Terms and Conditions

1.      TERM: 

This agreement is effective from a mutually agreed-upon date and will remain in force for an initial term. Thereafter, it will automatically renew on a monthly basis (referred to as the "Term") unless terminated earlier as outlined below or unless a longer term has been agreed upon by both parties. 

 

2.      RENTAL PAYMENTS:

The first storage invoice is to be paid up front via card payment or bank transfer

The occupant is required to submit payment via direct debit on a monthly basis

(unless a longer period has been agreed by both parties) in advance, beginning from the date of the rental agreement execution, for the Unit at the agreed-upon rate. The initial payment must be made on the day of the rental agreement execution or in advance on an earlier date agreed upon for pre-bookings. A one-time Lock & Key Deposit of €30 per key and lock, provided to the Occupant, is due at the same time as the first rental payment or upon the execution of the Rental Agreement. The Owner reserves the right, at their sole discretion, to accept or reject partial rent payments. The acceptance of partial rent payments by the Owner does not waive any rights. The Occupant understands and acknowledges that accepting a partial rent payment to address a default in rent payment does not impede or halt the foreclosure process on the Occupant's stored property. 

 

3.      LATE CHARGE:

 If the Occupant declines a bank payment request, they shall incur a €10 administration fee. This "Declined Payment" fee may be charged only once in any month where there is a declined payment. If the Occupant does not pay rent within ten (10) days of the rent due date, they will pay the Owner a late fee of €25. A late fee may be charged for each month that the Occupant does not pay rent when due. This fee is in addition to the administration fee. If payment is overdue, the Owner will make at least three attempts within the 28-day period from the due date to contact the Occupant. After 28 days, if the Occupant fails to engage with the Owner, the Owner shall double-lock the Occupant’s Unit and otherwise deny access to the property stored until the rental and fee charges are brought current. Payments received will be applied to older charges first. Any account thirty (30) or more days delinquent will be terminated, and the Owner will take possession of the goods stored in the unit rented by the Occupant and dispose of them. The Owner reserves the right to impose additional fees for any unanticipated charges incurred due to the foreclosure of the Occupant’s stored property and disposal of goods. 

 

4.      TERMINATION. 

Either party shall have the right to terminate the agreement by ten (10) days prior written notice given to the other party before the end of the term stated in paragraph #1, and the agreement shall thereupon terminate at the end of said Term. 

 

 

5.      HOLDING OVER. 

There will be no partial month rentals. The Occupant has 24 hours to vacate the unit from the date of termination. If Occupant vacates the Unit five (5) days after the end of the term stated in Paragraph 1 above, the Occupant shall pay one full 28-days term rent. If Occupant vacates the Unit after the end of the above stated term, but before five (5) days after the end of the above stated term, the Owner will pro rate the rent fee on a daily basis. The provisions of this Paragraph 5 shall not operate as a waiver by Owner of any rights provided to Owner under Paragraph 11 of the agreement.

 

6.      OCCUPANT RESPONSIBILITY. 

The Occupant acknowledges and understands that no bailment is created by the agreement. The Owner is not engaged in the business of storing goods for hire, nor is it in the warehousing business, but is simply providing a storage Unit which the Occupant can store items of personal property owned by the Occupant. The storage Unit is under the exclusive control of the Occupant. The Owner does not take care, custody and control, possession or dominion of the contents of the storage Unit and does not agree to provide protection for the self-service storage Unit or the contents thereof. 

 

7.      INSURANCE. 

The Owner provides optional insurance options for the Occupant’s property stored in the storage unit. Insurance is available @ 0.5% of the declared value of your goods. The Occupant is responsible for the payment to the Owner to cover the cost of insurance and is responsible for selecting an appropriate level of insurance for all property in the storage unit. The Occupant waives any and all insurance subrogation rights against the Owner, its agents, and employees. 

               Occupant elects as follows: The Owner will not be responsible or otherwise liable, directly or           indirectly, for the loss or damage to the property of the Occupant due to any cause,   including fire, explosion, theft, vandalism, wind or water damage, mould, mildew, or any        defect, whether known or subsequently created or discovered, in the storage unit, or acts or            omissions of any third party. This is the case regardless of whether such loss or damage may be caused or contributed to by the negligence of the Owner, its agents, or employees.

 

8.      LIMITATION OF VALUE

Occupant agrees not to store property with a total value in excess of €10,000 without the written permission of the Owner. If such written permission is not obtained, the value of the Occupant’s property shall be deemed not to exceed €5,000. Nothing herein shall constitute any agreement or admission by Owner that Occupant’s stored property has any value, nor shall anything alter the release of owner’s liability set forth below. This €10,000 limit is deemed to be the maximum value of the property stored in the unit and the maximum liability of the insurance broker for any claim. 

 

9.      USE AND COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. 

The Unit named herein shall be used by the Occupant solely for the purpose of storing personal property belonging to the Occupant. The Occupant agrees that the Unit and the property will not be used for any unlawful purposes or contrary to any law, ordinance, regulation, fire code, or health code. The Occupant agrees not to commit waste, create a nuisance, alter, or affix signs on the Unit or anywhere on the Property, and will keep the Unit and the Property in good condition during the term of the agreement. 

 

               The Occupant agrees not to store any animals (dead or alive), explosives, or any flammable,         odorous, perishable, noxious, or illegal property. Furthermore, the Occupant acknowledges    that the Unit is not suitable for the storage of jewels, furs, heirlooms, artworks, collectibles,     or other irreplaceable items with special sentimental or emotional value and agrees not to store such items. The Occupant hereby waives any claim for sentimental or emotional value for the property stored in the Unit or on the Property. 

 

 

10.   CONDITION OF THE STORAGE FACILITY: 

The Occupant undertakes to maintain the storage unit in a condition consistent with its state at the beginning of the lease term or any subsequent improvements made thereafter. If the unit is not found by the Occupant to be in a broom-clean state at the beginning of the lease term, the Occupant should photograph the unit and submit this to the Owner. The Owner will arrange to have the unit cleaned or offer to move the Occupant to a different unit. 

               Upon termination of the agreement, the Occupant agrees to surrender the unit peacefully to      the owner in a clean and orderly condition, consistent with the specifications outlined in this paragraph. The Occupant is responsible for the prompt removal of any dirt, debris, unwanted items, or refuse from the storage facility. 

               The Occupant acknowledges responsibility for all costs associated with the removal of goods              or general waste left in the unit or storage facility after the termination of the agreement. If             the unit is not left in a broom-clean state after the Occupant vacates, a minimum cleaning      fee of €50 will be charged to the Occupant. While some sites provide a broom and pan at        the key pick-up point, Occupants are advised to bring their own when vacating the unit. 

 

11.   ALTERATIONS, SIGNS AND WASTE. 

The Occupant shall not make nor suffer any alterations of the Unit nor post signs without the express written consent of the Owner. The Occupant shall not commit nor permit any waste in the Unit or on the Owner’s property (see waste disposal fees in Clause 10). 

 

12.   OWNER’S RIGHT TO ENTER, INSPECT, AND REPAIR UNIT: 

The Owner shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice to the Occupant, except in cases of emergency, in which event no such notice shall be required, to enter the Unit (and, if necessary, break the lock thereon) for the purpose of examining it for violations of the agreement and for making repairs or alterations to the Unit. The Occupant is not permitted to install additional locks on the unit. In the event that an additional lock has been installed, the Owner has the right to remove such locks without notice to the Occupant. 

 

13.   DEFAULT, OWNER REMEDIES AND LIEN. 

In addition to all other rights allowed by law to a creditor against his debtor, the owner shall have a lien, in the event of a default by the occupant hereunder, on all personal property stored within the unit. This lien is for the amount of any rent, sales tax, labour, insurance, or other charges incurred in relation to such property and for expenses 

 

necessary for the preservation of the property or reasonably incurred in its sale or other                disposition in accordance with applicable law. 

               Time is of the essence in the performance of the agreement and in the payment of each and             every instalment of any rent or additional charge to be in accordance with the agreement. If             any such rent or charges shall be due and unpaid, or if the occupant shall fail or refuse to       perform any of the covenants, conditions, or terms of the agreement, and if such default   continues for more than five (5) days, the owner, at its option, may: 

                              (a) terminate the occupant’s right to use the unit and to store property therein; 

                              (b) double-lock the unit or otherwise deny occupant access thereto; 

                              (c) enter the unit for the purpose of taking inventory of the property stored therein                 and for the purpose of removing any personal property found therein and move it to                          a place for safekeeping at the expense and risk of the occupant; 

                              (d) enforce its lien by selling the stored property at a public or private sale in                                              accordance with the provisions of applicable law and apply the net proceeds from                  such sale to the payment of all sums due to the owner from the occupant                                           hereunder. The owner will pay over the balance, if any, on demand to the occupant. 

                              The date of such sale shall constitute the date of the termination of the agreement.         In the event the agreement is terminated for breach of any obligation of the occupant, the    occupant shall remain personally liable for the payment to the owner of all accrued and       unpaid rent and all other charges due to the owner hereunder at the time of termination of   the agreement. 

 

14.   OCCUPANT’S RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DEFAULT. 

Any time prior to the sale of Occupant’s property, any person claiming a right in the property may pay the amount necessary to satisfy the Owner’s lien and to reimburse Owner for all amounts then owed to it under the agreement, in which event the property shall be released to the payer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner shall not be obligated to accept payment and release the property to the payer unless such payment is made in cash or by bank certified check or checks. Upon release of Such property to the payer, Owner shall have no further liability to any person in respect to such property. 

 

15.   ABANDONMENT OF OCCUPANT’S PROPERTY. 

An abandoned Unit is: 

               1) a leased Unit that the Owner finds unlocked and empty or unlocked and containing                         personal property with a value less than €300, in the Owner’s opinion or 

               2) a leased Unit, which possession, all rights to and any personal property within, has been      affirmatively surrendered to the Owner by the Occupant, and either may be retained by the   Owner as its own property, sold in accordance with the provisions within the agreement, or   disposed of or destroyed. If such property or any part shall be sold, the Owner may receive         and retain the proceeds of such sale and apply the same at its option against the expenses of   reentry and sale, the cost of moving and storage, any arrears of rent or any additional               charges and any damages which the Owner may be entitled to under the agreement, or in     accordance with law. The Owner shall have the right to take possession of the abandoned      leased Unit after 14 days as long as the Owner has notified the Occupant pursuant to law. 

 

 

16.   BANKRUPTCY AND OTHER LEGAL ACTIONS. 

In the event that the Occupant files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or suffers a petition in involuntary bankruptcy to be filed against him/her or 

 

 

               makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or is placed in receivership, or is the         subject of any type of legal action wherein the use and occupancy of the Unit by Occupant is        in issue, then the Owner, other than as provided by law, may at its option, terminate the    agreement, and the Occupant shall thereafter have no right, title or interest in or to the Unit,              or the Owner may at its option declare the agreement to be in default, and pursue all rights       and remedies granted in accordance with the agreement.

18.   WAIVER.

This      includes situations arising from mechanical or electrical failures of the automatic          access gates or Unit door mechanism, or any other reason. 

               Access will only be granted to parties authorised by the Occupant. Any other party     attempting to gain access will be denied unless they possess the gate code and key to    the Unit lock or have provided written authorisation from the Occupant to the Owner or            Manager.
