Terms and Conditions

Permit holders must agree to the following terms and conditions:

1. Comply with the University’s rules and policies that exist from time to time, including the university lands by-laws. The University may amend these rules and policies from time to time, and you must consult the by-laws for the most up-to-date information. To the extent that there is any inconsistency with the terms of this agreement, and the rules and policies of the University, the rules and policies prevail.
2. The University of Western Australia Lands By-Laws and any associated procedures (as may be replaced and amended from time to time) makes clear that I must:

6. Cancel a parking permit which I no longer require (if, for example, I am no longer a staff member or student of the University) via the online ePermit system.
   As a Permit Holder, I acknowledge and agree that:

         d) cancel the permit,
    before the nominated expiry date with at least one months’ notice of the change or cancelation, where the University is undertaking construction or other changes are occurring that results in parking spaces no longer being made available. Before the University changes or cancels the permit, it will reasonably take into consideration any special grounds that a staff member may apply or already have had in place.
11. On receipt of a notice of change or cancelation, I may elect to cancel the permit via the ePermit system.
12. Any refund due on cancellation will be calculated on a daily pro rata basis, and/or my salary deductions will stop.

         d) the student is no longer studying at the University.
