  2. Where the car park or parking area originally intended for use is unavailable, the Owner may provide parking in another car park, parking area or location.
      
  3. No refund shall be due solely because the Owner has changed the car park, parking area, parking space, entrance, exit or access route where, in the reasonable opinion of the Owner, the alternative arrangements do not materially affect the parking facility provided.
