Terms & Conditions
Acceptance of Terms
Last Updated: March 5th, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Makeway website, mobile application, and all related services (collectively, the "Service") operated by MAKE WAY LLC ("Makeway," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

Makeway provides a digital platform designed to facilitate the voluntary sharing of information between users related to vehicle location, parking context, and other relevant situational data. The Service enables users to communicate and share certain private data with one another in order to coordinate parking activity more efficiently. The Service does not provide parking, manage parking locations, lease parking spaces, or create legal reservations for parking spaces.

Users who access or use the Service acknowledge and agree that Makeway operates solely as a technology platform for the exchange of information and does not act as a property manager, parking operator, broker, or intermediary for the rental or reservation of physical parking spaces.
Nature of the Platform
Makeway exists to allow individuals to share private contextual information with one another that may assist with parking coordination. This may include information such as approximate location data, vehicle identification information voluntarily provided by users, and other contextual signals that may help users better understand parking availability or movement patterns.

At no point does Makeway host, rent, lease, sell, license, allocate, or legally reserve parking spaces. The platform does not create any contractual relationship between users with respect to a parking space. The Service does not guarantee that a parking space will be available, accessible, lawful to use, or appropriate for any particular purpose.

Any information displayed within the Service regarding parking activity should be understood strictly as user-provided or system-generated informational data. It is not a representation that a space is legally available, reserved, authorized, or controlled by the platform.

Users remain fully responsible for independently determining whether parking in any location is lawful and permissible.
Eligibility
To use the Service, you must be at least 18 years of age, possess a valid and non-suspended driver's license, have a valid vehicle registration and valid license plates, and be a lawful operator of the vehicle associated with your account.

By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements. Makeway reserves the right to verify eligibility and to suspend or terminate accounts that do not meet these requirements.
Regional Availability
Makeway is currently available only in Hoboken, New Jersey. Users must be physically located within the designated service area to complete transactions on the platform.

Makeway reserves the right to expand, contract, or discontinue service in specific regions at any time with notice to affected users. If service is discontinued in a user's region, their account will be suspended and any remaining wallet balance will be handled in accordance with the Wallet Balance and Account Lifecycle section of these Terms.
User Responsibilities and Lawful Use
By using the Service, you agree that your use of the platform will at all times comply with all applicable laws, local ordinances, traffic regulations, property rules, and parking restrictions. You acknowledge that parking regulations may vary significantly by city, municipality, private property owner, and jurisdiction, and that it is your responsibility to verify compliance before parking in any location.

Users are solely and entirely responsible for reading and complying with all posted street signs, time restrictions, permit requirements, and any other applicable parking regulations before parking in any location. Users agree not to rely on the platform as a legal authority regarding parking eligibility. The Service does not interpret, enforce, or guarantee compliance with local parking laws.

You further agree to conduct yourself responsibly while using the platform and to respect the rights of property owners, other drivers, and surrounding communities. Users must not attempt to use the platform in a way that stretches or circumvents legal boundaries related to parking access, trespassing, traffic laws, or property rights.

If a property owner, building manager, law enforcement officer, or authorized authority instructs you to move your vehicle or refrain from parking in a location, you must immediately comply regardless of any information displayed within the Service.

Makeway assumes no responsibility for parking violations, towing, tickets, fines, vehicle damage, property damage, or disputes that may arise from a user's decision to park in any location. Users assume all risk and responsibility for their parking decisions.
Accounts and User Information
In order to access the Service, users are required to create an account. When registering for an account, you agree to provide accurate and truthful information and to keep that information updated. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

Upon registration, users are required to provide their full license plate number, vehicle year, make, and model, and other identifying information. Providing false or fraudulent vehicle, license, or identity information is a violation of these Terms and grounds for immediate account termination.

The full license plate number is stored securely on Makeway's backend systems for identity verification, fraud prevention, and dispute resolution purposes. Only the last three digits of a user's license plate are displayed to other users, alongside the user's first name and vehicle year, make, and model. This limited information is shared to facilitate transaction identification and coordination between users.

By submitting vehicle and personal information, you acknowledge that limited information may be shared with other users through the Service as part of the platform's coordination features, as described above.

Makeway reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that provide false information, misuse the Service, attempt to manipulate the platform, or violate these Terms.
Payout Structure and Rewards
Makeway rewards users for qualifying actions performed on the platform. A qualifying action is defined as a successful parking information transaction in which both participating users confirm completion and are verified to be in geographic proximity.

Payout Amount: Users earn a flat fee of $2.00 USD per qualifying action. Makeway reserves the right to modify the payout amount at any time. Users will be notified of material changes to the payout amount. Continued use of the Service after notification constitutes acceptance of the updated payout amount.

Transaction Limits: Users are limited to a maximum of two rewarded transactions per calendar day. A minimum of one hour must elapse between transactions. Once daily or weekly limits are reached, no further rewarded transactions will be processed until the next applicable period.

Weekly Payout Cap: The maximum payout a user may earn is $10.00 USD per week.

Minimum Withdrawal: Users must accumulate a minimum balance of $10.00 USD in their wallet before requesting a withdrawal.

Wallet and Payout Mechanics: Earned rewards are stored in an in-app wallet. Withdrawals are processed through Stripe, a third-party payment processor. Makeway does not collect, store, or have access to users' banking credentials, payment card numbers, or other financial information. All payout processing is handled entirely by Stripe and is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Subject to Change: As the platform evolves, Makeway may adjust transaction limits, payout amounts, weekly caps, and withdrawal thresholds. Users will be notified of material changes to these policies. Continued use of the Service after notification constitutes acceptance of updated policies.
Wallet Balance and Account Lifecycle
Voluntary Account Closure: Users must withdraw their remaining wallet balance before deleting their account. If an account is deleted with a remaining balance, that balance is forfeited.

Account Suspension for Investigation: Makeway may suspend accounts and freeze wallet payouts pending investigation of suspected fraudulent or abusive activity. Users will be notified of the suspension. If the investigation clears the account, normal functionality will resume. If the account remains suspended for more than thirty days without user response or resolution, Makeway may terminate the account and forfeit the remaining wallet balance.

Account Termination for Violations: Accounts terminated due to fraudulent activity, repeated abuse of the dispute process, or violation of these Terms will result in forfeiture of any remaining wallet balance. No payout will be issued.

Regional Discontinuation: If service is discontinued in a user's region, any remaining wallet balance will be paid out. Users will be given reasonable notice and a window to withdraw their balance.

Account Inactivity: If an account remains inactive for twelve months with a remaining balance, the user will receive a notification at their registered email address or phone number. If the user does not respond within thirty days of notification, the balance will be forfeited and the account will be closed.
Transaction Dispute Resolution
Makeway employs verification measures to ensure the integrity of transactions on the platform. Both participating users must confirm transaction completion, and geographic proximity is verified. Timestamps and activity logs are maintained for dispute resolution purposes.

If a user believes a transaction was completed in error or was not properly credited, they may submit a dispute by contacting Makeway support at support@makeway.net.

Makeway reserves the right to investigate any disputed transaction using available evidence, including user confirmations, location data, timestamps, and activity logs. If an investigation reveals fraudulent activity, abuse of the dispute process, or violation of these Terms, Makeway reserves the right to suspend or terminate the user's account. Users will be notified of account suspension, though such notification may occur after suspension takes effect.

Users acknowledge that providing false or misleading information in a dispute is a violation of these Terms and may result in immediate account termination and forfeiture of any remaining wallet balance.
Data Sharing and Informational Signals
The functionality of the Service depends on the voluntary sharing of certain contextual signals between users. These signals may include location-based data, user activity indicators, vehicle descriptions, and other contextual information that helps users understand parking dynamics in their surrounding environment.

Users should understand that the Service is designed to share information rather than grant permissions. Information displayed within the platform is informational in nature and does not constitute a legal authorization, property right, or guaranteed opportunity to park.

By participating in the Service, you acknowledge that the information shared through the platform may not always be accurate, complete, or current. Users are expected to exercise independent judgment when interpreting and acting upon information presented within the platform.
Platform Limitations and Disclaimers
The Service is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. Makeway makes no guarantees regarding the accuracy, reliability, or availability of the information displayed within the platform.

Makeway does not guarantee that users will find parking through the platform, that parking locations identified through the platform will remain available, or that other users will behave in a predictable or lawful manner.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Makeway disclaims any responsibility for losses, damages, penalties, fines, towing incidents, vehicle damage, or disputes between users that arise from the use of the Service.

The decision to park in any location remains solely the responsibility of the user.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. MAKEWAY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MAKEWAY'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO ANY USER FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED FIFTY DOLLARS ($50.00 USD). THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, AND EVEN IF MAKEWAY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.IN NO EVENT SHALL MAKEWAY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MAKE WAY LLC, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, your parking decisions or interactions with other users, any dispute between you and a property owner, law enforcement agency, municipality, or third party related to parking, and any claim that your use of the platform caused damage, loss, or injury to another party.
Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Makeway agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of the Service shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration and not in a court of law. Arbitration shall be conducted under the rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in the State of New Jersey.

Class Action Waiver. You and Makeway agree that all claims shall be brought in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.

Small Claims Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim falls within the court's jurisdictional limits.

Opt-Out Right. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@makeway.net within thirty days of first accepting these Terms. If you opt out, the Governing Law and jurisdiction provisions of these Terms will apply.
Property Owner Non-Affiliation Disclaimer
Makeway is not affiliated with property owners, landlords, parking operators, municipalities, or transportation authorities unless explicitly stated.

The platform does not represent that property owners have approved, endorsed, or authorized the sharing of information related to parking activity on their property.

Users acknowledge that the presence of information about a location within the platform does not imply permission from a property owner to park in that location. Any disputes between users and property owners must be resolved directly between those parties.
Third-Party Payment Processing
Makeway uses Stripe as its third-party payment processor for all wallet and payout functionality. Makeway does not collect, store, or have access to users' banking credentials, payment card numbers, or Social Security numbers.

Any financial or identity verification information required by Stripe is submitted directly to Stripe through their embedded interface and is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Users are encouraged to review Stripe's privacy practices at stripe.com/privacy.

Makeway is not responsible for Stripe's handling of user data, payment processing delays, or errors in payout delivery caused by incorrect information provided by the user to Stripe.
Intellectual Property
All intellectual property associated with the Makeway platform, including but not limited to software code, interface design, branding, trademarks, graphics, and system architecture, is owned by or licensed to MAKE WAY LLC.

Users are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Service for personal use in accordance with these Terms. Users may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, reverse engineer, or create derivative works based on the platform without prior written consent from MAKE WAY LLC.
Suspension and Termination
Makeway reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to the Service at any time if a user engages in conduct that violates these Terms, attempts to misuse the platform, disrupts system operations, engages in fraudulent activity, abuses the dispute resolution process, or engages in activity that may create legal risk for the platform or other users.

Suspension or termination may occur without prior notice if the conduct poses a risk to the platform or its community. Users will be notified of account suspension, though such notification may occur after the suspension takes effect.

Upon termination, the user's wallet balance will be handled in accordance with the Wallet Balance and Account Lifecycle section of these Terms.
Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Subject to the Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section above, any disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Service that are not subject to arbitration shall be resolved within the appropriate courts located in New Jersey.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain state-specific consumer protection rights may apply to users located in jurisdictions outside New Jersey where required by applicable law. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit or override those rights.
Changes to the Terms
