Parking Stall Permit Agreement

1. The Agreement. This document constitutes the Parking Stall Permit Agreement (“this agreement”).

1. This agreement is in respect of bookings made through the ParkChamp app or website and in respect to the granting of permits to use Parking Stalls as made to you by the Owner of the Parking Stall, as made available by ParkChamp (“ParkChamp”). ParkChamp provides the online marketplace platform known as “ParkChamp” that facilitates the management, booking of, payment for and access to parking stalls (“Service”).
2. This agreement is between the driver (“Driver”) who has booked a parking stall through the Service and the entity (“Owner”) who listed the parking stall, including the parking lot, garage or parkade in which the parking stall is located (“Parking Stall”). Both parties understand and agree a parking permit (“Parking Stall Permit”) is created and is binding (i) at the time of booking through the Service between the Driver and Owner for hourly or daily parking; or (ii) as part of the Service offered for monthly and tenant parking management; all on the terms of this Parking Stall Permit until the booking ends or the term of your parking contract with the Owner expires. ParkChamp is an intended third party beneficiary of this agreement but it shall have no obligations to the Driver or the Owner under this agreement.
3. The Owner agrees to allow Drivers to access the Parking Stall or property (i) in accordance with the applicable booking for hourly or daily parking made through the Service in respect of such Parking Stall; or (ii) in accordance with the Service offered for monthly and tenant parking management in respect of such Parking Stall.
4. The Driver agrees that they are responsible for ensuring they use the Parking Stall in accordance with the terms set out in this agreement. The Owner similarly agrees to comply with this agreement.
5. Once a Parking Stall Permit has been issued to a driver upon booking or as part of tenant parking management, the Owner authorizes the Driver to use and occupy the Parking Stall specified in the Parking Stall Permit during the entire time specified as issued and as displayed through the Mobile App or Website (“Booking Period”) or as communicated to you by ParkChamp or the Owner.

2. Cancellation, Refund and Overstay Policies

1. Both parties acknowledge and agree that ParkChamp facilitates all bookings and payments for Parking Stall Permits. Each of Driver and Owner agrees that the Cancellation, Refund and Overstay Policies set out at [https://parkchamp.ca/agreements/cancellation-refund-overstay-policy.html], as may be updated by ParkChamp from time to time, shall apply to all Cancellations, Refunds And Overstay that affect a Parking Stall Permit.

3. Start and End of the Booking Period

1. The exact times and dates for the Booking Period for each Parking Stall Permit are set out through the Service at the time of booking or as part of tenant parking management. For monthly parking, each parking permit will begin as of the 1st of the month and continue to be renewed on a monthly basis until cancelled under the terms described in the Cancellation, Refund and Overstay policies. For tenant lease obligated parking, each parking permit will begin on the date specified under the terms of your lease agreement with the Owner and will only be cancellable under those terms specified in your lease.
2. The Driver agrees they will not park in the Parking Stall prior to the start of the Booking Period.
3. The Driver agrees they will vacate the Parking Stall and cease using the Parking Stall by the  end of the Booking Period.

5. The Driver similarly agrees that they are solely responsible for ensuring that only the vehicle matching the license plate they used at the time of booking and as permitted under this agreement, is used to park in the Parking Stall. The Owner and/or ParkChamp may verify that a registered Driver has parked in their space by confirming the license plate of the Driver. The Driver accepts that ParkChamp may provide additional details of the Driver to the Owner upon request.
6. The Driver agrees not to access any other part of the property to which the Parking Stall is attached save as expressly permitted herein or as otherwise explicitly allowed by the Owner (for example, the property is accessible by the public generally or the Driver is an existing tenant of the building). The Driver agrees that they are solely to access the property for the purposes of parking and retrieving their vehicle.

h. park solely at their own risk and hold Owner harmless from any harm that may arise to them, their vehicle or any other property while accessing or using any Parking Stall or the property where the Parking Stall is located.

5. Owner obligations

1. Although the Driver has primary responsibility for their own safety and the safety of their vehicle at all times, the Owner will not deliberately do or omit to do anything which will or is likely to put the Driver's vehicle or persons at risk.
2. The Owner will make reasonable commercial efforts to ensure the Parking Stall is properly and fully described in the ParkChamp listing in the Service by providing ParkChamp with the correct details of the Parking Stall and in particular if the Parking Stall is not suitable for certain types of vehicles of Drivers (i.e. height restrictions, small car stalls, electric vehicle charging).

CANCELLATION, REFUND AND OVERSTAY POLICIES

Terms used in this policy have the same meaning as  given to them in the Parking Stall Permit Agreement [https://parkchamp.ca/agreements/parking-stall-permit-agreement.html].

1. Cancellation Policy

1. For daily, hourly, and on-demand parking there is no cancellation option for the Driver after the Booking Period has begun or after the time the Driver has parked. Cancellations for daily parking must be made by 11:59 PM on the day prior to the day of the Booking Period unless otherwise specified in the Parking Stall Permit. For any such cancellation, the Driver agrees there will be a non-refundable  charge of $1.36 per cancellation.
2. Cancellations for monthly parking must be made given one calendar month’s notice. For monthly parking, Drivers understand that they will be charged for the current month until the end of the following month.
3. Cancellations for tenant parking managed through the Service will be in accordance with the policy of the Owner as per the lease agreement.
4. If a daily, hourly, or on-demand Parking Stall is booked, but then goes unused by the Driver (and has not been cancelled by the Driver in accordance with section 1.1):

a. the Driver is not entitled to any refund; and

b. the Driver will pay the full rate for the booking.

5. If a Parking Stall Permit is issued to an hourly or daily Driver, the Owner may not cancel the booking or remove the Parking Stall from the system during the Booking Period even if such stall is not currently occupied.
6. If the Driver’s payment fails when payment is due, then ParkChamp may revoke access to and refuse the use of any Parking Stall to the Driver.

2. Refunds:

1. Refunds for cancellations completed in accordance with section 1.1 will typically be issued by ParkChamp within 48 hours of the cancellation, or as soon commercially reasonable after that.

3. Overstays

1. Without limiting any other right of ParkChamp or the Owner, any vehicle that overstays the applicable Booking Period may be towed at the Owner’s discretion and removed to such location as the towing company may determine. Neither ParkChamp nor the Owner are required to grant any assistance to the Driver in respect of recovery of any vehicle so towed other than to provide details of the towing company.

2. ParkChamp reserves the right to use the Service to track any additional time stayed in the Parking Stall by the Driver. Following the end of the Booking Period, failure by the Driver to exit the location with their vehicle in which the Parking Stall is located is deemed sufficient evidence of continued usage of that Parking Stall.  

3. The Driver agrees they will be liable to pay the full price for any fees or costs relating to overstaying the Booking Period in the Parking Stall. Such fees and cost will be charged automatically by ParkChamp to the credit card on file. The Driver will be liable to pay:

a. Any additional costs incurred by the Owner as a result of the overstay.

b. Any fees relating to the towing and impounding of the Driver’s vehicle.

c. Any additional parking fees in relation to their overstay which will automatically be charged through the Service, together with any additional fees for any related support, onsight dispatch, access request or aid in removing or accessing the vehicle or in relation whatsoever to managing the overstay of the Driver on behalf of the Owner.

4. The Driver is aware that in the event of an overstay in certain locations where access is restricted, the Driver may be prevented through the Service from accessing the property and their vehicle until the next day when such property is accessible. The Driver agrees they may still be charged and subject to towing as a result of this overstay.
