7. Bay and Secure Car Park allocation

Upon reallocation by Secure, any necessary changes shall be deemed made to your Application. For the avoidance of doubt, your use of a Permanent Parking Space to which you have been allocated in another car park is still subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

8. Vehicle access

8.1 Before parking a Vehicle you must validate your Access Device. To validate your Access Device you must notify Secure of the Vehicle to which the Access Device corresponds, the Vehicle owner’s name and the Vehicle’s registration number (and any other details Secure requests) and Secure must confirm access to the Secure Car Park for that Vehicle.

8.2 If you use an Access Device, or permit it to be used, so as to park more than the Agreed Number of Vehicles in a Secure Car Park at any one time, you agree to pay for parking the excess vehicles at the daily tariff rates for casual parking at the relevant Secure Car Park at the time those vehicles were parked in the Secure Car Park. Secure may require you to pay this amount at any time.

8.3 As a condition of granting such additional access to the Secure Car Park, Secure may charge you its then current fee for issue or alteration of additional Access Devices. Where access arrangements are varied as to the Vehicle or otherwise, you must also pay Secure’s then current charges for relevant system changes (including but not limited to licence plate recognition) or if no fee is then current, a fee Secure determines in its discretion acting reasonably.

8.4 If you are not in possession of your validated Access Device, or your Access Device is deactivated for any reason, then when entering or leaving a Secure Car Park you must pay the daily parking tariff for casual parking at the Secure Car Park at that time. All physical Access Devices remain the property of Secure and must be returned when this Agreement terminates, or earlier if Secure requests. Should any Access Device not be returned for any reason, or be damaged, you must pay Secure’s then current Access Device replacement fee.

9. Payment

9.1 You must pay Secure the Permanent Space Fees without any deduction monthly in advance. Permanent Space Fees are due and payable before the first day of every calendar month, with the first pro rata payment due on the date of this Agreement. Secure may charge a reasonable fee for processing payments made by credit card.

9.2 Any other purchase, receipt, consumption, value added tax, sales tax, levy, or any other duty tax or other impost that may be imposed in respect of any Permanent Parking Space or upon car parking or upon using the Secure Car Park (Parking Impost), or upon this Agreement or anything supplied under this Agreement, is not included in the Permanent Space Fees or other fees that may be charged to you from time to time. You must pay to Secure any Parking Impost charged to, or payable by, Secure by law or otherwise to the extent which Secure considers the Parking Impost directly or indirectly attributable or apportionable to any Permanent Parking Space or any supply to you and that amount shall be recoverable by Secure on demand.

10. Parking and related obligations

10.1 You agree with Secure:

(a) that your obligation to pay any amount, fee or charge set out in this Agreement arises at the time specified for payment of that amount, fee or charge or, if no time is specified, on the completion of the services to which that amount, fee or charge relates.

(b) to pay Secure’s reasonable charges for any additional service (such as battery charging, call-out or after-hours exit) Secure may provide to you from time to time.

(c) to pay interest on demand to Secure in respect of any amounts, fee or charge not paid when due under this Agreement. Interest is to be calculated daily at the cash target rate published by the Reserve Bank of Australia from time to time plus a margin of 3% per annum. If that rate is unavailable Secure may choose a reasonably equivalent rate.

(d) to comply with all the rules and regulations relating to the management and use of each Secure Car Park as may be made from time to time by Secure, and to obey all lawful directions given by Secure and in particular, those applicable to the display or use of the Access Device, speed restrictions, traffic flow directions and areas designated as being either "no parking" or "reserved parking". The conditions of parking displayed at the entrance or within a Secure Car Park from time to time shall be deemed to be incorporated in this Agreement so far as they are not varied by or inconsistent with the express terms of this Agreement.

(e) to use the Secure Car Park only during the Authorised Access Hours.

(f) (if applicable) to allow Secure to access for any lawful purpose (including but not limited to carrying out repairs in a Secure Car Park) any part of a Secure Car Park which you may be entitled to access but Secure would not for any reason be entitled to access but for this clause.

(g) to ensure that any Authorised Parker complies with all obligations of this Agreement in respect of parking, access and conduct, as if they were you.

(h) that Secure may act on and you will be bound by any person appearing or purporting to act on your behalf in respect of all matters to do with this Agreement including its variation and termination.

(i) to comply with Secure’s requirements from time to time about the manner of payment of payment amounts under this Agreement.

(j) to take all reasonable steps to prevent the unauthorised use of any Access Device.

(k) that Secure may request your (or your Authorised Parker’s) proof of identity or signature at points of exits of Secure car parks.

(l) to pay Secure for any damage caused by you, your Authorised Parker, or your Vehicle to the relevant Secure Car Park including, but not limited to, any damage caused by oil or other substances which leak from your vehicle.

11. Security Deposit

11.1 On signing this Agreement, you must pay the security deposit and account establishment fees recorded in your Application. The security deposit may be held by Secure and applied and set-off by Secure toward any costs incurred by Secure if you breach this Agreement or toward any amount unpaid by you.

12. Variation of Fees and Space Change

12.1 Unless otherwise agreed by Secure, Secure may from time to time, give you not less than one month's prior written notice at any time of a variation of the Permanent Space Fee or any other fee specified in your Application, and/or Space Change (Variation). Notice of the Variation will be provided to you by Secure through one or more of the methods of notification prescribed in clause 3 of this Agreement. If you do not agree to the Variation, you have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Secure within 1 month of receiving notice of the Variation from Secure. You will be deemed to have accepted the Variation if you continue to use your Permanent Parking Space or the Permanent Parking App after expiry of the 1 month notice period.

13. Risk, liability and Consumer Law

13.1 The Australian Consumer Law (ACL) provides consumers with guarantees that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified. This Agreement does not affect any rights you have under the ACL or any other legal rights which cannot be excluded or modified.

13.2 For services that are not services of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption, and/or where you are in trade, you agree that Secure limits its liability, at its option, to the re-supply of the services or the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again. To the extent permitted by the ACL and subject to any other legal restriction, Secure excludes:

(a) all terms, conditions, warranties, guarantees (either express or implied) and any other liability that might apply to Secure in respect of this Agreement or anything done under them; and

(b) any liability for any indirect, special, consequential or economic loss or damage whether or not arising from default or negligence by Secure or its employees or agents, including loss or damage to your Vehicle.

13.3 You must indemnify Secure in respect of all losses, costs or expenses which Secure suffers or incurs in respect of: (a) a breach of this Agreement by you or your Authorised Parker, including enforcing them; (b) the Vehicle; or (c) your use, or your Authorised Parker’s use, of a Secure Car Park. In the case of paragraphs (b) and (c) your liability to indemnify Secure is reduced to the extent that any relevant expense is caused by Secure’s negligence or default.

14. General

14.1 Secure and its contractors, employees or agents may move any Vehicle parked in a Secure Car Park (including by entering and driving it, lifting it, sliding it or towing it) if Secure reasonably considers:

(a) it necessary in an emergency;

(b) that the Vehicle has been abandoned; and/or

(c) it necessary for the safe or efficient operation of a Secure Car Park. Secure may charge you a reasonable amount for moving the Vehicle if the need to move it arises because you or your Authorised Parker has breached this Agreement, appear to abandon the Vehicle, or have caused obstruction or during the period of retention or sale for non-payment. Secure may deny a Vehicle access to or departure from a Secure Car Park if any amount you owe Secure has not been received by Secure by the time it is due.

14.2 Unless the contrary is clear, fees or charges payable under this Agreement are calculated exclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Secure may add GST to any such amount and the GST shall be payable at the same time as fee, charge or other amount is payable. If the fee, charge or other amount is inclusive of GST but the rate of GST varies from that previously applicable, Secure may vary it accordingly.

14.3 You grant Secure a ‘security interest’ as defined in the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) (PPSA) in the Vehicle to secure everything you owe Secure in respect of this Agreement. Secure may retain possession of the vehicle until everything you owe Secure in respect of this Agreement has been paid. Amounts Secure claims will continue to accrue during the period that Secure retains the Vehicle until Secure recovers all amounts from you. If amounts due to Secure in respect of this Agreement remain unpaid after 30 days, you agree that Secure can sell the Vehicle and use the proceeds to pay the amounts you owe Secure and you agree to take all steps required by Secure to enable Secure to do so. Our rights and powers in relation to the security interest described in this clause do not limit our rights and powers under the PPSA. Nothing in this contract limits or excludes any common law or statutory lien or other rights we have over the Vehicle.

14.4 You agree and accept that Secure does not accept, nor does it have authority to accept, any vehicle or any other goods or chattels for secure or safe parking or custody.

14.5 The use of the word ‘Secure’ in the name ‘Secure Parking’ does not imply anything to the contrary.

14.6 To the extent permitted by the ACL and subject to any other legal restriction, Secure will not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever to any such vehicle goods or chattels alleged to have been left with Secure for safe custody howsoever such loss or damage may be caused, whether by the negligence or otherwise of Secure or by the negligence or otherwise of any person acting with or without the authority of Secure.

14.7 Secure may give you notice under this Agreement by sending a notice to you at the address you give in your Application or any other address you notify to Secure or at any other address where Secure reasonably believes you to work, stay or reside. If you give Secure an email address, Secure may also give you notices by email to that address. Secure may also give you a notice by leaving it on or in your Vehicle inside or outside a Secure Car Park. Each of these methods of notice may also be used to give you notice for the purposes of any legal proceedings. You should notify Secure if your contact details change.

14.8 You must pay Secure its full costs of any action to recover amounts you owe including Secure’s legal and mercantile agents’ fees on a full indemnity basis.

14.9 Secure is committed to your privacy and handles all personal information in accordance with applicable privacy laws. We have a privacy policy which records how: (a) Secure collects, stores, uses and discloses your personal information; (b) you may request access to, and correction of, the personal information about you that Secure holds; (c) you may complain about a potential breach by Secure of the applicable privacy laws, and how Secure will deal with such a complaint. A copy of Secure’s privacy policy is available.

14.10 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any bailment or tenancy or conferring any interest upon you by way of lease or otherwise in a Secure Car Park or Permanent Parking Space. This Agreement is personal to you and you may not transfer any of your rights or obligations in respect of it. Secure may transfer both its rights and obligations under this Agreement and you must sign any novation or other document Secure requires for that purpose.

14.11 To the extent that any provision or part of this Agreement is either invalid or unenforceable by any applicable law that provisions or part shall be ineffective and shall not invalidate or modify the remaining provisions or parts hereof, which shall continue in full force and effect.

14.12 Time shall be of the essence for the purposes of this Agreement in respect of your obligations. No time or other indulgence granted by Secure shall constitute a waiver of any of its rights herein or at law and Secure shall not be precluded from exercising any such rights against you which may have arisen in the past or which might arise in the future.

14.13 If Secure makes parking available to you after you are given this Agreement you are taken to have accepted this Agreement and it binds you even if Secure or you do not date or sign it.

14.14 For internal accounting purposes Secure may clear a credit balance at any time more than 12 months after you last incurred charges. Secure is not required to investigate or refund credit balances to you until requested to do so in writing.

15. Flexi Perm

15.15 If the Authorised Parker has selected a Flexi Perm space they must only access the Secure Car Park with their Vehicle on the Nominated Days using the Flexi Perm PIN. If the Vehicle accesses the Secure Car Park on days other than the Nominated Days the usual drive in casual rates will apply. If the Vehicle enters the Secure Car Park on a Nominated Day but remains in the Secure Car Park on the following day and that following day is not a Nominated Day then the Authorised Parker will be liable to pay an “Overstay Fee” which will be the amount calculated at the casual drive up rate for the relevant Secure Car Park commencing on the first day which is not a Nominated Day and ending on the day the Vehicle leaves the relevant Secure Car Park (Overstay Period). For the avoidance of doubt the Authorised Parker will not be entitled to any refund or credit for Nominated Days which may fall within the Overstay Period. The Flexi Perm Pin is valid for multiple entries and exits on the Nominated Days during normal operating hours.
