18. The Prompt Payment of each and every sum (including interest) whether invoiced or not, owing from You to Us from time to time under this Agreement or any other agreement between You and us (in this Condition, called “Your Debt”) is of the essence of this Agreement.

18.2 In default of Prompt Payment of Your Debt,

18.2.1 Subject to Condition 21A, if applicable, we are relived of any duty howsoever arising in respect of the Goods; and

18.2.2 the Goods are held solely at Your risk and we shall be able to immediately exercise the lien described below.

18.3 We have a lien over the Goods for Your Debt until payment of Your Debt in full has been received by us in cash or, if by cheque, until the cheque has been paid by your bank and after this lien becomes exercisable by us, the following Conditions apply.

18.4 You shall pay us fees and charges at the same rates as under this Agreement and if this Agreement has been terminated, the relevant rate at which such fees and charges will be payable by You will be the rate which was payable immediately prior to termination; and

18.5.2 to enter the Unit and inspect and remove the Goods to another unit or Site;

18.5.3 to hold onto and/or ultimately dispose of some or all of the Goods.

18.6 In the event that Your Debt is not paid promptly or You fail to collect the Goods after we have required You collect them or upon expiry or termination of this Agreement, we may, subject to Condition 18.8, sell the Goods and pass all ownership to them and use the proceeds of sale to pay first the costs incurred by us in the sale and removal, and secondly in paying Your Debt and to hold any balance for You. Interest will not accrue to You on the balance.

18.7 If the proceeds of sale are insufficient to discharge all or any part of the costs of sale incurred by us and Your Debt, You must pay any balance outstanding to us within seven days of written demand from us which will set out the balance remaining due to us after the net proceeds of sale have been credited to You. Interest will continue to accrue on Your Debt until payment has been made.

18.8 Before we sell the Goods, we will give You notice in writing by post at your address provided or any address notified by You to us in writing prior to our notice, specifying any particulars that we have of the Goods, the amount of Your Debt at the date of the notice (and in our sole discretion, specifying any amount by which Your Debt is increasing after the date of that notice) and directing You to pay and that in default of payment within one months after the date of the notice, we will sell the Goods. We do not agree to give You any further notice of any intended sale.

18.10 If the Goods cannot reasonably and economically be sold (for any reason whatsoever) or they remain unsold despite our efforts, You authorise us to treat them as abandoned by You and to destroy or otherwise dispose of them at your cost.

19. Because the nature and type of goods being stored by You from time to time is entirely within your discretion (subject to Condition 8 and 9) You must ensure that the Unit is suitable for the storage of the goods that You store or intend to store in it. We do not warrant or represent 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 Agreement.

20. In the event that You do not pay any Fees or charge, the Goods are left in the unit at your sole risk. We exclude any liability in respect of the Goods when payment of our fees or charge is overdue and exclude any duty of care howsoever arising.

21. Unless Condition 21A applies we do not insure the Goods.

21.2 Subject to Condition 21A You warrant to us as follows;

21.2.1 that prior to bringing the Goods onto the Site you have insured or will insure the Goods against all normal perils under a valid contract of insurance with a reputable insurance company for their full replacement value and will not cause or allow that insurance cover to lapse whilst the Goods or any of them remain on the Site; and

21.3. We exclude all liability in respect of loss or damage relating to Your business, if any, including consequential loss, lost profits on business interruption, and all liability in respect of loss or damage to the Goods caused by Normal Perils, including as a result of negligence by us, our agents an/or employees above the sum of £50 which we consider to be the normal excess on a standard household insurance policy whether or not that policy would cover the Goods.

21.4. Normal Perils in this Condition mean loss of or damage to Goods caused by fire, lightning, explosion, earthquake, aircraft, storm, flood, bursting &/or leaking pipes, theft accompanied by forcible and violent entry or exit, riot, strike, civil commotion, malicious damage, and impact by vehicles.

21.5. You warrant that:

21.5.1. You have provided to us the true total value of all the Goods.

21.5.2. the aggregate value of the Goods stored in the Unit from time to time will not exceed that value; and this warranty is repeated by You to us at each Due Date.

21A. This Condition applies only if You have accepted the Insurance Option. In that event, the following provisions of this Condition 21A shall apply.

21A.1. We shall take out and maintain a contract of insurance in accordance with the [Specimen] [summary of terms] provided to you providing cover to us for the Goods and for the purposes of such insurance cover, the replacement value of the Goods shall be the True Total of the Value of the Goods stated at the beginning of this Agreement.

For the purposes of processing any such claim You shall provide us, the insurer or any agent of the insurer appointed to investigate such claim, with such information and assistance in relation to the claim as may reasonably be required.

21A.3. In the event that we make a claim under such insurance cover in respect of damage or loss caused to the Goods, we shall pay or arrange for payment to You that part of any proceeds of such claim made by us which relates to such damage or loss to the Goods after deduction of any outstanding sums due to us from you. For the avoidance of doubt, You acknowledge that our liability in respect of any claim under such insurance cover is restricted to the payment to You of those sums which we recover which relate to the Goods.
