Parking Spot Information

Parkola facilitates the reservation of parking spots ("Reservations") between those in need of parking (the "Licensees") and both Parkola and owners of independently owned and operated parking spots (the "Licensors") (collectively referred to herein as "you" or "users"). While Parkola makes every effort to provide accurate information regarding the parking spots listed on the Site, the decision to use the information provided on the Site about specific parking spots is yours alone and you assume the risk that the information provided is not accurate. With regards to third-parties, Parkola does not set the parking prices, operate the parking spots, determine parking availability or charge you for any parking fees, taxes or services provided. Parkola is not responsible for any consequences arising from not being able to park, delays associated with parking, road closures or changing traffic conditions. In all cases the parking arrangement will be governed by the agreement made between the Licensor and the Licensee as posted at the parking spot location or provided to the Licensee by the Licensor. By using our service, Licensors may represent and warrant to us that they have full authority to lease the parking spot they propose to license and that nothing in the Licensor's lease, deed, home owner's insurance or condo association covenants prohibits the Licensor from licensing their parking space. We are not responsible if any such representation or warranty is inaccurate or incomplete.
