Update Date: 2026-06-04
Effective Date: 2026-06-04
Welcome to Park Timer (which may be marketed as 停车计时; the “App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). Please read these Terms of Use (the “Agreement”) carefully before installing, opening, or using the App. By installing, opening, tapping agree, or otherwise using any App feature, you acknowledge that you have read and accepted this Agreement. If you do not agree, please do not install or use the App.
If you are under 18 years old, please read this Agreement with a parent or legal guardian and use the App only after obtaining their explicit consent. Protections for children under 14 are also described in our Privacy Policy.
I. Definitions and Scope
1. “User” or “you” means any natural person who downloads, installs, opens, or uses the App.
2. “Services” means all features and auxiliary capabilities provided through the installed App, including local parking-rule storage, parking timers, fee estimates, next-cycle reminders, payment QR capture or import, QR link recognition, history, settings, clearing local data, contact links, and legal-document display.
3. This Agreement governs all use of the App. Some capabilities rely on Apple iOS, App Store, local device storage, system dates, Camera, photo picker, and notification services. Apple rules also apply where relevant.
II. Product Positioning and Services
1. The App is a local-first iPhone and iPad parking timer and parking-rule organizer. It helps you manually save parking-lot fee rules, current parking time, next fee-cycle reminders, payment QR entry points, and local parking history.
2. The current version may provide: parking-lot name and notes; free-duration, billing-cycle, cycle-price, and daily-cap fields; current session timer; estimated fee; remaining free time; next-cycle reminder; Camera or photo-picker QR capture; on-device QR link recognition; local notifications; local history; reuse of saved rules; settings, version, contact, Terms, and Privacy screens.
3. The App does not provide legal, medical, financial, tax, insurance, or other professional advice. Time, fee, reminder, list, and explanatory outputs are only personal organization aids and do not replace the parking operator, posted rules, payment page, regulator, or professional advice.
4. All core features in the current Park Timer version are available by default without subscriptions, lifetime purchases, paywalls, or locked functionality. The App does not charge service fees and does not provide external payment collection.
5. Automatic payment, official parking-system integration, real-time space availability, reservations, invoices, cloud sync, remote accounts, receipt OCR, or guaranteed fake-QR detection are outside the current version scope.
6. System time, regional format, user input, device storage, system cleanup, notification permissions, Low Power Mode, iOS version differences, and platform policies may affect behavior. The parking operator, payment platform, posted rules, and your original records remain the final reference.
III. Accounts, Network, and Updates
1. The App does not require a proprietary cloud account. You do not need to register a username, password, phone number, or email to use the core local features.
2. The current version does not rely on our server or API to store your parking rules, active timer, parking history, QR images, or recognized payment links. Records and images are stored locally by default. Apple system backup, migration, or other Apple services are governed by Apple and your system settings.
3. Legal pages, App Store metadata, support pages, or system links may be accessed over the internet. If you open an external payment link, you may leave the App or enter a third-party page, payment service, or other app. Those services are controlled by their providers.
4. We may release updates from time to time, including bug fixes, experience improvements, rule adjustments, language expansion, or compliance updates. Continued use of an updated version means acceptance of the then-current terms.
IV. Use Rules
1. The current version is a parking timer, and the core parking rules, timer, fee estimate, QR saving, reminders, and history are available by default.
2. Current availability does not mean we promise permanent maintenance, compatibility with every system version, or no future product changes. If paid versions, cloud services, or other commercial features are added later, we will describe them in the feature entry point, App Store page, and legal documents.
3. The App does not process bank cards, payment accounts, funds, refunds, invoices, or parking-fee disputes. External parking payments, refunds, invoices, abnormal charges, and exit disputes should be handled by the parking operator, payment platform, or relevant third party.
4. Do not use the App as your sole basis for exit timing, payment, or dispute evidence. Keep posted rules, payment pages, payment receipts, and on-site records.
V. Permissions and Authorization
1. Manual parking rules, timers, fee estimates, and history can be used without granting Camera or notification permission. QR capture, QR import, payment-link recognition, and cycle reminders require the related permission or system capability.
2. Camera is used only when you choose to capture a parking payment QR code. The photo picker is used only when you choose an image to import. QR recognition is performed on-device to extract a link that can be opened by you.
3. Local notifications are used only when you enable next-cycle reminders. You may deny or later revoke permissions in system settings. Denying permission affects only the corresponding capture or reminder feature.
4. We do not call sensitive permissions in the background without your action. Any new permission must remain aligned with product behavior, the Privacy Policy, Info.plist usage descriptions, and App Store privacy disclosures.
VI. User Conduct
1. You are responsible for ensuring that content you enter, save, export, share, or show to others is lawful and does not infringe third-party rights.
2. You may not use the App to forge or alter parking records, transaction information, payment evidence, or dispute materials; store or distribute unlawful, infringing, fraudulent, defamatory, hateful, violent, terrorist, or improper content; interfere with the App, systems, devices, or services; reverse engineer or bypass authorization controls; or use automation to abuse the App or infringe privacy, property, or contract rights.
3. Third-party processing, refunds, claims, disputes, or similar matters depend on the relevant third party, platform, law, and original records. We do not guarantee that any App record will be accepted by a third party.
VII. Data, Privacy, and Local Storage
1. Please read the Privacy Policy in full. It forms an integral part of this Agreement.
2. In summary, parking-lot names, notes, fee rules, active timers, reminders, QR images, recognized payment links, parking dates, and history summaries are processed and stored locally by default. We do not operate a cloud account or server for centralized storage of ordinary users’ parking records or QR images.
3. You are responsible for checking input accuracy and backing up important evidence. We are not responsible, to the extent permitted by law, for data loss or inaccurate records caused by device loss, damage, app deletion, system cleanup, disabled backup, mistaken deletion, abnormal system upgrade, or user input error.
4. You may clear local parking data in App settings. Local parking rules, active timers, history, and QR images will be deleted from the App’s local storage, while system backups, external payment pages, and third-party services remain outside the App’s control.
VIII. Intellectual Property
1. Program code, interface design, icons, copy, interaction flows, and related documents are owned by us or the lawful rights holders. Except as expressly permitted by law or this Agreement, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, or use them for competing commercial purposes.
2. Content you enter, generate, or lawfully hold remains owned by you or the lawful rights holder. You grant us the limited license necessary to display, calculate, sort, filter, schedule reminders, and save that content locally on the device.
3. If you believe the App infringes your lawful rights, please contact us with a rights notice and supporting materials.
IX. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
1. The App is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable, or are liable only as required by mandatory law, for force majeure; third-party service failures, including Apple, parking operators, and payment platforms; device failures, incompatible system versions, insufficient storage, disabled permissions, failed notifications, inaccurate system time, jailbroken devices, unofficial installations, or improper operation; inaccurate user input, changed parking rules, missing original records, or failure to follow third-party policies; your breach of this Agreement or law; or security risks from unofficial installation channels.
2. Fee estimates are based only on rules you enter. Actual charges are determined by the parking operator, payment page, or posted rules. Notifications may be affected by permissions, settings, Low Power Mode, network, device state, or Apple platform policy.
3. In any case, our total liability to you, if any, shall not exceed the amount you actually paid us for the disputed matter. If you paid us nothing, liability is limited to the extent allowed by law.
4. Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of damages; mandatory local law controls where applicable.
X. Changes and Termination
1. We may revise this Agreement from time to time and notify you through in-app notices, announcements, App Store metadata, or other reasonable means.
2. If you do not agree to revised terms, stop using the App. Continued use means acceptance.
3. You may stop using and uninstall the App at any time. We may also stop providing all or part of the Services in compliance with law.
XI. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
1. This Agreement is governed by the laws of mainland China, excluding conflict-of-law rules, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.
2. Disputes should first be resolved through friendly negotiation. If negotiation fails, either party may bring a lawsuit before a court with jurisdiction at the defendant’s domicile.
XII. Miscellaneous
1. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective.
2. This Agreement, the Privacy Policy, and App Store rules together form the complete conditions for using the App.
