DEFAULT – RIGHT TO SELL OR DISPOSE OF GOODS:

and other fees related to it are not paid when due (Debt), You authorise Smartroom without further notice to: (a) refuse You and Your Agents access to the Goods, the Unit and the Facility and overlock the Unit until the Debt has been paid in full; (b) enter the Unit and inspect and/or remove the Goods to another unit or site and to charge You for all reasonable costs of doing so on any number of occasions; and (c) apply the Deposit against the Debt and, if insufficient to clear it in full, hold onto and/or ultimately sell or dispose of some or all of the Goods in accordance with Conditions 23 to 34.

23. The Goods are left in the Room at Your sole risk;
24. Without limiting Condition 24 or 59 or 62, We exclude any liability in respect of the Goods when payment of Our Rent or charges is overdue; and We may immediately exercise the lien described in this Licence (in particular in Condition 25).
25. On expiry or termination of this Agreement, if You fail to remove all Goods from the Unit, Smartroom is authorised to treat the Goods as abandoned and may sell or dispose of all Goods by any means in accordance with Conditions 26 to 34.

This notice will be sent by registered or recorded delivery to the postal address last notified by You to Smartroom in writing and by email and/or social media. If no address within the UK has been provided, Smartroom will use any land or email address or social media details it holds for You and any ACP. If You fail to pay the Debt and/or collect the Goods (as appropriate) Smartroom will access the Unit and begin the process to sell or dispose of the Goods. You consent to and authorise the sale or disposal of all Goods without further notice regardless of their nature, content or value. Smartroom will sell the Goods for the best price reasonably available in the open market, taking into account the costs of sale. Smartroom may also require payment of default action costs, including any costs associated with accessing the Unit and disposal or sale of the Goods, which shall be added to the Debt.
27. Sale proceeds will be applied first against the cost of removal and sale of Goods and second to pay the Debt. If sale proceeds do not discharge all of these costs and the Debt, You must pay Smartroom the balance within 7 days of a written demand from Smartroom. Smartroom may take action to recover the balance and any legal and administration costs incurred in doing so. If sale proceeds exceed the amount due from You, Smartroom will hold the balance for You but no interest will be payable on it.
28. If, in the opinion of Smartroom and entirely at Smartroom’s discretion, the Goods are either not saleable, fail to sell when offered for sale, or are not of sufficient value to warrant the expense of attempting to sell, You authorise Smartroom to treat the Goods as abandoned and Smartroom may dispose of all Goods by any means at Your cost. Smartroom may dispose of the Goods at Smartroom’s discretion in the event that (a) Goods are damaged due to fire, flood or other event that has rendered them, in the opinion of the Smartroom, severely damaged, of no commercial value, or dangerous to persons or property, or (b) Goods may contain personal data belonging to You or others. Smartroom does not need Your prior approval to take this action but will send Notice to You within 7 days of assessing damaged Goods.
29.Any items left unattended in common areas or outside Your Unit at any time shall be treated as abandoned and may at Smartroom’s discretion be moved, sold or disposed of immediately with no liability to Smartroom.

These costs will include (for example) auction costs, removal costs, cleaning costs and charges for Our own time; secondly to pay Your Debt and to hold any balance for You. We are not required to give You any interest on the balance; and where We decide to sell the Goods, We will sell the Goods by any method(s) reasonably available to achieve a selling price reasonably obtainable in the open market, taking into account the costs of sale.
32.If in Our opinion 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 destroy or otherwise dispose of them at Your cost (and this cost will be added to Your Debt).
33.In respect of Goods that contain personal data (within the meaning of applicable data protection laws) or Goods that We reasonably consider may contain personal data (for example, electronic devices that could store personal data or physical materials such as documents, diaries, audiovisual storage media (e.g. CDs) and photographs that could contain personal data), and where We exercise the lien described in Condition 22-34 or where Condition 22 applies, We will dispose of or destroy such Goods at Your cost (and this cost will be added to Your Debt).
34. We may also dispose of Your Goods if Your Goods are damaged due to fire, flood or any other event that has made the Goods (in Our opinion) severely damaged, of no commercial value, or dangerous to people or Our store. We do not need Your prior approval to take this action, but We will send notice to You within seven (7) days of assessing the Goods (or, where possible, We will try to give You prior notice).

This Agreement does not confer on the Customer any right to exclusive possession of the Unit and Smartroom reserves the right to relocate Customer to another Unit not smaller than the current Unit (a) by giving 7 day’s notice during which the Customer can elect to terminate their agreement or (b) on shorter notice if an incident occurs that requires the Unit or section where it is located to be closed or sealed off. In these circumstances, Smartroom will pay Customer’s reasonable costs of removal if approved in writing by Smartroom in advance of removal. If Customer does not arrange removal by the date specified in Smartroom’s notice, then Customer authorises Smartroom and its agents to enter Unit acting as Customer’s agents and at Customer’s risk (except for damage caused wilfully or negligently which is subject to the limitations in Condition 59).
52. You must ensure the Unit is suitable for the storage of the Goods intended to be stored in it and You are advised to inspect the Unit before storing Goods and periodically during the storage period. Smartroom makes no warranty or representation that any unit is suitable for any particular goods and accepts no liability in this regard. Unit sizes are approximate. If You have exact requirements, You must check with Smartroom before signing this Agreement as, by signing, You agree to the actual size of the Unit and not any represented unit size.
53. Smartroom may refuse storage of any Goods or require You to remove Goods if in Smartroom’s opinion storage of such Goods creates a risk to the safety of any person or property.
54.Customer must give Notice to Smartroom in writing of the change of address, phone numbers or email address of the Customer within 48 hours of any change.
55. By giving You seven (7) days’ written notice if We close the Store or any part of the Store for redevelopment; in these circumstances, where We have given You prior notice, You shall remove the Goods from the current Room and move them to the new Room. The Goods may need to be moved from the Room to another Room in another store, which We will try to ensure is as near as possible to the Store in the given circumstances. We agree to pay Your reasonable costs of removal if We have approved those reasonable costs in writing in advance of the removal.
36. If You do not arrange for the removal of Goods to the alternative Room by the date specified in Our notice (where applicable), We and Our agents and contractors may enter the Room and arrange for removal of the Goods. In doing so, We and Our agents and contractors will act as Your agent and the removal will be at Your risk (except for loss or damage caused wilfully or negligently by Us and Our agents and contractors, which is subject to limitation of Our liability contained in Condition 59).
56.If the Goods are moved to an alternative Room, this Licence will be varied by the substitution of the alternative Room number but shall otherwise continue in full force and effect and Our Rent at the rate set out on the Licence Form will continue to apply to the alternative Room.
57. In the event of a fire or flood or other incident or occurrence at the Store which in Our opinion requires the Room or any part of the Store to be closed or sealed off, and We will try and give You seven (7) days’ written notice but this may not always be possible;
RISK AND RESPONSIBILITY:

Smartroom excludes all liability in respect of (a) loss or damage to Your business, if any, including consequential loss, lost profits or business interruption; (b) loss of or damage to Goods or any claim for return of the Storage Fees except where this results from Smartroom’s negligence or breach of contract, in which case Smartroom’s liability will be limited to the sum of £100 in total. Smartroom does not exclude liability for physical injury to or the death of any person which is a direct result of negligence or wilful default on the part of Smartroom, its agents and/or employees.
60.

Customer warrants that such cover is in place, that it will not allow or cause such cover to lapse and that the aggregate value of Goods in the Unit from time to time will not exceed the Replacement Value. Smartroom does not give any advice concerning insurance cover given by any policy and Customer must make its own judgment as to adequacy of cover even when facilitated by Smartroom. Inspection of any insurance documents provided by Customer to demonstrate cover does not mean Smartroom has approved the cover or confirmed it is sufficient.
61. If We have told You that You are required to hold public liability insurance, You will provide Us with evidence of Your public liability insurance and a copy of the policy upon Our request. You will not allow any insurance cover. We require You to hold to lapse throughout the Licence Period. Inspection by Us of any insurance documents provided by You to demonstrate cover does not mean that We have approved the cover or confirmed it is sufficient.
62. We do not exclude liability to You where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for physical injury to or the death of any person and which is a direct result of Our negligence or wilful default or that of Our agents and/or employees or for breach of Your legal rights in relation to the services.

64. You agree to comply with this Agreement and all laws and regulations relevant to the use of the Unit. This includes laws relating to material which is stored and the manner in which it is stored. You will be responsible for all Liabilities resulting from such a breach.
65. If Smartoom has reason to believe that You are not complying with all relevant laws FO may take any action it considers necessary, including, but not limited to, action outlined in this license, contacting, cooperating with and/or submitting Goods to relevant authorities, and/or immediately disposing of or removing Goods at Your expense. You agree that FO may take such action at any time even though FO could have acted earlier.
66. Smartroom shall not be considered to be in breach of this Agreement nor liable for any delay in performing or failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any resulting loss or damage to Goods if such delay, failure, loss or damage results from events, circumstances or causes beyond FO’s reasonable control. Such circumstances include (but are not limited to) any Act of God, riot, strike or lock-out,
trade dispute or labour disturbance, accident, breakdown of plant or machinery, fire, flood, shortage of labour, materials or transport, electrical power failures, threat of or actual terrorism or environmental or health emergency or hazard or recommended restrictions, or entry into any unit including the Unit or the Facility by, or arrest or seizure or confiscation of Goods by, competent authorities. If this happens, Smartroom will not be responsible for failing to allow access to the Goods, Unit and/or the Facility for so long as the circumstances continue. Smartroom will try to minimise any effects arising from such circumstances. Any dispute as to the ownership of the Room or as to the person who is entitled to law to have possession of the Room; and/or Our enforcement of any of the Conditions of this Licence.

67.You agree to comply with this Licence and all relevant laws and regulations that are or may be applicable to the use of the Room. This includes laws relating to the Goods which are stored and how You store the Goods. You are responsible for any breach of those laws, and You must compensate Us for the full amount of all claims, liabilities, demands, damages, costs and expenses We incur due to Your breach of laws.

Further, you acknowledge and agree that the Smart Storage Services or other paid services or products provided by Smartroom may be made available on a recurring subscription basis (“Subscription Services”). If you enrol in any Subscription Services, you agree to a recurring payment program, which will continue for the agreed-upon subscription period or minimum storage term, if applicable, and automatically renew for additional subsequent periods unless and until you cancel the Subscription Services or Smartroom suspends, discontinues, or terminates them. Smartroom may offer a number of subscription plans for Subscription Services with different conditions and limitations. Any materially different pricing or payment terms will be disclosed on the Site, in your
Smartroom Account, and/or in other communications made to you. For Subscription
Services, we will automatically charge the payment method associated with your Smartroom Account on a recurring basis, depending on the subscription term you choose. For Smart Storage Services, day one of your billing cycle is the date you begin storing Customer Items with us. You acknowledge that the amount billed may vary due to promotional offers, changes in your Subscription Services plan, and/or changes in applicable taxes, and you authorise us to charge your payment method for the corresponding amounts. You further acknowledge that the amount of the recurring charge may change if the applicable tax rates change or if you are notified that there will be an increase in the applicable subscription fees.
You hereby authorise Smartroom to bill the subscription fee to your Payment Method, along with any applicable taxes or additional fees due during the billing period. You must cancel the Subscriptions Services prior to the end of the then-current subscription period in order to avoid billing of the next subscription period’s subscription fees to your
Payment Method.
Any change to our Subscription Services’ pricing or payment terms shall become effective in the billing cycle following notice of such change to you as provided in these Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, fees for booking initial appointments, additional pickups and/or deliveries, final returns, or other appointments or add-on services are subject to change and will be calculated on the Site, at the Pickup Address on the date of your appointment, or in your Smartroom Account at the time of booking.
You may cancel your Subscription Services at any time once the minimum storage term you committed to has been met; however, you will not receive a refund for the thencurrent subscription period. If your Subscription Services are canceled before the minimum storage term you committed to has been met, all applicable fees (including payment for the remainder of the minimum storage term and any applicable termination fees, disposal fees, and/or return fees) will be due and charged to you upon booking a final return of the Customer Items. To cancel the Subscription Services, book a final return of the Customer Items through your Smartroom Account at https:// account.Smartroom.com. When you cancel the Subscription Services, you cancel only future charges associated with your Smartroom Account. You may notify us of your intent to cancel the Subscription Services by booking a final return of the Customer Items, but the cancellation will only become effective at the end of the subscription period in which we perform your final return. You will continue to have the same access and benefits of the Services for the remainder of the current subscription period.

BUSINESS FAILURE:
In the event that Smartroom ceases operations, we will attempt to make reasonable efforts to return or deliver your Customer Items to you, but cannot guarantee if and when such returns will occur. Smartroom will not be liable for any failure to return Customer Items in the event of a business failure.
