You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. Changes will be effective immediately unless otherwise provided. If we determine a revision to the Terms, in our sole discretion, is material, we will notify you as required by applicable law. Use of the Services by you after any modification to the Terms constitutes your acceptance of the Terms as modified. If you do not accept the changes, you must discontinue using the Services.

4. Who May Use the Services?

Parents and guardians are responsible for the acts of their children when using our Services.

B. Accounts

For certain features of the Services, you'll need an account ("Account"). You may create an Account via the functionality of the Services, which may include creation of an account by linking an account you maintain with a third-party social networking service (such as Google) with the Services. You may have the option of making a guest account or a standard account, based on which aspects of the Services you are accessing and using. While available Services may vary from location to location, a standard account may be necessary to enable you to access and use certain types of Services available at a particular location, such as subscription-based parking and seamless access and payment.

C. Your Information

In connection with creating an Account, you may be required to submit certain personal information. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information that does not infringe on the rights of any third party, and to update all information you provide to keep it accurate, current, and complete.

You are solely responsible for safeguarding your Account password and for all activity that occurs on your Account, and you will notify Metropolis immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. We are not liable for any losses by any party caused by an unauthorized use of your Account. You agree to comply with all billing procedures, including, as applicable, providing and maintaining accurate and lawful Payment Information for your Account. You may not authorize third parties to use your Account. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your Account to any other person or entity. You agree that the sole and specific purpose of registering an Account is to make use of the Services.

This Feedback section shall survive any termination of your Account, these Terms, or your participation in the Services.

6. Purchases, Payments, Validations, and Subscription

Metropolis may require payment for use of the Services (or certain portions thereof), including parking at a Location. By using our Services, you agree to the pricing, payment, and billing policies posted or otherwise communicated to you. The Services may permit you to make a one-time payment (whether as a guest or as a standard account holder), purchase a subscription (“Subscription”), receive or prepay a parking validation to be credited against a parking fee at a Location (“Validation”), or otherwise make payments for Services at a particular Location using other methods that may be described at the applicable Location (collectively, “Payments”). Special pricing, payment, and/or eligibility terms may apply to certain portions of the Services, and/or Subscriptions, and may vary on a Location-by-Location basis.

A. General

Regardless of how you make Payments , (each, a "Transaction"), you expressly authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge you for such Transaction and future Transactions via the payment features of the Services. We may ask you to supply additional information relevant to your Transaction, including your credit card number(s), the expiration date of your credit card(s) and your email and postal addresses for billing and notification (such information, "Payment Information"). We (or our third-party payment processor) may authorize charges using your Payment Information in anticipation of Subscription or other Service-related payments in advance. In some instances, your available balance or credit limit may be reduced to reflect the authorization. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment method(s) represented by any such Payment Information. When you initiate a Transaction, you authorize us to provide your Payment Information to third parties so we can complete your Transaction and to charge your payment method for the type of Transaction you have selected (plus any applicable taxes and other charges). You may need to provide additional information to verify your identity before completing your Transaction (such information is included within the definition of Payment Information). All payments for Transactions are non-refundable and non-transferable except as expressly provided in these Terms. All fees and applicable taxes, if any, are payable in United States dollars. For certain Payment Information, the issuer of the payment method may charge you certain additional fees (e.g., foreign transaction fees or processing fees). You will be solely responsible for such fees. You remain responsible for any amounts we are unable to collect for your use of the Services.

B. Service Fee

Each Transaction is subject to a fee (each a "Service Fee"). Service Fees are charged in connection with each Transaction and are calculated based on a formula specific to the Services. The application of a Service Fee and the rate is set by Metropolis in its sole discretion and may vary from Location to Location.

C. Subscriptions and Autorenewal

Certain aspects of the Services may enable you to purchase a Subscription for your recurring usage of the Services, such as a recurring quantity of reservations or recurring usage of a specific parking spot within a Location. Subscription availability may vary based on the specific aspect of the Services (or the applicable Location) in which Subscriptions are offered. If you purchase a Subscription, you will be charged the Subscription fee for the applicable Subscription period, plus any applicable taxes, and other charges ("Subscription Fee"), at the beginning of your Subscription and automatically at the beginning of each subsequent Subscription period commencing thereafter, at the then-current Subscription Fee. BY PURCHASING A SUBSCRIPTION, YOU AUTHORIZE METROPOLIS TO AUTOMATICALLY INITIATE RECURRING NON-REFUNDABLE PAYMENTS AS SET FORTH BELOW. Your Subscription will automatically continue at the selected interval, and we (or our third-party payment processor) will automatically charge you at the beginning of each subsequent Subscription period commencing after the initial Subscription period for your Subscription, using the Payment Information you have provided, unless prior to the end of the current subscription period: (a) you terminate your Account; (b) you cancel your Subscription (as described below); (c) we decline to renew your Subscription; or (d) these Terms are otherwise properly terminated as expressly permitted herein. In accordance with applicable law, Metropolis will send you a reminder with the then-current Subscription Fee. By agreeing to these Terms and electing to purchase a Subscription, you acknowledge that your Subscription has recurring payment features and you accept responsibility for all recurring payment obligations prior to cancellation of your Subscription by you or Metropolis.

We may receive updated credit card information (new credit card number or updated expiration date) from your credit card issuer. We may use these new details in order to help prevent any interruption to the Services. If you would like to use a different payment method or if there is a change in payment method, please visit the settings area of your Account to update your billing information.

Subscriptions may include additional terms and conditions as may be described at the time of purchase or in other communications we send to you. If any Subscription Fee is not paid in a timely manner, or your transaction cannot be processed, we reserve the right to suspend, disable, cancel or terminate your access to the Services or cancel your Subscription. You will be responsible for paying all past due amounts.

D. Refunds, Cancellation

All sales are final. Metropolis may consider refund requests on a case-by-case basis, and decisions on whether to grant a refund request are in the sole discretion of Metropolis. If we issue a refund, credit, or discount, we are under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, YOUR PURCHASE IS FINAL AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CANCEL THE PURCHASE AND/OR RECEIVE A REFUND OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FEE AT ANY TIME UNLESS REQUIRED BY LAW. You may cancel your Subscription at any time, but please note that such cancellation will be effective at the end of the then-current Subscription period and you cancel only future charges associated with your Subscription. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND OF ANY PORTION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE PAID FOR THE THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AT THE TIME OF CANCELLATION UNLESS REQUIRED BY LAW.

Cancellation by You:

To cancel, you can send an email to help@metropolis.io or use the functionality provided in the Services, for example by accessing the relevant active plan in your Account and confirming cancellation of your Subscription. You will be responsible for all Subscription Fees (plus any applicable taxes and other charges) incurred for the then-current Subscription period. If you cancel, your right to use the Services will continue until the end of your then-current Subscription period (unless we provide you with a refund or otherwise allow you to use the unused portion towards another service or subscription) and will then terminate without further charges. Please note, if you signed up for your Subscription or provided Payment Information through a third party, you may need to cancel your Subscription through that third party.

Cancellation by Us

If we cancel your Subscription, we may give you a prorated refund based on the amount of time remaining that you cannot use, provided, however, that we will not be obligated to grant you a refund if we terminate your Account or your Subscription in the event we determine, in our sole discretion, that your actions or your use of the Services violates these Terms or any applicable law or has harmed a third party.

E. Changes to the Subscription

We may change the Subscription terms or Subscription Fees at any time on a going forward basis in our discretion. If the pricing for your Subscription increases, we will notify you and provide you an opportunity to change your Subscription before applying those changes to your Account or charging you in connection with an automatic renewal. Your continued use of the Services after the changes become effective will constitute your acceptance of the changes. If you do not wish to continue subscribing with the new fees or features, you may cancel your Subscription. If you accept the new Subscription, its terms and conditions will apply for that renewal and all renewals going forward.

F. Validations.

You may receive parking validations from third parties in the form of QR codes or other mechanisms as provided by such third party, which will reduce or eliminate any fees associated with a particular use of the Services at a Location (“Validations”). You may redeem Validations via the App or as otherwise provided at a specific Location. Validations are only available on a Location-by-Location basis. Validations are one-time use per code, have no cash value, and may not be combined with any other offers or promotions (unless otherwise expressly indicated). If you would like to offer Validations, you may purchase Validations via the functionality of the Services.

7. Content

A. User Content

Content such as video, audio, images, information, text (in posts or communications with us or others), and other materials that you post or otherwise make available (including via entry into a Location) through the Services, including content you make available for initiation of support requests or as submissions to enter contests or promotions, is referred to as "User Content." Metropolis does not claim any ownership rights in any User Content and nothing in these Terms will be deemed to restrict any rights that you may have to your User Content.

You represent and warrant that neither your User Content, nor your provision of User Content to be made available through the Services, nor any use of your User Content by Metropolis on or through the Services will infringe, misappropriate, or violate a third party's intellectual property rights or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.

D. Removal of User Content

The functionality of the Services may give you the ability to remove your User Content by specifically deleting it. You should know that in certain instances, some of your User Content may not be completely removed and copies of your User Content may continue to exist on the Services.

14. Representation; Release and Indemnity

A. You represent and warrant that you are authorized, and possess all applicable permits, licenses and approvals required under applicable laws, rules, and regulations to operate the vehicle(s) with which you are accessing any Services, Mobility Resources, or Locations.

B. To the extent permitted by law and in consideration of being allowed to use the Services, you hereby waive any and all claims, disputes, actions, demands, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees), and liabilities (collectively, "Claims") which you or your heirs and next of kin may now or hereafter have or claim against Metropolis and/or its Affiliates (including without limitation SP Plus LLC) and its and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, partners and employees (collectively, "Releasees"), for any and all loss, theft or damage to property and for injuries, illness, disease, or death to your person occurring in, upon or about, or connected with or arising out of any use of or other activity at the Services, Mobility Resources, or Locations, including, without limitation, any activity relating to services and/or advice of any third-party operator of Mobility Resources, independent contractor, or employee, whether caused by active or passive negligence of Releasees or otherwise ("Release"). You hereby assume the risk of all mistakes of fact or law with regard to entering into this Release. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that if any fact now or at the time of the Claim believed to be true is found hereafter to be other than, or different from, that which is now believed, you expressly assume the risk of such difference in fact and agree that this Release shall and will remain effective notwithstanding any such difference in fact. You further represent and warrant that you understand that (a) you may have sustained damages, expenses and losses based upon, attributable to, arising out of, in connection with or in any way related to the subject matter of the Claims which are presently unknown or not suspected and that such damages, expenses and losses, if any, may give rise to additional damages, expenses and losses in the future which are not now or at the time of the Claim anticipated by you and (b) that this Release has been agreed upon despite this realization. Being fully advised regarding the foregoing, you voluntarily and with full knowledge of its significance, expressly waive and relinquishes any and all rights you may have under any state or federal statute, rule or common law principle, in law or equity, relating to limitations on releases, including, but not limited to, § 1542 of the California Civil Code (or any other similar law in any jurisdiction) which would limit the effect of the foregoing release to those Claims actually known or suspected to exist at the time of the effectiveness of the foregoing release. California Civil Code § 1542 provides:

A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.

It is your intention, for yourself and for your past, present and future spouses, heirs, next of kin, guardians, beneficiaries, legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (as well as their respective spouses, heirs, next of kin, guardians, beneficiaries, legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors and assigns) that, notwithstanding the possibility that they or their counsel could discover or gain a more complete understanding of the facts, events or law which, if presently or at the time of the Claim known or fully understood, would have affected the foregoing release, this Release shall be deemed to have fully, finally and forever settled any and all Claims, without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of different or additional facts, events or law and that this Release shall be effective as a full and final accord and satisfaction and mutual general release of and from all released matters.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Releasees from and against any Claims out of or in any way connected with (a) your access to or use of the Services, Mobility Resources, or Locations; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your negligent act or omission or willful misconduct occurring at or in connection with any Services, Mobility Resources, or Locations. Metropolis reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you and, in such case, you agree to cooperate with Metropolis in the defense of such matter.

You understand and acknowledge that Metropolis is not obliged to carry insurance on you, and the existence of insurance shall not change, alter, or increase any liability of Metropolis or affect the terms of this release, waiver of liability and indemnification under this Section [14(b)].

15. Limitation of Liability

A. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER METROPOLIS NOR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE OWNERS OR OPERATORS OF THE PROPERTIES THAT METROPOLIS OPERATES AND OTHER BUSINESSES OR THIRD PARTIES INVOLVED IN THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICES (COLLECTIVELY, “BUSINESS ASSOCIATES”), WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOST SAVINGS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF DATA OR GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE, SYSTEM FAILURE, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, OR FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SECURITY INCIDENT, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT METROPOLIS OR ANY OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

B. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION, IN NO EVENT WILL THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF METROPOLIS, ITS CUSTOMERS, OR BUSINESS ASSOCIATES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, ANY SECURITY INCIDENT, OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO METROPOLIS FOR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DAMAGES. THEREFORE, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

C. THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN METROPOLIS AND YOU.

16. Governing Law and Forum Choice

For any dispute not subject to arbitration or under the jurisdiction of a small claims court, you and Metropolis agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of any venue in the state and federal courts located in Delaware. You further agree to accept service of process by mail, and hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available. The Terms and the relationship between you and Metropolis shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of law provisions.

17. Dispute Resolution for Individuals

This section only applies if you are accessing or using the Services as an individual.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

If you have any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) with Metropolis (or a business associate of Metropolis) or if Metropolis (or a business associate of Metropolis) has a Dispute with you and such Dispute cannot be resolved informally, such dispute will be resolved on an individual basis in accordance with the provisions set forth below:

A. Initial Dispute Resolution

The parties shall use their best efforts to engage in informal dispute resolution to settle any Dispute and engage in good faith negotiations which shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. Failure to engage in this process could result in the award of fees against you in arbitration. To adequately engage in this initial dispute resolution process, each party must notify the other party, in writing, of the facts of the dispute and all damages claimed. Such a writing must be sent to (a) the user's email address on file with Metropolis, or (b)help@metropolis.io, whichever is applicable ("Dispute Notification"). The party receiving the Dispute Notification has thirty (30) days from receipt of the Dispute Notification to respond. The other party then has 15 days to reply to the response.

B. Binding Arbitration

If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of 45 days from the time informal dispute resolution begins under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. This agreement to arbitrate is a contract governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. section 1, et seq., and evidences a transaction involving commerce. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including their formation, performance, and breach), the parties' relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Services and any services made available through the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the provisions of its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class or representative actions and except that each party will be permitted at least one deposition unless forbidden by JAMS. If for any reason JAMS is unable to administer arbitration, either party may apply to a court to appoint an arbitrator pursuant to 9 U.S.C. section 5.

Except as explicitly set forth in this Section 17, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, and any dispute regarding the payment of JAMS administrative or arbitrator fees (including the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment). The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator shall also be empowered to consolidate claims raised between the same parties to a single arbitration proceeding. The parties agree that the arbitrator may allow the filing of dispositive motions if they are likely to efficiently resolve or narrow issues in dispute. The arbitrator's award shall be written and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration.

The Streamlined Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at (800) 352-5267. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, you will be required to pay $250 to initiate the arbitration. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, the arbitrator may require Metropolis to pay the additional cost. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, Metropolis will pay the remaining filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not exceed $75,000. For claims above $75,000, fees and costs will be determined in accordance with applicable JAMS rules. The arbitration rules permit you to recover attorney's fees in certain cases.

Any arbitration demand or counterclaim asserted by either party must contain sufficient information to provide fair notice to the other party of the asserting party's identity, the claims being asserted, and the factual allegations on which they are based. The arbitrator and/or JAMS may require amendment of any demand or counterclaim that does not satisfy these requirements. The arbitrator has the right to impose sanctions in accordance with JAMS Rule 24 for any claims the arbitrator determines to be frivolous or improper (under the standard set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11).

The parties agree that JAMS has discretion to modify the amount or timing of any administrative or arbitration fees due under JAMS's Rules where it deems appropriate, provided that such modification does not increase the costs to you, and you waive any objection to such fee modification. The parties also agree that a good-faith challenge by either party to the fees imposed by JAMS does not constitute a default, waiver, or breach of this Section 17 while such challenge remains pending before JAMS, the arbitrator, and/or a court of competent jurisdiction.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

C. Location

If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration will take place at any reasonable location within the United States convenient for you. You and Metropolis agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Delaware in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

D. Class Action Waiver

The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If the parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. YOU AND METROPOLIS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Notwithstanding any other provision of these terms, disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular remedy, then that remedy (and only that remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and may be sought in court. The parties agree, however, that any adjudication of remedies not subject to arbitration shall be stayed pending the outcome of any arbitrable claims and remedies. If this specific Class Action Waiver provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 17 shall be null and void.

E. Exception - Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims

Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also elect to have disputes or claims resolved in a small claims court that are within the scope of that court's jurisdiction. Either party may also seek a declaratory judgment or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding whether a party's claims are time-barred or may be brought in small claims court in your state and county of residence. Seeking such relief shall not waive a party's right to arbitration under this agreement.

F. Changes to this Section

Metropolis will provide 30 days' notice of any changes affecting the substance of this Section 17. Changes will become effective on the 30th day. If you continue to use the Services after the 30th day, you agree that any unfiled claims of which Metropolis does not have actual notice are subject to the revised clause.

18. Dispute Resolution for Legal Entities

This section only applies if you are a legal entity accessing or using the Services.

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. The exclusive jurisdiction for all dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services will be the state and federal courts located in Delaware, and you and Metropolis each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
