1. So long as all fees are paid up to date, the Customer:
    (a) is licensed to store goods in the unit allocated by Loc It Up from time to time and only in that unit;
    (b) is deemed to have knowledge of the goods in the unit; and
    (c) warrants that they are the owner of the goods in the unit and/or entitled at law to deal with them in accordance with all aspects of this agreement as agent for the owner.
2. Loc It Up:
    (a) does not have and will not be deemed to have knowledge of the goods;
    (b) is not a bailee, custodian, or warehouseman of the goods;
    (c) does not grant any lease or tenancy of the unit; and
    (d) provides unit sizes that are approximate and may vary slightly from those described. By signing this agreement, you accept the actual size of the unit provided.

1. The Customer is responsible to pay:
    (a) The Storage Fee, being the amount set out on www.locitup.co.uk at the time of booking, or as otherwise agreed or most recently notified, payable monthly in advance on the Due Date. Payment must be made directly to Loc It Up on time and in full. Payment is not accepted until cleared funds are received.
   (b) A Cleaning Fee, to be invoiced at Loc It Up’s discretion in circumstances described in this agreement.
   (c) Any costs incurred by Loc It Up in collecting late or unpaid storage fees, or in enforcing this agreement, including postal, telephone, debt collection, personnel, default action costs, and legal fees.
   (d) Any applicable government taxes or VAT on supplies made under this agreement.
2. Where the Customer has more than one agreement with Loc It Up, all agreements form one account, and Loc It Up may apply payments against the oldest debt due on any agreement.

1. Loc It Up takes prompt payment seriously and has a right of lien. If any sum owing to Loc It Up is not paid when due, the Customer authorises Loc It Up without further notice to:
    (a) refuse access to the goods, unit, and facility and lock the unit until the debt is paid in full;
    (b) enter the unit and inspect and/or remove the goods to another unit or site, charging the Customer all reasonable costs of doing so;
    (c) apply additional charges and, if insufficient to clear the debt, sell or dispose of goods as outlined below.
2. The Customer acknowledges that:
    (a) storage charges continue to accrue until payment is made or goods are sold;
    (b) Loc It Up will sell the goods as if it were the owner and transfer ownership to the buyer; and
    (c) if fees are not paid on time, any discounts or offers (including free storage periods) will be payable in full.
3. On expiry or termination, if goods are not removed, Loc It Up is authorised to treat them as abandoned and may sell or dispose of them by any means. The Customer remains liable for fees from abandonment to sale or disposal.
4. Before sale or disposal, Loc It Up will give written notice directing the Customer to pay or collect the goods. Notices will be sent by registered post or email to the last address provided. If the Customer fails to act within one month, Loc It Up will access the unit and proceed with sale or disposal.
5. Sale proceeds will first cover removal and sale costs, then the debt. Any shortfall remains payable by the Customer within 7 days of written demand. Excess funds, if any, will be held for the Customer without interest.
6. If goods are not saleable, fail to sell, or are of insufficient value, the Customer authorises Loc It Up to dispose of them at their cost. Loc It Up may also dispose of goods damaged by fire, flood, or other events that render them valueless or hazardous.
7. Items left in common areas or outside the Customer’s unit may be moved, sold, or disposed of immediately without liability.
