Article 3
Use of reserved lanes by unauthorised vehicles is prohibited. In the event of unauthorised use, a penalty will be applied equal to double the parking charge due, with a minimum charge of €50.
Should a customer in possession of a properly paid ticket unwittingly cross one of these lanes, the penalty will be reduced to 5 euros if paid at the manual till within 60 minutes, otherwise 15 euros.
Article 4
Every parking space must only be used for parking a single motor vehicle. If a car straddles two parking spaces, the customer will be obliged to pay double the charge.

At the third entry onwards, a supplementary charge will be applied over and above the parking time used, as specifically indicated in the list of charges displayed at the entrance and the cash desk.
Article 7
In the event the ticket is lost, the amount of €180 will be due, without prejudice to the option, for both parties, of proving that a greater or lesser amount is due for the actual period of parking. The outcome of this assessment may therefore be an increase or reduction of the amount owed.
It remains understood the amount due in the event of the loss of a ticket may not, in any event, be less than €15.

Payment of penalties after 15 days will lead to a further charge of €15 for costs associated with the administration of this additional delay.
Article 11
In the event of the application of a contractual penalty, APCOA undertakes to send an initial notification letter within and no later than 90 days from the violation. In the event of non-payment, APCOA reserves the right to appoint a lawyer who will send, within and no later than 75 days from the aforementioned period, a letter of warning of default with an additional charge of 50 euros as a contribution to legal costs.
