Railway station parking Ts+Cs
Discussion
I've been contemplating coughing up for the extortionate parking prices that 'Indigo' charge at southeastern railway car parks but (naturally) it wanted me to agree to Ts+Cs before completing the purchase. Reading the Ts+Cs is rather scary, particularly points 9 and 10.

Scary bits:
9 AGENCY
Every person who enters into a contract with the company for the parking of a vehicle at the car park, whether by purchasing a ticket or otherwise, does so on behalf of himself and all other persons having any proprietary, possessory or other financial material interest in the vehicle and its contents.
10 MOVING AND RELOCATION OF VEHICLES
10.1 Where the Car Park has to be closed either permanently or temporarily in whole or in part or has to be evacuated in cases of emergency or otherwise, the Company, its servants or Agents may remove any Vehicles at any time to any other location as the Company, its servants or Agents shall reasonably deem appropriate.
10.2 To the extent that it may be necessary to do so in the exercise of rights conferred upon the Company, its servants or Agents at law or in these terms and conditions, the Company, its servants or Agents shall have the right to drive or otherwise take any Vehicle on the roads or tow it away.
10.3 The Company, its servants and Agents reserve the right to enter a Vehicle (and to use force if necessary) in such a manner as they deem necessary without being liable for damage caused to facilitate the exercise of the rights conferred on the Company, its servants and Agents in these terms and conditions or to abate any nuisance caused by the Vehicle.
Googling excerpts of it seems some of it is fairly standard but I fail to see how I can enter a contract on behalf of my local car dealer (if I've got a loan car) or on behalf of any finance company that may have an interest in my own vehicle. I also don't like the idea of them being able to damage the car without any recourse.
I've not clicked the purchase button after reading this, what are people's thoughts? Am I being paranoid or is it cause for concern?
Cheers
