The range of services offered by Parkmo

The Parkmo Service is a digital platform designed to help companies manage their resources, including workstations, meeting rooms, and parking spaces. It offers tools for setting up and managing these resources, as well as integrations with third-party services like Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Slack and Zoom to simplify the booking process.

State of the Art and Innovation of the Service and Service Levels

Because of the nature of the internet, Parkmo cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the Parkmo Service. To address capacity limits, maintain the security and integrity of servers, or perform necessary maintenance, Parkmo may restrict the availability of the service or certain areas or features. Parkmo may also improve, enhance, modify the service, and introduce new services from time to time.

State of the Art and Innovation of the Service
Parkmo guarantees that the services comply with applicable law and the current state of the art and will adjust the Services to reflect any changes in these requirements.
Service Levels
Parkmo provides the services on an 8/5 basis and guarantees an annual availability of 97% for the services on a SaaS basis (average per year). This does not include times when the server cannot be reached due to technical issues beyond Parkmo's control (e.g., force majeure, third party negligence) or planned maintenance work, which is scheduled outside of the service period or announced in advance. Parkmo will make every effort to conduct maintenance work outside of the service period.

During the service period, Parkmo provides regular maintenance and support. If the Client becomes aware of any disruptions to system availability, they must report it to Parkmo without delay. If the client reports disruptions to system availability that result in a total failure of the service during the service period, Parkmo will ensure a response time of four hours from the beginning of the disruption. For minor errors that do not cause a total failure of the software and occur during ongoing operation, Parkmo will respond within one working day of receiving the error message. Additional support standards may be agreed upon by the client and Parkmo through individual service-level agreements, but these are not part of the Terms of service.

Parkmo will make every effort to schedule maintenance work for the service in a way that does not reduce the agreed-upon availability of the services, such as by providing sufficient backup capacity in its data centers.

How to use the Parkmo Service

To use the Parkmo Service or create a Parkmo Account, you must be an individual connected to the company that is using the Parkmo Service (such as an employee, visitor, or student), or a legally recognized business, organization, or other legal entity that is in good standing according to the laws of the country where it is based and can enter into legally binding contracts.

Parkmo may restrict access to or use the Parkmo Service or certain parts or features based on certain conditions or requirements. These include completing a verification process or meeting specific quality or eligibility standards.

To access certain areas or features of the Parkmo Service, you may need to comply with separate policies, standards, or guidelines or accept additional terms and conditions. In cases where there is a conflict between these Terms of Service and the terms and conditions that apply to a specific area or feature of the platform, the latter terms and conditions will take precedence unless otherwise stated.

Account Registration

To use the Service, the Client must register for a Parkmo Account and provide the required information on the registration form. The Client who registers for an Account represents and warrants that all the information they submit is accurate and that they will maintain the accuracy of this information.

As a Client, you can register for a Parkmo Account by using an email address and creating a password or by using your existing company credentials if this feature is enabled by the company (SSO). You have the ability to disconnect your Parkmo Account from your current company credentials at any time.

Suppose you are registering a Parkmo account for a Company. In that case, you must have the authority to legally bind the company and grant Parkmo all the permissions and licenses outlined in Terms of Service. The Company is responsible for ensuring that all its members (e.g., employees, contractors, and other service providers) comply with the Terms of Service.

The Clients are not allowed to register more than one Parkmo Account unless given permission by Parkmo. They also may not transfer their Parkmo account to another party.

The Client is responsible for keeping their Parkmo account login information confidential and entirely responsible for all activities under their account. They must immediately notify Parkmo if they suspect unauthorized account use or any other security breach. Parkmo authorizes no third party to ask for the Client's login credentials, and the Client must not request the login credentials of different Clients. Parkmo cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage resulting from the Client's failure to follow these requirements.

The Client can delete their Parkmo account anytime by following the instructions provided on the site or within the App. Parkmo may also terminate or suspend the Client's account according to the "Termination and Suspension" provisions.

The duties and obligations of the Company

Acknowledgments by the Company
The company agrees to the following:
  • to pay the required License fee as specified in these Terms of Service.
  • to allow Parkmo access to its facilities and technical infrastructure as needed for Parkmo to provide the Services.
  • to allow Parkmo to include their name and logo in Parkmo's customer list on their website and other online materials.
Fees and Payment
The Company's chosen package of features and the total number of Active Users will determine the monthly fee for using the Service. The prices for each feature per Active User are listed on the website, and include net prices and sales tax. The amount of the monthly payment for the Service will be based on the following factors, which will be displayed during the onboarding process:
  • the selected total number of Active Users
  • the selected features (e.g. Starter, Business, Enterprise)
  • any other additional functionality (e.g. custom integrations)

The company agrees to pay a fee for the service based on certain factors displayed during the onboarding process. The company has the option to pay this fee on a monthly or yearly basis. The company will pay the price in advance for the entire contract period if it chooses annual billing. If they choose monthly billing, they will pay the fee in advance for each month of the contract period.

User licenses are purchased in packages, which are described at https://parkmo.io/pricing.

Suppose the cost of the service changes due to changes in the Service Parameters (such as more features or Active Users). In that case, Parkmo will bill the difference between the advance payment already made and the higher price on a pro-rata basis until the end of the contract year. Suppose the price category of the version decreases due to changes in the Service Parameters (such as fewer features or Active Users) during the billing period. In that case, the Company is not entitled to a pro-rata refund of the advance payment already made.

The provisions of these Terms of Service also apply to the separate SaaS-Agreement for companies that choose the "Enterprise" service package, unless the parties agree otherwise.

Termination

The contract for the use of the Parkmo Service will have a minimum term of one year for yearly billing or three months for monthly billing. After the minimum term expires, the contract will automatically be extended for additional periods of one year or one month, respectively, unless the company gives notice of termination at least two months prior to the beginning of the next extension period for yearly billing or one month for monthly billing.

Client Content

Parkmo allows Clients to create their own content, such as text, photos, audio, video, booking confirmations, acceptances to formal or informal meetings, and messages or other materials and information. Additionally, Clients can view other clients' content and any content that Parkmo provides on or through the Parkmo service, including proprietary Parkmo content and content licensed or authorized for use by or through Parkmo from a third party.

The Parkmo Service and the Collective Content, which includes user-generated content, may be protected by intellectual property laws such as copyright and trademark. The Client acknowledges and agrees that the Parkmo Service and Parkmo Content, including all related intellectual property rights, are the exclusive property of Parkmo and/or its licensors or authorized third parties. They may be the property of their respective owners. The Client must not alter, obscure, or remove any proprietary rights notices associated with the Parkmo Service or Collective Content. Any trademarks, service marks, logos, trade names, and other proprietary designations used on or in connection with the Parkmo Service and/or Collective Content are for identification purposes only.

The Client is not allowed to use, copy, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, license, sell, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, broadcast, or otherwise exploit the Parkmo Service or any Collective Content, except in cases where the Client owns such content or if expressly permitted in these terms of service. No additional licenses or rights are given to the Client under any intellectual property rights owned or controlled by Parkmo or its licensors, except for the licenses and rights explicitly granted in these Terms of Service.

Subject to the Client's compliance with these Terms of Service, Parkmo grants the Client a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, revocable, non-transferable license to:
  • Download and use the Mobile and Web Application on the Client's mobile and other devices.
  • Access and view any Collective Content made available on or through the Parkmo Service and access to the Client solely for the Client's personal and non-commercial use.

The Client is responsible for all content that they make available on or through the Parkmo Service and ensures that it does not infringe on any third party's intellectual property rights, or violate any laws or regulations. The Client also warrants that they have the necessary rights, licenses, consents, and releases to make the content available to other clients as allowed under the terms of service.

Parkmo reserves the right to remove or disable access to any Client Content that it determines to be in violation of these Terms of Service or Parkmo's current policies, or that may be harmful or objectionable to Parkmo, its clients, third parties, or property, without prior notice.

Intellectual Property

The name 'Parkmo', the Parkmo logo, and all related names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks owned by Parkmo. The Client is not allowed to use these marks without obtaining prior written permission from Parkmo.

Parkmo respects the intellectual property of others and asks that those that use the Service do the same. The following text describes the steps that must be taken by someone who believes that another user of the Service is infringing their copyrights through the use of the Service, and the information that must be provided in a written notification to Parkmo in order to request the removal of the allegedly infringing material and the termination of the infringing user's account in appropriate circumstances: If you believe that another user of the Service is unlawfully infringing your copyrights through the use of the Service, and you wish to have the allegedly infringing material removed, you must provide a written notification to Parkmo with the following information
  • a physical of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;
  • identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
  • identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Parkmo to locate the material;
  • your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and an email address;
  • a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  • a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please note that if a written notification includes false information or is made in bad faith, the complaining party may be held responsible for damages, costs, and legal fees incurred by Parkmo in relation to the notification and claim of copyright infringement.

Prohibited Activities

As a client, you are responsible for ensuring that you comply with all laws, regulations, and third-party agreements that apply to your use of the Parkmo service. You must not, and must not help or enable others to, break any laws or agreements, misuse or abuse the Parkmo platform or its content, engage in discriminatory or harmful behavior, transmit any false or misleading information, or use the platform for unsolicited commercial messages. You must also respect the intellectual property rights of others and not use the Parkmo service or its content for any unauthorized commercial purposes or in a way that dilutes, tarnishes, or otherwise harms the Parkmo brand. Additionally, you must not use any automated means or processes to access or collect data from the platform, attempt to bypass any technological measures implemented to protect the platform, or take any actions that could damage the performance or functioning of the platform. Finally, you must not export, re-export, import, or transfer the platform except as permitted by German law and other applicable laws.

The client agrees that Parkmo may, at its discretion, monitor or review their use of the service, as well as any client content, to operate and improve the service, preventing fraud and risk assessment, investigating violations of the terms of service, complying with legal requirements, addressing harmful or objectionable content, or for other reasons specified in terms of service. The client also agrees to assist and cooperate with Parkmo in investigating their use of the service.

Suppose the Client believes that another Client is misbehaving, including engaging in offensive, violent, or sexually inappropriate behaviour, stealing from them, or engaging in disturbing conduct. In that case, the Client should immediately report the behaviour to the appropriate authorities and then to Parkmo. The Client understands that any report they make does not require Parkmo to take any specific action (beyond what is required by law).

Termination and Suspension

The Terms of Service will be practical as long as the client uses the Parkmo service. Parkmo reserves the right to suspend or terminate the terms of service and the client's right to use the service at any time for any reason. The client can delete their account anytime through the settings or by contacting Parkmo through email at [email protected].

Upon the termination of the Client's Parkmo account, their access to and use of the Parkmo service will end immediately.

If a company decides to delete its Parkmo account, any other Parkmo accounts that are linked to it will also be deactivated.

If the Client cancels their Parkmo Account, they will not be able to regain access to it or any content that they had previously uploaded to the service.

Parkmo may take specific actions, such as obscuring, deleting, or delaying the display of Client Content or limiting a Client's access to or use of the Parkmo Service, if it is necessary to comply with legal requirements or to protect the personal safety or property of Parkmo, its Clients, or third parties, or to prevent fraud or other illegal activity. These actions may be taken if the Client has provided inaccurate, fraudulent, outdated, or incomplete information, has breached these Terms of Service or applicable laws and regulations, or has infringed on the rights of third parties. Parkmo may also suspend a Client's Parkmo Account temporarily or permanently if necessary.

If Parkmo takes any of the aforementioned actions, the Company will not be entitled to reimbursement for any previously paid fees for the use of the service.

If the Client's access to or use of the Parkmo Service has been restricted or their Parkmo Account has been suspended or terminated by Parkmo, they are not allowed to create a new Parkmo Account or access and use the Parkmo Service through the account of another Client.

Disclaimers

The Parkmo Service and related content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, and Parkmo does not make any express or implied warranties or conditions about their reliability, suitability for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The company cannot guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that it will meet the user's requirements or be accurate, reliable, free of viruses or harmful code, complete, legal, or safe. The company also cannot ensure that any booking subjects provided through the service will meet the user's requirements or be safe or suitable for their intended use. Any warranties required by law are limited to a duration of 90 days from the date of first use. These disclaimers apply to the fullest extent allowed by law. In some jurisdictions, some or all of these exclusions may not be permitted, and in others the duration of implied warranties may not be limited.

Limitation of Liability

Parkmo is not responsible or liable for any negative experiences or harm that may result from the actions of other individuals using the platform. Parkmo does not perform background checks on its users, and does not guarantee the accuracy of user profiles or account information. Parkmo is not involved in any disputes that may arise between users, and does not have any responsibility or obligation to participate in resolving these disputes. Parkmo is also not responsible or liable for any loss or damage resulting from transactions, communications, or interactions with other users on the platform, or from the quality or suitability of any booked service. In the event of any legal action, Parkmo's maximum liability will be limited to 100 EUR. Some jurisdictions may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain types of damages, so this limitation may not apply in all cases.

Indemnification

The Client will be responsible for covering any claims, losses, damages, costs, or expenses incurred by Parkmo as a result of the Client's violation of these Terms of Service or use of the Parkmo Service, including Client Content, Booking Subjects, unauthorized use of the Parkmo Service's content, services, and products, use of information obtained from the Parkmo Service, or negligence or misuse of the Parkmo Service or a Booking Subject.

Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

The terms of these agreements, including their creation and validity, will be governed by German law without regard to conflict of laws or international conventions. This includes any issues related to the formation, validity, invalidity, binding nature, implementation, amendment or addendum, breach or termination of the agreements. The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes related to these terms or their subject matter, including issues of formation, validity, invalidity, binding nature, implementation, amendment or addendum, breach or termination, will be in Munich, Germany.

We appreciate and value your input and ideas for improving the Parkmo Service, and we welcome you to share any feedback you have.

Entire Agreement

The Client and Parkmo's entire agreement regarding the use of the Parkmo service is contained in the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, any relevant Order Form, and the SaaS Agreement. These documents replace any previous written or oral agreements or understandings about the use of the Parkmo service.

General Provisions

The Terms of Service are only intended to apply to the Client and Parkmo, and do not provide any rights or remedies to any third party.

If any part of these Terms of Service is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. If this happens, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be replaced with a valid and enforceable one that is as close as possible to the original provision regarding its economic impact and meaning. If a gap in the agreement becomes apparent, the same process will be followed.

If we do not enforce or exercise any of the rights or provisions listed in the Terms of Service, it does not mean that we have waived those rights or provisions.

The Client acknowledges that they are not permitted to assign, transfer, or delegate this agreement or their rights and obligations under it without prior written consent from Parkmo. However, Parkmo has the right to assign, transfer, or delegate this agreement and any rights and obligations under it at its own discretion. The Client's ability to terminate their Parkmo account at any time remains unchanged.

Unless otherwise specified, any notifications or other communication between Parkmo and its users that are permitted or required by these terms of service will be provided electronically, such as through email, service notifications, or messaging services (including SMS). The date of receipt will be considered the date on which Parkmo transmitted the notice.

Time Limit for Filing Claims

You must file any legal action relating to these Terms of Service or the Parkmo Services within one year of the incident giving rise to the claim, or your claim will be barred. If the applicable law has a shorter time limit for filing such claims, that shorter time limit will apply.
