Your use of the information, materials, text, images and other content on the Site is subject to the terms and conditions below, which we may revise occasionally without notice.
Please read these terms and conditions carefully.
BY ACCESSING THE SITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE GENERAL WEBSITE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (THESE "TERMS AND CONDITIONS").
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, IMMEDIATELY STOP USING THE SITE AND DO NOT USE ANY WATT SHARE SERVICE, PARTICIPATE IN ANY PROGRAM OR PURCHASE ANY PRODUCT OR OTHER GOOD OR SERVICE OFFERED THROUGH THE SITE.
Services
Unless expressly stated otherwise herein, the services provided by Watt Share are limited to informing users of the location and potential availability of certain parking spots ("Parking Spots") and facilitating Reservations (as defined below) by displaying Parking Spots, processing Reservations and collecting fees on behalf of Licensors (as defined below). Any fees and/or consideration paid to Watt Share is paid to Watt Share in connection with these Marketing Services unless otherwise indicated. When Watt Share receives your payment, your obligation to pay the Licensor for the Reservation is fully satisfied; provided, that you will be responsible for any other charges to the extent you incur separate or additional costs outside the scope of Watt Share's services, including for Excluded Services, on-site at the Licensor's facility.
To be clear, Watt Share does not: (i) negotiate terms of licenses or settle disputes between users of the Site; (ii) provide a parking service; (iii) operate a parking lot or other parking facility; (iv) otherwise accept custody of motor vehicles; or (v) provide services other than the Marketing Services (collectively, "Excluded Services"). The Excluded Services are provided by Licensors who are neither our agents nor acting on our behalf and we have no responsibility whatsoever regarding the safety of persons or property in the Parking Spots or any facility where the Parking Spots are located through use of the Site. We are not responsible for any consequences arising from the Excluded Services, including, without limitation, consequences arising from not being able to park or delays associated with parking, road closures or changing traffic conditions. Although we do not guarantee the availability of a specific Parking Spot, if a booked Parking Spot is unavailable at your time of reservation, we will attempt to locate an alternative Parking Spot, provide you with a refund and/or otherwise resolve any issues in accordance with our standard customer support policies and procedures. The Marketing Services and Site are not intended for use by persons under the age of 13. If you are under 13, you may not use either the Marketing Services or the Site. You agree to comply with all applicable laws when accessing or using our Services, and you may only access or use the Services for lawful purposes.
Licensors; Licensor Terms and Conditions
Watt Share lists the Parking Spots on the Site and, as such, facilitates the reservation of Parking Spots ("Reservations") between users of the Site ("Licensees" or "you"), and the independent owners (ex. Homeowners, Landlords), lessors, managers or operators of the Parking Spots (the "Licensors"). Watt Share does not operate Parking Spots, or determine parking availability provided by Licensors. Watt Share makes every effort to provide accurate information regarding the Parking Spots listed on the Site, at times such information may become inaccurate and Watt Share shall not be liable for any such inaccuracy. In all cases, your utilization of a Parking Spot will be governed by Licensor's customer agreements or policies in place from time to time, including, without limitation, all terms and conditions related to the use of any Parking Spot, any payment terms and conditions and all rules and restrictions imposed by the Licensor on the relevant parking facility and/or Parking Spot, as each may be entered into or effected in accordance with the Licensor's standard operating procedures (the "Licensor Terms and Conditions").
By making a Reservation, you agree in all cases to abide by the Licensor Terms and Conditions. In connection with our provision of the Services, Licensors may represent and warrant to us that they have full authority to list the Parking Spots for Reservations. We are not responsible for confirming whether any such representation or warranty is true and correct, nor are we responsible if any such representation or warrant becomes inaccurate or incomplete prior to your use of a Parking Spot. In addition, Watt Share will never be responsible for any agreement or other arrangements between you and any Licensor, regardless of whether such agreement or other arrangements are related to your booking and use of a Parking Spot.

Fees and Payments
You are responsible for all charges, fees, duties, taxes, and assessments arising out of any Reservation, the use of a Parking Spot, the Marketing Services or the use of the Site. Your payment of such fees to Watt Share constitutes payment to the Licensor solely for purposes of making a Reservation. You agree that Watt Share may charge your credit card, debit card, or other payment mechanism selected by you and approved by Watt Share for all amounts due and owing in connection with your use of the Marketing Services, in accordance with the pricing and payment terms presented to you for such Marketing Services. Where applicable, you will be charged using the primary payment method designated in your User Account management page (i.e., credit card). unless an alternate payment mechanism is selected at the time of the transaction. You agree to permit Watt Share to use any updated payment method information provided by your issuing bank or the applicable payment network and to charge your current primary payment method by using the details of such payment method saved in our system, even if such payment method is declined. Where applicable, if your primary payment method expires, is invalid, or if charges to your primary payment method are unable to be processed for whatever reason, you agree that Watt Share may charge any other available payment methods saved to your User Account. Except as provided in these Terms and Conditions or when required by law, all fees paid by you are non-refundable and Watt Share may change the fees for any Marketing Services, including any Marketing Services billed pursuant to a Subscription (as defined below), at any time.
Watt Share partners with companies (such as Stripe) for payment processing. When you make a Reservation, you're also agreeing to the payment processor's terms of service (e.g., Stripe terms of service (currently viewable at https://stripe.com/us/legal/)).
Taxes and Overage Fees
In connection with facilitating your transaction, Watt Share will charge your credit card for the total price displayed at checkout, which includes the amount for your reservation of the Parking Spot(s), a fee retained by Watt Share for providing its services in facilitating the Reservations (if applicable), additional fees that may be applicable to certain reservations, and all anticipated applicable taxes. Watt Share, at its discretion, retains a service fee as compensation for facilitating reservations and for providing Marketing Services. For certain transactions, Watt Share may charge a service fee that is an amount paid to Watt Share for your use of the Watt Share Marketing Services and for Watt Share's processing of your Reservation as set forth in these Terms and Conditions. The amounts paid to the Licensors in connection with your reservation include all anticipated applicable taxes for the Parking Spot(s). The Licensors are responsible for remitting applicable taxes to the applicable taxing jurisdictions and Watt Share is not a vendor collecting and remitting taxes to the applicable taxing authorities nor a co-vendor associated with the vendor with whom Watt Share customers are submitting the reservation for the Parking Spots, unless Watt Share has, in its sole discretion, decided to do so on behalf of Licensors in a specific jurisdiction. If you are required by law to withhold any Taxes from your payments to Watt Share, you must provide Watt Share with an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support such payments. Unless otherwise stated, any overage fees incurred by you will be billed in arrears on a monthly basis. Overage fees which remain unpaid for 30 days after being billed are considered overdue. Failure to pay overage fees when due may result in the applicable service being limited, suspended, or terminated (subject to applicable legal requirements), which may result in a loss of your data associated with that service.
Cancellations and Refunds
Reservations purchased through the Site are cancellable in accordance with (a) Watt Share's cancellation policy in effect at the time of booking and as more fully described at (as may be updated by Watt Share from time to time) ("Cancellation Policy") or (b) any specific cancellation policies or restrictions stated in the Parking Spot details on the Site or on your parking pass. In the event of any conflict between the Cancellation Policy and any statements in the Parking Spot details on the Site or your parking pass, the specific policies and restrictions in the Parking Spot details or your parking pass shall control. Following the start of the Reservation, all Reservations are non-refundable, regardless of your use or non-use of the Reservation and regardless of any circumstance surrounding the use or non-use of a Reservation (i.e., traffic or weather delays, cancellation of a related event). If, for whatever reason, an error occurs in regard to any fee for Marketing Services, a Reservation, and/or a Parking Spot, Watt Share may, in its sole discretion, void a Reservation related to that error and refund appropriate monies paid in connection therewith.
Watt Share may from time to time partner with third parties ("Partner"), and Reservations purchased on Partner websites are not refundable for any reason.
Disputed Charges and Reversals

You are responsible for and agree to reimburse us for all reversals, claims, fees and other liability or expense incurred by us that were caused by payments that you authorized or accepted.
