      3. Treat any Goods not sold in accordance with Condition 17.1.2 as abandoned and destroy or otherwise dispose of them.
  2. Because the nature and type of goods being stored by you from time to time is entirely within your discretion (subject to Condition 7 and 8) You must ensure that the Unit is suitable for the storage of the goods that you store or intend to store in it. We cannot guarantee that any unit allocated to you is a suitable place or means of storage for any particular goods. We strongly advise you to inspect the Unit before storing Goods in the Unit and from time to time throughout the period of this Licence.
    1. Please note that we do not insure the Goods whilst they are on Site.
    2. Business Customers; You undertake to us as follows:
      1. that prior to bringing the Goods onto the Site You have taken out adequate insurance in respect of the Goods under a policy which covers at least Normal Perils (as set out below) with a reputable insurance company and will not cause or allow that insurance cover to lapse whilst the Goods or any of them remain on the Site and you acknowledge that you shall be responsible for all uninsured risks including Normal Perils; and
      2. Normal Perils in this Condition mean loss of or damage to Goods caused by fire, lightning, explosion, earthquake, aircraft, storm, flood, bursting and/or leaking pipes, theft, riot, strike, civil commotion, malicious damage, and impact by vehicles.
      3. We recommend that the insurance cover that you take out is for a sum which is at least equal to the replacement value of the Goods stored in the Unit from time to time and require you to provide evidence of such insurance cover prior to granting you access to the Unit and while your goods remain on site.
      4. In order to give you more protection we may offer you the opportunity to benefit from our insurance policy using a policy available through us. You may apply for this by completing a separate application form.
      5. We do not give any advice concerning such insurance and it is for you to make your own judgement (with the help of your insurance broker) whether such insurance is appropriate to cover the Goods and risks to them.
    3. Domestic Customers;

    1. Subject to the above, to the extent that our liability to you is not limited under clauses 20.ii – 20.v below, our total financial responsibility to you however arising (including any claim that you may have under 20.i – 20.v below) will come to no more than 120% of the value of the Goods as set out by You in Part 1 of this Licence, even if the actual loss you suffer is more than that.
    2. we will not be responsible for any loss or damage caused by us or our employees or agents in circumstances where there is no breach of legal duty or care owed to You by us or by any of our employees or agents, such loss or damage is not a reasonably foreseeable result of any such breach and any increase in loss or damage resulting from breach by You of any term of the Licence.
    3. If You are using the Unit in part or in whole for commercial purposes then, subject to Condition 20 above we shall not be responsible for loss of profits (whether direct or indirect), loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill, loss of contract nor for other economic loss (direct or indirect) arising out of a breach of the Licence.
    4. In certain cases we may not be able to allow you access to the Unit or Site, or carry out some of our other obligations because of something that is outside our reasonable control.

If this happens then we will not be responsible for so long as the event continues for failing to allow access to Your Goods.

    3. You will not be responsible for losses we incur which arise from our breach of this Licence (including where our breach has put you in breach of this Licence).

If you do not do so, you shall pay our reasonable costs of cleaning the Unit or disposing of any goods or rubbish left in the Unit or on the Site. We may treat Goods remaining in the Unit after the Licence End Date as abandoned and may dispose of them in accordance with Condition 17. You will also be responsible for the removal of any rubbish you create during this Licence; we do not provide waste bins for your use. If you leave rubbish on the Site or use our bins a charge will be applied to your account for the cost of its removal.
  8. The Licence Fees will be apportioned on a daily basis for any period of less than the charge period. Where this Licence has terminated and you have paid more of the Licence Fees and charges than are due at the End Date, we will refund the balance to you after deduction of any payments due to us as if the balance were a Deposit under Condition 16. Where any payments are still outstanding from You, You must pay us in full before we will release the Goods to You.
  9. You agree to examine the Goods carefully upon removing them from the Unit and must tell us about any loss or damage to the Goods as soon as is reasonably possible after doing so.
