Important information governing your legal relationship with AppealNow.com™ and the letter writing service it provides to you for you to appeal against your parking ticket or parkings tickets.

This Agreement is a legal document which sets out your rights and obligations, and those of Margrove Software Limited, the administrator, a company registered in England under registration number 4049159 ("Margrove", AppealNow.com", "we" or "us"), in relation to this website ("website", "site") and the services offered through the website by AppealNow.com™ (the "AppealNow.com™ Service").  It includes the notes A, C and D below  

IMPORTANT NOTES:

A.1. Please remember that we only deal with Penalty Charge Notices issued in England and Wales by local authorities and Transport for London under the Traffic Management Act 2004, and in Scotland under The Road Taffic Act 1991 . We also deal with Penalty Charge Notices issued under the various London Local Authorities Acts and the Congestion Charge legislation.   

We are not able to deal with any appeals to the Parking Adjudicator unless you are a commercial company or business for whom we agree to act.

Therefore unless you are a commercial company or business for whom we act we cannot deal with your case if you have received a Noticeof Rejection.

B. Please note that this is an appeal writing service and the appeal is sent on your behalf to the council or Transport for London.  We do not sell template letters nor do we sell drafts of letters.  If you pay for one of our services it is only for for us to lodge an appeal with a council or Transport for London. If you pay for a service it is not a payment for advice.

C. Pease note if you submit a/an appeal(s) and we submit them on your behelf but it turns out that for any reason the time for submiitting the appeal was past when you registered the appeal we are unable to issue a refund.

By registering for or using the AppealNow.com™ Service, you agree to the terms of this Agreement, and you reconfirm your agreement every time you use it. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing Users of the AppealNow.com™ website and/or services similarly affirm that they are bound by this Agreement each time they access the AppealNow.com™ website or Service. You should be aware that this Agreement may change from time to time in accordance with Clause 22 below.

This site is for motorists who wish to appeal against incorrect Penalty Charge Notices ("PCN") in respect of alleged parking or Congestion Charging violations or incorrect Clamping & Removal Charges, incorrect Bus Lane fines and incorrect Congestion Charge Clamping & Removal.  

2. Users of the AppealNow.com™ website and/or Services including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the receiving of newsletters, emails, marketing emails and the like

Individuals or company's who register for or use the AppealNow.com™ Service ("User", "Users") must in the case of individuals be at least 18 years of age. For the avoidance of doubt any persons visiting the AppealNow.com™ website or using the AppealNow.com™ services are referred to collectively as "Users".

Individuals or company's who register to use the AppealNow.com™ Service must in the case of individuals be at least 18 years of age.

Individuals and companies ("members", "member", "users", "user",) that register to use the AppealNow.com™ service automatically become members of the AppealNow.com™ service.

Annual Registration entitles you to :

• The right to have every letter generated by the AppealNow.com™ service from as little as £23.99 for each appeal letter

• All benefits of membership for the time being in place.

Please note that we are not an Internet service provider. In order to avail yourself of the AppealNow.com™ Service, you must have Internet access and all the appropriate hardware and software, skills and equipment required for email and web usage. Please note that this service is designed for new appeals i.e. where no representation or appeal has yet been lodged against a Penalty Charge Notice ("PCN") issued by a local authority or Transport for London PCN.  Please note that the site cannot be used to appeal against so called "parking tickets" issued for parking on private land nor in relation to clamping of vehicles on private land.
3. Registration.

You undertake to register for the AppealNow.com™ Service using accurate and current information about yourself – including your correct name, address and any other details we request.

IMPORTANT

You undertake, in respect of each PCN to log your information relating to that PCN within 3 days of the date on the PCN (in the case of PCNs issued by post within 3 days of the date of service). If you do not lodge your appeal within the aforementioned 3 days you may have lost the right of appeal or the right to pay a reduced penalty if you subsequently decide to pay the PCN.

You undertake, in respect of each Notice to Owner ("NTO") to log your information relating to that NTO ideally within 3 days of the date of service of the NTO . If you do not lodge your appeal within the aforementioned 3 days you may have lost the right to appeal against the Notice to Owner. Additionaly if you agree to pay the NTO you will have lost the right to pay the reduced fine.You should make a note of the date that you received the NTO and retain the envelope it came in as councils often send the NTO out several days after the date shown on the NTO.

Please note that we cannot deal with any case where you have received a Notice of Rejection, Charge Certificate or an Order for Recovery.  We regret that we are no longer able to take appeals to the Parking Adjudicators for individuals.

You also undertake to supply to AppealNow.com™ completely accurate information about yourself, any parking or other incident in respect of which a PCN has been issued.

AppealNow.com™ does not supply you with copies of the appeal or appeals sent on your behalf.

10.2 Refunds :

10.2 (a) The User by registering, entering or using the website, agrees that the supply of services by us has begun before the end of the cancellation period applicable under regulation 12 of The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 and accordingly fees paid by a User will not be returned or refunded in whole or in part by AppealNow.com, unless, in the exceptional circumstances that the AppealNow.com™ Service for which the User has paid for has not been actioned by us within 24 days of the information being submitted to the website.

Because of the enormous amount of time that we have to spend on these matters our charge our administrative fee to cover our time and the costs of our credit card merchant will be £6.50 from 18th December 2013.

This section also applies if the User lodges an appeal before we do so and thus prevents us from sending an appeal letter.
