General Conditions

15. Purpose of site: Spacer makes available a platform or marketplace with related technology for Renters and Hosts to list, quote and arrange for bookings of parking (“Contract”). The Company is not a rental agent or property broker. Spacer acts as an intermediary for members to transact and is not considered a party to any Contract between the Host and the Renter.
16. We reserve the right to close your account or to remove or disable access to any Listing for any reason, including Listings that Spacer, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms.
17. The laws of the State of Delaware, USA apply to these Terms and Conditions and the parties submit exclusively to the courts of that jurisdiction.

Obligations of all Users

18. Registration with the Website requires the User to either log in via Facebook or supply your name, and email address and a password. Once registered, you will receive a User identification number, which together with your email address and password constitute the “Registration Details” of your User account.
19. When you create a user account, we require you to verify your identity. You warrant that all identity documents you provide are complete, current and accurate. You undertake to notify us of any changes to these identity documents within 7 days (for example, changing your name or contact address).
20. Each Listing by a Host is an offer to enter a legally binding Contract with the Renter. If the Renter indicates through the website that the proposed terms of the Listing are accepted, the Host will receive by email the booking request, to which they must respond within 48 hours. In the absence of response, the request is considered rejected. If they accept the reservation, the Contract is confirmed and the Fee is taken from the Renter.

Specific Obligations of Hosts

21. To create a Listing, the Host must describe the Space, along with any conditions of parking they wish to apply, on the listing page of the Website. Such description may include text, graphics, pictures and other relevant content and should include details like size, location, security, whether or not a deposit is required for access cards/keys, and access offered. The Host will also disclose to the Company the price he wishes to charge for parking (the “Spacer Rent”). All descriptions and information must be accurate, complete, up-to-date and truthful to the best of your knowledge and belief. In the event that the Space becomes unavailable for any reason, you agree to remove or suspend the Listing as soon as reasonably practicable.
22. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for any and all Listings you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Listing you post and the booking of, or Renter’s use of, a Space in a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws, tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Space included in a Listing you post, including, but not limited to, zoning laws and laws governing rentals of residential and other properties and (b) not conflict with the rights of third parties.
23. Hosts agree to never insist, ask, or insinuate to a Renter that he or she pay any or all of the Space Fees directly to Host with a check, cash, or any payment method other than by payment through Spacer.
24. In the event a Renter fails to make full payment to Spacer required under this agreement, the Host agrees to:        
25. Assign their rights as bailee to Spacer;
26. Assist Spacer to the best of their ability by complying with any and all reasonable requests (such as, but not limited to: denying the Renter access to the property and their vehicle, taking images of the vehicle, allowing third party access to view the vehicle, and providing any reasonable information as requested by Spacer). Should the Host fail to comply with any reasonable request, this may (at the sole discretion of Spacer) be deemed sufficient to cancel the agreement and immediately cease all payments to the Host.

Specific Obligations of Renters

25. By entering into a Contract with a Host you warrant and represent that you will only use the space for parking of a registered motor vehicle, you are not seeking storage of Prohibited Goods and will not use the Space for any unlawful purpose, and you will not do anything that will interfere with the Host’s reasonable enjoyment of the rest of the premises.
26. The Renter undertakes to pay the Fee promptly, fully and in good faith and using the online Payment Manager upon confirmation of the Contract with the Host.
27. Payment to Spacer of less than the amount owed does not affect your obligation to pay the balance. Acceptance of this part-payment is not a waiver of any rights Spacer has under this agreement.
28. Should you fail to pay the full amount due, or if any payment is dishonored or cancelled, you acknowledge that Spacer incurs internal and external costs, and you agree to pay all costs in full.
29. The Renter will comply with the access and security arrangements in the Contract or as otherwise agreed, and keep safe any keys or other items used to access the Space.
30. Vacation of Space: At or before the end of the booking period of the Contract or upon terminating the Contract in keeping with the terms of clauses 40 through 46, the Renter must vacate the Space completely. The Renter must remove all contents and debris and leave the Space in good “broom clean” condition.
31. Pursuant with clauses 36 through 42 of these Terms and Conditions, the Renter will remove the vehicle from the Space upon request by the Host, provided that the Host gives at least four weeks’ notice in writing of such request.
32. The host may refuse you or any other person access to their premises, or your parking space (including after termination of your agreement) if:  
33. You haven’t complied with one or more of your obligations under this agreement; or
34. You haven’t provided suitable identification to the host upon commencement of this agreement.
35. Upon acceptance of a Contract between a Host and a Renter, the Renter contacts the Host using the Host details provided to the Renter to arrange the handover.  

Obligations of Spacer

33. Upon acceptance of a Contract between a Host and a Renter, Spacer will collect Total Fees from the Renter. All financial transactions between the parties will be processed by a third-party electronic payment system (the “Payment Manager”) embedded in the Website. By using the Payment Manager, you also confirm that you have read and agree to the terms and conditions applying to that service.
34. Total Fees consist of the aggregate of the Spacer Rent and Spacer Commission. The Total Fees will be calculated and collected by the Payment Manager. The Payment Manager will then initiate payment of Spacer Rent to the Host either within three (3) days of the Booking Start Date.
35. Spacer will collect from the Renter the first payment at the time of booking confirmation. If the rental period is extended, Renters will be charged monthly Total Fees on a recurring basis. In that instance Spacer will collect Total Fees and initiate payment of Spacer Rent to the Host within ten (10) days of the first day of each month of the booking period, referred to herein as Recurring Payments. If Recurring Payments apply to your payment obligations for Total Fees owed for a confirmed booking, you authorize Spacer, on behalf of the Host, to collect the Total Fees in the increments and at the frequency associated with the applicable Recurring Payments. Where a contract has been extended, Spacer will continue to collect Total Fees on a monthly recurring basis until the Renter or Host provides notice of termination of the lease under Clause 8.

Cancellations, Variations & Termination of Lease

36. Either User (Host or Renter) may cancel the Contract without penalty within one (1) day of acceptance by providing notice in writing or through the Website (“Money Back Guarantee Period”) provided the Contract has not commenced. If either party seeks to cancel or amend the Contract outside of the Money Back Guarantee Period, that party must provide one (1) month notice in writing and the conditions of clauses 38 and 39 apply.
37. If, as a Renter, you cancel your requested booking inside the Money Back Guarantee Period, Spacer will refund any nominal amounts charged to your credit card in connection with the requested booking. If, as a Host you cancel the requested booking inside the Money Back Guarantee Period, you will not be entitled to receive any Spacer Rental payments, and you must immediately repay any monies received in advance as consideration of the Contract being completed.
38. If, as a Renter, you wish to cancel or terminate the Contract outside of the Money Back Guarantee Period, you must provide one (1) month notice (“Notice Period”) in writing to the Host and through the Website of your intention to cancel or terminate the Contract, and pay Total Fees for the whole Notice Period, regardless of whether you have vacated in that period. The Host will receive the Spacer Rent for the whole Notice Period.
39. If, as a Host, you wish to cancel the Contract outside of the Money Back Guarantee Period, you must provide one (1) month notice (“Notice Period”) in writing to the Renter and through the Website of your intention to cancel the Contract. By cancelling the Contract, you acknowledge that you are breaking the terms of the Contract, agree to continue to allow the space to be used for the Notice Period (if already located in the Space) and forfeit the Spacer Rent payable to you for the period of the Notice Period. Spacer may, at its absolute discretion, refund part or all of the Spacer Rent paid by the Renter for the Notice Period.
40. Clause 38 and 39 do not apply where the Contract is terminated due to non-payment of fees, or a party is in breach of its obligations under these Terms and Conditions or the Contract.
41. Termination conditions: If, as a Host, you have reasonable suspicion that a Renter is storing Prohibited Goods or is in breach of these Terms and Conditions, you have the right to immediately terminate the Contract and to ask the Renter to remove the items from the premises. The Host shall provide reasonable notice and opportunity for the Renter to cure such breach or otherwise remove such items. The Host may also take steps to inform law enforcement authorities and take actions to remove the items from their property.
42. Termination conditions: In the event a Renter fails to make full payment by the due date required by Spacer under this agreement, the Renter agrees to:        
43. At 3 days overdue, the addition of a $25 late fee. This fee may be waived at the sole discretion of Spacer should the Renter make full payment before the close of business on the 7th day overdue.
44. At 3 days overdue, the Renter will be denied access to the Space or Host’s property until the default is cured.
45. At 7 days overdue, Spacer claims, and you grant, a contractual lien over your  on any and all properties under agreements with Spacer.
