Deposit. The Renter shall pay to the Company the Damage Deposit immediately upon acceptance of these Terms. Upon termination of this arrangement, provided the Unit is left in a clean and undamaged condition and all other monies payable hereunder have been paid by the Renter, the Damage Deposit shall be returned to the Renter.
Relationship. It is expressly understood that the storage of the Renter’s property in the Unit does not create the existence of a bailor/bailee relationship between the Company and the Renter. The Company does not hereby take care, custody, or control of the Property.
Fee. The Renter shall pay the Company the four week fee, plus HST, payable in advance on the first day of the agreement and every four weeks thereafter.

The Renter agrees that the Company shall have the right without notice to enter into the Unit by any means necessary, including the destruction of the Renter’s lock, for the purpose of examining the Unit for any violations to these Terms or for making urgent repairs or alterations. The Company reserves the right to move the contents of the Unit to another unit or facility.
Failure to Pay. In the event the Renter fails to pay any amount required to be paid under these Terms, the Company shall have a lien upon the Property and may detain that Property until such amount is paid in full. If such amount in not paid within thirty (30) days after notice of the lien has been given to the Renter in writing by registered mail or prepaid courier at the address of the Renter set out in these Terms, the Company may, without prejudice to any other remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, cause the Property to be sold either by way of public or private sale and may retain from the proceeds of the sale the expenses of such sale and the amount due to the Company under these Terms. The Company shall return to the Renter any surplus of the proceeds. In the event the proceeds of the sale are not sufficient to pay the expenses of the sale and the amounts due to the Company under these Terms, the Renter shall immediately pay the deficiency. Notices shall be deemed to have been received, if sent by mail, on the fifth (5th) day following the date of mailing and, if delivered personally, by registered mail, by courier, or by electronic means, on the day they were delivered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is under no obligation to sell the Property and may, at its discretion, dispose of it at the Renter’s expense and risk.
Termination at the Option of the Company. The Company may terminate this arrangement at any time, without cause or liability, by giving the Renter fifteen (15) days’ written notice.

The Company may terminate this arrangement, without liability, by giving the Renter one (1) day’s written notice where, in the sole opinion of the Company, the Renter has breached any provision of these Terms.

The Company shall not obtain and is not responsible for obtaining such insurance on behalf of the Renter. The Renter agrees that the Renter shall have no claim, right of action, or right of subrogation against the Company based on any loss or liability insured under such insurance. The Renter agrees that any failure on its part to maintain adequate insurance shall impose no financial obligation on the Company with respect to any Claims related thereto.
