10.2 Where you are using a payment method other than a ticket issued at the Car Park or a season ticket, you also agree to the terms of that particular payment method, full details of which are available on our website at lcrpark.co.uk

10.3 You must, depending on the payment methods available and in operation at the specific Car Park (whether it is a multi-storey, surface or underground site), pay the parking tariff using one of the following methods (unless you have pre-booked in accordance with clause 10.4, or you are Season Ticket Holder in which case clause 10.5 will apply):
a) “Pay & Display” – you must purchase a parking ticket for the amount of time for which you would like to park from the ticket machines at the Car Park a credit/debit card, and:
i) If the Car Park issues physical parking tickets, before leaving your vehicle, you must ensure that the parking ticket is clearly displayed in the windscreen of the vehicle; or,
ii) If the Car Park captures your VRM via ANPR cameras, you will not be required to display a physical parking ticket, instead before leaving your vehicle, you must ensure you enter the correct VRM of your vehicle into the ticket machine to avoid a Parking Charge being issued.
b) “Pay using your Phone” – you must register an account and use the “Pay using your phone” service provided by the relevant service provider in accordance with its terms and conditions. You must purchase the amount of time for which you would like to park prior to leaving; or
c) “Pay On Foot” – you must take a ticket on entry to the Car Park. When you leave, you must insert the ticket into the pay on foot machine/exit column and make payment for the time spent as indicated using a debit/credit card or Gateway card. The ticket should then be presented on exiting the Car Park to evidence proof of payment. In the event that a ticket machine is out of coins/change, a credit voucher may be dispensed and either used against future parking fees or a refund obtained by contacting the Customer Services Department; or

10.4 You can Pre-Book your car parking session for a specific amount of time (the “Booking Period”) at a nominated Car Park either online at lcrpark.co.uk or by telephone through our Customer Contact Centre on 0151 279 1021 or though our our website at lcrpark.co.uk. Upon making the booking, you will receive a unique booking reference number and a booking confirmation (with a bar code). When using the nominated Car Park, you must follow the instructions on the booking confirmation issued to you and/or the instructions displayed and in force at the nominated Car Park or on our website. You should be aware that you will be required to pay any additional charge due as a result of your vehicle’s actual time in the Car Park exceeding the Booking Period (and any credit surcharge) by credit/debit card, prior to exiting the Car Park.

10.5 If you are a Season Ticket Holder the following applies, depending on the type of Car Park and the operating equipment at the specific Car Park:
a) if the Car Park has barriers (at entry and exit), you must present your season ticket or QR code to the Cark Park equipment/attendant both at entry and exit; or
b) if the Cark Park does not have barriers (at entry and exit), you must clearly display your permit valid for the Car Park in the windscreen of your vehicle; or
c) in some Car Parks, the ANPR technology will automatically recognise your VRM and register the fact that you are a Season Ticket Holder when you enter and leave the Car Park and in such circumstances (depending on the instructions at the specific Car Park) you may not need to present and/or display your season ticket.

10.6 We reserve the right to change payment methods from time to time in our Car Parks and you should check all signs and notices in the Car Park for further information about the payment methods available in a specific Car Park.

10.7 If a bar code or QR code issued to you is adapted or damaged in any way, it may become invalid.

10.8 If you delay exiting a ticketed Car Park once you have paid the fee due for the time parked, you may incur additional charges.

10.9 For the avoidance of doubt, sales or credit card receipts are not parking tickets and will not be accepted as evidence of payment, unless accompanied by a valid parking ticket. Failure to comply with the payment requirements set out in this clause 10, as applicable, will result in a Parking Charge Notice being issued in accordance with clause 5 (Parking Contraventions) of these Terms.

10.10 Subject to our procedures in place from time to time in relation to a failure to pay for parking, we reserve the right to refuse to lift the fixed barrier at the Car Park to allow the release of any vehicle for which payment has not been received in accordance with the appropriate payment method, including (but not limited to) where your credit/debit card has been declined, you have failed to pay by the required time limit, and/or you have failed to produce a valid and current parking ticket, or season ticket and/or your QR code or bar code is invalid, as applicable.

10.11 If you cannot produce your parking ticket, QR code, bar code or season ticket (as required and dependent upon the relevant payment method available at the Car Park) on leaving the Car Park you will be charged the full 24 hourly rate for each 24 hour period or part period during which we determine that your vehicle has been in the Car Park. We may also charge an administration fee in respect of our time and costs incurred in dealing with any such non-payment.

10.12 No refund will be made for any parking tariff payments paid in respect of a lost ticket, QR code, bar code or season ticket which are subsequently produced and in no circumstances can any refund be given for parking tariff payments without proof of payment.

11 Access and re-location of vehicles

11.1 We reserve the right to refuse the admission of any vehicle to the Car Park for any reason whatsoever.

11.2 We reserve the right to move vehicles within the Car Park using whatever method we consider appropriate (even if, as a consequence, damage is caused to your vehicle) to the extent that is reasonably necessary for the purposes of safety to persons or property, or to avoid obstruction at the Car Park.

11.3 We additionally reserve the right to use a lawful authority to remove any vehicle to another reasonably convenient car park, whether or not operated by us, where the Car Park has to be unexpectedly closed permanently or temporarily, either in whole or in part, due to a matter outside of our control, or if the Car Park has to be evacuated in an emergency.

11.4 To the extent that it is necessary to do so in the exercise of the rights conferred upon us in this clause 11, we reserve the right to drive or otherwise take your vehicle onto a public highway. In doing so we will take reasonable care of the vehicle.

Before proceeding with the disposal or sale of abandoned vehicles we will:
a) refer the matter to the appropriate authorities, which may include the local police and the DVLA; and
b) affix a notice to the vehicle at least 7 days before the date on which we propose to remove the vehicle stating that the vehicle will be removed and sold when that period expires.

12.3 Abandoned vehicles will be disposed of as waste or sold by auction. Where sold by us, the proceeds of sale will be applied in and towards satisfaction of all sums owing to us together with the expenses of sale and our reasonable storage and removal costs for the period during which the vehicle is in our possession.
