[edit] Summary

A example of a standard form contract, and in particular, a contract of adhesion. In the United States, many private parking lots and garages have an entrance barrier which will lift only if a prospective user takes a timekeeping ticket from a vending machine. The ticket will have a preprinted contract on it like the one depicted in this image. Of course, by the time one has accepted the ticket (with the contract on it), proceeded through the gate, parked one's vehicle, and then stopped to read the contract, one will have already accepted the contract and it will be too late to back out of it.

Upon exit, the ticket may be manually examined and processed by a human cashier, who then collects an appropriate fee. In more advanced lots which use tickets with bar codes or magnetic stripes, the user may have to visit a special vending machine to pay the fee before attempting to leave the lot; the exit is also blocked by a barrier which will lift only if an already-paid ticket is inserted into a scanner.
