Each time you book a Spot on the GrydPark Platform, a legally binding agreement is formed between you and the Providing User in accordance with the terms of the Parking Spot Rental Agreement, and any unilateral modifications or imposition of your own terms are rejected.

Payments are processed on the last day of the month via the payment method linked to your GrydPark Account. If your payment fails, you have until the fifth day of the month to contact GrydPark with a new acceptable Payment Instrument (as defined below). If payment has not been received by the fifth day of the month, the Monthly Spot will be forfeited by the Parker. If you do not wish to renew your Monthly Spot for the following month, you can cancel at any time before the final day of the month. If your Monthly Spot is not available to rent the following month, we will notify you and prompt you to select a new Monthly Spot for the next month.
