We strive to provide the most user friendly and efficient way of finding parking. Your use of the website and mobile app (collectively, the “Site”) are subject to the terms and conditions below, which may be revised from time to time without notice. Please check the Terms and Conditions periodically for changes. These terms and conditions govern your use of the information, materials and documents made available to you though the Site, including the Members Area and other tools provided for Hosts.

What We Do and What We Do Not Do

Parklinq connects people looking to rent parking (“Drivers”) with people or businesses who have parking to rent (“Hosts”). The service provided by Parklinq is limited to: (i) informing Drivers of the location and potential availability of parking, and (ii) providing Drivers the ability to book parking. The allocation of parking spaces within a lot is solely in the control of the Hosts or lot attendant or uncontrolled if not attended. We therefore cannot be responsible for any consequences arising from the lack of suitable parking. In all cases, the parking arrangement as between Drivers and Hosts is governed by rules of the parking facility as posted at the location or as otherwise provided to Drivers by the Hosts.

For clarification, Parklinq does not:​

  • Provide valet service, operate a parking lot or otherwise accept custody of motor vehicles. While that service may be provided by others, these third parties are in no way our agents or acting on our behalf.
  • Accept any responsibility whatsoever regarding the safety of persons or property in the locations selected by our customers.
  • Warrant that the Internet, our website or any email from us is free of 'viruses' or other potentially harmful effects.
  • Endorse the use of cell-phones while driving.
  • Guarantee the availability of a specific parking spot in the location you selected; however we will attempt to locate an alternative parking spot or provide you with a refund.
  • Assume any responsibility whatsoever for the consequences of not being able to park or delays associated with parking.
  • You may not use robots or other automated means to access this Site, unless specifically permitted by Parklinq.

Please be aware that even if you do not give us your real name, your Web browser transmits a unique Internet address to us that can be used by law enforcement officials to identify you. Fraudulent users will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Terms and Conditions Related to Drivers

Parklinq does its best to ensure that the parking booked through the Site will be ready for arrival. In the event that a booked parking spot is not available upon arrival of the Driver, then an alternative parking spot or a 100% refund will be issued. Claims for refunds must be made within 24 hours of the reservation start time. In order to assist Parklinq with evaluating the claim for refund or other dispute, photographs are recommended.

Drivers who book parking through the Site must present the Parklinq parking pass included with the booking to use the reserved parking spot on the day of the reservation if the Host or facility requires it. Drivers are responsible for ensuring they arrive at their booked parking location. Parklinq is not responsible for road closures, weather delays, changing traffic conditions, or any other circumstances outside of Parklinq’s control.

The parking booked is valid only for the times listed on the parking pass. Drivers can enter at any time after the start time listed on the Parklinq reservation and depart at any time prior to the end time listed on the reservation. Drivers may extend the time of their reservation as long as the reservation is still active and inventory is still available by calling Parklinq customer support.

BE AWARE, ANY TIME SPENT PARKED OUTSIDE OF THE 15 MINUTE GRACE PERIOD PROCEEDING THE RESERVATION WITHOUT EXTENDING THE TIME IS SUBJECT TO A $35 “OVERSTAY FEE” FROM Parklinq IN ADDITION TO A TICKET OR TOW FROM THE Host.

Resale of Parklinq parking passes is absolutely prohibited. In addition to other legal remedies, Parklinq may terminate a Driver’s account and ban the Driver from further use of the Site for violations of these terms.

Cancellations

Parking booked through the Site is fully refundable up to 5 minutes before the start of the reservation unless noted otherwise (“Cancellation Deadline”). Drivers can cancel their booking for any reason before the Cancellation Deadline. Hosts will not be charged any fees for canceled bookings. Except for disputes as settled in accordable with these Terms and Conditions, all bookings are non-refundable after the Cancellation Deadline.

Pricing

All parking prices on Parklinq.com are set directly by the Host, not Parklinq.

Terms and Conditions Related to Hosts

Members Area

Subject to the terms and conditions, Parklinq hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use the Members Area and the information Parklinq provides or makes available to you in connection therewith, solely for internal business purposes. You will not (and will not permit any third party to) make any use or disclosure of the information found in the Members Area that is not expressly permitted under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, you will not (and will not permit any third party to): (i) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discern the source code, algorithms, file formats or interface protocols of the Members Area or of any files contained in or generated by the Members Area; (ii) copy, modify, adapt or translate the Members Area, (iii) resell, distribute or sublicense the Members Area, make the Members Area available on a “service bureau” basis, or otherwise allow any third party to use or access the Members Area, (iv) remove or modify any proprietary marking or restrictive legends placed on the Members Area; or (v) use the Members Area in violation of any applicable law or regulation. As between Parklinq and you, Parklinq retains title to and ownership of the Members Area and all information found therein, including all copyrights and other intellectual property rights relating thereto. You will have no rights with respect to the Members Area other than those expressly granted under this Agreement.

Fulfillment

By listing parking for booking on Parklinq, the Host agrees to honor any parking sold. All information provided in the Parklinq listing must be accurate. If the Host cannot fulfill the parking space or false information about the parking is provided, Parklinq will hold the Host liable to reimburse the Driver for their expense. Note: It is illegal to sell parking that you do not own, including street parking. Violation will result in immediate termination of your Parklinqaccount. Parklinq maintains the right to request proof of ownership to verify your authority to sell parking at a particular location.

Payment

Parklinq collects the parking reservation fees from Drivers and then distributes the fee to the Host, less transaction, service and processing fees, taxes, and commissions, which are subject to change at any time. Payment will be issued by Parklinq to Host through debit card, electronic bank transfer, or check at the Host’s request, and will be processed in no more than 10 business days after the reservation time.

Taxes

Hosts are responsible for determining and paying any and all taxes (other than Parklinq’s income tax) or duties associated with the sale of the services and reservations, such as State of Hawaii General Excise Tax, state and federal income tax, and any related penalties or interest (collectively, "Taxes"). Each Host’s tax situation is different and we recommend that you consult a tax professional to determine your tax liability.
Hosts must keep a current phone number on file with Parklinq for each parking location listed on the Site. This number will not be shared with Drivers, but rather is so that Parklinq is able to contact Host in the event a problem arises with the parking spot.

Making Adjustments

Hosts authorize us to withhold payment or charge their credit card account any amount owed to Parklinq if: (a) a sale is cancelled for any reason; (b) a refund is made to a Driver due a problem with the parking spot; (c) we reasonably believe that a Host has committed fraud or other illegal act or omission during any buying or selling activity; or (d) Host provides incorrect or misrepresented parking and/or parking related services for any booking or portion thereof.

Contact Information

The Drivers name, vehicle license plate number, and contact information is provided to the Host for the sole purpose of ensuring the parking reservation is fulfilled and may not be used by the Host for any other purpose.

PARKLINQ reserves the right to cause any vehicle to be towed that is parked or operated in any area or manner other than as expressly authorized hereunder.

Disputes Over Parking Availability

All claims by Drivers against Hosts regarding unavailability of reserved parking spots will be resolved by Parklinq, in its sole and absolute discretion. If we resolve a dispute in the Driver’s favor, we will refund the Driver for the cost of the parking, and we will require the Host to reimburse us for the refund. False reports made by Drivers may result in account termination.
Claims of parking unavailability where the Host is found at fault will result in a $20 fee to cover chargebacks and other associated bank charges in addition to reimbursement to Parklinq of the refund to the Driver. Parklinq may terminate a Host’s account if a Host is found to be repeatedly at fault for parking unavailability.
