Legal

If a driver parks at a car park that GXS manage they enter into a contract with GXS. The terms and conditions of this contract are displayed on clearly on legally audited signage, this ensures that the parking charge notice is fully enforceable in court.

Issue of Charge

All GXS charges are issued on the basis of breach of contract.
