The Site, Application and Services are intended solely for persons who are 18 or older. Any access to or use of the Site, Application or Services by anyone under 18 is expressly prohibited. By accessing or using the Site, Application or Services you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older.
How the Site, Application and Services Work
As stated above, Veer makes available an online mobile platform that connects Parking Facilities with drivers seeking temporary parking at the nearest and cheapest locations. Veer is not an owner or operator of any Parking Facility and Veer does not own, furnish, provide, rent, manage and/or control Parking Facilities or parking services. Veer’s responsibilities are limited to facilitating the availability of the Site, Application and Services.
The Site is solely a landing page that provides Users information about our Services and where to download our Application. Our Application and Services can be used by Users solely to locate Parking Facilities. Our Services do not include the option to reserve a parking space with, or make any payment to, a Parking Facility. We provide information of Parking Facilities, including name, contact information, rates/prices, photo of rate card if available, photo of entrance if available, and hours of operation. The names that we use in our Application do not necessarily match the actual names of such Parking Facilities, which we chose at our discretion to more easily help our Users navigate to the selected destination. The data included in the Application with respect to any Parking Facility is manually curated and collected and subject to human error, and as such we do not guarantee that this information will be accurate at all times. Veer makes no representation or warranty (i) regarding the accuracy of any data received from any Parking Facility, or (ii) on behalf of any Parking Facility in any capacity. Veer is in no way affiliated with or under common control with any Parking Facility. You acknowledge that each Parking Facility may have its own policies, terms, and conditions.
We also do not guarantee that any location recommended by our Application will in fact be the nearest and cheapest parking location in the vicinity of your final destination. We are not responsible for errors in our proprietary algorithm with respect to finding the nearest and cheapest Parking Facility in your vicinity. Veer does not include all Parking Facilities in any given area and we do not guarantee full inclusion or coverage of all parking options at the User’s location.
The Application uses GPS locator capabilities to identify your location at the time of use in order to identify nearby parking options for our Users, which location data is passed to Google Maps or Apple Maps for routing purposes. We are not responsible for third parties storing or using your location data, or for any incorrect routing information provided by Google Maps or Apple Maps. We automatically save the GPS location of your car for your convenience at any given Parking Facility, and provide you the option to note specific parking details or take a photograph of the exact location within a Parking Facility. We do not retain a copy of this data, which is only temporarily stored in the User’s phone during each session, and which may not be recalled for future use once you have completed your stay with any Parking Facility.
Our Application asks each User if he/she was able to find parking successfully at the chosen destination for the sole purpose of tracking the parking stay by our User in order to improve our Services, and any answer that you provide to us is optional.
In furtherance of (and not in any limitation of) the above, you hereby acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding the assistance that the Services provide to you in locating the nearest and cheapest Parking Facilities, the ultimate decision to utilize the parking information provided by the Services and to park at any Parking Facility remains yours and yours alone, and you hereby agree to assume any risk inherent in utilizing the Services and/or deciding to actually park at any Parking Facility. Veer assumes no responsibility or liability for the safety of any vehicle parked at any particular Parking Facility (or the safety of any person or property in any Parking Facility). Further, no guarantee is provided by Veer as to the actual availability of a specific parking space within any Parking Facility.
Account Registration
You may access our Application without registering or creating an account (“Veer Account”). You may also login to our Application using Facebook, or by creating a Veer Account directly on our Application using your email address. With a Veer Account, you would be able to share your location through Facebook. Veer does not automatically share any User location with Facebook, unless User manually chooses to share his or her location with his or her Facebook network, and we are not responsible for any consequences associated with you voluntarily sharing your location to your Facebook network.
Veer enables a User to email or SMS text a link to his/her contacts to download the Application, but we would only do so if the User manually chooses to send such link.
We will create your Veer Account and your Veer Account profile page for your use of the Application based upon the personal information you provide to us. You may not have more than one (1) active Veer Account. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete. Veer reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Veer Account and your access to the Application and Services if you create more than one (1) Veer Account or if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, not current or incomplete. You are responsible for safeguarding your password. You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party and that you will take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your Veer Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You will immediately notify Veer of any unauthorized use of your Veer Account.
Prices
The price for parking at any Parking Facility will be as quoted on the Application from time to time. We provide a calculation of the price of the parking session for informational purposes only, but do not guarantee that this price will conform to the price ultimately charged by a Parking Facility. Prices shown on our Application are derived through a proprietary algorithm developed and owned by Veer, and such prices are not guaranteed to be accurate at all times. If there is any pricing discrepancy between the rate posted in our Application, and the rate or charge requested by any Parking Facility, the rate or charge of the Parking Facility will always prevail. Any rate or price calculations that we provided in our Application do not include extra fees, charges, taxes, or any other costs that the Parking Facility may choose to impose on the User’s parking stay.
We track a User’s parking time for informational purposes only and do not guarantee that the final time tracked by our Application will approximate the final time charged by any Parking Facility. It is the User’s sole responsibility to track his/her own time independently of the timer provided by our Application in order to determine accurate charges to be paid to any Parking Facility.

Accessing and Downloading the Application from iTunes
The following applies to any Application accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store (“App Store Sourced Application”):
· You acknowledge and agree that (i) these Terms are concluded between you and Veer only, and not Apple, and (ii) Veer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App Store Sourced Application and content thereof. Your use of the App Store Sourced Application must comply with the App Store Terms of Services.
· You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App Store Sourced Application.
· You and Veer acknowledge that, as between Veer and Apple, Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of the App Store Sourced Application, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App Store Sourced Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
· You and Veer acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of that App Store Sourced Application infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between Veer and Apple, Veer, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by these Terms.
· You and Veer acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
· Without limiting any other terms of these Terms, you must comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App Store Sourced Application.
Entire Agreement
These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Veer and you regarding the Site, Application and Services, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Veer and you regarding the Site, Application and Services.
Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Veer’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. Veer may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
Notices
Any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be in writing and given by Veer (i) via email (in each case to the address that you provide) or (ii) by posting to the Site or via the Application. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.
Controlling Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. You and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts or a United States District Court located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts for any actions for which the parties retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, as set forth in the Dispute Resolution provision below.
Dispute Resolution
Any and all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action (including the interpretation and scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, count, claim, or cause of action) between you and Veer or their successors or assigns shall exclusively be settled through binding and confidential arbitration.
Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). As modified by these Terms, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the “Rules and Procedures”).
You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.
You and Veer must abide by the following rules: (a) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR VEER MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (b) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF; (c) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, Veer will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation, (d) Veer also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration; (e) the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (f) the arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award; (g) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (h) each side pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses, and, in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by the applicable law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Veer may bring an individual action in small claims court. Further, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall not be subject to this arbitration agreement. Such claims shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts. Additionally, notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before the state or federal courts located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and hereby agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Suffolk County, Massachusetts for such purpose. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
With the exception of subparts (a) and (b) in this Section (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting part was not contained herein. If, however, either subpart (a) or (b) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor Veer shall be entitled to arbitration. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or federal court located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts.
For more information on AAA, the Rules and Procedures, or the process for filing an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at http://www.adr.org.
Massachusetts Use Only
The Site and Application are controlled and operated by Veer from its offices in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Veer makes no representation that any of the materials or the services to which you have been given access are available or appropriate for use in other locations. Your use of or access to the Application should not be construed as Veer’s purposefully availing itself of the benefits or privilege of doing business in any state or jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
General
You agree that no joint venture, partnership, or employment relationship exists between you and Veer as a result of these Terms or use of the Services. Further, no joint venture, partnership, or employment relationship exists between Veer and any Parking Facility. To the extent allowed by applicable law, you agree that you will bring any claim or cause of action arising from or relating to your access or use of the Services within two (2) years from the date on which such claim or action arose or accrued or such claim or cause of action will be irrevocably waived. If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and these Terms shall continue in effect. The failure of Veer to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Veer. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
