Terms of service
Last updated 11 October 2026
Draft for design. Not final legal text.
These terms apply when you book parking in the Parkina app, or list and manage a facility on the Owner Portal.
1. Who these terms cover
Drivers who book parking through the Parkina Android app, and facility owners and their attendants who use the Owner Portal and the Operations app.
2. Parkina’s role
Parkina runs the marketplace and is the merchant of record. Drivers pay Parkina, Parkina issues the receipt, and Parkina settles with the facility owner. Each facility is operated by its owner.
3. Bookings and payment
- Prices are shown in ETB and include VAT.
- You pay with TeleBirr. A booking is confirmed only when TeleBirr confirms the payment and the booking shows as Paid.
- A paid booking holds a space at the facility for the time window you chose.
- Cancellation and refund rules: to be confirmed by product and legal.
4. At the facility
Show your QR pass at the gate. The plate on your vehicle should match the plate on the booking. Follow the facility’s rules and the attendant’s instructions while parked.
5. Owners and operators
New owners are reviewed before a facility goes live. Owners are responsible for accurate facility details, rates and hours, and for honouring paid bookings. Parkina settles booking amounts as described in the owner agreement.
6. Your account
Keep your phone number and vehicle details up to date. Don’t share your account. We may suspend accounts used for fraud or misuse.
7. Changes and contact
If we change these terms, we’ll update the date above and tell you in the app for significant changes. Questions: use the contact form.
