We manage private parking areas. Private property rights and the Contracts Act apply here, unlike public parking areas, which are regulated by the Traffic Act.
An owner of a parking area can, under general property law, set rules for use of the parking area. The owner may also choose to let a private parking company such as OPARKO manage the area and supervise compliance with the rules.
Signs are erected so that the conditions are visible to everyone who drives into the area. It is your responsibility as a driver to read and familiarise yourself with the conditions before parking. If you do not comply with the applicable conditions, you may be charged a parking fee, regardless of whether you have seen the signs.
The legal basis is Contracts Act (Aftaleloven) § 1.
