Edmonton Storage Service Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Edmonton Storage provides storage services in the UK. By making a booking, placing goods into storage, or otherwise using the service, the customer agrees to be bound by the terms below. Please read them carefully before confirming any reservation or delivering items for storage.

The purpose of these terms is to create a clear agreement between the customer and the service provider. They explain how bookings are made, how charges are applied, when cancellations may be made, what liability is accepted or excluded, and how stored items must comply with applicable waste and environmental rules. The customer is responsible for ensuring that all information provided is accurate and complete.

For the avoidance of doubt, these terms apply to all storage arrangements offered under the Edmonton Storage service, whether the booking is short-term or longer-term. These provisions form part of the contract and should be read together with any booking confirmation, invoice, or written notice issued in connection with the service.

1. Booking Process

A booking is only considered confirmed once the customer has provided the required details, accepted these Terms and Conditions, and received written confirmation from Edmonton Storage. The booking process may require information such as the customer’s name, address, contact details, item description, preferred storage period, and any special handling requirements.

Edmonton Storage may ask the customer to confirm the nature, value, size, and condition of the items to be stored. This is necessary to assess suitability, pricing, and any restrictions that may apply. The service provider reserves the right to refuse a booking if the goods are unsuitable, hazardous, unlawful, excessively valuable without prior disclosure, or likely to create a risk to other stored items or the premises.

All bookings are subject to availability. A requested date or unit size is not guaranteed until confirmed in writing. The customer must ensure that the goods delivered match the description provided during the booking process. If there is a material difference, Edmonton Storage may amend the booking, apply additional charges, or decline to store the items.

Where the service includes collection, delivery, or transfer of goods, the customer must ensure that access is safe and that any instructions given are accurate. Delays caused by incorrect information, missed access arrangements, or failure to prepare items appropriately may result in additional fees. The customer accepts responsibility for any costs incurred due to inaccurate booking details.

Edmonton Storage may require proof of identity, ownership, authority to store, or other verification before accepting goods. If the booking is made on behalf of another person or organisation, the person placing the booking warrants that they have authority to do so and to accept these terms on that person’s behalf.

2. Charges and Payment

All charges will be set out in the booking confirmation, quotation, price list, or invoice, as applicable. Unless expressly stated otherwise, prices are exclusive of any applicable taxes, administrative fees, insurance premiums, or additional service charges. The customer should review all fees before confirming the booking.

Payment terms may require full payment in advance, recurring payment at regular intervals, or settlement by a stated due date. Edmonton Storage may refuse access to stored goods, suspend services, or terminate the agreement if payment is overdue. Any outstanding balance may continue to accrue until paid in full. The customer remains liable for all amounts due, even if the goods are no longer wanted or are collected late.

If the customer fails to make payment on time, Edmonton Storage may charge reasonable costs incurred in recovering the debt, including administrative costs and any lawful interest or collection expenses. Late payment does not affect the validity of the agreement, and the provider may continue to hold goods, subject to any statutory rights and remedies available.

Any quoted price may be revised if the customer changes the storage requirements, adds services, stores goods beyond the agreed period, or provides incorrect information affecting the price. A revised quotation may also apply where the customer requests additional handling, access arrangements, packaging, or disposal services.

3. Cancellations and Termination

The customer may cancel a booking before the goods are delivered into storage, subject to any cancellation terms stated in the booking confirmation. If the service has already begun, cancellation may not entitle the customer to a full refund. Any non-refundable deposit, administration charge, or minimum period charge may be retained where permitted by law and by the agreed service terms.

Edmonton Storage may cancel or suspend the booking if the customer breaches these terms, provides false or misleading information, fails to pay, or attempts to store prohibited goods. The service may also be ended if continuing to store the goods would create a safety, legal, environmental, or operational risk. In such cases, the customer may be required to remove the items immediately or by a stated deadline.

Where termination takes place because of the customer’s breach, all sums due up to the date of termination remain payable. If the customer does not collect goods after termination, the provider may apply storage, handling, or disposal charges, and may exercise any rights it has in respect of uncollected items, subject always to applicable law.

If the customer wishes to end the service early, written notice may be required. The customer must make arrangements to remove all goods by the agreed end date. Any goods left behind after termination or expiry of the booking may be treated as abandoned only where permitted by law and after reasonable notice has been given.

4. Customer Responsibilities

The customer must ensure that all goods supplied for storage are properly packed, labelled, and prepared for safe handling unless the service expressly includes packing or preparation. Fragile, perishable, flammable, odorous, leaking, or unstable items must not be delivered unless they have been expressly approved in writing.

The customer is responsible for accurately identifying the contents of each item or package and for advising Edmonton Storage of any special conditions, risks, or care requirements. If the customer fails to do so, the provider will not be liable for damage resulting from inadequate packing, concealed defects, or the inherent nature of the item.

The customer must not use the storage service for unlawful purposes, including the concealment, disposal, or transfer of goods that are stolen, counterfeit, unsafe, or prohibited by law. The customer must comply with all applicable legislation relating to ownership, storage, transport, packaging, environmental protection, and the movement of goods.

Access to stored items may be limited to the customer or an authorised person, subject to proof of identity and any access procedures in force. Edmonton Storage may decline access where there is uncertainty about authority, safety, payment status, or the integrity of the stored goods. Any person acting for the customer is treated as the customer’s authorised representative unless the provider is told otherwise in writing.

5. Liability

Edmonton Storage will exercise reasonable care and skill in providing the service, but liability is limited to the extent permitted by UK law. The provider does not accept liability for loss or damage caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including fire, flood, theft by third parties, adverse weather, power failure, industrial action, or acts of public authorities.

The provider is not responsible for loss, deterioration, or damage arising from the customer’s own act or omission, including inadequate packing, incorrect labelling, undeclared fragility, natural wear and tear, infestation, mould, corrosion, or inherent vice. Nor is it liable for indirect or consequential losses such as loss of profit, business interruption, loss of opportunity, or reputational harm, except where such exclusion is not allowed by law.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded under UK law. If liability is found to arise, any recovery may be capped at the amount paid by the customer for the relevant service, unless a higher amount is required by law or specifically agreed in writing.

The customer is encouraged to maintain appropriate insurance for the goods while in storage, especially where items are of high value, sentimental importance, or susceptible to damage. Any insurance arranged by Edmonton Storage will be subject to its own policy terms, exclusions, and valuation limits, and does not create a wider duty than that expressly stated in those terms.

6. Waste Regulations and Prohibited Materials

Edmonton Storage operates in compliance with applicable UK waste and environmental regulations. The service must not be used to deposit waste unlawfully, store fly-tipped materials, abandon rubbish, or transfer responsibility for waste in a manner that breaches environmental law. Customers must ensure that any material delivered is intended for lawful storage and not disposal, unless a waste-handling service has been expressly agreed.

The customer must not store hazardous waste, clinical waste, asbestos, oils, chemicals, solvents, pressurised containers, batteries, gas cylinders, radioactive material, or other regulated substances unless the provider has explicitly accepted them in writing and all legal requirements are met. Illegal or hazardous items may be refused, removed, reported, or disposed of where permitted by law and at the customer’s expense.

If items are found to be contaminated, leaking, infested, odorous, or otherwise harmful to health, property, or the environment, Edmonton Storage may take any reasonable action necessary to protect people and premises. This may include isolation, specialist handling, cleaning, disposal, or notification to the relevant authorities. All related costs, penalties, or cleanup expenses may be charged to the customer where the customer is responsible for the issue.

Where disposal or waste transfer forms part of the service, the customer must provide accurate descriptions and complete any required declarations. The customer warrants that all information about the items is true and that the items are not misdescribed to avoid lawful disposal requirements. Any breach of waste regulations by the customer may result in immediate termination of service and recovery of associated costs.

7. Insurance, Risk, and Storage Conditions

Risk in the goods may pass to the customer at the time specified in the booking confirmation or, if no such time is stated, when the goods are delivered into storage. The provider is not responsible for loss or damage arising after the customer has failed to collect or remove items by the agreed date, unless the law requires otherwise.

Stored goods must be capable of being safely held under ordinary storage conditions. The provider does not guarantee protection against temperature fluctuations, humidity, condensation, dust, or other environmental conditions unless a controlled environment has been expressly agreed in writing. The customer is responsible for ensuring that items are suitable for the storage environment selected.

Any declaration of value made by the customer must be honest and complete. Overvaluation, undervaluation, or failure to disclose the true value of goods may affect any compensation assessment, insurance arrangement, or risk allocation. The provider may require evidence of value before accepting certain items.

8. General Provisions

Edmonton Storage may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. The version applicable to a booking will be the version in force when the booking was confirmed, unless a later change is required by law or expressly agreed by both parties. If any provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force.

No waiver of any breach shall operate as a waiver of any later breach. Any delay or failure by Edmonton Storage to enforce a right does not prevent it from enforcing that right later. The customer may not assign or transfer rights under the agreement without prior written consent, except where required by law.

These terms, together with the booking confirmation and any written amendments, represent the entire agreement between the parties regarding the storage service. Any verbal statements or informal assurances are not binding unless confirmed in writing by an authorised representative of Edmonton Storage.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions and any non-contractual obligations arising from or connected with them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, claim, or matter arising from or relating to the service, subject to any mandatory rights available to consumers under applicable law.

The parties agree that any dispute should first be addressed through good-faith communication and reasonable attempts to resolve the issue before formal proceedings are commenced. However, nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent relief where necessary to protect rights, property, or safety.

By using the Edmonton Storage service, the customer confirms that they have read, understood, and accepted these Terms and Conditions in full. The customer also confirms that they are authorised to place the goods into storage and that all information provided in connection with the booking is true and accurate to the best of their knowledge.
