Large items in storage, such as caravans, campervans and vessels (hereafter referred to as “Units”) should  be secured by customers prior to leaving the site and batteries required to power any audible alarms should  be fully charged. Alarm systems fitted to Units should be in full working order. 

National Self Storage will always use our best endeavours to ensure that stored items are safe and secure  but we cannot take any responsibility for theft or damage.

Use of the established fixing points  in Containers is permitted. 

Parking directly outside your Container for loading and unloading is permitted for a maximum period of 30  minutes. Vehicle parking should at all times be within 3 metres of your Container. 

Customers give their permission to allow us to break their lock and / or gain entry to their Unit or Container  in an emergency. We will also access the Unit or Container if required to do so by any of the UK Emergency  Services, H.M. Customs & Excise, Local Authorities, by a Court Order or when otherwise required to do so  by law.

This agreement gives you  

a personal License to occupy an agreed area of our site to store a Unit or to store items within a Container  (items stored in a Container hereafter shall be referred to as “Goods”) until the Agreement is terminated.

Payment Terms 

Licence Fees will be payable in advance on a monthly basis. A deposit amount of a minimum of one month’s  rental will be required prior to the start of any Licence Agreement. 14 days written notice is required for  termination by either party. 

Container storage Licence Fees will be payable for a minimum period of 3 months. Unit (caravans,  campervans, and vessels) Licence Fees will be payable for a minimum period of 6 months. 

A failure to pay any part of the Licence Fee or additional charges will incur a late payment charge of £5 / day  in addition to your normal Licence Fee. In the event that your account remains in arrears for 30 days, we  may; 

  1. i) give you written notice, by email or hard copy letter, that we will remove your Unit or Goods within 7  days; 
  2. ii) Upon the expiry of the 7 days’ notice, we will make further reasonable attempts to contact you for 14  days after which time we may sell your Unit or Goods on your behalf and pass good title to them to the  buyer. The proceeds of sale will then be used to discharge any outstanding fees and charges due, with any  surplus being returned to you. If the sale proceeds are insufficient to discharge your outstanding liability to  us then you will remain liable for the balance; 

iii) Treat any Unit or Goods not sold as abandoned and destroy or otherwise dispose of them. Any costs  incurred will be for your account and we may pass your account to a debt recovery agency which may  further increase the amounts you owe. 

Termination 

14 days written notice is required for Termination by either party. On Termination of this Agreement, all  Goods and Units must be removed from the site which should be left clean and tidy and in the same  condition as the commencement date. We may charge an appropriate amount if we have to clean the  Container or site after your departure, dispose of Units or Goods left behind, or dispose of waste left by  you. In signing the Licence Agreement, you agree that we may deduct these charges from your deposit  amount. 

We do not give refunds on advance discounted long-term Licence payments should you remove your Unit  or empty your Container before the end of the Licence term.
