Owner may increase Rent for the Space with thirty (30) days advance written notice to Occupant. A one (1) month minimum rental is required.

No payments of any kind can be made within forty-eight (48) hours of a lien sale unless said payment is made directly in hand, to the Owner, at the Facility office, by cash, certified or cashier’s check only.

3. INITIALS (optional) - Credit/Debit Card Authorization for Payment of Rent and Other Charges:  Occupant has authorized Owner to automatically charge or debit the credit/debit card referenced in the Terms and Conditions section of the Rental Agreement (which is owned by the Occupant or upon which Occupant has authority to charge) on the Renewal Date of each month, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the amount stated in the Terms and Conditions as Rent and Additional Rent, for each and every month Occupant continues to occupy the Space, unless cancelled in writing by Occupant. This authorization shall continue and include any increases in Rent and other charges assessed to the Occupant. In any circumstance, in the event Occupant terminates this authorization or the Rental Agreement owing any Rent, Additional Rent, or other charges, Owner may charge the credit card any sum due and owing upon termination including, but not exclusively, damages to the Space or Facility, any default charges, clean up charges, and disposal charges. The authorization to charge Rent or other charges shall survive termination of the Rental Agreement if any sums are due and owing at the time of the termination of the charge/debit authorization or the termination of the Rental Agreement. Payment by credit card to cure a Rent delinquency once Occupant is in lien status can only occur if Occupant presents a credit card in Occupant’s own name, at the Facility office or, if the credit card is owned by someone other than Occupant, then the card owner must be present in person, to process the transaction. It is Occupant’s responsibility to notify Owner of any new or updated account information if the bank account or credit card information changes (including updating an expiration date on a credit card.). Occupant shall be charged late fees and other default charges if the credit card payment is not approved by Occupant’s bank/credit card provider.

Owner shall not be responsible to process any payment made on Sunday until the next business day, even if the office is open on Sunday. Notwithstanding the date that other fees and charges are imposed, if payment of Rent, Additional Rent, or other charges is not made on the Renewal Date, Owner may begin enforcement of its lien against Occupant’s Personal Property. Occupant shall pay Owner all other costs and expenses incurred by Owner arising out of or related in any manner to a breach of this Rental Agreement particularly any charges incurred for Rent, late fees, or other charges and expenses incurred in enforcing the lien by Owner, Owner’s collection of any amount owed by the Occupant, or the exercise of any remedy by Owner upon a Default by Occupant (including the sale or other disposition of Occupant’s Personal Property) as permitted under this Rental Agreement or by law. Occupant shall be liable to Owner for Owner’s attorney’s fees incurred in enforcing any of Owner’s rights or Occupant’s responsibilities under this Rental Agreement.

7. Occupant’s Acceptance of Space “AS IS”:  Occupant inspected or had the right to inspect the Space and Facility before signing this Rental Agreement and finds the Space to be suitable for the purpose for which Occupant rents such Space and accepts the same “as is.”  Owner makes no express warranties.  Owner disclaims and Occupant waives all implied warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose to the fullest extent permitted by law. Occupant acknowledges that Owner’s agents have no authority to make warranties, express or implied. Occupant understands that all unit sizes are approximate and enters into this Agreement without reliance on the estimated size of the storage space.

8. Use and Occupancy: Owner is not a warehouseman engaged in the business of storing goods for hire. Owner shall have no obligation to exercise any care, custody or control over Occupant’s Personal Property. No bailment of personal property by Owner is intended or implied by this Rental Agreement. The Space shall be used and occupied only for the storing of Personal Property owned by Occupant.  Occupant shall keep the Space in a clean and sanitary condition and free of rubbish, liquid waste or refuse. Occupant shall not use the Space for the operation of any commercial, industrial, manufacturing or distribution business. The Space is not appropriate for storage of irreplaceable personal property such as collectables, heirlooms, jewelry or objects which have an unknown immediate resale market value. Occupant waives any claim for objects which have a special, sentimental, or emotional value to Occupant.

9. Uses Strictly Prohibited: Occupant shall neither live nor sleep in the Space, nor shall animals be permitted to be stored in the Space. Occupant shall not use the Space for the use or storage of any food; animal feed (including seed); store or release any explosives; highly flammable, fireworks; dangerous, hazardous or toxic materials or substances (as defined below); noxious smelling items; items which emit a gas or odor when exposed to moisture; contraband or illegal substances; firearms; alcohol; perishables or for any unlawful purpose of any kind. Occupant shall not engage in any activity in the Space which produces or releases such prohibited materials. Occupant shall not attach anything to the walls, floor, or ceiling of the Space and shall not affix any signs to the exterior of the Space or building. Occupant shall not use the Space for storage of any gasoline or other fuel oil, grease, or any other lubricant, tires or batteries, or any other accessories, except for such gas, oil, grease, or other lubricant as may be contained in the operating parts of the items stored in the Space and in such case Occupant shall store the personal property with no more than one quarter (1/4) tank of gas and a drip pan or absorbent pad designed to absorb petroleum products under the personal property to retain any leaking fluids.  No propane or empty propane canisters may be stored in the Space. No gas canisters shall be stored in the Space. A Vehicle Storage Addendum must be completed and executed by Owner for any “titled” vehicle stored in the Space. 

10. Limitation on Value of Personal Property: Occupant agrees not to store Personal Property in the Space with a total value in excess of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00).  If the value of Occupant's Personal Property exceeds Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00), Occupant shall immediately notify Owner in writing with a description of the personal property stored in the Space and the value of the personal property. Owner reserves the right to terminate the Rental Agreement immediately upon receiving the aforementioned notice from the Tenant.  In the event any competent court of law adjudicates Owner liable for any loss, for any reason, damages shall be limited as described in the next Paragraph. This provision shall not constitute an admission that Occupant’s Personal Property has any value whatsoever. Higher value limits may be available from Owner for additional consideration if so requested by Occupant in writing to Owner within a reasonable period of time after the commencement of the Rental Agreement (see Owner for details). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Rental Agreement or any Addendum which seeks to modify the limit of value of Personal Property stored, in no event will Owner or Owner’s agents be liable to Occupant or Occupant’s agents for an amount in excess of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00), for any loss or damage whatsoever, including, but not limited to, the active or passive acts, the omissions or negligence of Owner or Owner’s agents. Occupant will not sue Owner or Owner’s agents with respect to any claim, cause or action, loss, or injury to the extent liability therefore has been limited or eliminated pursuant to this Provision. So long as Occupant complies with the requirements of Provisions #8 and #9, Owner does not concern itself with the type, quantity, or quality of the personal property stored.

11. Damages: Occupant shall be responsible to Owner for the costs of repair, clean-up, and replacement for any damages caused as a result of Occupant’s storage in the Space, use of the Space, or Occupant’s and Occupant’s guests’ use of the common areas of the Facility including damage to other occupant’s personal property or other occupants’ vehicles. In the event Owner invoices Occupant for any charges for repairs, clean-up, replacement, or other damages suffered, Occupant shall pay the invoice within ten (10) days or it shall become Additional Rent due and payable with the next month’s Rent. The failure to pay such invoice represents a default under this Agreement. This Provision and the requirement to pay for any damages shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12. INITIALS - Insurance and Subrogation: OWNER DOES NOT HOLD AN INSURANCE POLICY COVERING OCCUPANT’S PERSONAL PROPERTY STORED AT THE FACILITY. OCCUPANT’S PERSONAL PROPERTY IS NOT PROTECTED BY INSURANCE HELD BY THE OWNER. Occupant, at occupant’s expense, must maintain a policy of fire and extended coverage insurance with burglary, vandalism and malicious mischief endorsement for at least 100% of full replacement of such property. Insurance on occupant’s property is a material condition of this Rental Agreement. Occupant expressly agrees that the carrier of such insurance shall not be subrogated to any claim of occupant against owner, owner’s agents or employees. Failure to carry the required insurance is a breach of this Rental Agreement and occupant assumes the risk of loss to stored property that would be covered by such insurance. Occupant may comply with this insurance requirement by providing proof of coverage through a licensed insurance agent, or by participating in the Occupant insurance program offered through the Owner. If you purchased your insurance coverage through this Occupant insurance program and if your premium is more than 30 days past due, under the terms of your Certificate of Insurance, your coverage terminates. This cancellation applies to insurance coverage for your Personal Property in storage at the Facility.

13. Access: Occupant’s access to the Space and the Facility may be limited as reasonably deemed necessary by Owner, including, but not limited to, requiring identification from Occupant, limiting hours of operation, or requiring Occupant to sign-in and sign-out upon entering and leaving the Facility, including the temporary closure of portions or all of the Facility for adverse weather conditions, emergencies, catastrophes, power outages, evacuation orders, or repairs and maintenance. These denials of access shall not represent an Event of Default by Owner or the Facility.  Owner may change the times and methods of access to the Facility with thirty (30) days written notice posted at the entry of the Facility or the Facility office, or Owner’s website, or mailed to Occupant.  In the event of an emergency or catastrophe at or around the Facility, Owner may require Occupant to enter only when escorted by Owner’s employees or agents or Owner may deny access to the Space and Facility.  Owner shall not be liable for Occupant’s inability to enter the Facility or Space as a result of any power outage, hardware or software failure, or errors in use of any access control system by Occupant.

14. INITIALS - Heated Space: Washington law does not define the Term “heated.” This Provision #14 seeks to define the responsibilities of Owner for providing a heated Space. If the Space leased under this Rental Agreement between Owner and Occupant is a heated Space, then this Provision #14 shall apply.  It is agreed that Owner shall use all reasonable efforts to maintain a temperature of above 45˚ Fahrenheit in the building by heating the building containing the Space. No air conditioning is provided at any time. Occupant recognizes that under certain circumstances including, but not exclusively, mechanical failure of heating systems, electrical or other utility blackouts, brownouts, or other failures, acts of God, labor or materials shortages, strikes, malicious mischief, extreme weather conditions, and fire that the temperature may deviate from the stated minimum. Further, while the building temperature will be maintained above the minimum stated herein, the individual Space temperature may vary from the building temperature. Occupant agrees to release Owner from any and all liability arising from any such failure of the heating system which occurs as a result of a failure outside of Owner’s direct control.

15. Locked Space; Storage Occupant’s Risk; Abandonment:    Occupant is required to keep the Space locked using a lock deemed by Occupant to be suitable for the function of self-service storage. Owner recommends disc locks. Owner does not maintain a key to any lock used by Occupant. Occupant shall not use any hasp or sliding device for an additional lock, the second hasp is reserved for Owner’s use.  If a lock is removed for a reason described elsewhere in the Rental Agreement, including Default by Occupant, or if Owner finds an occupied Space without a lock or incorrectly locked, if a lock is removed for an inventory or sale, or if a lock is removed for any other reason described in this Rental Agreement, Owner will notify Occupant, and Owner may, but is not required to, lock the Space with Owner’s lock at Occupant’s expense.  If Owner chooses to re-secure the Space, and Occupant does not replace the lock, then after 5 days, Owner shall put a new lock on the Space and charge Occupant’s account. The keys will be mailed to Occupant’s last known address. All Personal Property stored by Occupant within the Space shall be at Occupant’s sole risk. If the Space is not locked, Occupant is delinquent in Rent, and Owner determines the items contained in the Space have no marketable value (under $300.00) Owner may consider the Space abandoned and dispose of or sell any or all Personal Property in the Space. Owner is not a warehouseman engaged in the business of storing goods for hire. Owner shall have no obligation to exercise any care, custody or control over Occupant’s Personal Property.

16. Release of Liability:  OCCUPANT RELEASES OWNER, ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS FROM: (I) ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RESULTING FROM OCCUPANT’S PERSONAL PROPERTY DAMAGE OR LOSS OF PERSONAL PROPERTY; (II) FOR DAMAGE OR LOSS FROM AND INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FIRE, WATER, THE ELEMENTS, MOLD OR MILDEW, ACTS OF GOD, THEFT, BURGLARY, VANDALISM, MALICIOUS MISCHIEF, MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE, AND RODENT DAMAGE; OR (III) THE ACTS OR FAILURE TO ACT OR NEGLIGENCE OF OWNER, ITS EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS. OCCUPANT FURTHER RELEASES OWNER, ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURIES OR DEATH TO PERSONS INCLUDING OCCUPANT AND OCCUPANT’S FAMILY OR INVITEES ARISING OUT OF OCCUPANTS USE OF THE SPACE AND FACILITY.

17. Release of Owner’s Liability for Bodily Injury: Owner, Owner’s agents and employees shall not be liable to Occupant for injury or death as a result of Occupant’s use of the Space or the Facility, even if such injury is caused by the active or passive acts or omissions or negligence of the Owner, Owner’s agents or employees. CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES.

18. Indemnification: Occupant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Owner harmless from any and all loss, claim, demands, damage, liability, expense, fines or penalties arising out of or related in any manner to such foregoing injuries, death or losses to person or Personal Property, or damages to Occupant’s Personal Property however occurring, or arising out of or related to any breach of this Rental Agreement by Occupant, Occupant’s invitees, or guests. Occupant shall also pay Owner for all of Owner’s attorney fees incurred in enforcing any obligation under this Provision #18. Occupant’s obligation to indemnify Owner specifically applies to any violation by Occupant of the Owner’s environmental conditions and restrictions resulting in damages caused by Occupant, its invitees or guests, regardless of any negligence on the part of Occupant.

19. Owner May Enter: Occupant shall grant owner, owner’s agents or the representatives of any governmental authority, including police and fire officials, access to the premises upon three (3) days prior to written notice to Occupant. In the event Occupant shall not grant access to the premises as required or in the event of an emergency, Owner, Owner’s agents or the representatives of any governmental authority shall have the right to remove Occupant’s lock and enter the premises for the purpose of examining the premises and taking such other action as may be necessary or appropriate to preserve the premises, or to comply with applicable law or enforce any of Owner’s rights. Owner shall not be liable for any losses occasioned by such entry.

20. Defaults; Owner Remedies: If Occupant breaches any term or condition of this Rental Agreement (a “Default”), Owner in addition to such other rights it may have under this Rental Agreement and law shall have the right to terminate this Rental Agreement.  If Occupant fails to pay any Rent or other charges when due or if the Rental Agreement is terminated by Owner for cause, Owner may: (i) deactivate gate access to the Space as early as ten (10) days after Default; (ii) overlock the Space; (iii) remove Occupant’s lock and access the Space; however, Rent and other charges shall continue to accrue in an overlock or lock removal status until the Space is sold or released, and overlock or lock removal shall not be deemed an election of remedies by Owner and shall not constitute Owner taking possession of, or a bailment over, the Personal Property, or to terminate the obligation to pay Rent or other charges under this Rental Agreement; (iv) inventory and/or take possession if desired, of the Personal Property located in the Space; (v) sell or dispose of the Personal Property in the Space as permitted by law; or (vi) pursue any and all remedies available, at law or equity, including a forcible entry and detainer action against Occupant. If internet payments are available at this Facility and Occupant is in default and is overlocked or if the lock is cut and replaced with Owner’s lock and then, if Occupant pays by internet, Owner is not required to remove the overlock or take off Owner’s lock until the next business day after payment has been made in full. Owner reserves the right not to remove its replacement lock (after lock cut) until Occupant is present and replaces the lock with Occupant’s own new lock, or Owner in its sole discretion can remove its lock leaving the Space unlocked. In any case, Owner shall not be liable to Occupant for any damages Occupant suffers as a result of not being able to get access to the Space after late payment arising from failure to immediately remove Owner’s lock or overlock. All remedies available to Owner shall be cumulative and the exercise of one or more remedies shall not exclude or waive Owner’s rights as to any other remedy.

21.  INITIALS (optional) Notices:

22. Partial Payments or Payment in the Event of Default: Owner, at Owner’s sole discretion, may accept or reject partial rent payments. Acceptance of partial payments of rent by Owner shall not constitute a waiver of Owner’s right and Occupant understands and agrees that acceptance of a partial rent payment made to cure a default for non-payment of rent shall not delay or stop foreclosure on Occupant’s stored property as provided by the Washington Self- Service Storage Facility Act.

23. Assignment and Subletting: Occupant may not assign its rights under this Rental Agreement or sublet the Space without the prior written consent of Owner.  This Rental Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, assigns, executors, administrators, representatives and successors of the parties hereto.
