Due to the nature of Lessor’s business and its purpose being storage, that Lessor is not representing to Tenant, in any manner, that Lessor is a “warehouseman” as such term is defined by applicable state statutes. The parties also understand and agree that any laws including, without limitation, warehouseman laws, or similar or related laws pertaining to the establishment of a bailment relationship pertaining to the deposit of goods for safekeeping shall not apply to this Rental Agreement.

STORAGE AT TENANTS’ LOCATION-Should Tenant elect not to store the Container(s) at a Facility, the Container(s) shall remain located at the address designated by Tenant on the Rental Agreement.

Lessee further acknowledges and understands that Lessor makes no assurances or guarantees regarding the time of pick-up or delivery of any Container(s).

LESSOR’S LIABILITY; INDEMNITY-Lessor will have no responsibility to Tenant or to any other person for any Loss from any cause, including, without limitation, Lessor active or passive acts, omissions, negligence or conversion, unless the Loss is directly caused by Lessor’s fraud, willful injury or willful violation of law. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from any Loss incurred by Lessor in any way arising out of Tenant’s use of the Container(s) or Facility. Tenant agrees that the Lessor’s total responsibility for any Claim shall not to exceed $5,000.

PLACEMENT OF CONTAINER-Tenant acknowledges that Lessor will normally place the Container(s) on a driveway or other paved surface immediately accessible from a street fronting Tenant’s premises. Tenant authorizes Lessor to 1) Drive on Tenant’s lawn or other non-paved area in order to place the Container(s) in the area designated by Tenant or to place the Container(s) in an area lacking adequate clearance, or 2) Drive on a paved surface. In either case Tenant assumes full risk for all damage resulting from the placement of the Container(s) and relieves Lessor from any responsibility for such damage. At the discretion of the Lessor to and only at tenants request Unit may be placed on public right of way for no more than 3 days. However, should public authorities request removal from public right of way, Tenant shall be liable for cost to move unit to alternate location. This additional cost is equal to the cost of the Trip Charge of delivery to tenant’s location. Tenant agrees that they will not relocate the Container(s) while on tenant’s property. In the event it is determined that the Container(s) has been relocated, Tenant agrees to pay an additional fee of not less than $75.00 and up to current retail value of the Container(s) plus any cost of shipping associated with the retrieval of the Container(s).

LOCAL ORDINANCES AND REGULATIONS-Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s use and placement of the Container(s) may be subject to county, city and local ordinances, rules and/or regulations including deed and homeowner restrictions and complex rules. Lessor shall not be responsible for any restrictions that may be imposed by any ordinance, rule and/or regulation and Tenant assumes full responsibility for investigating local ordinances and shall pay any fines and/or penalties, monetary or other, resulting from Tenant’s use or placement of the Container(s) in violation of such ordinances, rules and/or regulations. If an authority requires Lessor to remove the Container(s) from Tenant’s premises, Lessor will attempt to notify Tenant of such requirement; however, Tenant gives Lessor full authority to comply with such requirements, and absolves Lessor of any liability for any liability for any resulting damage to Tenant’s premises or property. Additionally, if Tenant is renting or leasing the premises where the Container(s) is located, other than property owned by Lessor, and the landlord of the premises requests that the Container(s) be removed or relocated, Tenant gives Lessor full authority to comply with the landlord’s request, and absolves Lessor of any liability for any resulting damage to Tenant’s property or the premises and shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from any claims by the landlord for damage to the premises. Tenant further understands that should the Container(s) be removed by any person other than Lessor, Tenant assumes all costs including but not limited to legal fees, removal and storage that are incurred with the Container(s) retrieval and further agrees to pay Lessor for any damages that are associated with such removal and storage of the Container(s).

ALTERATIONS- Tenant shall not make or allow any alterations of any kind or description whatsoever to the Container(s) without, in each instance, the prior written consent of the Lessor.

Tenant shall not provide Lessor or Lessor’s Agents with a key and/or combination to Tenant’s lock. All Containers must be locked prior to Lessor moving them. Tie Downs and Blankets must be provided by the tenant for protection of the TENANT’S property, neglecting to use these items will most likely result in damages that Lessor will not be liable for.

Tenant personally assumes all risk of loss, including damage to or theft of Tenant’s property due to burglary, mysterious disappearance, fire, water, rodent damage, earthquakes, acts of God, vandalism, mold or mildew or other vermin in the event Container is stored on Lessee’s property.

In the event the mobile unit is stored in the warehouse of Lessor, and/or its authorized representatives (“Lessor’s Agents”), the Lessor shall assume responsibility for loss arising from specified named perils (such as fire, wind, hail, smoke, collapse of building, burglary). Tenant may choose to obtain supplemental insurance from their own homeowner or renter’s carrier or Tenant may elect to be “self insured.” In the event Tenant does not obtain insurance , the Tenant assumes all responsibility for specified loss; With the exception of liability for named perils specifically assumed by contract, Tenant hereby releases Lessor from any responsibility for any loss, liability, claim, expense, damage to property or injury to persons (“Loss”) that could have been insured against including, without limitation, any Loss arising from the active or passive acts, omission or negligence of Lessor (“Claims”). Tenant waives any rights of recovery against Lessor for any Claims, and Tenant expressly agrees that the carrier of any insurance obtained by Tenant shall not be subrogated to any claim of Tenant against Lessor; although Lessor may share information about the insurance policy purchased by the Lessor, Tenant understands that Lessor is not an insurance company or insurance agent. Lessor has not explained any coverage or assisted Tenant in making any decision to purchase any particular insurance policy.

Tenant shall store only personal property that Tenant owns and will not store property that is claimed by another or in which another has any right, title or interest. Tenant agrees that if the aggregate value of all personal property stored in the Container exceeds or is deemed to exceed $5,000, it is Tenant’s responsibility to adequately insure the stored property.
