Private parking tickets / Re: Parking Eye ANPR - Accused of under paying for duration - Wall St, Hereford

I do think the main issue is "not reading" as I was focusing on the screen (even though that said at one point to increase etc) although I don't think everyone reads everything - not to mention it only gives a price value, so you in theory have to cross reference price vs time really which I think personally is nonsensical.
I only read the first line "Press green button for ticket" and immediately pressed it because thats how I think sadly.
The addtional questions was opinions on if others feel the pay on exit is supposed to mean one or the other - and you answered the 10 minute to mean both entry and exit which I thought it might be.
Something else we were talking about here - it says "10 minutes free stay" which I take to mean the grade period. Below it it has odd wording "All tariffs include the first 10 free minutes" - not the "first free 10 minutes". It seems to suggest the 10 minutes free is indeed free and up to 1hr means you're only paying for 50 mins initially. Right?
If you note the real time in the photo, vs the expiry time the ticket gives you for the 1hr tariff of £1.60- if you leave on exit the ticket is +1hr? I can't be sure how it would display if I put in a real car reg as we didn't park here to take photos.
Is it worth being clear that I am not ignoring the letter before action, and I will await court summons (without giving any details or not) - or ignore it until the time possibly arrives? I know courts like to see good faith negotiations so wouldn't want to impede this.
I'm going to try to narrow down my points...
Pay on exit + entering registration = assume it would calculate for me.
I read press green for ticket on the first line only (...)
Maybe the 1hr10 vs 1hr13 point (but already the 10 minutes is the grace so not sure)
