2. NATURE OF PARK ME'S SERVICES

PARK ME provides a technology platform enabling:

Drivers to:

search for parking
view available Parking Spaces
compare pricing
view parking information
reserve Parking Spaces
make electronic payments where applicable
receive location and navigation information
manage current and historical Bookings
communicate with Hosts where enabled

Hosts can:

create Parking Listings
identify Parking Spaces on a map
establish availability
set pricing
offer Spaces free of charge
receive and manage Bookings
provide parking instructions
receive payouts
manage parking inventory

Unless expressly stated otherwise for a specific Parking Space, PARK ME does not itself provide parking services.

PARK ME ordinarily acts as a technology marketplace connecting Drivers and Hosts.

The contract governing physical use of a Parking Space is between the Driver and the relevant Host, subject to these Terms and any booking-specific conditions.

PARK ME may facilitate that transaction but is not ordinarily a party to the Host's ownership or possession of the property.

3. NO TENANCY, LEASE OR PROPERTY INTEREST

A Booking grants the Driver only a limited, temporary and revocable contractual permission to park the registered Vehicle in the designated Parking Space during the Booking Period.

A Booking does not create:

a tenancy
leasehold interest
easement
licence coupled with an interest
exclusive possession
ownership interest
property right
right of residence
right of occupation
any continuing right over the property

The Driver shall not claim any tenancy, possession, easement or other property right as a result of any Booking.

The Driver must vacate the Parking Space immediately at the end of the Booking Period.

4. ELIGIBILITY

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding contract under Indian law to create an account or make a Booking.

Drivers must hold any licence, registration, permit or authorization legally required to operate the relevant Vehicle.

Hosts must possess legal authority to make the Parking Space available.

Where you use PARK ME on behalf of a business, organization, apartment association, company, partnership, property manager, parking operator or other entity, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity.

5. USER ACCOUNTS

Certain features may require registration.

You agree to provide complete, accurate and current information.

This may include:

You shall not:

By listing a Parking Space, the Host represents and warrants that:

the Host owns, controls or is validly authorized to manage the Parking Space

Where the Host is a tenant, property manager, employee, security contractor, facility manager, apartment resident or other non-owner, the Host is solely responsible for obtaining required authorization.

8. HOST RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOCAL LAWS

Hosts are responsible for determining whether local rules permit the Parking Space to be commercially or non-commercially shared.

This may include compliance with:

municipal regulations
development authority regulations
fire-safety requirements
building rules
apartment association rules
RWA rules
traffic regulations
commercial-use restrictions

Repeated Host cancellations or unavailable Parking Spaces may lead to penalties or suspension.

12. FREE PARKING LISTINGS

hourly rates
daily rates
flat rates

PARK ME may support Host-controlled or algorithmically suggested pricing.

Prices may vary based on factors such as:

location

Hosts remain solely responsible for the legality of any enforcement measure they undertake independently.

28. ABANDONED VEHICLES

A Vehicle may be treated as potentially abandoned where it remains beyond the Booking Period for an unreasonable period and the Driver cannot be contacted.

PARK ME may assist Hosts in attempting to contact the Driver.

Any subsequent removal or reporting must be handled in accordance with applicable law.

criminal acts

30. PARKING DOES NOT CONSTITUTE BAILMENT

Except where a particular Parking Space expressly provides a valet or custody service, the arrangement is intended to provide physical parking space only.

Neither PARK ME nor the Host takes custody, possession or control of the Vehicle merely because the Vehicle is parked at the location.

Drivers retain possession and responsibility for the Vehicle.

31. KEYS

Drivers should retain their keys unless a Listing expressly provides an authorized key-handover or valet service.

PARK ME does not ordinarily receive or hold Vehicle keys.

32. HOST ACCESS TO VEHICLES

Hosts shall not enter, move or operate a Driver's Vehicle unless:

expressly authorized
reasonably necessary in an emergency
permitted by applicable law

33. PAYMENTS

Paid Bookings may be processed through third-party payment providers.

Supported methods may include:

UPI
credit cards
debit cards
net banking
wallets
other supported payment instruments

Payment options may vary.

PARK ME may not directly store complete card credentials.

RBI restrictions generally prevent entities in the card transaction chain, other than permitted issuers/networks, from storing actual card-on-file data, subject to the applicable regulatory framework.

34. PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION

By submitting payment, the Driver authorizes the applicable Payment Service Provider to process the amount displayed at checkout.

A Booking may not be completed if payment authorization fails.

35. PAYMENT FAILURES

Payments may fail due to:

insufficient funds
bank restrictions
UPI failure
gateway timeout
card authentication failure
network failure
fraud checks
technical issues

A payment deduction from a Driver's account does not necessarily mean a Booking has been confirmed.

The Platform's Booking status shall determine confirmation.

Duplicate or failed-payment reconciliation will be handled according to applicable banking and payment-system processes.

36. PLATFORM FEES

PARK ME may charge fees including:

service fees
convenience fees
transaction fees
Host commissions
subscription fees
listing fees
promotional fees
other charges

Applicable charges will be disclosed as required.

the Host dashboard

pricing page
onboarding documentation

38. HOST PAYOUTS

Host Payouts may be made after:

completion of a Booking
expiry of a settlement period
validation of payment
deduction of applicable fees and taxes
fraud/security checks

PARK ME may delay payouts where reasonably necessary for:

disputes
refunds
suspected fraud
chargebacks
regulatory requirements
incomplete KYC
incorrect bank details
investigation

39. TAX DEDUCTIONS

PARK ME may deduct or collect tax where required by law.

Depending on the ultimate transaction and payment model, Indian tax provisions applicable to electronic-commerce operators may become relevant. CBIC guidance states that an electronic-commerce operator may have TCS obligations under Section 52 of the CGST Act where consideration for taxable supplies made through the platform is collected by the operator.

PARK ME may therefore:

collect GST TCS where legally required
deduct income-tax withholding where legally required
request PAN/GSTIN information
issue applicable tax statements
report transactions to authorities where legally required

40. HOST TAX RESPONSIBILITY

Hosts are responsible for determining their individual tax obligations.

Prices may be inclusive or exclusive of GST depending on the nature of the charge and the supplier.

PARK ME will display applicable tax treatment where required.

The Host remains responsible for GST applicable to the underlying parking service where the Host is legally the supplier, unless applicable law provides otherwise.

PARK ME is responsible for GST applicable to its own Platform Fees to the extent required.

42. INVOICES

PARK ME may issue:

Platform Fee invoices
Booking receipts
payment receipts
settlement statements
Host payout statements

Where the Host is legally responsible for issuing a tax invoice for the underlying parking supply, the Host remains responsible for compliance unless PARK ME has expressly agreed to issue it on the Host's behalf.

43. CANCELLATIONS BY DRIVERS

A Booking may be subject to a cancellation policy displayed before purchase.

The policy may vary depending on:

Parking Space
duration
booking type
event
Host policy
advance-booking period

Any applicable cancellation charge shall be displayed as required.

Indian e-commerce rules prohibit imposing cancellation charges on consumers where equivalent charges are not borne by the e-commerce entity if the entity itself unilaterally cancels the transaction for the relevant reason.

44. HOST CANCELLATIONS

Hosts should not cancel confirmed Bookings except where reasonably necessary.

Where a Host cancels, PARK ME may:

issue a full refund
assist the Driver in finding an alternative space
charge Host penalties
reduce Listing ranking
suspend the Listing
terminate the Host account

45. REFUNDS

Approved refunds will ordinarily be returned to the original payment method where feasible.

Actual credit timing may depend on:

issuing bank
UPI provider
card network
Payment Service Provider
applicable payment rules

Refunds shall be processed within legally applicable timelines.

46. NO-SHOWS

A Driver who fails to use a confirmed Booking may not automatically be entitled to a refund.

The applicable cancellation/no-show policy displayed at Booking will apply.

47. PARKING SPACE UNAVAILABLE ON ARRIVAL

If a confirmed Parking Space is genuinely unavailable when a Driver arrives, the Driver should immediately contact PARK ME support and provide reasonable evidence.

PARK ME may:

attempt to contact the Host
find an alternative Parking Space
issue credit

Host communications
other evidence

If a Vehicle is damaged at a Parking Space, the Driver should:

preserve evidence
photograph the damage
contact the Host
contact PARK ME
contact the appropriate insurer
contact authorities where appropriate

PARK ME may assist with records but is not an insurer.

51. INSURANCE

PARK ME does not provide Vehicle insurance or property insurance unless expressly specified.

Hosts are responsible for determining whether their insurance permits parking-related commercial activity.

Drivers are responsible for maintaining legally required Vehicle insurance.

52. ACCIDENTS AND PERSONAL INJURY

PARK ME may cooperate with law-enforcement authorities where legally required.

53. SECURITY FEATURES
