Coding the Curbs - Platform Terms
Provided by Coding the Curbs B.V.
Last updated: August 2025
1. GENERAL
1.1 Coding the Curbs B.V. (“CTC”, “we”, “our”) operates an online platform that lets users search, book and monitor Smart Zones provided by partner municipalities or private ground owners (“Partners”). We digitise curbside space so cities can handle logistics more flexibly and sustainably
1.2 These Terms govern the use of the Coding the Curbs platform (the “Platform”), including the Booking App, Dashboard and Enforcement Interface. By accessing or using any part of the Platform you accept these Terms on behalf of the legal entity you represent.
1.3 These Coding the Curbs Platform Terms (the Terms) apply to the relationship between Coding the Curbs and the Users of the Platform. Use of the Platform is conditional upon compliance with these Terms. Coding the Curbs may amend these Terms from time to time. The current version is always published at codingthecurbs.com/platform-terms. We will notify Account holders by e-mail of any material change.
​1.4 Our Services are only offered to parties that act in a commercial or professional capacity, for purposes in connection with trade, business, craft or professional activity. Consequently, a User cannot be considered a consumer (in Dutch: consument), nor can any purchase via our Platform be considered a consumer purchase (in Dutch: consumentenkoop). You can only use our Services on the condition that you do not qualify as a consumer.

​
3. HOW DOES THE PLATFORM WORK?
3.1 The Platform lists Offers of Smart Zones from Partners. Each Offer states adress, bookable hours, vehicle limits and price (if any).
3.2 Making a Reservation – in the Booking  App (logged in) select future time‑slot(s) and enter required details. A Reservation becomes binding once the App & e‑mail confirmation are sent.
3.3 Making a Check‑in – at the Smart Zone, scan the QR code and enter required details in the Booking App; one immediate 15‑minute slot is allocated if available. A Check-in becomes binding once the App & e‑mail confirmation are sent.
3.4 Parking your vehicle – During the active Booking you may park only the declared vehicle in the designated Smart Zone for the duration of the Session and must vacate the space when the Session ends.
3.5 Vehicle type – while making a Check-in or Booking you must choose the correct vehicle class. If you arrive with a larger vehicle than booked, Partners may treat this as a violation.
3.6 Visibility booking data - The Booking data, including licence plate chosen, is shown on the on-street Smart Sign of that particular Smart Zone; authorised Enforcement Officials can also view real-time Booking data, including licence plate, via the Enforcement Interface.
3.7 Sensor monitoring – Smart Zones contain parking sensors. Over‑stay events may be forwarded to the Enforcement Interface; technical specifics are confidential.
3.8 Flagging blocked Smart Zones – During an active Booking you can report a blocked space; the Partner’s enforcement team receives an alert.
3.9 Dashboard access – Authorised Partners may view anonymised booking statistics only; no personal data or licence plates are shown.
​
4. REGISTRATION AND ACCOUNT
4.1 To make a Reservation you must register and create an Account. You do so by entering the requested details in the Booking App (the Account Information) and verifying your business e‑mail address via a one‑time code (OTP) that we send you. You must then choose a password of at least eight (8) characters containing letters, numbers and symbols and not reused on other services. Your Account Information together with your password or OTP constitute your Login Credentials.
4.2 You may not allow use of your Account by any unauthorised third party. You guarantee that anyone who uses the Account is authorised to represent you and you remain fully responsible for keeping the Login Credentials confidential and for all actions taken with your Account.
4.3 You agree to provide only accurate, current and complete information when creating and maintaining your Account. CTC is not liable for losses that result from inaccurate Account data.
4.4 You may create only one (1) Account on the Platform. If your Account is blocked or deleted you are no longer entitled to use the Platform.
​
5. PARTNER SERVICES
5.1 Our Platform facilitates connections between Users and Partners who provide Smart Zones and potentially related on-street services (Partner Services). Partners may have additional terms and conditions governing their services, including conditions on the use, occupancy, fees, or specific rules for Smart Zones. By using our Platform, you acknowledge and agree to comply with any such Partner terms and conditions.
5.2 Partners have the right to impose conditions and fees for overstays or any use beyond the agreed Session. Partners may request you to vacate a Smart Zone or remove your vehicle in compliance with applicable law and their own terms if you remain past your booked time. Additionally, in exceptional circumstances (such as safety or emergency situations), Partners reserve the right to remove or request removal of vehicles from a Smart Zone, even during an active Booking.
5.3 All communication, interactions, and agreements directly related to Partner Services are exclusively between you and the respective Partner. Such interactions are entirely at your and the Partner’s risk and responsibility.
5.4 CTC does not assume responsibility or liability for the Partner Services, nor for the accuracy or content of any Offer provided by Partners. We are not party to agreements made between you and any Partner and do not assume any obligations arising from such agreements unless explicitly required by applicable law.
5.5 Any disputes, issues, or claims arising from or related to Partner Services must be resolved directly between you and the Partner concerned. CTC will not intervene or mediate in these disputes.
5.6 You and the Partner must ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations when executing any agreements related to Partner Services and using the Platform.
​
6. CANCELLATION AND RESCHEDULING
6.1 You cannot edit an existing Booking/Reservation; cancel and create a new one in the App.
6.2 Cancellation is free until the start of the Session; after that usual Partner rules apply.
6.3 A No‑Show occurs if you fail to arrive during the Booking time. Three No‑Shows will result in a warning send over mail. Continued No‑Shows may lead to temporary or permanent Account suspension.
6.4 Partners may, in exceptional circumstances (such as emergencies, public safety, or unforeseen operational reasons), cancel your Reservation or Booking at any time. If this occurs, you will be promptly notified via e-mail. In the case of a paid Booking or Reservation, you will be eligible for reimbursement limited strictly to the booking fee paid. Neither the Partner nor Coding the Curbs is responsible for compensation beyond this amount.
​​
7. FEES AND PAYMENT
7.1 Platform fees – There is no fee charged by CTC for using the Platform. Booking fees can be set by the Partner for using the Smart Zones. The Booking Fees are determined by the relevant Partner and vary per Smart Zone and per time frame. We have no control over the amount of these fees, which may change from time to time. The rates shown in each Offer include VAT unless otherwise stated. You are fully responsible for correct payment of the Booking Fees to the Partner.
7.2 Payment methods - We accept payment by credit card or SEPA Direct Debit, processed securely via the payment system in our Booking App. Charges occur immediately upon confirmation of your Check‑in or Reservation. If you cancel before the Session start, no fee is charged.
7.3 Failed payments & default – If a payment fails, we will notify you and request settlement. You must pay within 14 days, after which you are automatically in default and statutory commercial interest applies. We may suspend or restrict your Account until all outstanding amounts are paid.
7.4 Debt recovery – CTC may engage collection agencies and recover reasonable collection or enforcement costs, or offset them against any deposit or pre‑payment.
7.5 Stored payment authorisation – You may authorise recurring use of your chosen payment method for future bookings (e.g. saved card or SEPA mandate).
7.6 Third‑party charges – You are responsible for any data, SMS or other fees charged by your mobile or network provider in connection with the Platform or notifications.
7.7 Refunds – In case of system error resulting in an incorrect charge, we will refund the charged amount promptly upon verification. Except for such errors, all fees are non‑refundable.

13.1 This agreement takes effect when you first access the Platform— for example, by creating an Account—and continues until terminated by either party under these Terms.
13.2 You may terminate the agreement at any time by deleting your Account in the Booking App. Deleting the Account ends your licence to use the Platform but does not affect obligations or liabilities incurred before deletion (e.g. outstanding Booking Fees).
13.3 We may:
(a) terminate the agreement and your Account for convenience by giving 30 days’ notice via the e-mail address or other contact details linked to your Account;
(b) suspend or terminate the agreement immediately, without notice, if you breach these Terms, violate applicable law, or if termination is reasonably necessary to protect us, a Partner or any third party; or

13.4 Upon termination:
(a) your licence to use the Platform ceases immediately;
