these Terms and Conditions.
In case of deviation between the abovementioned provisions, they shall take precedent in the abovementioned order.
By registering with RingGo to receive our Corporate Service Offerings, you agree with and accept to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and any applicable Special Terms and Conditions, as the case may be. A binding agreement (the “Agreement”) arises when we have confirmed your registration and you gain access to our Corporate Service Offering.
You are responsible for any use of Corporate Service Offering by your Eligible Employees (including, but not limited to, the liability to make payment for such use, as the case may be), and shall procure that such use is in accordance with the Agreement.

General terms and conditions of our Corporate Service Offering
General
We offer systems that enable motorists to pay parking fees (the “Parking Fees”) and other services related to parking and vehicle use (our “Parking Payment Systems”). Our Parking Payment Systems allow for the settlement of Parking Fees for specific on‐street or off‐street locations without the need to use cash. Our “Corporate Service Offering” enable a company or other organisation (“you” or the “Customer”) to register eligible employees (“Eligible Employees”) who are entitled to use the Parking Payment Systems at the Customer’s expense.
Eligible Employees register a parking action with our Parking Payment Systems using the available methods. The Customer will pay the associated Parking Fees in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. When offering our Parking Payment Systems, we are facilitating the payment of Parking Fees on behalf of the operator of the specific on-street or off-street location.
For more details on the specific services we provide, please review https://www.myringgo.co.uk.
The Customer acknowledges that the use and availability of our Parking Payment Systems is highly dependent on the operation of a number of external factors including, without limitation, the Eligible Employees’ mobile devices, the internet, their GPS receiver and other resources the Eligible Employees can use to access our services. If Eligible Employees are unable to access and use our Parking Payment Systems for any reason, they and not us are required to use alternative payment methods to pay for parking or there may be a risk that the Eligible Employee could be liable for additional Parking Fees and parking penalties.
Our Parking Payment Systems and related services may be used in combination with services offered by public parking operators, private parking operators, and/or other partners. Such operators and partners will have their own terms of service, the Customer and/or the Eligible Employees will be required to accept before using the service. We are not responsible nor liable for the services offered by such operators and partners.
The Nominated User(s) will be able to view details of all parking actions undertaken by Eligible Employees through the Account Dashboard which can be accessed by logging into the account Dashboard.
Access to the Corporate Service Offering, registration data, etc.
Eligible Employees will be able to access our Parking Payment Systems and related services via such tools as are available from time-to-time, including mobile applications, the RingGo web page, text messaging/SMS, interactive voice recognition (IVR) and in-car applications (if applicable). Our tools are under continuous development and may be updated from time‐to‐time or discontinued. Eligible Employees must follow the tool instructions at all times and keep their devices and tools up‐to‐date.
The Parking Payment Systems has a function that allows Eligible Employees to use alternate payment methods to pay for parking. Eligible Employees will be able to use both their private account and the Customer’s account as managed by the Customer through the Nominated User(s) (the “Customer’s Account”). Every time an Eligible Employee starts a parking action, they can elect which account should be charged for such parking action. The account that has been selected in connection with that parking action will also apply by default for the next parking action, unless otherwise elected. Please note that once a parking action has been started, the selected account will be charged for such parking action and the relating invoice cannot be changed.
Nominated User(s) will be able to create a parking action on behalf of an Eligible Employee via the Account Dashboard. In such circumstances, the parking action will show as a parking session in the registered account held by the Eligible Employee to access the Parking Payment Systems.
Access to the Services, registration data, etc.
Access to the Parking Payment Systems is limited to registered accounts and such registration is subject to our approval. Prior to using the services, Eligible Employees will need to register with us as an individual user and as part of that will need to agree to the RingGo terms of services for individual users. Once this has been done, they will be able to use our tools to pay for parking using either their private account or the Customer Account. The Eligible Employee will need to identify and authenticate themselves by entering their user name or mobile phone number in combination with a password or PIN, or by using touch ID, whatever is applicable, before they can start using the services and perform parking actions and related payments through the business account.
Account information should be kept confidential and should not be shared with anyone. Registered accounts are for use by the registered user of that account only.
Administration and Use of Our Parking Payment Systems
When registering for our Corporate Services the Company will identify the person(s) who will manage the account (the “Nominated User(s)”). The Nominated User(s) will be able to – on behalf of the Customer – register Eligible Employees through the account dashboard which can be accessed by logging into the online user account (the “Account Dashboard”). The following details relating to Eligible Employees are required for registration:
Name
Vehicle Registration Number
Mobile Phone Number
In addition, the Nominated User(s) can provide to us the relevant cost code relating to invoices issued by us. Upon registration and notification of details of Eligible Employees, we will within 2 business days make the Corporate Service Offering available to Eligible Employees by providing access to our Parking Payment Systems and related services as expressly requested by the Nominated User(s). In addition, the Nominated User(s) must update the account Dashboard where any individual ceases to be an Eligible Employee. Until the moment of update of our records, the relevant Eligible Employee will still be able to access and use our Corporate Service Offering and where the Corporate Service Offering you will continue to be liable for the associated fees. The Customer is responsible and will be required to indemnify us in full against any and all claims arising of whatever nature as a result of a failure to notify us of any changes to the Eligible Employees.
The Nominated User(s) may set and manage certain restrictions and limitations which may apply in relation to an Eligible Employee’s access and use of the Corporate Service Offering.
The Customer is ultimately responsible for any Eligible Employee and its use of Corporate Service Offering (including, but not limited to, the liability to make payment for such use, as the case may be). The Customer is responsible for any fault, negligence or breach by any Eligible Employee and will be required to indemnify us against all claims by Eligible Employees in relation to the use of the Corporate Service Offering.
No more than 2 vehicles can be associated with any Eligible Employee. Where this amount is exceeded, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement.
Eligible Employees can use our Parking Payment Systems to pay for parking at the parking spaces and areas indicated by us on the following website: www.myringgo.co.uk/parkinglocator. They cannot use our Parking Payment Systems to pay for parking outside these locations. The parking locations may change from time‐to‐time. The parking location and associated payment service is provided by the respective public or private operator of the parking location concerned. Any questions or complaints about the location should be directed to such operator. We are not responsible nor liable for loss or damage to Eligible Employees’ vehicles or other properties while using the parking locations.
Eligible Employees can pay for parking at one of the parking locations by successfully registering their parking action with our Parking Payment Systems. They can use one of the methods available in our tools to complete such registration, such as start/stop, selection and prepay of a specific duration (buy time) or capture of vehicle movements by means of in/out methods. Successful registration requires confirmation of the parking action by the Parking Payment Systems.
Additional instructions on how to register a parking action may be provided on‐site at the parking location or provided to the Nominated User(s). Eligible Employees are required to follow the instructions at all times. Further to the instructions provided by us, the Customer and the parking location controller, the following specific conditions apply:
Auto Pay on the basis of ANPR (automatic number plate recognition), RFID tag, Bluetooth, UHF tag or vehicle beacon or other vehicle identifier.Eligible Employees must register and enable Auto Pay for specific locations and vehicles, after which we can charge all Parking Fees incurred by that vehicle based on the entrance/exit of the vehicle identifier.

Eligible Employees are responsible for providing all of the necessary and correct details for their parking actions, such as vehicle number plate and the correct location code. Their parking action will be automatically processed on our Parking Payment Systems on the basis of these details. The details Eligible Employees provide about their parking action are key for us to correctly process the Parking Fees. We are not responsible for verifying whether parking action details are correct. Eligible Employees will be responsible for paying any penalty charge or Parking Fee issued as a result of incorrect parking action details.
Eligible Employees will receive confirmation messages that their parking session has commenced and reminders advising them when their parking session is due to end. We emphasize that notwithstanding this, the Eligible Employees remain responsible for the parking action. The Customer also acknowledge that receipt of the reminder depends on the availability of the Eligible Employees network and can be interrupted/delayed. Any additional costs relating to these reminders will be charged simultaneously with all other charges. Costs for these services are detailed at https://www.myringgo.co.uk/parkinglocator.
Payment and Processing
The Parking Fees are set by the respective controller of the parking location. We have no control over the amount of these Parking Fees, which may change from time‐to‐time. The Customer/Eligible Employees should not use our Parking Payment Systems if they are eligible for certain Parking Fee arrangements or discounts offered by the parking location controller as these will not always be available in our Parking Payment Systems.
In addition to the relevant Parking Fees we will charge you our fees depending on your selection and use of our Parking Payment Systems and the related services. For more details on the specific services and the applicable fees, please consult https://www .myringgo.co.uk/parkinglocator. The Customer/Eligible Employees are responsible for all costs charged by third parties for accessing or using our services (such as telephone, SMS or data charges applied by mobile operators).
In additional to all other charges, the Customer will pay the monthly RingGo corporate fee (the “RingGo Corporate Fee”) which will be based on the number of Eligible Employees. The RingGo Corporate Fee will be as set out on the RingGo Corporate website from time-to-time.
Before the Corporate Service Offering can be used by Eligible Employees to pay for parking, the Customer will be required to make a payment on account. This payment on account will be used to cover the costs of all Parking Fees incurred by Eligible Employees. Please be aware that an Eligible Employee will not be able pay for a parking session using the services where insufficient funds are available on account. It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that sufficient funds are held on account to cover the Parking Fees.
The Parking Fees incurred by Eligible Employees along with all other sums associated with the Payment Parking Services will be deducted from the payment held on account. We will provide the Customer a monthly invoice setting out all fees that have been charged for that month.
