Secure Payment

The CPA does not collect credit card information. Instead, credit card information is collected by a third-party payment processer (Bambora AB, a registered ISO of TD Bank or Moneris Solutions Corporation, as applicable) in compliance with Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards.

Your credit card information may be stored by Bambora AB or Moneris Solutions Corporation (as applicable) to facilitate payment for future purchases that you may wish to make.  By using the CPA’s services, you consent to the storage of credit card information for this purpose. 

For information regarding secure payment and privacy issues relating to your credit card information, contact your financial institution.

While the CPA is PCI compliant to ensure industry-standard measures are taken to protect credit card information, customers pay for CPA services at their own risk. 

The use of illegal, invalid, expired or other payment methods where insufficient funds exist are subject to all fees incurred by the CPA and a denial of services at the CPA's sole discretion without notice. 

Pay Machine Payments

• If a customer encounters a pay machine that is out of order, they must proceed to another pay machine to make payment using one of the functioning payment methods provided or otherwise ensure payment is made. Payment can be made at any ParkPlus pay machine located in the same pricing management area where the customer has parked.
• The customer is responsible for entering the correct license plate number into the pay machine.

ParkPlus Cell Phone Account

• When using the cell phone payment system an Interactive Voice Response system prompts users to enter information specific to their parking session. The responsibility for the accuracy of information lies with the customer, not the CPA. Errors made by the customer may result in parking fines or service denial.
• Some services offered are dependent on the customer's cell phone or internet service provider. The CPA does not warrant or guarantee compatibility or service levels of third-party service providers.
• One feature of the ParkPlus System cell phone payment system is a 'call back' service that alerts or warns customers of parking time expiry. Responsibility for compliance with parking laws, however, remains with the customer even if no such warning is issued by the CPA due to system failure or any other reason. The ParkPlus MyParking App does not have a call back service but has in-app notifications. 
• While 'cell phone' payment is offered for curbside and parking lots as a customer service, in the event of a system failure, customers must pay for parking by using ParkPlus Pay Machines that are on-street or in parking lots.
• The SMS messaging feature in Text to Park allows users to pay for parking by texting 77587. Note that CPA does not charge for this feature, but standard carrier message rates may still apply. For help, please text HELP, INFO or AIDE to 77587. To be removed from program, text STOP or ARRET to 77587.

Applicable Law

Parking is controlled by “traffic control devices” as defined in the Alberta Traffic Safety Act. Parking and traffic regulations are found in the Traffic Safety Act, the Calgary Traffic Bylaw and the Calgary Parking Bylaw. Paying for parking does not alleviate the vehicle operator's responsibility to park legally, in accordance with posted signs, at all times.

The CPA website is controlled from its office within the Province of Alberta, Canada. The website can be accessed from all provinces and territories of Canada, as well as from other countries around the world. As each of these jurisdictions has laws that may differ from those of the Province of Alberta, by accessing the CPA website, the customer agrees that all matters relating to access to, or use of, the website or any CPA services, shall be governed by Alberta law and the federal laws of Canada applicable in the Province of Alberta. The customer also agrees, and hereby submits, to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the Province of Alberta and acknowledges that the customer does so voluntarily and is responsible for complying with local laws.

When licensing the use of services through the CPA website, the contract is considered to be executed within Alberta, Canada.
