    1. These terms and conditions apply to all services ("Services") provided or arranged by us, Prndl ("us", "we" or "Prndl") to or for you, the owner or operator of one or more parking spaces (each a "Parking Space") and recipient of the Services ("you" or the "Parking Space Owner").
    2. Please note that these terms apply only to the provision of Services directly by us to you. These terms do not apply to the use by third parties of the Parking Space itself. The licensing of your Parking Space is dealt with under the terms of your Parking Space License Agreement with such third party drivers ("Drivers").
    3. We may amend these terms from time to time. Any amendments or new terms and conditions will be provided to you. You may terminate this Agreement if you do not wish to be bound by any such amendments but by continuing to use our website or Services you will be deemed to have accepted the new terms.

  2. Services and listing

    1. We may advertise your Parking Space on our website and mobile applications ("Website") and provide information to Drivers and prospective Drivers who may wish to use the Parking Space.
    2. You will be required to complete your own listing for the Website. In your listing you agree to provide all relevant information about the Parking Space including:
      1. the address of the Parking Space;
      2. any restrictions on the types of vehicles for which the Parking Space is suitable;
      3. any other information or restrictions which apply to the Parking Space which a Driver should be aware of before booking the Parking Space.
    3. You are also required to provide us separately with information before we will list the Parking Space including your name, address and telephone number.
    4. You must provide us with any other information relating to you or the Parking Space as we may reasonably request at any time and we may also ask you to clarify any information you have provided.
    5. You are responsible for the accuracy of all information in your listing and any information you provide to us in relation to a booking. You may be liable to the Driver under the Parking Space License Agreement if the information you provide is inaccurate, incomplete or misleading in any way. Your liability may include any reasonable losses incurred by the Driver as a result of such inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information provided by you and you may be ordered to pay reasonable damages on the basis of misrepresentation, breach of contract or otherwise.
    6. We reserve the right to conduct a physical inspection of the Parking Space at any time and may remove your listing if the Parking Space does not conform to the information you have provided or our standards or we believe you to be in breach of your obligations under clause 8 (Your obligations).
    7. In addition to advertising the Parking Space, we will be entitled to send promotional emails to Drivers and provide such information about your Parking Space as we may deem appropriate to promote Prndl or your Parking Space.

  3. Appointment as Agent

    1. You appoint us as your agent for the purposes of forming binding agreements between you and the Driver to whom you agree to grant a license to use the Parking Space. You also appoint us to collect all or part of your license charges from the Driver.
    2. At the time we confirm the booking of the Parking Space and receive payment from the Driver (see clause 4 below), a binding agreement will be formed (the "Parking Space License Agreement") between you and the Driver. The agreement will be on standard terms set out here and will only include any additional restrictions relating to your Parking Space if listed by you in accordance with clause 2.2.
    3. You may not incorporate any additional terms into the Parking Space License Agreement other than the restrictions clearly included in your listing. You agree not to propose to the Driver any additional terms or amendments to the Parking Space License Agreement after a booking has been made without our consent. The Driver is not obliged to accept any further terms once we have accepted a booking on your behalf.
    4. The Parking Space License Agreement and any additional restrictions included in your listing are a contract between you and the Driver. We are not a party to that agreement and we will not be liable to you, the Driver or any third party for any breach of the Parking Space License Agreement or otherwise in relation to the Parking Space or its use by Drivers. We are not a real estate broker, agent or insurer. We have no control over the conduct of Drivers or Parking Space Owners and disclaim all liability in this regard.

  4. Bookings, payment and our charges

    1. The Website uses Braintree, a division of PayPal, Inc. (Braintree) for payment processing services. By using the Braintree payment processing services you agree to the Braintree Payment Services Agreement available at https://www.braintreepayments.com/legal/gateway-agreement, and the applicable bank agreement available at https://www.braintreepayments.com/legal/cea-wells .
    2. Instant Booking
      1. Your Parking Space will be available for instant booking. Your Parking Space will be treated as available unless you inform us otherwise. It is your responsibility to ensure that you inform us of any dates your Parking Space will not be available for booking. If the availability changes at any time you must notify us as soon as practicable. Based on the availability information you have provided to us we will tailor the Website listing for your Parking Space. If you have not informed us that your Parking Space is unavailable for a particular date or time then you may be liable to pay the reasonable costs of alternative arrangements for a Driver who makes a booking for such date and time.
      2. Where instant booking is used you agree that we will manage the entire booking process and you authorize us to accept a booking for an available date and issue a Parking Space License Agreement without further reference to you. We will take payment from the Driver on your behalf at the time of booking as set out below.
    3. Payment
      1. Once we have provisionally accepted a booking on your behalf we will request payment from the Driver and issue a Parking Space License Agreement. Once we have received the necessary payment from the Driver a booking will be deemed to have been accepted and you will have entered a binding agreement with the Driver to allow the Driver to occupy the Parking Space during the dates and times ("License Period") set out in our email confirming a booking ("Confirmation Email") subject to the Parking Space License Agreement. We will confirm a booking to you as soon as practicable.
      2. Prndl Payments
        1. Our standard policy is to collect the full amount owed by the Driver for the Parking Space at the time they make their booking and:
          • In the case of instant bookings, we will collect full payment from a Driver in the case of a short or medium-term booking (any booking of up to 6 weeks) or a month's advance payment in the case of a long-term booking (any booking of more than 6 weeks) at the time a Driver makes a booking without further reference to you. The Driver must agree to the terms of the Parking Space License Agreement and payment must be received in full before the booking is confirmed.
        2. You authorize us to accept and hold such payments on your behalf. We will forward the initial payment to you that we have received from the Driver 48 hours after the start of the License Period or 48 hours after the period covered by a subsequent payment in the case of a long term booking. We reserve the right to waive this escrow period.
    4. Chargebacks
      1. From time to time we may collect payment on your behalf from a Driver which we either have to repay to a Driver's credit card provider or which is deducted from a retention we have with our credit card processors (a "Chargeback"). If we are subject to a Chargeback in respect of a booking of your Parking Space you agree that:
        1. we will not be under any obligation to make payment to you of any amount which is the subject of a Chargeback and any claim you have for non-payment of Parking Space License Fees will be against the Driver (and we will not be obliged to pursue such claim); and
        2. if we are subject to a Chargeback after we have already made payment to you then you agree that you will repay to us an amount equivalent to the Chargeback (less our fees).
      2. In the event of a Chargeback in relation to an amount we have already paid to you we reserve the right to deduct an amount equal to the Chargeback from any credit or debit card details you have supplied or from payments received from Drivers for future bookings until we have been reimbursed in full and may use any credit or debit card details you have provided for such purposes.

  5. Cancellation and Termination

    1. You agree to abide by the cancellation policy as stated on our website (the "Cancellation Policy") which may be updated from time to time.
    2. Furthermore, you agree that if a Driver wishes to cancel a booking they may do so through us and our Website and we will act as your agent in dealing with any cancellation. If we are required to process a cancellation we will do so in accordance with the Cancellation Policy.
    3. If we have received any payments in respect of a booking before a License Period begins and such booking is subsequently canceled by you or the Driver you authorize us to refund the Driver from any payments we are holding on your behalf. Where you have received payments directly you are required to refund the Driver in accordance with the Cancellation Policy.
    4. We reserve the right to cancel your account and terminate this agreement if you do not refund a Driver within the timeframes specified in the Cancellation Policy. We may also collect payment from the debit or credit card details you have supplied and use these to discharge your liability to a Driver for a canceled booking.
    5. For long term bookings you agree to abide by the termination policy included in the Parking Space License Agreement. In the event of termination of a booking it is a breach of clause 8 (Your obligations) to grant the Driver a license to use the Parking Space within a period of 12 months from the date of termination.

  6. The Parking Space

    1. Before any License Period you must ensure that the Parking Space is in a satisfactory condition and is able to meet the requirements of the Driver under the booking.
    2. You represent and warrant that you own the Parking Space or that you are authorised to allow third parties to use the Parking Space and, where necessary, you have permission from your landlord, tenant or condominium association (or other persons who control any condominium of which the Parking Space is a part) to do so. If you are in any doubt you should check the terms of your lease (or sublease), freehold title, mortgage, deed of trust, condominium documents or any other documents of record to ensure that you are able to grant a license to use your Parking Space in the manner envisaged by this agreement and/or your agreement with Drivers.
    3. We will not be liable to you, the Driver or any other third party (such as a landlord, tenant, condominium association (or any other persons who control any condominium of which the Parking Space is a part) or management company) if you do not have the necessary authority referred to in clause 6.2 and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Prndl for any loss we may suffer as a result of your breach of the representation and warranty above.

You represent and warrant that you have all necessary regulatory and planning approvals to grant a license to use the Parking Space and that the license to use the Parking Space will comply with all applicable laws, Tax requirements and rules and regulations that may apply to the Parking Space, including but not limited to zoning laws and laws governing rental of or licenses to use residential and other properties.
    2. You agree to notify us immediately upon receiving any notice, correspondence or contact in any other form from any governmental authority, landlord or condominium association (or other persons who control any condominium of which the Parking Space is a part) in connection with the use of your Parking Space for purposes envisaged by this Agreement and/or your agreement with the Driver; and upon request, you agree to provide copies thereof to us. Following such notice from you we reserve the right to terminate this agreement and remove the Parking Space from the Website.
    3. You agree that we shall not be liable to you in any way whatsoever if you suffer any loss as a result of any governmental authority or any other relevant public authority bringing proceedings against you or taking any other action against you as a result of listing the Parking Space on the Website.

You will also be liable for the costs we incur in enforcing this clause 8.5 and we reserve the right to deduct such fees and costs using the debit or credit card details you have supplied to us or by reducing your Prndl balance accordingly.
    5. We reserve the right to inspect the Parking Space at any time to verify any fees due in accordance with clause 8.2.

  9. Debit or Credit card details

    1. In order to register an account you may be required to provide us with credit or debit card details to enable us to make payments to you.

      • you cancel a booking other than in accordance with the Cancellation Policy; or
      • you refuse to cooperate with us in respect of this Agreement.
      • If any bookings are outstanding on termination by us under this clause 12.3 then clause 12.5 will apply.
    4. In the event of termination the terms of this Agreement will continue in full force, so far as such terms relate to existing bookings or the consequences of any previous booking (including terms relating to fees, disclaimers, liability and damage).
    5. In the event that:
      • this Agreement is terminated by you and existing bookings cannot proceed under clause 12.1 (eg. because you sell the property to which the Parking Space is attached); or
      • this Agreement is terminated by us under clause 12.3 while there are existing bookings;
      then you will be fully liable to us (under the terms of this Agreement) for all associated costs, charges, damage and liability which we may incur as a result and you agree to indemnify us on a continuing basis in respect of any such canceled booking.
