Sentinel Agreement

Sentinel Terms & Conditions

These terms apply to individuals (“Sentinels”) who register with ParkSentinel Property Watch to provide on-site presence for clients. By accepting a booking, you agree to these terms.

1) Role & scope

Observe & report only. You are not a security guard. No intervention, pursuit, or confrontation.
Presence. You remain on or adjacent to the client’s site for the booked shift and report issues as instructed, for example calling the client contact and/or Police.
Independent contractor. You are self-employed, not an employee of ParkSentinel or the client.

2) Conduct on site

Follow all site rules and reasonable instructions from the client or ParkSentinel.
No alcohol, drugs, parties, or visitors. Keep noise low and leave no trace.
Use only agreed parking area(s). Respect neighbours and access routes at all times.

3) Shift options & pay rates

Paid per completed shift, typically up to 12 hours. Short-notice shifts mean 24 hours’ notice or less. Rates may be adjusted for special cases, extended hours, or multi-night bookings.

Standard (up to 12 hours):
• Observe Only — £40/night
• Observe & Presence Checks — £50/night
• Observe & Presence Checks with Dog — £60/night

Short-notice (≤ 24h):
• Observe Only — £80/night
• Observe & Presence Checks — £90/night
• Observe & Presence Checks with Dog — £100/night

Payment timing. Paid after ParkSentinel receives client confirmation of a completed shift.
Proof. You may be asked for a short check-in/check-out message and 2–3 photo time-stamps.

4) Short-notice & cancellations

Short-notice. If you’ve opted in to 24-hour availability, short-notice rates apply when booked 24 hours or less before start.
Client cancellation. Where the client cancels late, ParkSentinel may pay a proportion of the fee at its discretion.
Your cancellation. Give as much notice as possible. Repeated late cancellations may block future bookings.

5) Insurance & parking position

Your vehicle. You must be road legal, including MOT, tax and insurance, and park safely.
Public liability insurance. If neither you nor the client has suitable cover for overnight presence, you may be asked to park on-street outside the perimeter, while still remaining visible, instead of inside the site.
Dogs. Dog-assisted shifts only where permitted by client/site rules. You’re responsible for your dog at all times.

6) Safety & reporting

Never intervene. If something looks wrong, observe and report as set out in the booking notes.
Emergencies. If there’s an immediate threat to life or a serious crime, call Police on 999, then the client contact.
Welfare. Keep your phone charged and available. Take reasonable steps to remain safe and visible.

7) Deterrent equipment

Lighting. Sentinels may use motion-activated security lighting to increase visibility around the vehicle or site entrance during the shift.
Camera. A motion-activated camera may be positioned on or near the Sentinel vehicle to record activity around the vehicle or the main site entrance during the shift.
Placement. Where practical, external camera placement may be preferred for clearer recording quality.
Purpose. These devices are used for deterrence, awareness, and documenting unusual activity or incidents.
Responsible use. Cameras must not be used to deliberately record private residential areas and must be used with reasonable regard for privacy.

8) Branding

Where supplied, display ParkSentinel magnetic signage while on shift. Remove and store safely afterwards.

9) Data & confidentiality

Keep client and site information confidential.
We process your data in line with our Privacy Policy.

10) Breach & termination

We may end your access to bookings for serious breach, poor conduct, dishonesty, or unsafe behaviour.

11) Governing law

England & Wales law applies. Venue: courts of England & Wales.
