PARKANIZE CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY

This Cancellation & Refund Policy applies to all bookings made on Parkanize, regardless of booking duration (Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, or Yearly).

1. GENERAL RULES

  • 1.1 By making a booking on Parkanize, you acknowledge and agree to the refund terms described in this Policy.
  • 1.2 All Platform Fees are strictly non-refundable under all circumstances.
  • 1.3 All refunds are processed through Ziina to the original payment method.
  • 1.4 Renters pay the full booking amount upfront, regardless of booking duration.
  • 1.5 Host payouts follow the payout structure defined in Section 11 of this Policy.

2. RENTER CANCELLATIONS

2.1 Before the Booking Start Time

If a Renter cancels before the booking start time:

  • Renter receives 70% of the booking fee
  • 30% is paid to the Host
  • Parkanize deducts its commission % (at the commission rate displayed in the app at the time of booking) from the Host's 30% share
  • The Platform Fee is not refunded
Worked example (illustrative; actual fees and commission are those displayed in the app):

Assume a booking fee of AED 1,000, a Platform Fee of AED 20, and a 20% commission rate. If the Renter cancels before the booking start time:
  • Renter refund = 70% × AED 1,000 = AED 700
  • Host's 30% share = AED 300
  • Parkanize commission = 20% × AED 300 = AED 60
  • Host receives = AED 240 (80% of AED 300, i.e. 24% of the booking fee)
  • Platform Fee of AED 20 is not refunded
The Renter paid AED 1,020 in total and receives AED 700 back.

2.2 After the Booking Start Time

Once the booking period begins:

  • No cancellations are allowed
  • No refunds are issued
  • The booking remains active
  • The Renter must remove the vehicle at the end time
This rule applies to all booking durations, including Quarterly and Yearly.

For Quarterly and Yearly bookings, this is subject to Section 10: where the Host fails to deliver the parking space in a future rental month (for example, lack of access, non-functioning credentials, unavailability of the space, or misrepresentation), Parkanize may refund the Renter from amounts not yet released to the Host.

3. HOST CANCELLATIONS

3.1 Hosts cannot cancel an active booking under any circumstances.

3.2 Hosts may request Parkanize to cancel a booking before it starts only if:

  • Fraud is suspected
  • A security issue exists
  • Access is physically impossible due to building actions

3.3 If a Host Cancels Before the Booking Start Time

  • Renter receives a 100% refund (excluding Platform Fee)
  • Host receives zero payout

3.4 Repeated Host-initiated cancellations may result in account suspension.

4. ACCESS CREDENTIAL DEPOSIT

The Access Deposit is collected in the amount displayed in the app at the time of booking. Parkanize may change this amount at any time; the amount displayed in the app at the time of booking shall apply to that booking.

The Access Fee is refunded only when:

  • The Renter returns the access credential in good working condition
  • The Host confirms its return within 48 hours
  • No loss or damage is reported
If the credential is lost or damaged, the deposit is paid to the Host. The Host's compensation for loss of or damage to the access credential under this Policy is limited to the Access Deposit amount.

  • The booking is cancelled
  • Renter receives a refund excluding Platform Fee

  • Renter must remove vehicle at the end of booking

9. PAYMENT DISPUTES & CHARGEBACKS

If a chargeback is initiated:

  • The User's account is immediately suspended
  • All related bookings are frozen
  • Parkanize may hold documents and evidence as required
  • Host payouts related to the booking are frozen until the dispute is resolved
Fraudulent chargebacks may lead to permanent suspension.

10. LONG-TERM BOOKINGS (QUARTERLY & YEARLY)

10.1 Renters pay the full amount upfront, but Hosts are not paid upfront for the full term.

10.2 Host payouts are released in accordance with the payout schedule set out in Section 11 of this Policy.

10.3 Each rental month within a Quarterly or Yearly booking is treated as a separate service period.

10.4 Renter-Reported Issues

If a renter reports issues such as:

  • Lack of access
  • Non-functioning credentials
  • Unavailability of the space
  • Misrepresentation by the Host

Parkanize may, at its sole discretion and based on its findings:

  • Withhold that month's payout
  • Reduce that payout
  • Redirect withheld amounts to the Renter as compensation
  • Penalize or suspend the Host

Any such investigation and adjustment of payouts is made by Parkanize at its sole discretion based on its findings. Parkanize does not act as a formal arbitrator or mediator, is not obligated to investigate or intervene, and its involvement creates no liability on Parkanize's part.

10.5 Refund Limits

Refunds are limited to amounts not yet released to the Host and remain subject to Parkanize's investigation and determination under this Policy.
