This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement between Parallel Spaces, Maps, LLC, (the "Company," “PS” "us", "we") and you ("you," "your", "user," "member"). If you have any questions about this Agreement, please send us an e-mail at membership@ParallelSpaces.com.

1. ELIGIBILITY. You must be 16 years of age or older to enter this Site and/or use the Services on your own. If you are under the age of 16, please exit the Site. PS reserves the right to ask for proof of age and to withhold or terminate your membership if you are below the specified age requirement. Registration or membership with the Site is void in any jurisdiction where prohibited.

2. CHANGES TO SITE AND/OR TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE. PS reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove any portion of the Site or this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time. PS reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change its fees and billing methods, including the addition of supplemental fees or separate charges for content, or services provided by PS. Without limiting the foregoing, there shall be no refund of any user’s first monthly payment and no user may “downgrade” or “upgrade” its account within the first twenty four hour period of opening such account. After the first twenty-four hour period has expired, you may cancel or change the status of your account by using the “My Account” link on the Member’s Page. Changes to this Agreement will be effective when posted. PS will notify all users by way of announcement on the Site, if and when changes are made. You agree to review this Agreement periodically to be aware of any changes. Your continued use of the Site after any changes to this Agreement are posted will be considered acceptance of those changes. You also hereby consent to the exchange of information and documents between us electronically over the Internet or by e-mail and accept the risks including security and privacy risks from internet and e-mail communications.
3. REFUND AND/OR BILLING POLICY. The ParallelSpaces.com membership can be tried and tested at no cost to users and, for this reason, we have a No Refund policy for users who choose to sign up for any paid Membership Level. There shall be no refunds and no user may “downgrade” or “upgrade” his or her membership within the first twenty-four hour period of opening an account or changing the Level of Membership. After the initial twenty-four hour period a user can “downgrade” or “upgrade” his or her Membership Level no more than once every twenty-four hour period by clicking on the “My Account” link on the top of the Members Page and selecting a new Membership Level. As long as no Membership Level change for that user has taken place in the previous twenty-four hours, such new change will take effect once a user’s credit card processing has completed. In the extraordinary event a user’s credit card processing for a Membership Level change has been completed and such user’s new Parking Plan has not gone into effect, such user should cancel such Membership Level change as soon as possible and notify us by email to membership@ParallelSpaces.com or at (888) 775-7353 detailing the nature of the difficulty and confirming user's wish to cancel such change. Such extraordinary event may entitle the user to a refund and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Such notification will only be considered received when confirmed by email response from Parallel Spaces Maps, LLC.
Parallel Spaces Maps, LLC shall automatically renew a user’s account, for the same Parking Plan subscription amount each month, with the credit card on file until such time as a user changes his or her Membership Level. After a change in Membership Level is effected, Parallel Spaces Maps, LLC shall automatically renew a user’s account for the new Parking Plan subscription amount each month on that day of the month the latest change was initiated. This is an ongoing monthly subscription whereby a user will need to cancel or “downgrade” their account to the free Membership Level to discontinue such automatic billing.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that they meet the compatibility requirements as discussed on the FAQs page. However, in the event that a user has fulfilled all of the requirements and is still having a problem for whatever the reason, the user can send an email to membership@ParallelSpaces.com detailing their operating system and browser version or call us at (888) 775-7353 describing the nature of the difficulty. And if, at that time, a user is unable to effect a cancellation or “downgrade” of Membership Level on their own, they may also request such change in their email. Such requests will only be considered received when confirmed by email response from Parallel Spaces Maps, LLC.
By agreeing to this Terms of Service members accept the services as is and understand we can provide no guarantees that the site will be error free and/or available 100% of the time. After the initial twenty-four hour period, users may “downgrade” or “upgrade” their Membership Plan at any time, but no more than once every twenty-four hours.
In the event that a user issues a chargeback or reversal of charges without first following the foregoing Refund And/Or Billing Policy, user will be responsible for a $25.00 billing service fee.
