Such penalty is undisputable and due immediately. Penalties (excluding VAT) for parking occupation after charging station are:

It is Customer’s responsibility to terminate charging session completely before leaving charging station.

In the event that debiting is not possible, Parkomat International has the right to seek payment from the Customer by other means, such as by sending a separate invoice for the Customer’s use of the Service. As it is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that their payment information on their Parkomat International account is up-to-date and valid at the time of attempting to purchase a charging process through the Service, failure to do so can result in Parkomat International closing the Customer’s account.

Parkomat International will, however, act with due care in compiling and showing the relevant information to the users of the Service through the Parkomat International App.

(3) The payment function of the Parkomat International App operates only within the Parkomat International network. Charging stations outside of the network require a separate contract between the user and the corresponding operator or service provider of the charging station.
