Terms of the agreement

A. General conditions for online bookings

§ 1 Booking a parking space/concluding an agreement

2. Once you activate the “Confirm the booking that is subject to charges” button, the Renter submits a binding offer to conclude an agreement to rent a car parking space for the parking area that is specified on the booking screen.

3. The Operator confirms acceptance of this offer by sending some confirmation and this takes place immediately after the offer has been submitted (confirmation of the booking).

§ 2 Subject matter of the agreement, description of the services, parking period
