3. Using your Account
Purpose:
You can use the Account to pay for parking at any parking facility that uses the PayByPhone service. You can access account balances and review your recent account history on our web site. Currently, charges to the Account are made by the facility operator and not by PayByPhone.

Use of Account, Password, PIN and your Cell Phone:
During the process of opening an Account you will enter a confidential Personal Identification Number (PIN) which activates the Account. You will also provide us with the telephone number of your phone which will provide access to the Account. The Account and PIN are provided for your use and protection. You agree:

• Not to disclose the PIN and not to record it on your phone or otherwise make it available to anyone else.
• To use the Account, the PIN and your phone as instructed.
• To promptly notify us of any loss, unauthorized use or theft of your Account, PIN.
• You are liable for any transactions made by a person you authorize or permit to use your Account and/or PIN. If you permit someone else to use the Account, we and the facility operator will treat this as if you have authorized this person to use the Account and you will be responsible for any transactions initiated by such person with the Account

4. Pricing, Payment and Refunds
Payments shall be made in the currency of the country where the parking facility is located. Prices paid shall be at the price posted at the parking facility on the date of service plus a service charge determined by PayByPhone. Charges by PayByPhone may be changed as described below.

Each time you use the Account, the amount of the transaction, including applicable taxes and service charges, will be charged to the credit card used to open the Account. We will inform you of the amount to be charged for a particular transaction. You authorize PayByPhone to charge your credit card for such amounts each time the service is used. 

If you have any questions about a refund or other similar issue, please contact the appropriate Customer Care Center.

5. Service Charges
You agree that the fees and service charges included in the transaction cost confirmed before you start parking apply to the Account and may be charged to the Account. You authorize us to initiate any such charges to the Account as applicable.

A chargeback fee of $15.00 may be assessed if an attempt to charge your Account is rejected for insufficient funds available on your credit card, for cancellation of your credit card or otherwise. 

6. Verification of Transactions
Details of your transactions will be available in real time on your online statement on our web site. You agree that we may provide a periodic statement and any other notices here under electronically via our web site. Statements provided electronically will describe each transaction using the Account during the statement period. Your statement will be available to you in electronic format for viewing and printing online at http://www.PayByPhone.com. You may review one year’s worth of transactions online at any time. In the event that you elect to revoke consent to receive statements electronically, we reserve the right to terminate the Account.

7. Failure to Complete Transactions
We and the facility operators accept no liability to complete any transaction which cannot be cleared by our payment processor, whether because there are not sufficient funds available on your credit card or otherwise.

Neither we nor any of the facility operators we have relationships with will be liable to you for any failure to accept or honor the Account.

8. PayByPhone is NOT a Parking Company
PayByPhone provides a service to enable your payment for parking at certain facilities. PayByPhone does not own, operate or maintain parking facilities and is NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SUCH FACILITIES OR EVENTS THAT OCCUR AT SUCH FACILITIES. Parking facilities are operated by companies PayByPhone which has contractual relationships with, but PayByPhone is not responsible for actions taken by such companies.

9. Disclaimer of Service Level Guarantees and Warranties
NOTE THAT THIS SERVICE IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN SELECTED LOCATIONS AND MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES AT ACTIVE LOCATIONS. While we will endeavor to provide the best possible service, there are limitations to cellular and payment technologies which may cause interruptions in service. Please note that WE PROVIDE NO SERVICE LEVEL GUARANTEES WHATSOEVER concerning this service.

Unless the law provides otherwise, you waive and release us from any obligations that could arise due to defenses, rights and claims you have or may have against any third party on account of the use of the Account.

YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THIS SITE AND OUR SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PAYBYPHONE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

PAYBYPHONE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY PARKING FACILITY OR ITS OPERATION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

CERTAIN STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MIGHT HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

10. Refunds
We will make every attempt to deliver a high level of service at all times. If you think there has been a billing or accounting error, please contact the appropriate Customer Care Center listed at the end of this page. Our Customer Care Center will connect you to the facility operator for the facility whose charges resulted in the billing or accounting error. If you are entitled to a refund for any reason for services obtained with the Account, you agree to accept credits to the credit card used to open the Account in place of cash. We and the parking operators will not provide cash refunds.  

11. Loss, Theft or Unauthorized Use
You are responsible for all authorized uses of your Account. Applicable law may protect you from liability for unauthorized purchases. You understand that your Account is not a credit account and is not protected by laws covering credit accounts. 

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe that your Account has been used by an unauthorized person. Telephoning us is the best way to KEEP YOUR POSSIBLE LOSSES DOWN. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR PHONE HAS BEEN STOLEN, OR THAT SOMEONE HAS TRANSFERRED OR MAY IMPROPERLY CHARGE THE ACCOUNT WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION, CONTACT THE APPROPIATE CUSTOMER CENTRE OR EMAIL US AT support@paybyphone.com. IF YOU FAIL TO NOTIFY US PROMPTLY AND YOU ARE GROSSLY NEGLIGENT OR FRAUDULENT IN THE HANDLING OF THE ACCOUNT, YOU COULD INCUR ADDITIONAL CHARGES.

If your phone or credit card has been reported lost or stolen, we may close the Account to keep your and our losses down.

12. Notice Containing Information About Your Right to Dispute Errors
In case of errors or questions about electronic transactions on the Account, contact our Customer Care Center or email us at support@paybyphone.com as soon as you can, including if you think the statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction listed on the statement or receipt. Under most circumstances, we will connect you to the facility operator whose charges resulted in the error or transaction you have questions with. Disputes involving operators of parking facilities will be resolved pursuant to their procedures. 

For disputes that we (rather than a facility operator) are involved in, we must hear from you no later than 30 days after the transaction in question has been made available to you on the online statement.

The following information must be contained in that notice:

• Your name, user name and phone number or numbers used for the Account.
• Description of the error or the transaction you are unsure about and explanation as clearly as possible of why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
• The amount in local currency of the suspected error.

If you tell us verbally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.

Generally, we will tell you the results of our investigation within 10 business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 calendar days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will re-credit your credit card within 10 business days for the amount you think is in error so that you will have use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. Because we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing, if we do not receive written confirmation of your verbal notice within 10 business days, we will not re-credit your credit card.

If we decide there was no error, we will send you a written explanation within three business days, after we finish our investigation. You may ask for copies of documents that we used in our investigation.

13. Dispute Resolution and Confidential Arbitration
Any dispute relating in any way to the services offered by PayByPhone not resolved in accordance with the preceding Section 12 shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in Vancouver, British Columbia, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate PayByPhone’s intellectual property rights, PayByPhone may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any Provincial or Federal court in the Province of British Columbia, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Arbitration under this agreement shall be conducted under the rules then prevailing of the Canadian Arbitration Association conducted by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.

14. Disclosure of Account Information to Third Parties
From time to time, subject to any applicable financial privacy laws or other laws or regulations, we may provide information about you and the Account:

• In connection with collection of indebtedness or to report losses incurred by us.
• In compliance with any agreement between us and a professional, regulatory or disciplinary body.
