Just so you know, here are TCP's Terms and conditions

Here is the sign they use in the car parks.  There is no getting away from the fact that you should get a fine if you park in a disabled parking space without a valid disabled badge.  They should not rescind any fines, its in the sign, you park in a disabled space without a badge, you get a fine, full stop.

Full terms on the way from TCP.  The first copy they sent me was a 1mb image, so I asked for a text or PDF version I can publish to be sent to me.  This was not made available so I have OCR'd the JPG and here they are.... (not that they say too much about Asda)

1. THE COMPANY'S LIABILITIES

Customers are asked to remember that a public car park is open to everyone.

Accordingly:

a) The company, its servants and agents will accept liability in respect of any loss, destruction, damage or theft of or from or mis-delivery of or temporary failure to deliver or damage to the vehicle only where the same is proved and to the extent that it is proved to be caused by the negligence, wilful act or default or breach of statutory duty of the Company, its servants or agents or the dishonesty of its servants or agents and:

b) The Company, its servants and agents will accept liability in respect of the death of or personal injury sustained by customers and others in the car park only where the same is proved and to the extent that it is proved to be caused by the negligence, wilful default or breach of statutory duty of the Company, its servants or agents.

a) Immediately to inform a member of our staff of the occurrence.

10. LIENS AND DISPOSAL OF ABANDONED VEHICLES
