9 YOUR SEASON TICKET
Once we are in receipt of your first payment for your Season Ticket we will send your Season Ticket to the address you have provided to us using the method selected by you when placing your Order. Please note that there may be additional charges if you select a method of delivery other than first or
second class post. We will require a payment in respect of such charges at the same time as your first payment to us. If you do not receive your Season Ticket within a reasonable period, please let us know so that we can investigate the whereabouts and issue a replacement Season Ticket if necessary.
We will also send to you: (i) Our receipted VAT invoice relating to the charge for the Period for which payment has been made;
(ii) If you have set up a direct debit with us, a schedule setting out the dates upon which we will be processing your direct debit payments; and
(iii) A copy of our car park terms and conditions governing the use of our car parks by all of our customers. Your Season Ticket will permit you to park one vehicle only in the Nominated Car Park at any one time. Once your Season Ticket has been used to remove a vehicle from a car park, it cannot be used again to remove a different vehicle, which overlaps any part of the period of parking of the first vehicle. If you do attempt to use your Season Ticket in this manner, or if you are unable to produce your Season Ticket for any reason when exiting a car park, you will be charged at the prevailing daily tariff rate at the relevant car park for the full period of parking of the relevant vehicle. Depending upon the type of car park at which you are parking your vehicle, you may need to take another ticket from the machine at the entry/exit point to the car park, to allow you access. You will
need to produce this ticket together with your Season Ticket to a car park attendant on exit to avoid having to make any additional payments.

• you have misused or failed to take proper care of your SeasonTicket;
• you receive your Season Ticket before your Commencement Date (in which event it will not be activated until your Commencement Date); or
