Storage Agreement
This Storage Agreement is subject to Self Storage Hartlepool’s full Terms and Conditions, which form part of the agreement between the Storer and Self Storage Hartlepool. In the event of any inconsistency, the full Terms and Conditions will apply.
STORAGE
As long as all fees are paid up to date, the Storer:
a) is licensed to store Goods in the Unit allocated by Self Storage Hartlepool and only in that Unit;
b) is deemed to have knowledge of the Goods in the Unit;
c) warrants that they are the owner of the Goods or legally entitled to store them.
Self Storage Hartlepool:
a) does not have and will not be deemed to have knowledge of the Goods;

c) does not grant any lease or tenancy of the Unit.
COST
Self Storage Hartlepool may send an invoice, payment request or reminder before or after a Due Date. However, the Customer’s obligation to make payment by the Due Date does not depend upon receiving an invoice, reminder or payment request. It remains the Customer’s responsibility to ensure payment is received by the Due Date.
The Storer must pay the first week / month storage fee upon the day of move in.
The Storer is responsible for paying:
a) The storage fee in advance on the first day of each storage period. It is the Storer’s responsibility to ensure payments are made on time. 
b) Cleaning / removal fees charged within a reasonable cost where the customer leaves the unit dirty, damaged or containing rubbish, not accessible immediately for another customer.
c) Late payment fees of 10% of the storage charge or £15 (whichever is greater) will be incurred for each 7 day period as the storage charge remains outstanding unless agreed otherwise. 
d) Additional charges, such as reasonable costs of gaining access, replacing a lock or replacing lost keys, up to £50.
e) Any costs incurred for collecting unpaid fees or enforcing this agreement, including debt collection and legal fees.
f) All applicable taxes.
DEFAULT – RIGHT TO SELL OR DISPOSE OF GOODS
Self Storage Hartlepool takes prompt payment seriously and has a right of lien. If any sum is overdue, the Storer authorizes Self Storage Hartlepool to:
a) Deny access to the Unit until the debt is cleared.
b) Enter and inspect or relocate the Goods and charge for any associated costs.
c) Apply the late fees and / or admin fees against the debt. 
d) Self Storage Hartlepool will not sell or dispose of Goods solely because a payment has been outstanding for 14 days.
Before Goods are sold or disposed of for non-payment, Self Storage Hartlepool will give the Storer written notice requiring payment of the outstanding Debt and stating that the Goods may be sold or disposed of if the Debt is not paid within the period specified in that notice.
The notice will be sent using the most recent postal address, email address and/or other contact details supplied by the Storer.
On termination of the agreement, if the Storer fails to remove all Goods, Self Storage Hartlepool may dispose of them.

The Storer is free to choose whether to obtain insurance and which insurance provider to use.

NOTICE
All notices must be given in writing. Self Storage Hartlepool may send notices via email or SMS if consented to by the Storer.
