Tottenham Storage Terms and Conditions

These Tottenham Storage Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which storage services are provided, including how bookings are made, how payments are handled, when cancellations may apply, and what responsibilities rest with the customer. By making a reservation or using the service, you agree to these terms in full. These conditions are designed to create a clear, fair, and practical agreement for the storage of goods, whether for short periods or longer arrangements.

For the purposes of these terms, references to “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Tottenham Storage, and references to “you” or “your” mean the customer, account holder, or any person acting on their behalf. These terms apply to all storage bookings unless we have agreed otherwise in writing. They should be read alongside any booking confirmation, inventory details, access rules, or service-specific instructions provided at the time of reservation.

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory changes. The version in force at the time of booking will normally apply to that booking, unless a change is required by law or is needed to address safety, compliance, or security concerns. Any continued use of the storage service after changes take effect will be treated as acceptance of the updated terms.

1. Booking Process

Storage bookings may be made through our approved reservation process, which may include an online form, telephone booking, written request, or another method we make available. A booking is not confirmed until we have received the required details and issued confirmation. We may ask for identification, contact information, vehicle details, or information relating to the items being stored before accepting a booking. This helps us ensure the space and service are suitable for your needs.

When you make a booking, you must ensure that all information provided is accurate, complete, and not misleading. This includes the nature of the goods, approximate quantity, any special handling requirements, and any hazards or restrictions relevant to the items. If you fail to disclose important information, we may refuse the booking, suspend access, or end the storage arrangement without liability for any resulting loss.

Bookings are offered subject to availability, and we reserve the right to decline or cancel a reservation where we reasonably consider that the requested service cannot be safely or properly provided. We may also require a deposit or initial payment before confirming the booking. Unless otherwise stated, the booking will begin on the agreed start date and continue for the agreed term, or on a rolling basis where no fixed end date has been selected.

2. Access, Use of Space, and Storage Standards

You must only use the storage unit or allocated space for lawful purposes and in accordance with these terms. The stored goods must belong to you, or you must have full authority from the owner to store them. You are responsible for packing your items properly so that they are fit for storage and do not create a risk to other property, staff, or the premises. We recommend that fragile, valuable, and sensitive items are suitably wrapped, labelled, and protected before storage.

You must not store items that are prohibited by law, unsafe, illegal, stolen, counterfeit, contaminated, perishable, environmentally harmful, or otherwise unsuitable for storage. This includes, without limitation, explosives, firearms, gas cylinders, highly flammable materials, radioactive substances, live animals, and goods that emit unpleasant odours or attract pests. If any such items are discovered, we may take immediate action, including removal, disposal, notification of authorities, or termination of the agreement.

We reserve the right to carry out inspections where reasonably required for safety, compliance, or operational reasons. Any inspection will be carried out in a proportionate manner and, where possible, with reasonable notice. We may also move items within the facility where necessary for maintenance, security, emergency response, or space management. Such action does not transfer responsibility for the contents to us and does not alter your obligations under these terms.

3. Payments and Charges

All charges are payable in accordance with the price communicated at the time of booking or as otherwise agreed in writing. Charges may include storage fees, deposits, administration fees, late payment charges, cleaning or waste charges, access charges, or any other costs that are clearly identified before they are incurred. Unless stated otherwise, prices are quoted exclusive of VAT or other applicable taxes, which will be added where required by law.

Payment must be made in the manner and by the date specified in your booking confirmation or invoice. Where storage is provided on a recurring basis, payment is usually due in advance for each billing period. If a payment fails, is reversed, or is not received on time, we may suspend access to the storage space, withhold the release of goods, or terminate the agreement after giving reasonable notice where required. Interest or reasonable recovery costs may also be applied to overdue sums, subject to applicable law.

We may review charges from time to time. If a price change affects an ongoing booking, we will give reasonable notice where practicable. Continued use of the service after the notice period will be treated as acceptance of the revised charges. Any disputed charge must be raised promptly and in good faith. A dispute does not relieve you of the obligation to pay any undisputed amount by the due date.

4. Cancellations, Termination, and Uncollected Goods

You may cancel a booking before the storage start date, subject to any cancellation policy stated at the time of reservation. If a deposit has been taken, it may be refundable, partially refundable, or non-refundable depending on the notice given and any costs we have already incurred. Where no specific cancellation arrangement is stated, reasonable administrative and preparation costs may be retained to the extent permitted by law.

For ongoing storage, either party may terminate the agreement by giving the notice period set out in the booking terms or invoice. If no notice period is specified, termination should be given within a reasonable time. On termination, all goods must be removed by the agreed end date. If items are not collected on time, we may continue to charge storage fees and, after reasonable notice, take steps to remove, store elsewhere, sell, or dispose of the goods in accordance with our legal rights and obligations.

We may end the agreement immediately, or with short notice where appropriate, if you breach these terms, fail to pay amounts due, provide false information, store prohibited goods, or act in a way that creates safety, legal, or operational risk. Termination does not affect any rights or obligations that arose before the agreement ended, including unpaid charges, liability for damage, and any waste handling or disposal costs.

5. Liability, Risk, and Insurance

Storage is provided on the basis that you retain control over your goods and are responsible for arranging adequate insurance cover. We recommend that you insure items for their full replacement value against loss, theft, fire, flood, accidental damage, mildew, pests, and any other risks relevant to the nature of the goods. Unless we have expressly agreed otherwise in writing, we do not provide insurance for your stored items.

We will exercise reasonable care and skill in the operation of the storage service, but our liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. We are not responsible for loss or damage caused by events outside our reasonable control, including severe weather, power failure, fire, theft by third parties, flooding, civil disturbance, or failure of utilities, provided we have taken reasonable measures to manage such risks. We are also not liable for loss arising from your failure to pack, label, secure, or declare goods properly.

You must promptly notify us of any damage, incident, or suspected loss as soon as reasonably possible after it becomes known. Any claim should include a description of the goods, the nature of the loss, supporting evidence, and any other information reasonably requested. We will not be liable for indirect or consequential losses, including loss of profit, business interruption, or loss of opportunity, except where such exclusion is not permitted by law. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

6. Waste Regulations and Environmental Responsibilities

You must comply with all applicable waste regulations when bringing items into storage or removing them from the premises. Goods that are no longer wanted, damaged beyond use, or treated as refuse must not be abandoned in the storage area. You are responsible for ensuring that any waste you generate is properly separated, contained, and removed in accordance with legal requirements and any site instructions we provide.

If you leave waste, contaminated materials, bulky refuse, hazardous substances, or broken items at the facility without permission, we may arrange collection, treatment, recycling, or disposal at your cost. This includes any contamination, clean-up, or decontamination expenses reasonably incurred because of your actions or the condition of your goods. We may also notify the appropriate authorities where required by law.

You must not deposit items that are subject to special handling rules unless you have obtained our prior written approval and complied with all legal obligations. This includes electrical equipment, batteries, oils, chemicals, paints, and other regulated materials. If such items are accepted at our discretion, you remain responsible for accurate declaration, lawful transport, and compliant disposal. We may refuse any item that does not meet the relevant standards or that we believe could create an environmental or safety risk.

7. Customer Responsibilities

You are responsible for keeping your contact details up to date and for checking messages, invoices, or notices sent by us. If we need to make contact regarding payment, access, safety, or compliance, you must respond within a reasonable time. Failure to do so may result in delayed service, suspended access, or termination of the agreement where appropriate.

You must not permit unauthorised persons to use your access credentials, keys, codes, or passes. If these are lost, stolen, or compromised, you must tell us immediately so that security measures can be taken. Any loss resulting from failure to protect access details may be charged to you where caused by your negligence or breach of these terms. You are also responsible for ensuring that anyone acting on your behalf complies with these terms as if they were you.

Where you store high-value, sentimental, or irreplaceable goods, you should take extra care to document their condition and retain evidence of ownership and value. We may request proof of ownership where a claim, removal, or release issue arises. We are not obliged to release goods to a third party unless we are satisfied that the person is authorised to collect them and any outstanding sums have been paid.

8. Governing Law and General Provisions

These terms and any dispute or claim arising from them, whether contractual or non-contractual, are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer law provides otherwise. If you are a consumer, you may also benefit from rights that cannot be excluded or limited by contract.

If any provision of these terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision shall be treated as deleted to the minimum extent necessary, and the remainder of the terms will continue in full force. No failure or delay by us in enforcing any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of that right or remedy. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorised representative.

These terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties concerning the storage service, unless varied in writing. They supersede prior discussions, notes, or understandings relating to the same booking. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights. By proceeding with a booking for Tottenham Storage, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these service terms and conditions.
