Use of the Site, and a fortiori your prior and compulsory registration as a seller or hirer confirms, insofar as is necessary, your acknowledgement and acceptance of these conditions of use. These conditions may be subject to change, and we therefore invite you to check their content regularly in order to take note of any changes. Unless otherwise indicated, these changes will in principle be effective as soon as they are published on the Site.
If you do not accept these conditions, you may not use Parking.be or any of its associated services.

For your registration to be effective, you must choose a username (Parking.be username) and provide a contact email address in order to create your password.

- disseminate viruses or any other technology likely to prejudice the proper operation of the Site or the interests of other Site users,
- collect and/or process in any way information about other Parking.be users, such as their email addresses, without a legitimate reason or without obtaining their prior consent.
- Advertise
Only users who have previously and correctly registered on the Site may offer parking spaces for sale or rent. In addition, the user must guarantee Parking.be that he/she has the necessary rights to the content of his/her listings and that he/she authorises Parking.be to host them on the Site.
In the places provided for this purpose on the Site, it is the responsibility of each seller/lessor to describe as clearly and as completely as possible the parking space(s) he/she is offering for sale or rent and, where applicable, any conditions of sale or rent that may be associated therewith. Parking.be stresses that it does not give any guarantee regarding the parking space in question. Parking.be also does not exercise any prior control over the information communicated to it by users, with the exception of the email addresses used to confirm their registration.
It is also possible that certain sellers/renters, such as professional sellers, may also be legally obliged to provide more information than "private" sellers (such as their name, registered office and identification number in the relevant trade register), in which case it is also up to these sellers alone to comply fully with the applicable legal provisions.

- Infringements of the conditions of use of the Site
As an intermediary between sellers/renters and buyers/renters, Parking.be strives to ensure that the Site and its related services function properly and that it remains a user-friendly and safe place for exchanges. That is why Parking.be also counts on your support by inviting you to report to us any problem that is contrary to the applicable legal provisions or to the terms of use of the Site.
In a general and non-exhaustive manner, if we consider that users are contravening the conditions of use of the Site, we reserve the right to restrict, suspend and/or terminate its services with regard to them, as well as to delay the publication of hosted content, or even delete it and/or prohibit and/or restrict access to the Site.
- Limitation of liability

Parking.be also assumes no responsibility for typographical or other errors or defects in the content of the Site.
In addition, and despite all the means used by Parking.be to ensure the best possible functioning of the Site, Parking.be cannot give any guarantee concerning access, content, availability and proper functioning of the Site and cannot be held responsible for any action or inaction on the part of other users, any interruption in availability or defect in the functioning of the Site, in particular with regard to its security, whatever the cause, since this may result from numerous factors that Parking.be cannot control.
Furthermore, the websites to which hyperlinks may be made from this Site are not under the control of Parking.be and Parking.be cannot be held responsible for illegal content on these websites or for hyperlinks to other websites.

By using this Site, you acknowledge and agree that Parking.be is in reality only a place of exchange whose purpose is to put users in contact with each other to enable them to sell, buy or rent parking spaces according to the available terms and conditions that will have been determined.
In this respect, it should be emphasised that Parking.be does not intervene at any time in the transaction between buyers/renters and sellers/renters, as we merely host the content of the advertisements entrusted to us.
Parking.be is entitled to suspend the provision of the Site, either temporarily or permanently, at any time and without giving reasons. However, Parking.be will make every effort to notify users in advance.
In the event of a dispute related to the use of the Site (such as proof of the conclusion of electronic contracts), you acknowledge and agree that Parking.be's technical data will have superior evidentiary value.
Also, without prejudice to any mandatory legal provisions that may apply if you are a consumer, Parking.be cannot be held liable for any indirect damage, such as, but not limited to, loss of profits, turnover or data, for any reason whatsoever, even if Parking.be has been advised of the possibility of such damage.
In any event, Parking.be's liability to you or any other person shall be limited to the greater of (a) the total amount paid by you to us in the six (6) months prior to the commencement of the action, or (b) 150 EUR. In any event, Parking.be will not be liable for any damages resulting from its gross negligence.
Finally, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold Parking.be and its agents, officers and employees harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of the Terms of Use of the Site or any document incorporated by reference therein, or your violation of any law or right of such third party.

This information is only used within the framework set by the Privacy Protection Regulations. Furthermore, this information is stored and processed on servers located in Europe, to which Parking.be ensures that access is secured in the best possible way, both physically and technologically.
You are asked not to use our services and the Site if you do not agree with our Privacy Policy.
- General
10.1 If one or more provisions of these terms of use or of the documents incorporated by reference in them should be held to be illegal or inapplicable by virtue of a judicial or administrative decision, the other provisions will not be affected and the provision(s) concerned will, as far as possible, be replaced by one or more provisions of equivalent effect.
10.2 It is important to know that Parking.be does not approve or validate transactions that take place on the Site. Therefore, you acknowledge and accept that you alone are responsible for the legality of the actions you take through the Site. Parking.be expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with advertisements published on the Site. Our failure to act in response to a breach of the Terms of Use shall not be construed as a waiver of our right to act in the event of a further breach.
10.3 These terms of use or the documents incorporated by reference in them may be amended from time to time and, unless specifically provided otherwise, the new provisions will in principle become effective immediately when they are posted on our site.
10.4 Each party acts in its own name and for its own account. As the parties are independent, there is no intention to create between you and Parking.be any relationship of subordination, mandate or any other similar relationship.
10.5 You acknowledge and agree that the rights and obligations contained in these Terms of Use and all documents incorporated herein may be freely and automatically assigned by Parking.be to a third party in the event of a merger, transfer, acquisition or any other similar event.

Parking.be may also send you a notification by registered mail to the address provided to us at the time of your registration and this notification will in principle be deemed to have reached you within three (3) days after the sending of this registered mail.
10.8 This Site, its operation and use are governed solely by Belgian law, to the exclusion of rules relating to conflicts of law.

Information on alternative dispute resolution methods can be obtained via the following link http://ec.europa.eu/odr/
Finally, as laws and regulations can change, just because similar transactions may have taken place in the past does not necessarily mean that they are still authorised.
