Terms of service

Last updated: 15 June 2026

Part 2 - Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Parkberry app, website, and services ("Parkberry", "we", "us"), operated by Davidovski GmbH, Wehntalerstrasse 283A, 8046 Zurich, Switzerland. By using Parkberry you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

1. What Parkberry is

Parkberry is an online marketplace that connects:

  • Drivers who want to park and (optionally) charge an electric vehicle, with
  • Hosts who list private parking spaces and EV chargers (driveways, garages, business lots).

Parkberry is an intermediary. Except for the Honored-Spot Guarantee (§10), the parking contract for each booking is between the driver and the host. Parkberry is not the owner or operator of the spaces, is not a party to the parking contract, and provides search, booking, access, payments, and support tools.

2. Eligibility & accounts

  • Parkberry is for adults. By creating an account you confirm that you are at least 18, or the age of legal majority where you live if that is higher, and able to enter a binding contract.
  • We rely on that confirmation: we do not verify your age when you create an account.
  • Where we verify identity - for example before a host receives a payout - we check the date of birth shown on the document, and we will close the account of anyone found to be under age.
  • If you are under 18, do not create an account.
  • A booking made by someone who was not legally able to enter into the contract may be cancelled and refunded under §5.
  • You must give accurate information and keep your account secure. You are responsible for activity under your account.
  • Hosts must confirm they are entitled to rent out the space - as its owner, as a tenant whose landlord permits subletting, or as an authorised manager - before a listing can be published. We record that confirmation. Hosts must also complete identity verification before receiving any payout.

3. Bookings, vehicle-fit & access

  • Search & fit gate. Listings show dimensions and EV connector details. The vehicle-fit gate checks your vehicle's height, length, and connector before booking. You are responsible for the accuracy of your vehicle profile; a wrong profile may cause a failed fit at the gate, for which Parkberry is not liable.
  • Booking. A booking is confirmed when you receive confirmation in the app. You get a live access pass with countdown and QR code.
  • Access methods. Depending on the space: automatic gate access via ANPR (plate reading), an offline printed permit, or a host manual-meet handshake. Use the access method shown for your booking and follow any host instructions and house rules.
  • Charging. Where offered, you may charge your EV while parked, subject to the listing's charging terms, connector, and pricing.

4. Pricing, payment & the Wallet

  • Prices are set per listing and shown before you book, including any applicable Swiss VAT.
  • You pay by card, including Apple Pay and Google Pay, processed by Stripe; no card data is stored on your device or our servers. Where a host's market pays out via Stripe Connect, your payment goes directly to the host's own Stripe account - Parkberry deducts only its published commission and never takes custody of the host's share.
  • Wallet (promo credit): the Wallet holds closed-loop promo credit usable only within Parkberry. It is not cash, not transferable, and not redeemable for money except where the law requires, and it cannot be purchased or topped up - you earn it (a referral bonus, a redeemed code, converted loyalty points, or goodwill credit), and it may carry conditions or expiry as disclosed at the time. Your balance is capped at CHF 3,000.
  • We issue PDF receipts and Swiss VAT invoices for eligible transactions.
  • Tips. Drivers may send optional tips to hosts. Tips are voluntary and non-refundable.

5. Cancellations & refunds

Each listing states its cancellation policy. Refunds go to your original payment method and follow that policy and applicable law. Statutory consumer rights, where they apply, are unaffected. Disputed charges are handled under §11.

6. Long-term parking (monthly lets)

A monthly plan is a let of the space, not a series of bookings. The host is the lessor and the supplier; Parkberry remains the intermediary (§1) and never takes custody of the host's money.

  • Periods are calendar months. A plan that starts on the 15th runs to the 15th, whatever the month's length. A plan starting on the 31st renews on the last day of a shorter month and returns to the 31st when the month allows it.
  • Written agreement. When a plan starts, Parkberry issues both parties a let agreement stating the space, the parties, the price, the minimum term, both notice periods, and the statutory provision the notice floor rests on. It is available in the app and by email, and it is the record of what was agreed.
  • Minimum term. A listing may require a minimum number of periods. It is shown before you commit and is stated on the let agreement. Notice cannot end the let before the minimum term is served.
  • Notice. Either side may end the let by giving notice to the end of a period. Each market sets a floor: 14 days in Switzerland (Art. 266e Swiss Code of Obligations, for a parking space let separately), 8 days in Serbia (Art. 597 Law on Obligations) and 8 days in North Macedonia (Art. 600(2) Law on Obligations). A host may agree a longer notice period; neither side can agree a shorter one than the law allows.
  • This let stands alone. It is independent of any residential tenancy between the same parties. Where a host also lets the driver their home, a parking space let together with the dwelling can inherit that tenancy's protections, and different rules may then apply. Both parties should take advice in that case.
  • Price changes take effect at a renewal and only with at least one full period of notice. Continuing to pay is acceptance.
  • Cancellation policies do not apply. §5 governs individual bookings. A let ends by notice, on the terms above.

7. Volt Rewards (loyalty)

You earn Volt Rewards points on eligible bookings and progress through tiers Sprout → Volt → Surge → Nova. Points can be redeemed for Wallet credit per the programme rules. Points have no cash value, may expire, and we may change or end the programme on reasonable notice. Abuse (e.g. fake bookings) may forfeit points.

8. Host obligations

Hosts agree to:

  • have the legal right to offer the space and comply with applicable laws, leases, building rules, and zoning;
  • describe the space accurately (dimensions, connector, access, restrictions) and keep availability current;
  • honour confirmed bookings and provide safe, lawful access;
  • handle driver data only to fulfil bookings (see Privacy Policy §10);
  • set lawful prices and meet their own tax obligations.

AI-assisted descriptions: our AI listing assistant produces drafts from host-supplied details. Hosts are responsible for reviewing and confirming that listings are accurate and lawful.

9. User-generated content & moderation

  • You may post photos, reviews, star ratings, and chat messages. You keep ownership of your content and grant Parkberry a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, translate, and distribute it for operating and promoting the service.
  • You must not post content that is illegal, infringing, deceptive, hateful, harassing, or that violates others' privacy (e.g. photographing identifiable people or plates without need).
  • Reviews must reflect a genuine experience. Two-sided reviews (driver↔host) are published as part of the marketplace and may remain visible after account closure in anonymised form.
  • Automatic translation: listings and chat may be machine-translated across DE/FR/IT/EN (and additional languages as we expand). Translations are provided for convenience and may contain inaccuracies; the original-language text prevails.
  • We may moderate, remove, or restrict content or accounts that breach these Terms, and we operate a Help & Safety hub.

10. Honored-Spot Guarantee

If a confirmed spot fails on arrival (e.g. blocked, unavailable, or access doesn't work through no fault of yours), the Honored-Spot Guarantee applies: we will try to relocate you to a comparable spot, or, where we can't, provide a Hero bonus as compensation per the then-current guarantee rules in the app. The guarantee is Parkberry's own commitment and is subject to eligibility (e.g. timely report, valid booking, accurate vehicle profile, no abuse).

11. Disputes between users

For disputes about a specific booking (condition, access, charges), first use in-app chat and our support channel. Parkberry may help mediate and, where appropriate, adjust charges, issue refunds, or apply the guarantee, but - outside the guarantee - the underlying parking contract is between driver and host.

12. Safety & SOS

Parkberry provides a Help & Safety hub with one-tap SOS and Swiss emergency numbers. In a real emergency, always call the local emergency services first (in Switzerland: 112 general, 117 police, 118 fire, 144 ambulance). SOS may share your live location to help responders or our support team assist you.

13. Acceptable use

Do not misuse Parkberry, including: breaking the law; defrauding hosts/drivers/Parkberry; circumventing the vehicle-fit gate, ANPR, or payment; manipulating reviews or loyalty; scraping; or interfering with the service's security or operation.

14. Liability

To the extent permitted by law:

  • Parkberry provides the platform "as is" and does not guarantee uninterrupted availability or the conduct of hosts or drivers.
  • Parkberry is not liable for the condition, legality, or availability of any space (beyond the Honored-Spot Guarantee), nor for damage to vehicles or property caused by a host, driver, or third party.
  • Parkberry's aggregate liability for direct damages arising from a booking is limited, to the extent permitted, to the amounts you paid for that booking. We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for intentional or grossly negligent conduct, or where the law prohibits exclusion.

15. Suspension & termination

You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms, legal/safety reasons, or fraud. On termination any Wallet (promo-credit) balance ends, and any outstanding host payout is settled, as required by law and these Terms; certain provisions (e.g. payment, liability, governing law) survive.

16. Changes to the service & Terms

We may update the service and these Terms. For material changes we give reasonable notice in the app. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

17. Governing law & jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by Swiss law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The courts of Zürich, Switzerland have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights that entitle a consumer to the courts or law of their place of residence.
