Period will begin on the date agreed with You during the order process and set
out on the Self Storage Agreement.
2. OUR SERVICES TO YOU:
2.1. So long as all fees are paid up to date and subject to these Conditions: (a)
We will make available to You a lockable, segregated area of Our Facility (“Unit”)
for You to store Goods; (b) You are granted a licence during the Storage Period
to store Goods in the Unit allocated to You by Us from time to time and only in that
Unit; (c) We will maintain the Facility in a secure and safe condition; and (d) We
will make every reasonable effort to protect Your Property from Loss or Damage
while the Goods remain in the Unit or Our care, custody and control, subject to
Condition 7 and all terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2.2. We 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. We
retain control, possession and management of the Facility and the Unit and the

2.3 If You wish to take up any additional services We offer, such as delivery and
collection, We will provide details separately. You will need to sign up to Our terms
and conditions for such services which may be subject to additional charges.
3. COST:
3.1. You must pay the Deposit on signing this Agreement. The Deposit (or the
balance of it after any appropriate deductions for unpaid Storage Costs, 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.
3.2. You are responsible to pay: (a) the Storage Costs (being the amounts set out
in the Self Storage Agreement or as most recently notified to You by Us) including
the StoreProtect Charges if You have opted for StoreProtect. 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. We do not normally bill for
fees but will issue an electronic invoice following payment. Storage Costs will not
be credited to Your account unless You identify the payment clearly and as
directed by Us. If You fail to identify a payment, We reserve the right to take steps
to enforce the Agreement (including the sale of Goods as set out under
Conditions 4.1 to 4.5) due to Your failure to pay the Storage Costs. 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 We have
received cleared funds; (b) a Late Payment Fee each time a payment is late or
cancelled; (c) any costs incurred by Us in collecting late or unpaid Storage Costs,

(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 per Condition 6.7.
3.3. Where You have more than one agreement with Us, all will form one account
and We may at 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 Costs 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 Costs 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 Costs were due and the Due Date will not be extended as a result
of Your part payment.
4. DEFAULT – RIGHT TO SELL OR DISPOSE OF GOODS:
4.1. 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 Your 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
Conditions 4.3 to 4.5. You acknowledge that (a) We shall be entitled to continue
to apply Storage Charges 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.
4.2. 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
Conditions 4.3 to 4.5. You are liable for Storage Costs 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.
4.3. 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 United Kingdom has been
provided, We will use any land or email address or social media details We hold
for You and any Alternative Contact Person (“ACP” as stated on the Self Storage
Agreement). 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.
4.4. 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.
4.5. If, in Our opinion 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.
4.6. Any Property 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.
5. ACCESS:
5.1. 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
reserve the right to change Access Hours temporarily to other reasonable times
without giving prior notice.
5.2. 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 Self
Storage Agreement, subject to You paying any relevant additional charges.
5.3. 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 provide satisfactory proof.
5.4. 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.
5.5. You should not leave a key with or permit access to the Unit to any person
other than Your Agent who is responsible to You and subject to Your control. If
You do so, it is at Your own risk.
5.6. You authorise Us and Our agents and contractors to enter the Unit in the
following circumstances and to break any lock if reasonably necessary to gain
entry: (a) on not less than 7 days’ notice to inspect or carry out repairs or

own property and to carry out Our duty to safeguard Goods belonging to You or
other customers; (c) if We believe the Unit is being used to store prohibited Goods

suitable for any particular Goods and We accept no liability in this regard.

during the Storage Period and at least every three months for Goods stored in

Damage caused by atmospheric or climatic causes, such as mould, mildew or
rust, for which We are not responsible - see Condition 7.6.5).

check with Us before signing this Agreement as, by signing, You agree to the

Our opinion storage of such Goods creates a risk to the safety of any person or
property.

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. Inspection of any insurance documents
provided by You to demonstrate cover does not mean We have approved the
cover or confirmed it is sufficient.

unless directly caused by Our negligence.
