A.4. Payments (this Section A.4. is applicable to Parkers)

PT Services provided to Parkers

We will not charge you for your access to and use of the PT Services. Therefore, we provide you with our Services free-of-charge.

Also, to use our PT Services you will not be required to purchase other products or services. Whether you will use our application to facilitate your payment for the use of parking services provided by POs, is entirely upon your discretion.

We remind you that when accessing the PT Services through a mobile network, the fees and rates of your network or roaming provider will apply.

 

Payment to PO for use of parking services

You may use our application to facilitate your online payment for use of parking services.

Your payment will be to the benefit of the PO who provides you with the parking service. You are encouraged to get well acquainted with the general terms, terms of use, payment terms or other contractual terms that may apply to your agreement with the PO. Such PO terms may be accessible online or may as well be posted on the street, in front of the parking area or inside the parking facility itself.

Remember: we do not provide parking services and do not own or operate parking lots or facilities. You will enter into a direct contract with the PO for your use of the POs’ parking lots and facilities.

You understand that the use of PT Services may result in charges (“Fees”) for you for the services you receive from the PO, who is a third party provider.

PT is not a payment service provider, nor a payment initiation service provider, nor an account information service provider, nor a payment institution’s agent.

As part of our PT Service we provide technical services, which support the provision of payment services, but do not provide payment services ourselves.

At no time PT receives data about your credit or debit card or other payment methods (with the exception of the last four digits of your card, which remain in our system). In order to facilitate the payment of your Fees we may process certain encrypted data (token) to the payment service provider who will contact your card issuer (e.g., your bank) in order to finalize the transaction.

Payment

Before or after you have received a service from a PO, as the case may be, PT may facilitate your payment of the applicable Fee to the PO.

Parking Card – if you have used your parking card (a functionality of your account in our application) to book or check-in a parking, we will send the relevant data (PO, parking time, amount of Fees) directly associated with your parking card, to the responsible payment service provider(s) to perform the payment transaction.

Ticket – if you have obtained a ticket when entering the parking, you will be able to scan the ticket with your mobile device and the data we retrieve through the use of our application will facilitate sending the necessary information to the responsible payment service provider(s) to perform the payment transaction.

You may be required to click the “Pay” or “Continue” or other button in the payment section of our application which permits PT to send the relevant data to the responsible payment service provider.

When you use our application to perform a Fee payment to a PO, you are providing an authorisation to the PO and the involved payment service providers (for example, your bank and the PO’s bank) to process your payment and complete the transaction.

If your transaction involves a currency conversion, it will be completed at a foreign exchange rate determined by your credit or debit card issuer.

The Fees will include all relevant or applicable taxes, where required by law. The Fees paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by PO or applicable legislation.

You will have the opportunity to review your payment details (including but not limited to your details, the PO’s details, the parking service details, the amount of the Fee) before you confirm payment of the Fee.

All Fees are due immediately, after which PT will send you a receipt by email and/or will store such receipt into your “history” part of your account.

While not necessary for registering and having an account, if you want to pay the PO through our application, you will provide to the payment service processor at least one valid payment method (a credit or debit card or accepted payment partner). You agree to provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information, including a valid credit/debit card details and represent that you are authorized to use the payment method provided.

If applicable and available, payment of the Fees to the PO will be performed by means of secure online payment (all to the extent offered and supported by your bank). Payment is safely processed from your credit/debit card or bank account to the bank account of the PO through a third party payment processor and/or provider.

In the cases where you perform direct payment with your credit/debit card on an unattended payment terminal situated at the parking, we may support the process by sending to the payment terminal information on the parking time used, if you have used your parking card to check-in/check-out.

You understand and agree that you have to leave the parking not later than the check-out time or the time you have pre-paid for (in case you have pre-paid via our marketplace for a specific period of time). If you leave your vehicle for a longer period, you understand that the PO is entitled to make you leave in a manner consistent with applicable law, including by removing / repatriating your vehicle. You agree that PT may, from time to time, act as limited collection agent for the PO (applicable to marketplace), and as such may request from you to pay any additional amount incurred as a consequence of your failure to remove your vehicle on time. Such an additional amount, as claimed by a PO, might include, but are not limited to, the cost of having a third-party service remove your vehicle, compensation paid to subsequent parking bookings that were unable to use the parking space, or parking fines.

In case you have successfully booked and/or pre-paid for a parking service, and the respective PO fails to provide you such parking service, you will be entitled to seek a refund of the amounts pre-paid. You will be prompted what information/evidence you will need to provide in case you wish to initiate a refund procedure, available in the “history” part of your account. Our support team will try to facilitate technically the resolving of your claim.

These Terms apply in case you are a Parking Owner / Operator. If you are a parker, please follow the link to Section A for specific terms applicable to parkers.

These Terms apply in case you are a legal entity or an individual (natural person).

If you are an individual, please note that nothing in these Terms is intended to affect your rights under the law in your usual place of residence.  If there is a conflict between those rights and these Terms, your rights under applicable local law will prevail.

 

B.2. Contract between You and Us (this Section B.2. is applicable to POs)

This is a contract between you (as an individual or a legal entity) and Parking Telecom Labs EOOD (“we”, “us” or “PT”). PT is a company established under the laws of Bulgaria, with its registered office at 80, Hristofor Columb Blvd., office building Astral Business Center, fl.5, office 5.1., 1592 Sofia, Bulgaria, with VAT number BG 203737877, registered with the Bulgarian Registry Agency’s Trade Register under UIC 203737877, represented by its managing directors.

You must read and agree to these Terms before using the PT Services. If you do not agree, you may not use the PT Services.

These Terms describe the limited basis on which the PT Services are available and are related only to our marketplace.

In case we have a separate written agreement with you for other services PT provides to you and in case of discrepancy between these Terms and our specific written agreement, the terms in our specific written agreement shall apply to the relations between us. These Terms shall only serve as a supplement to our specific written agreement, to the extent they do not contravene with it.

We may immediately terminate this contract with respect to you (including your access to the PT Services) if you fail to comply with any provision of these Terms.

We have the right to discontinue providing the PT Services in part or as a whole at any time.

 

B.3. The PT Services (this Section B.3. is applicable to POs)

The PT Services are intended to facilitate you to provide your parking services to parkers via our marketplace.

The PT Services constitute a technology marketplace that enables registered users who own or otherwise legally operate a parking place (Parking Owners/Operators or simply “PO” or “POs”) to offer such parking place for temporary paid use to users of PT’s mobile applications or websites who want to find and use a parking place (“Parkers”).

By using the PT Services you (as a PO) will be able to list your parking on our marketplace and offer it to Parkers. You will be able to define and announce the parking fees applicable to your parking, the working hours of your parking, information whether your parking is reserved or not and other notices and information, as you may be allowed by PT Services from time to time. You will also be provided with limited technical support by us, through the Help section of the marketplace or as indicated in your account, and during normal business hours. As part of the PT Services we will facilitate your receipt of the parking fees paid by Parkers for your provision of parking services to them, decreased with our fee (see further below regarding fees).

You understand and acknowledge that we and PT Services only facilitate the entering of direct relations between you, as a PO, and the Parkers. You are solely responsible for the parking services you provide to Parkers. We do not provide parking services and do not function as a PO. We do not own, create, sell, resell, distribute, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any parking services to Parkers either on our own or on behalf of you. When a Parker books, pre-pays, pays, requests, confirms, uses your parking services, you enter into a contract directly with the Parker. PT is not and does not become a party to any contractual relationship between POs and Parkers and otherwise between participants in the marketplace. PT has no control and does not guarantee the performance or conduct of any Parker or third party.

If you choose to use the PT Services as a PO, your relationship with PT shall be limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of PT for any reason, and you shall act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of PT.

 

Use of the PT Services

The PT Services are provided on our marketplace through our website (web portal). Some limited features may be accessible without registration. Such features could include, but are not limited to, access to general information on the marketplace.

Account: Generally, in order to use the PT Services, you will have to register and maintain a user account. During registration process, for the purposes of entering into this contract with you and in order to create your account we shall collect information about you or the legal entity you represent. The registration process is accessible online on our website.

During registration process you will disclose your contact and other information (for more details see our Privacy Statement) and will upload certain documents, as prompted. We reserve the right to check whether the information you provide to us is valid (for example, whether you provide a valid email address, telephone number, etc.) We shall bear no liability in case the provided by you information violates third party rights, trade marks or other intellectual property.

Your password, together with your email address will enable you to access your account and use the PT Services. You are responsible for taking reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of your email address and password, and you are responsible for all activities under your account that you can reasonably control. You agree to promptly notify us of any unauthorized use of your email address, password or other account information, or of any other breach of security that you become aware of involving your account or the PT Services.

In case you forget your password we will send to your email address a link that will enable you to reset your password.

Each parking you list on the marketplace will be attributed a 5-symbol zone number (“zone number”). For the purposes of this agreement between you and PT, “parking” shall mean the designated place / lot / space / spot where one vehicle can be parked. Payment for parking services by Parkers shall be linked to the specific zone number of your parking.

You will be entitled to list more than one parking on the marketplace and each of such parkings will be attributed a unique zone number. We will give you the opportunity to upload information about your listed parking(s) that will help Parkers find and use your parking services, such information being for example address and/or coordinates of your parking, photo, designated name, working hours, accessibility, other helpful information on conditions, entry, exit and similar hints that may be of benefit for the Parkers.

You will be entitled to use the PT Services only with regard to the parking(s)s you have listed on our marketplace.

You will be entitled to enjoy the PT Services only after we have successfully boarded you and your parking(s) on the marketplace, i.e. you have provided the required information and documents and they are in line with the guidelines given during registration process. The successful boarding of yourself and your parking(s) is administered by our support personnel who confirm and activate the parking listing upon finalization of the process.

The security, integrity and confidentiality of your information are extremely important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures that are designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use and modification. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Statement (link).

In the process of provision of PT Services, PT may transfer to you some data about the Parkers that could be treated as personal data, for example registration plate number, time of check-in and check-out; pre-payment details and other. You hereby agree to use such Parkers’ data solely for the purpose of performing your parking services, complying with all applicable laws on personal data protection, including by having in place appropriate technical and organizational measures for protection against unauthorized use of such data.

You agree to maintain accurate, complete and up-to-date the information contained in your account. You agree not to transfer or assign in any other way your account to any third party. You agree to comply with all applicable laws when using the PT Services, and you may only use the PT Services for lawful purposes. Using the PT Services, you agree not to cause nuisance, annoyance, inconvenience, or property damage, whether to the Parkers or any other third party.

Your account represents a separate part of PT marketplace, containing information about the registered user, provided during the registration process and in the process of using the PT Services and stored on a server of PT. Through your account you may use the different PT Services, update the data provided during registration or later on, change password, discontinue your account and use of PT Services, etc. Through your account you will also be able to request technical support from us.

Our marketplace will provide a technical possibility for communication between Parkers and POs (communication channel), subject to consent by the participating parties.

If you are a legal entity, you will accept these Terms either by your legal representative or by an authorized proxy. You will be required to prove this by uploading certain documents to your account, for example certificate of good standing, power of attorney, etc.

B.4. Payments (this Section B.4. is applicable to POs)

PT Services

Our fees – acceptance and amounts

We will not charge you for the mere creation of account on our marketplace or listing a parking thereon.

However, we shall charge you a commission fee for each payment you receive from a Parker for parking services provided by you and pre-paid or paid via our marketplace.

We will notify you about the amount of the commission fee we will charge you once you list your parking(s) on the marketplace. In case you do not agree to the amount of such fees, you will be entitled to simply un-list your parking(s), deactivate your account or otherwise not use the PT Services.

If you accept the amount of our fee, however, we will have the right to withdraw it from the fee you receive from the Parker. For your comfort, remember that you will have the right at any time to discontinue using the PT Services.

Our fees may be formed as a percentage of the parking service fee you receive from the Parker or as a lump sum. If and as required by applicable law, we will accrue value added tax or other similar taxes, as the case may be, and will increase our fee with the amount of such tax. On a monthly basis (or such other period that may be imposed under applicable law) we will issue a document to you on the fees for PT Services we have received from you and the taxes charged by us in this regard. All invoices or other documents issued by PT shall be under the requirements of the Bulgarian or other applicable legislation.

 

Our fees – payment

Once a Parker has pre-paid or paid for the use of your parking services via our marketplace, we shall withhold from such amount the amount of our fee (plus any applicable taxes thereon). So, you will receive the payments from the Parkers who have used your parking(s) decreased with our fee for your use of the PT Services.

You will receive the respective payments upon your initiation or request, under the condition that the amount you have to receive exceeds a certain predefined threshold. We shall also be entitled to enable or trigger the forwarding of such payments to your designated bank account, at our discretion.

We will be responsible to cover the fees of the marketplace’s payment service provider. You will be responsible to cover the fees of your bank (the bank servicing your bank account), if any.

PT reserves the right to deduct any foreign currency processing or conversion costs, if such would be associated with any payout to you.

PT will be entitled, at its sole discretion, to round up or round down any amount that is payable to you to the nearest whole number in the denominated currency.

 

Payments of Parkers for use of your parking services

Parkers will be required to pre-pay or pay for the use of your listed parking at the tariff you have posted on the marketplace.

You are responsible for posting an accurate tariff on the marketplace and we will bear no responsibility in case you have posted a number/figure/digit by mistake or technical error.

Your posted tariff should represent the final and only amount a Parker will be required to pay for using your parking services. You should indicate also the currency in which you expect a payment from the Parkers. If you, as a PO, are required to accrue a tax on the parking service fee, make sure such tax is included in your tariff. Note that the Parkers will be informed that the fees they will pay will include all relevant or applicable taxes, where required by law.

The payment from the Parker will be to your benefit, for using your parking service. As set forth above, we will withdraw our commission fee for your use of the PT Services from the Parker’s payment designated to you.

PT is not a payment service provider, nor a payment initiation service provider, nor an account information service provider, nor a payment institution’s agent.

As part of our PT Service we provide technical services, which support the provision of payment services, but do not provide payment services ourselves. The payment processing services shall be provided in alliance with a licensed payment service company.

We may act as your limited payment collection agent for the purposes of facilitating collection of your parking service fees from Parkers and you hereby appoint and authorize PT to act as your limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the parking service fees from Parkers.

You hereby agree that a payment made by a Parker via our marketplace shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to you, and you will make your parking available to the Parker in the agreed-upon manner as if you have received the parking service fee directly. As a PO you understand that as PT accepts payments from Parkers as your limited payment collection agent, PT’s obligation to make a payout to you is subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the associated payments from the Parkers.

You hereby agree and authorize PT to withhold PT’s commission fee for your use of PT Services (and any applicable tax incurred thereon) from the amounts paid by Parkers for using your parking.

In case a Parker has booked and/or pre-paid the use of your parking and you fail to provide to the Parker the booked or pre-paid parking service, we will refund to the Parker any amounts pre-paid. You agree and hereby authorize us to refund the associated amounts to the Parker and to deduct them from any current or future payouts we make to you.

You will be able to inform us about a claim related to payment through your account and we will try (although we shall not be obliged to do so) to support technically its resolving.

Disclaimer

The PT Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We disclaim all conditions, representations and warranties not expressly set out in these Terms.

In addition, PT makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee regarding the reliability, timeliness, quality, suitability, or availability of the PT Services or any services requested through the use of the PT Services, or that the PT Services will be uninterrupted or error-free.

Limitation of liability

PT shall not be liable to you or other persons for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, including lost profits, lost data, personal injury, or property damage related to, in connection with, or otherwise resulting from any use of the PT Services, even if PT has been advised of the possibility of such damages. PT shall not be liable for any damages, liability or losses arising out of your use of or reliance on the PT Services or your inability to access or use the PT Services; or any transaction or relationship between you and any Parker or other third party provider, even if PT has been advised of the possibility of such damages. PT shall not be liable for delay or failure in performance resulting from causes beyond PT’s reasonable control.

PT’s services may be used by you to promote and offer your parking or parking related services to Parkers, but you agree that PT has no responsibility or liability to you related to the use or misuse of any parking services provided by you via our marketplace other than as expressly set forth in these Terms.

These disclaimers and limitations do not affect your rights as a consumer or purport to limit liability that cannot be excluded under the law in your usual place of residence, in case you are a natural person.

 

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold PT and its officers, directors, employees, and agents harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), arising out of or in connection with your use of the PT Services or services obtained through your use of the PT Services; your breach or violation of any of these Terms; PT’s use of your User Content; or your violation of the rights of any third party, including Parkers or third party providers.

Further, you agrees to indemnify and hold PT and its affiliates, and each of their respective employees and officers, harmless from any demands, loss, liability, claims or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), made against PT by any third party arising out of or in connection with the Parkers’ use of your parking services, including the inability of the Parker(s) to use your parking services, or the Parkers’ dissatisfaction from using your parking services.

We shall not control or verify your User Content. Further, we are not responsible in any way for such User Content, including for any use, interpretation or conclusions you or the Parkers or third parties may make of it. Any use or reliance on the User Content or materials posted via the PT Services or obtained by you through the PT Services is at your own risk.

Under no circumstances will PT be liable in any way for the User Content, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in the User Content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of the User Content posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available via our marketplace. You control and bear responsibility for the generation and use of the User content within or outside our marketplace.

Any User Content provided by you remains your property. However, by providing User Content to PT, you grant PT a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferrable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise exploit in any manner such User Content in all formats and distribution channels now known or hereafter devised (including in connection with the Services and PT’s business and on third-party sites and services), without further notice to or consent from you, and without the requirement of payment to you or any other person or entity.

You represent and warrant that: you either are the sole and exclusive owner of all User Content or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases necessary to grant PT the license to the User Content as set forth above; and neither the User Content nor your submission, uploading, publishing or otherwise making available of such User Content nor PT’s use of the User Content as permitted herein will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.

You may not submit or upload User Content that is defamatory, harassing, threatening, bigoted, hateful, violent, vulgar, obscene, pornographic, or otherwise offensive or that harms or can reasonably be expected to harm any person or entity, whether or not such material is protected by law. PT may, but shall not be obligated to, review, monitor, or remove User Content, at PT’s sole discretion and at any time and for any reason, without notice to you.

We are not responsible for, and do not endorse or guarantee, the opinions, views, advice or recommendations posted or sent by users.

 

Unsolicited Idea Submission Policy

Our company policy does not allow us to accept or consider unsolicited creative ideas, suggestions or materials.  In connection with anything you submit to us – you agree that creative ideas, suggestions or other materials you submit are not being made in confidence or trust and that no confidential or fiduciary relationship is intended or created between you and us in any way, and that you have no expectation of review, compensation or consideration of any type.

We, including our affiliates and employees, do not accept or consider unsolicited ideas or suggestions from you in order to avoid any potential misunderstandings or disputes in the event that PT Services seem similar to unsolicited ideas submitted to PT. Unsolicited ideas or suggestions include, but are not limited to, ideas for new or improved technologies, products, services, processes, materials, names, artworks, or advertisements, promotions, or other marketing plans or campaigns.

As PT respects your rights to your ideas, please do not submit any unsolicited ideas or suggestions (“submissions”) in any form to PT or any of its affiliates or employees. If you still choose to submit any unsolicited ideas or suggestions despite our request, regardless of what your communication regarding your submissions says, the following terms shall apply to your submissions:

You agree that your submissions and their contents will automatically become the property of PT, without any compensation to you; PT has no obligation to review your submissions; PT may make, use, sell, or distribute your submissions and their contents for any purpose in any way; and PT has no obligation to keep your submissions confidential.

PT has its headquarters in Sofia, Bulgaria and is supported by various affiliated group companies (the “support companies”) throughout the world. The support companies only provide an internal supporting role to and for the benefit of PT. Certain designated support companies render limited customer care support services. The support companies do not have any website (and do not in any way control, manage, maintain or host the PT marketplace, website and application(s)). The support companies do not have any power or authority to render the PT Services, to represent PT or to enter into any contract in the name of, for or on behalf of PT. You do not have a (legal or contractual) relationship with the support companies. The support companies do not operate and are not authorised to act as any form of process or service agent of PT. PT does not accept nor assume any domicile at any place, location or office in the world (also not at the office of its support companies), other than its registered office in Sofia, Bulgaria.
