2. Your licence to use the Unit

We give you permission to use the Unit to store Goods. This is a licence, not a tenancy or lease, and it does not give you any rights over the land or buildings.

We may ask you to move to a Unit of a similar size at the Facility. We will give you reasonable notice and will not charge you more for the move.

3. Booking and payment

You book and pay online. The Licence Fee starts from £100 per month, depending on the Unit, and is paid monthly in advance. VAT status: [TO BE CONFIRMED].

Your first payment is taken by card at booking. After that, payments are collected by card or Direct Debit through [INSERT DIRECT DEBIT PROVIDER]. You must keep a valid payment method in place for as long as you store with us.

4. Late or missed payments

If a payment fails we will tell you and try to collect it again. A late payment charge of [TO BE CONFIRMED] may be added.

If your account stays unpaid for [TO BE CONFIRMED] days, we may stop your access until it is paid in full. If it remains unpaid after that, and after we have sent you written notice, we may sell or dispose of the Goods to recover what you owe, following the law, including the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977. Any money left over after costs will be returned to you.

5. Access to the Facility

The Facility is behind locked automatic gates. The only ways in are a mobile phone linked to your account or your own individual PIN code. Access hours: [TO BE CONFIRMED].

Your phone access and PIN are personal to you. Do not share them with anyone you have not told us about. You are responsible for anyone you let into the Facility. Tell us straight away if your phone is lost or you think someone else knows your PIN.

We may open the Unit, removing your lock if necessary, in an emergency, if the police or another authority requires it, for essential maintenance, if we reasonably believe you are breaking these conditions, or as part of the process in section 4. We will tell you beforehand where we reasonably can, and fit a replacement lock afterwards.

11. Ending the agreement

You can end the agreement by giving us [TO BE CONFIRMED] notice. We can end it by giving you [TO BE CONFIRMED] notice, or straight away if you seriously break these conditions.

By the end date you must remove all Goods, take off your lock and leave the Unit clean and empty. Goods left behind after the end date may be treated as abandoned and dealt with under section 4, and you may be charged for clearing the Unit.

12. Deposit

Deposit: [TO BE CONFIRMED]. Where a deposit is taken, it will be returned after you leave, less anything you owe us.
