What Is on Offer, and the Nine Claims
One thing is for sale here, and it is a document. Below it, the nine claims this trade runs on, with the honest mark against each and the name of whoever would have to stand behind it.
The service, in full
A written quote, and a reservation placed on the strength of it. That is the whole offer, and it breaks into four parts:
- The questions. Up to eight, from the worksheet, put to the lots that serve this side of the city.
- The quote. Nine fixed items, including the daily rate range, every addition with whose charge it is, the rate for a day beyond your dates, and the list of questions nobody answered. The full shape is here.
- The reservation. A dated record that a lot has been asked to expect the car, carrying the answers it gave.
- Changes. Flexible changes to dates by writing, at no charge from this counter. What the lot does about its own terms is on cancellation.
There is no charge for any of it, no account, no membership and no card field anywhere on this site.
What is not on offer
No ground, because none is owned. No van, no attendant, no clearing of snow, no work of any kind on a standing car, and no insurance of anybody's vehicle. This counter is a place that asks questions and writes down answers.
The nine claims
Read this before anything else on the site. Eight of the nine are marked not stated, and each one names who would have to confirm it for the mark to change. That is the same three group logic as the worksheet: a claim is just another line that either has an answer behind it or does not.
- free quotestated
A quote costs nothing and comes back in writing.
Who would have to confirm it: This counter. It writes the quote, so it can promise the quote.
- 24 7not stated
The counter keeps posted hours and says so on every page.
Who would have to confirm it: A person on a line at three in the morning. There is not one.
- same daynot stated
Nothing here promises a place today.
Who would have to confirm it: An operator willing to hold ground on an hour's notice, in writing, in advance.
- no hidden feesnot stated
Every addition this counter knows of is listed on the rates page, with whose charge it is.
Who would have to confirm it: Control over the operator's own charges, which this counter does not have.
- no prepaymentnot stated
No field on this site accepts a card number, which you can check by looking.
Who would have to confirm it: The operator's terms, which are the operator's to set.
- licensed insurednot stated
No license number appears anywhere on this site, in any form.
Who would have to confirm it: A license this company holds. It holds none, and inventing one is the fastest way to be caught.
- flexible cancellationnot stated
The cancellation page says exactly what happens and when, without the adjective.
Who would have to confirm it: An operator that has agreed in writing to the same terms for every hold.
- written confirmationnot stated
This counter's own quote is written. The operator's confirmation is the operator's.
Who would have to confirm it: A standing agreement with each lot to confirm in writing on request.
- nationwidenot stated
One city, and the rates page covers one city.
Who would have to confirm it: Lots under contract in other cities. There are none.
Why eight are not stated
Because this counter holds no agreement with any operator. Every one of those eight is a statement about somebody else's ground, staff, terms or insurance, and a desk with no contract cannot make them.
The one that is stated, free quote, is stated because the quote is written here. This counter controls the paperwork completely, so it can promise the paperwork completely.
There are no hidden fees in what this counter charges, for the simple reason that it charges nothing at all. The flag no_hidden_fees is still marked not stated, and the distinction is deliberate: the sentence is about this counter's own charges, the flag is about the whole price of parking, and the second is not this counter's to promise. Every addition it knows of is on the rates page with whose charge it is.
The required phrase
The trade expects the words secure lot, and this counter does not claim them. They appear once on this site, as a quotation from an operator about its own boundary, attributed and marked unverified, on the perimeter line. No word from that family appears anywhere as a description of any ground.
