A. Operating Hours

ParkNCharge-listed parking facilities operate in accordance with the hours published at the time of Booking and/or displayed at the Provider premises. Unless otherwise specified for a particular Provider or location, the standard operating hours are: 08:00 AM — 06:00 PM local time. Providers may alter operating hours for specific locations; such changes will be published on the Platform and posted on-site where practicable.

B. Accepted Payment Methods

Providers shall accept payment by the methods made available at the point of payment and on the Platform, which may include: credit/debit cards, mobile payment applications, and POS terminals. ParkNCharge and Providers may add or remove payment methods from time to time; the available methods will be displayed at Booking and at payment stations.

C. Parking Rates and Grace Period

  • Grace Period: The first 15 (fifteen) minutes from your Entry Timestamp are a free grace period. To make use of the free grace period you must exit the facility within fifteen (15) minutes of your Entry Timestamp. Time is calculated from the Entry Timestamp recorded by the Provider’s system, parking gate, ticket machine, or Platform.
  • Paid Period: If you remain beyond the fifteen (15) minute grace period, paid parking rates apply in accordance with the rates displayed at the Provider’s payment stations or on the Platform at the time of Booking.
  • Rate Display: Providers shall display current parking rates prominently at payment stations and the Platform shall show applicable rates at Booking. ParkNCharge may, on behalf of Providers, update displayed rates; rate changes will apply prospectively unless otherwise stated.

D. User Responsibilities While On-Site

By using the parking facility you agree to the following obligations:

  • Free Grace Period Usage: Exit within the 15-minute grace period if you intend to benefit from the free period. Failing to exit within 15 minutes shall render the grace period inapplicable and parking charges will be payable.
  • Payment: If you stay beyond the grace period, you must pay applicable parking fees before exiting the premises where required by the payment procedure in place. Failure to pay may result in penalties or enforcement actions pursuant to Provider Terms.
  • Designated Spaces: Park only in designated parking bays. Do not occupy reserved, disabled, or signage-restricted spaces unless authorised.
  • Ticket/Receipt Display: If remaining beyond the grace period, you must display a valid parking ticket, receipt, or proof of payment visibly on your dashboard or as otherwise directed by Provider instructions while the vehicle is stationary on the premises. Electronic proof of payment presented via trusted app methods shall be accepted where the Provider so permits.
  • Compliance with On-Site Rules: Obey all posted speed limits, directional signs, and safety instructions at all times.
  • Vehicle Security: While we may take reasonable measures to ensure the security of our premises and property, ParkNCharge and Providers shall not be responsible for loss or damage to personal belongings and vehicles except where liability cannot be excluded under applicable law. You accept that vehicles are parked at the owner’s risk.
  • No Tampering: Do not tamper with ticketing machines, charging equipment, barriers, CCTV, or other Provider equipment. Tampering may constitute criminal conduct and will be reported to relevant authorities.

E. Enforcement, Penalties and Remedies

  • Additional Charges: Providers may impose additional fees or penalties for overstays, non-payment, parking in unauthorised areas, or failure to display tickets, in accordance with Provider Terms and applicable law.
  • Recovery Measures: Providers may use lawful recovery mechanisms for unpaid Fees, including civil recovery proceedings, immobilisation (clamping) or removal (towing) of vehicles where permitted by local law and where clearly signposted on the premises. ParkNCharge shall not be liable for costs or damage incurred by enforcement carried out lawfully by Providers.
  • Disputes: If you dispute any charge or enforcement action, you must raise the dispute with ParkNCharge and/or the Provider promptly and provide supporting evidence. ParkNCharge will investigate in good faith.

F. Modifications to Parking Terms

Providers and ParkNCharge may modify the Parking Terms (including operating hours, Accepted Payment Methods, and rates).
