General Provisions
1. Scope of Parkwell Services
1.1 The Parkwell Platform is an online marketplace that enables registered users (“Members”) and certain third parties who offer services (Members and third parties who offer services are “Park owners” and the services they offer are “Park Services”) to publish such Park Services on the Parkwell Platform (“Listings”) and to communicate and transact directly with Members that are seeking to book such Park Services (Members using Park Services are “Drivers”). Park Services may include the offering of parking spaces or other car related services ("Park"), hourly, daily or monthly activities in various categories (“Experiences”), access to unique events and locations (“Events”), and a variety of other related services.
1.2 As the provider of the Parkwell Platform, Parkwell does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Listings or Park Services. Park owners alone are responsible for their Listings and Park Services. When Members make or accept a booking, they are entering into a contract directly with each other. Parkwell is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Members. Parkwell is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member, except as specified in the Payments Terms.
1.3 While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, Parkwell has no control over and does not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings or Park Services, (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, Ratings, Reviews, or other Member Content (as defined below), or (iii) the performance or conduct of any Member or third party. Parkwell does not endorse any Member, Listing or Park Services. Any references to a Member being "verified" (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Parkwell about any Member, including of the Member's identity or background or whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. You should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to stay in a Park or use other Park Services, accept a booking request from a Driver, or communicate and interact with other Members, whether online or in person. Verified Images (as defined below) are intended only to indicate a photographic representation of a Listing at the time the photograph was taken, and are therefore not an endorsement by Parkwell of any Park owner or Listing.
1.4 If you choose to use the Parkwell Platform as a Park owner (as defined below), your relationship with Parkwell is limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venture or partner of Parkwell for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of Parkwell. Parkwell does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control you generally or in your performance under these Terms specifically, including in connection with your provision of the Park Services. You acknowledge and agree that you have complete discretion whether or not to list Park Services or otherwise engage in other business or employment activities.

Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by Parkwell of such Third-Party Services.
1.7 Due to the nature of the Internet, Parkwell cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the Parkwell Platform. Parkwell may restrict the availability of the Parkwell Platform or certain areas or features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the Parkwell Platform.

11.2 If a Park owner claims and provides evidence that you as a Driver have damaged a Park or any personal or other property at a Park ("Damage Claim"), the Park owner can seek payment from you through the Resolution Centre. If a Park owner escalates a Damage Claim to Parkwell, you will be given an opportunity to respond. If you agree to pay the Park owner, or Parkwell determines in its sole discretion that you are responsible for the Damage Claim, Parkwell via Parkwell Payments will, after the end of your stay, collect any such sums from you required to cover the Damage Claim pursuant to the Payments Terms. Parkwell also reserves the right to otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any remedies available to Parkwell in this regard in situations in which you are responsible for a Damage Claim, including, but not limited to, in relation to any payment requests made by the Park owner under Parkwell.
11.3 Members agree to cooperate with and assist Parkwell in good faith, and to provide Parkwell with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Parkwell, in connection with any Damage Claims or other complaints or claims made by Members relating to (i) Parks or any personal or other property located at the Park (including, without limitation, payment requests made under Parkwell), (ii) Experiences, (iii) a Group Payment Booking. A Member shall, upon Parkwell's reasonable request and at no cost to the Member, participate in mediation or a similar resolution process with another Member, which process will be conducted by Parkwell or a third party selected by Parkwell or its insurer, with respect to losses for which a Member is requesting payment from Parkwell (including but not limited to payments under Parkwell).
12. Rounding off
Parkwell generally supports payment amounts that are payable from or to Drivers or Park owners to the smallest unit supported by a given currency (i.e., Nigerian Naira or other supported currencies). Where Parkwell’s third-party payment services provider does not support payments in the smaller unit supported by a given currency, Parkwell may, in its sole discretion, round up or round down the displayed amounts that are payable from or to Drivers or Park owners to the nearest whole functional base unit in which the currency is denominated (i.e. to the nearest dollar, Euro or other supported currency); for example, Parkwell may round up an amount of ₦101.50 to ₦102.00, and round down an amount of ₦101.49 to ₦101.00.
13. Taxes
13.1 As a Park owner you are responsible for determining your obligations to report, collect, remit or include in your Listing Fees any applicable VAT or other indirect sales taxes, occupancy tax, tourist or other visitor taxes or income taxes ("Taxes").
13.2 Tax regulations may require us to collect appropriate Tax information from Park owners, or to withhold Taxes from pay-outs, or both. If a Park owner fails to provide us with the required documentation under applicable law (e.g., a tax number) that we determine to be sufficient to alleviate our obligation (if any) to withhold Taxes from payouts to you, we reserve the right to withhold payouts up to the tax-relevant amount as required by law, until resolution.
13.3 You understand that any appropriate governmental agency, department and/or authority ("Tax Authority") where your Park is located may require Taxes to be collected on Listing Fees, and to be remitted to the respective Tax Authority. The laws in jurisdictions may vary, but these Taxes may be required to be collected and remitted as a percentage of the Listing Fees set by Park owner.
13.4 In certain jurisdictions, Parkwell may decide in its sole discretion to facilitate collection and remittance of Occupancy Taxes from or on behalf of Drivers or Park owners, in accordance with these Terms ("Collection and Remittance") if such jurisdiction asserts Parkwell or Park Owners have an Occupancy Tax collection and remittance obligation. In any jurisdiction in which we decide to facilitate direct Collection and Remittance, you hereby instruct and authorize Parkwell (via Parkwell Payments) to collect Occupancy Taxes from Drivers on the Park owner's behalf at the time Listing Fees are collected, and to remit such Occupancy Taxes to the Tax Authority. In other jurisdictions Parkwell may decide in its sole discretion to collect Occupancy Taxes and remit such Taxes to eligible and qualifying Park owners, based on tax information supplied by the Park owner, for ultimate reporting and remittance by such Park owner to the Tax Authority. Such Park owner will be solely responsible for informing Parkwell about the correct Occupancy Tax amount to be collected from the Driver in accordance with applicable law and directly remitting the Occupancy Taxes to the relevant Tax Authority. Parkwell does not assume any liability for the failure of a participating Park owner to comply with any applicable tax reporting or remittance obligations. The amount of Occupancy Taxes, if any, collected and remitted by Parkwell will be visible to and separately stated.
13.5 You agree that any claim or cause of action relating to Parkwell's facilitation of Collection and Remittance of Occupancy Taxes shall not extend to any supplier or vendor that may be used by Parkwell in connection with facilitation of Collection and Remittance, if any. Park owners agree that we may seek additional amounts from you in the event that the Taxes collected and/or remitted are insufficient to fully discharge your obligations to the Tax Authority, and agree that your sole remedy for Occupancy Taxes collected is a refund of Occupancy Taxes collected by Parkwell from the applicable Tax Authority in accordance with applicable procedures set by that Tax Authority.
13.6 Parkwell reserves the right, with prior notice to Park owners, to cease the Collection and Remittance in any jurisdiction for any reason at which point Park owners are once again solely responsible and liable for the collection and/or remittance of any and all Taxes that may apply to parks in that jurisdiction.

19. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement
19.1 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. Parkwell is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom: (1) an informal negotiation directly with Parkwell’s customer service team, and (2) All disputes between the partner in relation to this agreement and the business shall be referred to a single arbitrator in accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration and Conciliation Laws of Lagos State and its specially designed Consumer Arbitration Rules.
19.2 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and Parkwell each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact Parkwell’s customer service team by emailing us. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration
19.3 Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Parkwell mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or to the use of the Parkwell Platform, the Park owner Services, or the Collective Content will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and Parkwell agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.
19.4 Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and Parkwell each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g. commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).
19.5 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
19.6 Jury Trial Waiver. You and Parkwell acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.
19.7 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and Parkwell acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless you and Parkwell both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If the “class action lawsuit” waiver or the “class-wide arbitration” waiver in this Section 19.7 is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute and the Dispute must proceed in court.
19.8 Severability. Except as provided in Section 19.7, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.
19.9 Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 (“Modification of these Terms”), if Parkwell changes this Section 19 (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement”) after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of Parkwell’s email to you notifying you of such change. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and Parkwell(or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and Parkwell.
