STORAGE:

1. So long as all Fees are paid up to date and subject to these Conditions, You: (a) are granted a licence during the Storage Period only to store Goods in the Unit allocated to You by Us from time to time and only in that Unit; (b) are deemed to have knowledge of the Goods in the Unit; and (c) warrant that You are the owner of the Goods in the Unit and/or entitled at law to deal with them in accordance with all aspects of this Agreement as agent for the owner.

2. We: (a) do not have and will not be deemed to have knowledge of the Goods; (b) are not a bailee, custodian or warehouseman of the Goods and You acknowledge that We do not take possession of the Goods; (c) do not grant any lease or tenancy of the Unit or any part of the Facility and nothing in this Agreement creates a landlord and tenant relationship; and (d) retain control, possession and management of the Facility and the Unit and the You have no right to exclude Us from the Facility or the Unit.

3. This Agreement will come into existence between Us and You when We notify You We have accepted Your order by signing the Cover Sheet. The Storage Period will begin on the date agreed with You during the order process and set out on the Cover Sheet.
COST:

4. You must pay the Deposit on signing this Agreement. The Deposit (or the balance of it after any appropriate deductions for unpaid Fees, repairs, cleaning or other charges to put right any breach of this Agreement by You) will be refunded by cheque or electronic transfer within 21 days of termination of this Agreement.

5. You are responsible to pay:
(a) the Storage Fee (being the amount set out in the Cover Sheet or as most recently notified to You by Us). We will take the first payment on acceptance of Your order and will take subsequent payments in advance on the invoice date for each Storage Period or other date agreed with You (Due Date).  It is Your responsibility to see that payment is made directly to Us on time and in full throughout the Storage Period. Any Storage Fees paid will not be credited to Your account unless You identify the payment clearly and as directed by Us. If you fail to correctly identify a payment, We reserve the right to take steps to enforce the Agreement (including the sale of Goods) due to Your failure to pay Storage Fees. We shall have no liability to You as a result of taking such action and You agree to fully indemnify Us for any costs, including those outlined in (c), below, We incur in taking such action. We will not accept that payment has been made until it has received by Us in cleared funds;
(b) a Late Payment Fee each time a payment is late or cancelled;
(c) any costs incurred by the Us in collecting late or unpaid Storage Fees, or in enforcing this Agreement in any way, including but not limited to postal, telephone, unit inventory, debt collection, personnel and/or default action costs and associated legal and professional fees;
(d) any government taxes or charges (including any value added tax) levied on any supplies made under this Agreement; and
(e) the Cleaning Fee or charges for repairs, to be invoiced at Our discretion as described in Clause 23.
Where You have more than one agreement with Us, all will form one account and We may in our sole discretion apply any payment made by You or on Your behalf on this Agreement against the oldest amount due from You to Us on any agreement in the account. If You make a part payment of any Storage Fees due to Us and We retain Your part payment, this will not affect Our ability to take any action against You or to exercise any rights We have under this Agreement in respect of the Storage Fees which remain outstanding from You. The time period from which We may take such action will still start from the Due Date when the original Storage Fees were due and the Due Date will not be extended as a result of Your part payment.

DEFAULT – RIGHT TO SELL OR DISPOSE OF GOODS:

6. We take the issue of prompt payment seriously and We shall have a general and particular right of lien, which is a right to seize and sell or otherwise dispose of some or all of the Goods as security for Your obligation to make payments under this Agreement.  If any sum owing to Us and other Fees related to this Agreement are not paid when due (Debt), You authorise Us without further notice to: (a) refuse You and Your Agents access to the Goods, the Unit and the Facility and to overlock the Unit until the Debt has been paid in full; (b) enter the Unit and inspect and/or remove the Goods to another unit or site and to charge You for all reasonable costs of doing so on any number of occasions; and (c) apply the Deposit against the Debt and, if insufficient to clear it in full, hold onto and/or ultimately sell or dispose of some or all of the Goods in accordance with Clauses 8 to 10. You acknowledge that (a) We shall be entitled to continue to charge Storage Fees from the date the Debt becomes due until payment is made in full or the Goods are sold or disposed of; (b) We will sell the Goods as if We were the owner and will pass all rights of ownership in the Goods to the buyer; and (c) if You do not pay Fees on the Due Date, the value of any discounts and special offers (including periods of free storage) which You have received will be payable by You in full.

7. If on expiry or termination of this Agreement for any reason, You fail to remove all Goods from the Unit, We are authorised to treat the Goods as abandoned and may sell or dispose of all Goods by any means in accordance with Clauses 8 to 10. You are liable for Storage Fees for the period from abandonment to the sale or disposal of the Goods together with any costs of disposal incurred, which shall be added to the, or treated as a, Debt.

8. Before We sell or dispose of the Goods, We will give You notice in writing directing You to pay (if You are in default) or collect the Goods (if they are treated as abandoned). This notice will be sent by registered or recorded delivery to the postal address last notified by You to Us in writing and by email and/or by direct message on social media. If no address within the UK has been provided, We will use any land or email address or social media details We hold for You and any ACP. If You fail to pay the Debt and/or collect the Goods (as appropriate) We will access the Unit and begin the process to sell or dispose of the Goods. You consent to and authorise the sale or disposal of all Goods without further notice regardless of their nature, content or value. We will sell the Goods for the best price reasonably available in the open market, taking into account the costs of sale. We may also require payment of default action costs, including any costs associated with accessing the Unit and disposal or sale of the Goods, which shall be added to the, or treated as a, Debt.

9. Sale proceeds will be applied first against the cost of removal and sale of Goods and second to pay the Debt. If sale proceeds do not discharge all of these costs and the Debt, You must pay Us the balance within 7 days of a written demand from Us. We may take action to recover the balance and any legal and administration costs incurred in doing so. If sale proceeds exceed the amount due from You, We will attempt to return the excess funds to you.  If this is not reasonably possible, we will hold the balance for You but no interest will be payable on it.

10. If, in the opinion of Us and entirely at Our discretion, the Goods are either not saleable, fail to sell when offered for sale, or are not of sufficient value to warrant the expense of attempting to sell, You authorise Us to treat the Goods as abandoned and We may dispose of all Goods by any means at Your cost. We may dispose of the Goods at Our discretion in the event that: (a) Goods are damaged due to fire, flood or other event that has rendered them, in Our reasonable opinion, severely damaged, of no commercial value, or dangerous to persons or property; or (b) Goods may contain personal data belonging to You or others. We do not need Your prior approval to take this action but will send written notice to You within 7 days of assessing damaged Goods.

11. Any items left unattended in common areas at the Facility or outside Your Unit at any time shall be treated as abandoned and may at Our discretion be moved, sold or disposed of immediately with no liability to Us.

ACCESS:

12. You have the right to access the Unit during Access Hours as posted by Us and subject to the terms of this Agreement. We will try to provide advance warning of changes to Access Hours by notice at the Facility and/or by SMS or email, but We reserve the right to change Access Hours temporarily to other reasonable times without giving prior notice.

13. If We have agreed to grant You extended access to the Unit outside normal hours, the extended access is available between the hours indicated on the Cover Sheet, subject to You paying any relevant additional charges.

14. Only You or Your Agents may access the Unit. You are responsible for and liable to Us and other users of the Facility for Your own actions and those of Your Agents.  We may (but are not obliged to) require proof of identity from You or any other person at any time and, at Our sole discretion, may refuse access to the Facility to any person who is unable to produce satisfactory proof.

15. We may refuse You access to the Unit and/or the Facility where moneys are owing by You to Us, whether or not a formal demand for payment has been made, or if We consider the safety or security of any person, Unit or Goods on or at the Facility has been threatened or may be put at risk.

16. You should not leave a key with or permit access to the Unit to any person other than Your own Agent who is responsible to You and subject to Your control.  If You do so, it is at Your own risk.

19. You must not use portable heaters in the Unit at any time.

20.1 When storing any permitted Goods that contain built-in batteries you must ensure: (a) the Goods are free from visible physical defect or fault and (b) such Goods are not stacked and are stored allowing air circulation. We recommend all batteries are stored with the lowest practical charge.

20.2. You will be liable under Clause 32 for any breach of this Clause 20.

CONDITIONS:

21. You will be solely responsible for securing the Unit and ensuring it is locked so as to be secure from unauthorised entry at all times when You are not in the Unit. We will not be responsible for securing any unlocked Unit. You are not permitted to apply a padlock or other device to the Unit in Our overlocking position and We may have any such padlock or device forcefully cut off at Your expense. Where applicable, You will secure the external gates and/or doors of the Facility.

In the event of uncleanliness or damage to the Unit or Facility, We will be entitled to retain the Deposit, charge a Cleaning Fee, and/or claim full reimbursement from You of the reasonable costs of repairs, replacement, restoration, proper compensation or disposal of refuse.

24. You must (and ensure that Your Agents) use reasonable care on site and have respect for the Facility and other unit users, inform Us of any damage or defect immediately it is discovered and comply with the reasonable directions of Our employees, agents and contractors and any other regulations or policies for the use, safety and security of the Facility as We shall issue periodically.

25. This Agreement does not confer on You any right to exclusive possession of the Unit and We reserve the right to relocate You to another Unit not smaller than the current Unit: (a) by giving 14 days’ notice during which You can elect to terminate this Agreement under Clause 40; or (b) on shorter notice if an incident occurs that requires the Unit or section where it is located to be closed or sealed off.  In these circumstances, We will pay Your reasonable costs of removal if approved in writing by Us before removal. If You do not arrange removal by the date specified in Our notice, then You authorise Us and its agents to enter the Unit and move the Goods as Your agent on Your behalf and at Your risk (except for damage caused wilfully or negligently which is subject to the limitations in Clause 30).

26. You must ensure the Unit is suitable for the storage of the Goods intended to be stored in it and You are advised to inspect the Unit before storing Goods and periodically during the Storage Period. We make no warranty or representation that any unit is suitable for any particular goods and We accept no liability in this regard. Unit sizes are approximate. If You have exact requirements, You must check with Us before signing this Agreement as, by signing, You agree to the actual size of the Unit and not any represented unit size.

27. We may refuse storage of any Goods or require You to remove Goods if in Our opinion storage of such Goods creates a risk to the safety of any person or property.

28. You must give notice to Us in writing of the change of any contact details on this Agreement for You or the ACP within 48 hours of any change. You agree We are entitled to discuss any default by You with the ACP registered on the front of this Agreement.

RISK AND RESPONSIBILITY:

29. We will not be liable for any loss or damages suffered by You as a result of You not being able to access the Facility or the Unit, regardless of the cause.

30. The Goods are stored at Your sole risk and responsibility and You shall be responsible for and bear the risk of any and all theft, damage to, and deterioration of the Goods caused by any reason. We exclude all liability in respect of: (a) loss or damage to Your business, if any, including consequential loss, lost profits or business interruption; (b) loss of or damage to Goods or any claim for return of the Storage Fees except where this results from Our negligence or breach of contract, in which case Our liability will be limited to the sum of £100 in total.  We do not exclude or limit liability for physical injury to or the death of any person which is a direct result of negligence or wilful default on the part of Us, Our agents and/or employees.

31 Subject to Clause 48 if applicable, We do not insure the Goods and it is a condition of this Agreement that the Goods remain adequately insured by You at all times for their Replacement Value (as set out on the Cover Sheet) while they are in storage. You warrant that such cover is in place, will not lapse and that the aggregate value of Goods in the Unit from time to time will not exceed the insured value. We do not give any advice concerning insurance cover given by any policy and You must make Your own judgment as to adequacy of cover even when arranged by Us. Inspection of any insurance documents provided by You to demonstrate cover does not mean We have approved the cover or confirmed it is sufficient.

32. It will be Your responsibility to compensate Us for the full amount of all claims, liabilities, demands, damages, costs and expenses (including any reasonably incurred legal and professional fees) incurred by Us or third parties (Liabilities) resulting from or incidental to: (a) Your use of the Unit (including but not limited to the ownership or storage of Goods in the Unit, the Goods themselves and/or accessing the Facility); or (b) breach of this Agreement by You or any of Your Agents; or (c) enforcement terms of this Agreement

33. You agree to comply with this Agreement and all laws and regulations relevant to the use of the Unit. This includes laws relating to any Goods which are stored and the manner in which they are stored. You will be responsible for all Liabilities resulting from such a breach.

34. If We have reason to believe that You are not complying with all relevant laws We may take any action We consider necessary, including, but not limited to, action outlined in Clauses 17 and 41, contacting, cooperating with and/or submitting Goods to relevant authorities, and/or immediately disposing of or removing Goods at Your expense. You agree that We may take such action at any time even though We could have acted earlier.

35. We shall not be considered to be in breach of this Agreement nor liable for any delay in performing or failure to perform any of Our obligations under this Agreement or any resulting loss or damage to Goods if such delay, failure, loss or damage results from events, circumstances or causes beyond Our reasonable control.  Such circumstances include (but are not limited to) any act of God, riot, strike or lock-out, trade dispute or labour disturbance, accident, breakdown of plant or machinery, fire, flood, shortage of labour, materials or transport, electrical power failures, threat of or actual terrorism or environmental or health emergency or hazard or recommended restrictions, epidemic, pandemic, or entry into any unit including the Unit or the Facility by, or arrest or seizure or confiscation of Goods by, competent authorities. If this happens, We will not be responsible for failing to allow access to the Goods, Unit and/or the Facility for so long as the circumstances continue. We will try to minimise any effects arising from such circumstances.

40. If You entered into the Agreement without physically coming into the Facility, then You have 14 days after We confirm acceptance of Your order to change Your mind (cooling off period).

We are entitled to retain from the Deposit, or make a charge for, apportioned Storage Fees if less than the required notice is given by You.  You must remove all Goods in the Unit before the close of business on the Termination Date and leave the Unit in a clean condition and in a good state of repair to the satisfaction of Us.

If you fail to declare the full replacement value on the Licence Agreement or to us elsewhere in writing, then in the event of a claim we will only be entitled to recover from our Insurers the proportion of the loss as the declared value bears to the total replacement value of the property you stored.  This will in turn reduce the amount which we are obliged to pay to you.

Basis of claims settlement

The settlement of any claim shall be by replacement, repair and/or compensation at our Insurer’s option. In the event of total loss or destruction of any item (other than household linen and clothing and documents) settlement of any claim shall be the cost of replacing the item as new provided that the item is substantially the same as but not better than the original when new.

Household linen and clothing

Where any claim includes loss of or damage to any item(s) of household linen and clothing, our Insurers will take into consideration the age, quality, degree of use and consequent market value of any such lost or damaged item(s).

Documents

Where any claim includes loss of or damage to documents the basis of settlement shall be the reasonable costs of reprinting and/or reasonable costs of reissue and/or reconstitution including, where applicable, fresh research or exploration to obtain essential information.

Pairs & sets

Where any items are part of a pair or of a set then our Insurers shall only pay for the actual items which are lost or damaged. No payment will be made by our Insurers for any items which are part of a pair or of a set and which are not lost or damaged.

Our insurer’s policy excess

Our Insurers will not pay the first GBP 100 of any claim under our policy.

Claims notification

If circumstances arise in respect of your goods which could give rise to a claim under our insurance then you must notify us, in writing, of those circumstances and whether you wish for us to make a claim on our insurance in respect of the goods in question.  All circumstances which could give rise to a claim must be notified to us at the time of discovery of the loss or damage or at the time of removal of goods from the unit, whichever is the soonest.  This will then allow us to notify our insurers.  If prompt notification cannot be made to our insurers this may affect what is payable under our insurance.  We remind you that we will not be liable to pay you anything in excess of what our insurers pay to us in respect of any claim.

In the event that a claim is made and we receive a payment from our insurers in respect of the same we shall be entitled to request that your rights be assigned to us and you shall be required to execute such an assignment as part of any settlement of the claim.
