms outlined herein. Both parties agree to adhere to all applicable fees and taxes related to the reservation, as detailed further in the agreement.
User Conduct: You are solely responsible for all code, video, images, information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, messages or other materials (“content”) that you upload, post, publish or display (hereinafter, “upload”) or email or otherwise use via the Service. The following are examples of the kind of content and/or use that is illegal or prohibited by Parkade. Parkade reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate legal action against anyone who, in Parkade’s sole discretion, violates this provision, including without limitation, removing the offending content from the Service, suspending or terminating the account of such violators and reporting you to the law enforcement authorities. You agree to not use the Service to:
We may take any legal or operational action and implement any technical remedies to prevent the violation of these provisions and to enforce these Terms.
Fees: When Parking Spot Seekers and Parking Spot Owners make, receive, or accept a booking through the Services, they are contracting only with each other, and Parkade is not a party to that transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parking Spot Owners agree to appoint Parkade as their payment collection agent for the limited purpose of collecting payments from Parking Spot Seekers on their behalf. All payments made via the Services will be processed by Parkade’s third party payment processors, including Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”). Stripe handles any information you provide to them in accordance with their privacy policy which can be found at: https://stripe.com/us/privacy. By using the Services to make payments to other Parkade users, you consent to Parkade providing payment information to Stripe in order to provide the Services to you and acknowledge that you have read and agree to the terms of Stripe’s privacy policy and terms of service. All fees listed on the Service are in US Dollars. For any payment you authorize via the Services, Parkade will charge the payment method you specify at the time of purchase.
Each Parking Spot Owner agrees that a payment made by a Parking Spot Seeker via the Service shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Parking Spot Owner. Consequently, the Parking Spot Owner will make the parking spot available to the Parking Spot Seeker as per the agreed terms. However, this provision does not restrict the Parking Spot Owners ability to modify or cancel a reservation, or to adjust the reservation's price in the future, in accordance with the platform's policies on reservation modifications, cancellations, and price adjustments. Each Parking Spot Owner understands that Parkade accepts payments from Parking Spot Seekers as the Parking Spot Owner’s limited payment collection agent and that Parkade’s obligation to pay the Parking Spot Owner is subject to and conditional upon (i) successful receipt of the associated payments from Parking Spot Seekers, and (ii) Parkade’s confirmation that the Parking Spot Owner has made the parking spot available in accordance with the agreed upon booking. Parkade does not guarantee payments to Parking Spot Owners for amounts that have not been successfully received by Parkade from Parking Spot Seekers, or in the event Parkade determines a payment should be returned to a Parking Spot Seeker due to the Parking Spot Owner not making the parking spot available at the agreed day, time, and location, or otherwise impeding in any manner the use of the parking spot(s) by the Parking Spot Seeker(s).
In accepting appointment as the limited collection agent of the Parking Spot Owner, Parkade assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Parking Spot Owner. Parking Spot Owners understand and agree that they are responsible for determining any applicable tax reporting requirements and agree to pay any taxes applicable to the fees they collect via the Services.
“Parking Fees” consist of several components: the baseline fee for the use of the parking spot and additional charges included in Service Fees. This baseline fee, along with any applicable Service Fees, forms the total cost that the Parking Spot Seekers will see and will have to agree to pay before booking a Listing.
“Service Fees” are fees that may be charged by Parkade, at Parkade’s discretion, to Parking Spot Owners and Parking Spot Seekers, as applicable, for facilitating the Service and as deemed necessary and appropriate to Parkade’s business. All Service Fees are subject to adjustment by Parkade. Service Fees include but are not limited to:
Parking Spot Seekers agree to pay applicable Service Fees, Parking Fees and any applicable taxes for any booking confirmed in connection with their Parkade account. Parking Spot Owners authorize Parkade to deduct the Service Fees from the applicable Parking Fees before issuing a payout to the Parking Spot Owner.
Cancellations and refunds are subject to the Reservation Terms. Except as expressly stated otherwise, Some Service Fees may not be refundable, some Parking Fees may not be refundable, and any and all refunds are at our sole discretion.
Parkade reserves the right to establish, modify or charge additional Service Fees for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the Services at any time. Parkade will use reasonable efforts to inform Parking Spot Owners and Parking Spot Seekers of fees that may apply, provided that Parking Spot Owners and Parking Spot Seekers will be responsible for Service Fees regardless of such Parking Spot Owner or Parking Spot Seeker’s awareness of the Services Fees or the amounts subject to the Service Fees.
Independent of Parking Fees and Service Fees, Parkade may also collect fines on behalf of Parking Spot Owners for unauthorized parking or violations of parking policies.
“Failed Payment Fees” is a fee that may be applied by Parkade to Parking Spot Seeker on failed automatic monthly payments. There is a $8.00 USD charge per ACH return, and additional fees may be applied by Parkade to Parking Spot Seeker as permitted under applicable law. Failure to comply with Failed Payment Fees may result in termination of access to the Services. Parkade’s acceptance of Failed Payment Fees will not constitute a waiver of Parking Spot Seekers’’ obligation to make timely payments in the future.
“Percentage-Based Fee” is a fee that may be charged by Parkade to Parking Spot Owner and is deducted, along with any other applicable Service Fees, from the payment to Parking Spot Owner from each Parking Spot Seeker. The amount of the Percentage-Based Fee is determined by Parkade. Parking Spot Owner acknowledges that Parkade sets such Percentage-Based Fee in its sole discretion.
“Short-Term Reservations Service Fee” is a flat fee of $0.25 charged by Parkade to reservations of 45 days or fewer in length.
Parking Spot Seekers acknowledge and agree that Parkade acts as the Parking Spot Owner’s payment collection agent for the limited purpose of accepting payments from you on behalf of the Parking Spot Owner. Upon your payment of the Parking Fees (and applicable taxes) to Parkade, your payment obligation to the Parking Spot Owner for the parking reservation is extinguished, and Parkade is responsible for remitting the payment (less the Service Fees, and applicable taxes). In the event that Parkade does not remit any such amounts as described in these Terms, the Parking Spot Owner will have recourse only against Parkade. Parkade will make parking payment available to Parking Spot Owners, less fees and refunds. You also acknowledge and agree that you will pay, and authorize us to charge, deduct, or otherwise collect, any and all applicable fines, penalties, or other amounts payable pursuant to your use or misuse of the Services.
You represent and warrant to Parkade that in connection with any fees or payable amounts, your payment method(s) is accurate and up-to-date and that you are authorized to use the payment method(s). You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay Parkade all amounts specified in the Services or pursuant to these Terms, and you hereby authorize Parkade to bill your payment method(s)in accordance with the same. If you dispute any charges, you must let Parkade know within thirty (30) days after the date that Parkade charges you. We reserve the right to change Parkade’s prices. Your continued use of the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the Service other than U.S. taxes based on Parkade’s net income.

PARKADE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DELAY OR FAILURE TO PERFORM ANY OBLIGATION HEREIN IF THE DELAY OR FAILURE IS DUE TO UNFORESEEN EVENTS THAT ARE BEYOND PARKADE’S REASONABLE CONTROL, SUCH AS STRIKES, BLOCKADE, WAR, TERRORISM, RIOTS, NATURAL DISASTERS, EPIDEMIC, OR GOVERNMENTAL ACTION, IN SO FAR AS SUCH AN EVENT PREVENTS OR DELAYS PARKADE IN FULFILLING ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR RESULTS IN PROPERTY DAMAGE.

ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU OR BE ENFORCEABLE WITH RESPECT TO YOU.

This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in this Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Parkade, whether arising out of or relating to this Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Service, you and Parkade are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
YOU AND PARKADE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND PARKADE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
Parkade is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at hello@parkade.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Parkade should be sent to Parkade Inc, 3130 20th St, Ste 190, San Francisco, CA 94110 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Parkade and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Parkade may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Parkade or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Parkade is entitled.
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Unless Parkade and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Parkade agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $25,000 or less, at your request, Parkade will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of relief sought is more than $25,000 and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, Parkade will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Parkade will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Terms of Service to the contrary, Parkade agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending Parkade written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
You agree that Parkade, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Parkade believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Parkade may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this Terms of Service may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Parkade may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that Parkade will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.
You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in connection with the Service and Parkade will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. Parkade reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other user of the Service.
You should understand that, insofar as permitted by applicable law, nothing in these Terms will in any way limit or prohibit you from filing a charge or complaint with, or otherwise communicating or cooperating with or participating in any investigation or proceeding (“Protected Activity”) that may be conducted by any federal, state or local government agency or commission (“Government Agencies”). You understand that in connection with such Protected Activity, you are permitted to disclose documents or other information as permitted by law, and without giving notice to, or receiving authorization from, Parkade. Notwithstanding, in making any such disclosures or communications, you agree to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute Parkade confidential information to any parties other than the Government Agencies.
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Parkade and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Parkade with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third party services, third party content or third party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and Parkade agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within San Francisco County, California. The failure of Parkade to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Parkade, but Parkade may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notice to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service. The provisions of these Terms relating to the rights of the Parkade Parties are intended for the benefit of such Parkade Parties, and such Parkade Parties, as third-party beneficiaries, will be entitled to enforce such provisions in accordance with their terms, irrespective of the fact that they are not signatories to or otherwise bound by these Terms.
