Parker is not a tenant of Owner and has not been granted exclusive possession of the Parking Space.

Parking Space Listings

As a registered user, you may create Parking Space listings (“Listings”). To create a Listing, you will be asked a variety of questions about the Parking Space to be listed, including, but not limited to, the location, capacity, size, features, dates of availability, length of rental period (“Rental Period”) and pricing and related rules and financial terms. In order to be featured in Listings through the Services, all Parking Space locations must have valid physical addresses. Listings will be made generally available through the Services. Other registered users will be able to book your Parking Space through the Services based upon the information provided in your Listing.  In order to create a Listing, you must be the owner or exclusive tenant of the Parking Space.  Upon creation of a Listing, Company may request Owner provide proof of ownership or possession of the Parking Space, including but not limited to, requesting Owner submit a utility bill in the Owner’s name for the physical address of the Parking Space.  Company reserves the right to remove any Listing where Company cannot verify Owner’s claim of ownership of the Parking Space.

If your Listing is set for automatic booking, you acknowledge and agree that the bookings will be done automatically and you will not have the ability to review and accept or reject the Parker at any time.

You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for any and all Listings you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Listing you post and the booking of a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, such as homeowners association, condominium, lease or rental agreements, and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws (such as zoning laws), tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Parking Space, and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties. We assume no responsibility for an Owner’s compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations. We reserve the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason.  Company disclaims any responsibility for the legitimacy of Owner’s Listing and Owner agrees to indemnify Company and Parker for liability and damages resulting from any Listing created by mistake or by fraud.

We recommend that Owners obtain appropriate insurance for their property. Please review any insurance policy that you may have for your property carefully, and in particular please make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Parkers and their invited guests while on your property.

After booking of the Parking Space is complete, we will send a confirmation email and or text message to each of Parker and Owner providing details of the parking reservation.

Parker acknowledges and agrees that the Parking Space is someone else’s property and Parker will not access any other part of the property to which the Parking Space is attached, except as reasonably required to access the Parking Space.

Parker is responsible for obtaining and maintaining vehicle insurance that meets or exceeds the requirements of applicable laws. No insurance is provided by Company or Owner.

Parker is responsible for returning the Parking Space and surrounding area to Owner as Parker found it, excluding normal wear and tear. Parker will indemnify and hold harmless Owner against all loss, liability, damages, costs and expenses arising out of Parker’s use of the Parking Space and surrounding area, except to the extent that such loss, liability, damages, costs or expenses are caused by the negligent acts or omissions of Owner.

No commercial use or activity is permitted. Parker will not allow any other person or vehicle to occupy the Parking Space at any time during the Rental Period. If anyone other than the named Parker attempts to use the Parking Space, or if anyone attempts to park a different vehicle in the Parking Space during the Rental Period, Owner has the right to refuse access to the individual and the vehicle.

Payment.

As a Parker, you understand and agree that use of the Services will result in payments by you for the reservation of parking spaces from an Owner, and as an Owner, you understand and agree that use of the Services will result in a periodic subscription fee payable by you based on your Listings, as provided on the Company website (collectively, “Charges”). For Parkers, we will facilitate payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Owner, as the Owner’s limited payment collection agent, using the preferred payment method designated in your Account, and will send you a receipt by email. Payment of the Charges by a Parker in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Owner. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes, where required by law, charges and fees. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by us. Long-term reservations may require a deposit, automatic payments, or ongoing payments, as set forth in the Listing.

All Charges are due immediately. If your primary Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that we may, as the Owner’s limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in your Account, if available.

We reserve the right to establish, remove, or revise fees that we charge to Owners or Parkers for use of the Services at any time in our sole discretion (“Fees”). We will use reasonable efforts to inform you of Fees that may apply, provided that you will be responsible for Fees incurred under your Account regardless of your awareness of such Fees or the amounts thereof.

We may from time to time provide certain users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different Charges or Fees for the same or similar Services, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Services or the Charges or Fees applied to you.

This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the Owner for the services provided. Following the Rental Period, you will have the opportunity to rate your experience and leave additional feedback about the Parker, Parking Space, and Owner, as applicable.

Taxes

Tax regulations may require us to collect appropriate tax information from our Owners, or to withhold taxes from payouts to Owners, or both. You as a Owner are solely responsible for keeping the information in your tax forms current, complete and accurate. If you as an Owner fail to provide us with documentation that we determine to be sufficient to alleviate our obligation (if any) to withhold payments to you (e.g. where you fail to provide us with a completed IRS Form W-9), we reserve the right in our sole discretion to withhold such amounts as required by law and terminate your Account.

If, as an Owner, you earn more than $600 (or another amount proscribed by relevant tax authorities) from the rental of your Parking Space(s), we will send you a year-end IRS Form 1099 reflecting the amount earned. You may be required to pay income taxes based on the amount of income you received from the rental of your Parking Space(s). You as an Owner understand and agree that you are solely responsible for determining (i) your applicable tax reporting requirements, and (ii) the taxes that should be included, and for including taxes to be collected or obligations relating to applicable taxes in Listings. You are also solely responsible for remitting to the relevant authority any taxes included or received by you. We cannot and do not offer tax-related advice to any users. You agree that we may seek additional amounts from you in the event that the taxes collected or remitted are insufficient to fully discharge your obligations to the applicable tax authority

Cancellations and Refunds

All cancellations must be made through the Service and in accordance with the applicable cancellation policy. We will not be responsible or liable for refunding any amounts or modifying any Listings or cancellations other than as provided herein.

If an Owner cancels a confirmed booking made through the Services, (i) we will refund the Charges and Parker’s Fee for the reservation to Parker within a commercially reasonable time of the cancellation, and (ii) Parker may receive an email or other communication from us containing alternative Listings and other related information.

If, as an Owner, you cancel a confirmed booking, we may apply penalties or consequences to you or your Listing, including (i) publishing an automated review on your Listing indicating that a reservation was cancelled, (ii) keeping the calendar for your Listing unavailable or blocked for the dates of the cancelled booking, or (iii) imposing a cancellation fee (to be withheld from your future payouts). You will be notified of the situations in which a cancellation fee applies before you decide to cancel.

A Parker cannot cancel an existing and paid for reservation. Charges and Fees are non-refundable.

Repair or Cleaning Fees

You shall be responsible for the cost of repair for damage to, or necessary cleaning of Owner’s property or Parker’s vehicle, as applicable, resulting from your use of the Parking Space in excess of normal “wear and tear” damages (“Repair or Cleaning”).

Both Owners and Parkers agree to cooperate with and assist us in good faith, and to provide us with all information and take the actions as we may reasonably request, in connection with any complaints or claims made by users relating to Owners, Parkers, Parkers’ vehicles, or any personal or other property located at or around a Parking Space or in a vehicle or with respect to any investigation undertaken by us or our representatives regarding use or abuse of the Services.

The Services may permit you to link to and otherwise interact with third party resources on the Internet: you do so at your own risk. The Service may allow you to post geolocation data and other information to these Third Party Services. We don’t control these websites or applications. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such content, goods or services available on or through any Third Party Services.

User Disputes and Dispute Resolution.

We are not responsible for your interactions with other users. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between users. Any dispute between you and another user must be resolved between yourselves as follows:

The parties agree that if any dispute arises between Owner and Parker related to the Parking Space, Owner’s property, Parker’s vehicle or otherwise, the parties will attempt to resolve such dispute through direct communications for a period of 30 days. Any agreement reached between the parties may be paid directly by one party to the other or directed to Company to facilitate payment. Company will not make any payments hereunder without a signed, written agreement between the parties. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved directly it is agreed that either party may take whatever legal action it deems necessary and appropriate.

Any dispute between users shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Parking Space is located, including its conflicts of law rules. The parties to the dispute agree that any dispute between them arising from or relating to the Parking Space or rental thereof shall be governed by the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts of the county and state in which the Parking Space is located.

Disputes with Company and Dispute Resolution

For any dispute between you and the Company:

You agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration between you and the Company, except that each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that you and the Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and the Company otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Unless you and the Company otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and the Company submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section below as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the modification-related provisions above, if the Company changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by providing us written notice of such rejection by mail or hand delivery to: Dock, Inc [11927 Gorham Ave Unit 102 Los Angeles, CA 90049], or by email from the email address associated with your Account to: [admin@dock.bot], within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last update” date above. In order to be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this “Dispute Resolution” section. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and the Company in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms). For greater clarity, your access to the Services for purposes of reviewing updates to these Terms will not be deemed an acceptance of the updated Terms for purposes of rejecting the Dispute Resolution provision as contemplated herein.

Release of Claims Against Company.

Owner and Parker each hereby fully and forever release Company and its partners, employees, attorneys, agents, successors, representatives, shareholders, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliated companies and assigns, jointly and severally (collectively, the “Company Parties”), and hereby fully and forever discharge and agree to hold the Company Parties harmless from and against any and all claims and causes of action, in law or in equity, disputes, suits, debts, liens, rights, contracts, agreements, acts, promises, liabilities, obligations, demands, damages, losses, costs, fees (including, without limitation, those of attorneys) and expenses, of whatsoever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which exist, may have existed or which may in the future exist between Owner or Parker on the one hand and the Company Parties, or any of them, on the other hand in connection with this agreement.

Waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542. Owner and Parker each hereby understands and agrees that the general release of the Company Parties set forth above extends to all claims of every nature and kind, whether now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which exist, may have existed or which may in the future exist. With respect to such release, Owner and Parker each expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”
