You must keep your Login Details secret and take all reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorised or fraudulent use of them. You must not disclose your Login Details to any other person or record your Login Details in any way that may result in them becoming known to another person.

For each Vehicle registered by you with Evology, you confirm that you are either:
8.1 the Driver; or
8.2 have the permission of the Driver to receive and process their information,
in respect of each Parking Instance.
9. CAR PARKS
9.1The Car Parks on Evology are owned and / or managed by third parties (“Car Park Providers”), not by us. It is the Car Park Providers that make their Car Parks available to you via the Evology Platform. We own and operate the Evology Platform.
9.2 Please carefully read the Car Park Terms and Conditions upon entering a Car Park as they vary from Car Park to Car Park, and ensure you abide by them including without limitation, the payment of any Parking Tariffs in accordance with any signage. Parking Tariffs are not set by us but by the Car Park Providers.
9.3 The Car Park Terms and Conditions form the basis of your contract with the Car Park Provider (“Parking Contract”). Evology is not a party to any Parking Contract; we and any payment processor only facilitate payments of Parking Tariffs to Car Park Providers due under a Parking Contract.
9.4 If you are in breach of or otherwise fail to comply with, the Car Park Terms and Conditions which apply at a Car Park, you will be breaching the terms of your Parking Contract and may face enforcement action which could include the payment of a Parking Charge, together with any additional costs required to pursue further recovery action. Each Car Park Provider is ultimately responsible for dealing with any claims or other issues arising out of any Parking Contract entered into with it.
9.5 The location of Car Parks near to your location are provided as general guidance only. You should always check the signage at the Car Parks and confirm the actual location and availability prior to making payment, where possible.
9.6 In the event of any conflict between any information provided by the Evology Apps or the Evology Website and the Car Park Terms and Conditions at any Car Park including on any signage, the latter shall prevail.
9.7 It is your sole responsibility to ensure you:
9.7.1 enter the location number correctly;
9.7.2 enter your Vehicle registration correctly;
9.7.3 enter your payment and any other required details correctly;
9.7.4 have properly and fully activated each Parking Instance before leaving any Vehicle registered to your Evology account unattended at any Car Park (save in respect of Evology Pay24, in which case you undertake to pay the relevant Parking Tariff within 24 hours of leaving a Car Park); and
9.7.5 verify the Parking Tariffs applicable at any Car Park to a Parking Instance before making payment,
and neither we, nor any Car Park Provider shall be liable, should you fail to do so including without limitation, for any parking charge received by you for breaching a Parking Contract due to your failure to adhere to any Car Park Terms and Conditions.
9.8 We are not responsible for maintaining the surface or any property at any Car Park, other than any equipment that is owned by us. We are also not responsible for any events that occur at any Car Park except where caused by us or our equipment. We therefore cannot warrant that any particular Car Park is suitable for you or your Vehicle’s requirements. You agree to take all reasonable measures when choosing a Car Park and do so at your own risk.
9.9 Your Vehicle shall be parked in the Car Parks at your own risk. We are not responsible for ensuring and in no way guarantee that, any Car Park is a secure environment and we are not liable for any loss or damage to your Vehicle or any possessions within it.
9.10 Where our equipment in any Car Park is damaged by you or your Vehicle, we will seek to recover the costs of repair and any other associated costs from you.
9.11 You understand that we cannot guarantee you a Parking Space at any Car Park.
9.12 We reserve the right to amend or remove the availability of any of the Car Parks on the Evology Apps and the Evology Website without notice.
10. PAYMENT

You will need to adhere to the terms and conditions of any such payment provider in order to use their method of payment.
10.2 You are required to pay any applicable Transaction Fee for each Parking Instance when using Evology Parking, in addition to the Parking Tariff and any SMS Notification Fees applicable where you choose to receive SMS notifications from us. For example, if you want to receive an SMS receipt and/or for us to send you a reminder by SMS when your Parking Period is about to expire (the Transaction Fee, the Parking Tariff and any SMS Notification Fees together being, the “Transaction Charges”). An itemised breakdown of the payment required for each Parking Instance shall be displayed to you before making payment including any applicable VAT.
10.3 The cost borne by you for parking is dependent on a number of varying factors such as the costs imposed by any payment processor, the Parking Tariffs required by each Car Park Provider, the location of a Car Park, whether your chosen Parking Instance is during on-peak or off-peak hours, the availability of any discounts or the occurrence of any promotions, amongst other things. The cost of parking may therefore vary from time to time and is not within our control. You appreciate and understand that the Evology Apps and the Evology Website are, whilst updated regularly, not updated in real time and there may be some delay to reflect any such variations.
10.4 You are also solely responsible for all applicable, charges, fees, costs and taxes you incur arising from or in connection with, use of any mobile phone and/or handheld device used by you to access the Evology Apps, the Evology Website and/or the Evology Services including without limitation, all call, SMS and data tariffs whether or not your usage remains within the limits of any allowances permitted by your service provider.
10.5 Please note that we only accept payment in GBP sterling (£).

11.3 If you experience any problems at a Car Park, we may, should we consider it appropriate, put you in touch with the relevant Car Park Provider as all disputes with Car Park Providers should be resolved by exhausting their complaints procedures in the first instance.
11.4 If you experience any problems with the Evology Platform, please contact Evology Customer Services by emailing [email protected] as soon as possible and we will do what we can to help.

15.4 Unavailability of a Booked Car Park
There may be some circumstances where Car Park Providers are unable to provide you with a Parking Space during the pre-booked Parking Period in the Booked Car Park due to operational reasons, if a Car Park is full or due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control (including acts of God, war, national emergency, governmental action, civil unrest, fire, flood, epidemic/pandemic, strikes or other labour disputes). In those circumstances, please contact Evology Customer Services by emailing [email protected] and request a refund. We reserve the right to cancel your Booking after checking the ANPR and other cameras, together with the occupancy levels in the relevant Car Park. In the event that we cancel your Booking for any reason, we shall refund any money that you have paid, and this shall be your only remedy in relation to your Booking.
15.5 Cancellation of Your Booking
15.5.1 You are entitled to cancel your Booking at any time through the Evology Parking app. Whether you are entitled to receive a refund of any payment you have made to us will depend on when you cancel your Booking:
15.5.1.1 if you cancel your Booking at least 24 hours prior to the start of the pre-booked Parking Period, you will be entitled to a refund of the amount paid for parking, less any Transaction Charges; or

15.6.2 Should you choose to exercise this right, you must complete the Contact Us form, or otherwise inform us in writing by way of a clear statement of your wish to withdraw from the contract, which must be received by us prior to the expiry of the Cooling-off Period.

15.6.4 Where your Booking shall take place prior to the expiry of the Cooling-off Period, you expressly request that we fulfil that Booking, in which case you waive your rights under this clause 15.6. You also agree that should we have performed or started performance of your agreement with us at your request, you waive your right to cancel the contract under this clause 15.6.
