Use of This Site
You can use this site until we ask you to stop. We can delete your account, remove the content you create, or block you from accessing this website, for any reason or for no reason at all. However, there are some things that are especially likely to make this happen, such as:
- posting inappropriate or off-topic content,
- spamming or advertising in any way through this website,
- making abusive comments, or otherwise
- behaving like an idiot.
Of course, just because we can do these things, it doesn't mean that we are promising to do any of them. We take no responsibility for the content that others post here.
You promise not to post false, misleading or inaccurate information, and to delete any information that you later learn is false, misleading or inaccurate.
Relationship between Us; No Warranties

We don't promise to keep this website running for any length of time or to make it work properly at any given time. We don't promise to let you keep using it, even if you contribute money to one of our organizations.
While we certainly hope to use the content you provide to promote our goal of reducing parking permit abuse, we're not even promising to do that.
We do not make any claims about the accuracy of information posted on this website, and we are offering NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABLITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE for any materials or services we provide through this website.

If, somehow, we are still found to have liability to you, you agree that we will not be liable for any special or consequential damages because of your using this website or because you can't use this website .
License to Use Content
The purpose of this site is for you to provide content to us, which we plan to use in various ways to get government employees to stop parking illegally and stop misusing their parking permits.
You retain full ownership of the copyright in the content you provide to us through this website. HOWEVER, by posting content to this website you grant us, at no charge, the non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual right to reproduce, perform, display, distribute and create derivative works from your content, for any purpose, in any media that now exists or exists in the future. You also grant us the right to designate others who will have these same rights.
In other words, you agree to let us do whatever we feel like doing with the content you provide, forever, and we can let other people do whatever they feel like doing with it. You, too, can continue to do whatever you want with your content.
Links
We may provide links to other sites, but it should come as no surprise to you by now that these are different websites run by different people and organizations . Our linking to another site is nothing but a reference to that site and, by itself, doesn't mean much. In particular it doesn't mean that we endorse or control that site.
Copyrighted Material
By using this website you agree not to post content that includes copyrighted material without the permission of its owner. Since our main goal with this website is to collect reports from you of what you see and take pictures of, anything that would violate this rule is probably also inappropriate and off-topic.
