We will seek to deduct the Automated Billing Parking Tariffs owed to the Car Park Operator and the SMS Notification Fees and Processing Fees owed to Us from your Balance, or via Your newly selected Payment Preference in accordance with the Recurring Payment Authority, unless such newly selected Payment Preference is an Auto Top-Up and the process would not result in a Balance sufficient to cover the Transaction Charges.

  1. If, following the process in clause 29, Your Balance is insufficient to cover the Automated Billing Parking Tariff, We will notify the Car Park Operator that the payment request has not been authorised and that Your debt to the Car Park Operator has not been settled.
  2. If, following the process in clause 29, we receive cleared payment of the value of the Automated Billing Parking Tariff to Us, Your debt to the Car Park Operator will be satisfied.
