You shall be responsible for all resulting costs, expenses and losses incurred by us and shall pay such amounts to us on demand.
7. OUR RIGHT TO ACCESS, INSPECT OR MOVE YOUR ITEMS
Your privacy is important to us, and we do not intend to investigate, inspect, or open any Storage Items at any time while the Storage Items are being collected, stored with us, or delivered. However, we or any of our contractors may open or investigate any Storage Items and their contents at any time, without incurring any liability to you, if:
a. we reasonably believe that the Storage Items contain any of the Prohibited Storage Items outlined in Section 6;
b. we are required to do so by any law, court order or competent authority, including the police or fire services (such as a search warrant);
c. it is necessary to do so to prevent damage or injury to persons or property; and/or
d. we reasonably believe that inappropriate packing materials have been used to package the Storage Items to such extent that we believe damage may occur to the Storage Items.
After picking up your Storage Items, we will store your Storage Items at a YYC Storage facility; however, you acknowledge and agree that at any time while you are storing Storage Items, we shall have the right, at our sole discretion, to move your Storage Items to another YYC Storage facility in the City of Calgary or to move Storage Items as needed within a facility. Any decision by us to move your items will not affect your financial obligations to us during the course of your time storing with us or our obligations to return your items upon request.
8. RESTRICTIONS ON YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES
You must not:
a. use the Services or our site except as expressly permitted by the Agreement;
b. use or interact with the Services in any unlawful or fraudulent way or for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose;
c. disrupt, damage or interfere with the Services or our site in any way; or
d. offer in any manner, sub-license or re-sell the Services, use of or access to the Services, to a third party, for any reason whatsoever without our prior written consent.
You acknowledge that any YYC Storage Boxes or other materials provided by us to you are our property, and shall be used by you only for the purpose of using the Services in accordance with this Agreement and any Order. Nothing in this Agreement, nor any representation made by any of our representatives, will have the effect of transferring ownership of any of these materials to you or any other third party without our explicit written consent. You acknowledge that you may face additional charges as detailed in Section 10 (Additional Fees and Penalties) for lost, stolen or damaged materials provided by us to you.
9. PAYMENT AND CHARGES
The charges for the Services are set out when you place an order (the “Order”) based on either the number and type of Storage Items you elect to store with us (in the case of our Item Plans) or the aggregate storage space you anticipate your items will require (in the case of our Space Plans).
Item Plans. Your monthly charges are based on the number of boxes or unboxed items you choose to store with us. If, on arrival of the delivery driver pursuant to your Order, you elect to store more or less Storage Items than the number specified in your Order, the charges will be amended accordingly based on the type of items/boxes you want to store and a receipt confirming the same will be sent to you within a reasonable period following the pickup of your Storage Items.
Space Plans. Our Space Plans are a fixed monthly rate for a certain amount of space, with such space (including total cubic feet) specified on our website or by one of our customer service representatives (for example, our 5’x5’ unit plan includes 125 cubic feet of storage space). When you place an Order, either online or with one of our customer service representatives, you will select a plan (or we can create a custom plan for you if none of the available options suit your needs) for the space you anticipate your Storage Items will occupy in our facility. When we arrive to pick up your Storage Items, we will endeavour to inform you if we believe your Storage Items will require a smaller or larger plan than you have requested. However, given the challenges of estimating space requirements prior to stacking/arranging items as appropriate, we may contact you once your Storage Items have been processed to inform you if you require either a smaller or larger space plan. If you elect to store additional items with us and exceed the space provided within your plan, we will automatically upgrade your plan to the required amount of space. Similarly, if you request delivery of certain items and you would be eligible for a smaller plan, we will automatically downgrade your plan to the required amount of space. In each case, this upgrade or downgrade is effective on your next Monthly Fee. Unused space in your plan has no cash value.
Monthly Fees. Your use of the Services is on a rolling monthly basis, with charges for the Services payable by credit card in advance as follows:
a. charges for the first month’s storage will be payable on the date on which your Storage Items, having been collected pursuant to an Order, are received by our driver (the “Initial Payment Date”);
b. thereafter, charges for subsequent months' storage will be payable in advance on the day of each month that corresponds to the Initial Payment Date (in other words, you will pay us once each month based on your Initial Payment Date), provided that, if there is no such corresponding day, the corresponding day shall be deemed to be the last day of each month; and
c. in the event you place an Order for which we have provided you with YYC Storage Boxes, we will deem the Initial Payment Date to begin on the earlier of (a) above, or two (2) weeks following your receipt of the boxes.
Pickup Fees.
a. For Item Plans, no Pickup Fee applies;
b. For Space Plans, a Pickup Fee of $79.00 per hour plus GST applies, which includes an hour of loading from two YYC Storage drivers as well as transport of your Storage Items to our facility. There is an additional $79.00 fee on each pickup within our serviced postal codes to account for travel time. This fee is payable with your first monthly fee once your items have been securely stored. We may from time to time, at our sole discretion, waive or discount this fee, but we are under no obligation to do so.
Delivery Fees. If you request that we return any or all of your Storage Items (a “Return Request”), we will charge you a fee. This fee is payable on the date that you receive the Storage Items.
a. For Item Plans, a Delivery Fee of $25.00 plus GST applies;
b. For Space Plans, a Delivery Fee of $79.00 per hour plus GST applies, which includes an hour of unloading from two YYC Storage drivers as well as transport of your Storage Items from our facility. There is an additional $79.00 fee for each delivery within our service area to account for travel time. We may amend or waive this fee at our discretion, particularly in the case where you have requested delivery of a limited number of items but remain a customer, but we are under no obligation to do so.
Tax. All charges are inclusive of Tax. If the rate of Tax changes, we may adjust the Tax you pay on the charges, such adjustment becoming effective as from the effective date of the change in the rate of Tax.
Amendments. We may review and amend our monthly charges from time to time, with such amended charges:
a. taking effect immediately in respect of new Orders; and
b. to apply after you have been notified by email (to the email address specified in your Customer Account) at least 14 days prior to your following monthly bill in respect of existing Orders, and shall take effect from that monthly bill. If you do not agree to any amended charges you may terminate this Agreement within such 14 day period.
You shall pay all amounts due under the Order in full without any deduction or withholding except as required by law and you shall not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against us in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part. We may, without limiting our other rights or remedies, set off any amount owing to us by you against any amount payable by us to you.
10. ADDITIONAL FEES AND PENALTIES
In addition to the charges specified in Section 9 (Payment and Charges), we may charge reasonable additional fees if any of the following events take place:
a. Late or Failed Payment. If, on the third attempt to bill the credit card you provided in the Registration process, we cannot successfully authorize a payment, we may charge a late or failed payment fee in the amount of $25. Although it is your responsibility to ensure your credit card information on file is up to date at all times, we will endeavour to contact you after the first failed payment to remedy the situation;
b. Stolen or Damaged Box. If, while in your possession, a YYC Storage Box is substantially damaged or lost, we may charge a stolen or damaged box fee of $30 per stolen or damaged box;
c. Unreturned Box. If, after we receive a Return Request for a previously stored YYC Storage Box, you do not schedule a time for us to pick up or re-store the empty boxes within two (2) weeks of receiving your Storage Items, we may charge an unreturned box fee of $30 per unreturned box.
d. Missed Appointment. If we attempt to make a delivery or pickup and you do not provide more than two hour’s notice and are not available to receive the delivery or pickup, we may charge a missed appointment of $25 for Item Plans and a missed appointment fee equal to the fee that would have been charged under your Space Plan if the delivery was completed.
e. Additional Pickup or Delivery Fees. We may charge an additional fee for certain pickups or deliveries, such situations including but not limited to: a) order requires more than an hour of labour from two YYC Storage drivers; b) order has items which require special equipment or more than two YYC Storage drivers to safely pick up or deliver; c) you require disassembly or packing assistance; d) you do not have an elevator and your pickup requires that we transport your goods up or down more than two floors.
We may, at our sole discretion and with respect to specific situations, waive or reduce any of the above fees, but we are under no obligation to do so. We will endeavour to resolve any of the above situations with you directly prior to charging any fees.
11. FAILURE TO PAY
In the event that you do not promptly pay all sums (including interest) owing from you to us when payable (“Debt”), the Warehouse Receipts Act (Alberta) and the Warehousemen’s Lien Act (Alberta) generally provide us with the right to exercise a lien over the Storage Items for the Debt until payment of the Debt in full has been received by us (the “Lien”).
After we exercise the Lien:
a. you shall pay us fees and charges at the same rates as under these Terms and, if the Agreement has been terminated, the relevant rate at which such fees and charges will be payable by you shall be the rate which was payable immediately prior to termination; and
b. in default of the prompt payment of the Debt, you authorize us:
i. to access and inspect the Storage Items; and
ii. to hold onto and/or ultimately dispose of some or all of the Storage Items in accordance with this Section 11 (Failure to Pay).
In the event that the Debt is not paid after its due date for payment, we shall be afforded with the general right, in accordance with the applicable legislation, to do the following:
a. sell the Storage Items and transfer all ownership to the Storage Items to the purchaser of the Storage Items in accordance with applicable legislation;
i. before we sell the Storage Items, we shall give you notice in writing (provided in accordance with Section 21 (Notices)) of, among other things, the amount of the Debt at the date of the notice;
ii. we may use the proceeds of sale to pay the costs incurred by us in selling the Storage Items, paying the Debt, paying other lien claimants, paying each claimant with a perfected security interest in the Storage Items, and to hold any balance for you (with no interest accruing to you on the balance), such balance (if any) to be returned you following the sale of the Storage Items;
iii. if the proceeds of sale are insufficient to discharge all or any part of the costs of sale incurred by us and the Debt, you must pay any balance outstanding to us within seven (7) days of a written demand from us, which shall set out the balance remaining due to us after the net proceeds of sale have been credited to you. Interest will continue to accrue on the Debt until payment has been made;
iv. we may sell the Storage Items by any method(s) reasonably available to achieve a selling price reasonably obtainable in the open market, taking into account the costs of sale; or
b. retain the items in lieu of a sale in full and final satisfaction of the Debt.
If the Storage Items cannot reasonably and economically be sold as set forth above (for any reason whatsoever) or they remain unsold despite our efforts for a period exceeding that required under applicable legislation, you authorize us to treat them as abandoned by you and to either retain the Storage Items in full and final satisfaction of the Debt or gift them to a charity of our choice.
You will pay our reasonable costs incurred in administering the Debt collection and sale process described in this Section 11. These costs will include (without limitation) auction costs, removal costs, cleaning costs and charges for our own time.
Without limiting any of our other rights or remedies, if you fail to pay any of the charges due to us by you under this Agreement within 15 days of their due date for payment, such outstanding amounts shall incur interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate of our bankers plus 3%, calculated from the date that payment became due up to and including the date that payment is made of both the outstanding amounts and any interest accrued thereon.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
We will endeavour to transport and store your items with commercially reasonable care and skill, and to maintain appropriate climate control, cleanliness, and mold and pest control initiatives in our facility. By using our services, you acknowledge and understand that your Storage Items will be moved from time to time and must be packed appropriately for transport and storage.
You acknowledge that we are not aware of the value of the Storage Items, and we recommend that you arrange insurance to cover the Storage Items. You must inspect the Storage Items following the return of the Storage Items from our storage facility and, if you believe that the Storage Items are lost or damaged in any way, you must promptly inform us about such loss or damage as soon as reasonably possible, and we reserve the right to inspect and take pictures of any alleged damage to any Storage Items before you make a claim in relation to such Storage Items, whether such claim is to us or a third party insurer.
By executing this Agreement and using the Services you are agreeing that in the event an Storage Item is damaged or goes missing, our liability for each Storage Item will be limited to C$250 (the “per-Storage Item Limit”), and our total liability will be limited in the aggregate of C$2,500 for all Storage Items stored with us (the “Aggregate Limit”). We may, from time to time and at our sole discretion, offer you the option to increase the limitation of liability on your Storage Items. If you wish to inquire about an increase the limitation of liability on your Storage Items, please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
If you store Storage Items with us worth more than the per-Storage Item Limit and Aggregate Limit, you do so at your own risk. You may be covered under your existing renter’s insurance or homeowner’s insurance (we advise that you check prior to using the Services), and you may also buy your own insurance for your Storage Items. Certain credit cards may offer supplemental insurance in certain circumstances.
We shall not be liable to you for any loss, mis-delivery of and/or damage to any Storage Items as a result of:
a. any seizure or forfeiture under legal process;
b. any act, omission, misstatement or misrepresentation by you or your servants or agents;
c. any inherent vulnerability to wastage in bulk or weight, defect or inherent defect, natural deterioration or fragility of the Storage Items (even if marked “ Fragile”);
d. insufficient or improper packing; or
e. incorrect labeling through your Customer Account.
If you are a consumer:
a. we only supply the Services to you for your domestic and private use and you agree not to use the Services for any commercial, business or re-sale purposes, and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity;
b. if we fail to comply with the Agreement, we are responsible (subject to subsection (c) immediately below) for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of the Agreement or our negligence, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if they were an obvious consequence of our breach or if they were contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into the Agreement; and
c. our total liability in respect of the Storage Items, the Services or any breach of this Agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, including loss or damage during collection, storage or return, shall not in any event exceed the lower of:
i. the cost price of the lost or damaged Storage Items;
ii. the current replacement cost of the Storage Items; or
iii. the per-Storage Item limit (or in respect of each Storage Item),
provided that the total liability shall not, in any event, exceed the Aggregate Limit.
If you are a business:
a. We will under no circumstances whatsoever be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, arising under or in connection with the Agreement for (i) any loss of profits, sales, business, or revenue; (ii) loss or corruption of data, information or software; (iii) loss of business opportunity; (iv) loss of anticipated savings; (v) loss of goodwill; or (vi) any indirect or consequential loss;
b. Our total liability to you in respect of all other losses arising under or in connection with the Agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall in no circumstances exceed the lower of: (i) C$250; or (ii) 100% of the charges payable under the Order, provided that the total liability shall not, in any event, exceed the Aggregate Limit; and
c. you shall indemnify us and keep us indemnified for any and all losses resulting from all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses incurred by us or by any of our contractors, carriers, agents, employees or affiliates which arise out of your use of the Services or your breach of this Agreement.
In the event of any claim, we shall be entitled to require proof of the cost price and the current replacement cost of the Storage Items.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for:
a. death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
b. fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
c. any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.
Except as set out in this Agreement, all warranties, conditions and other terms implied by statute or common law are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Agreement. In particular, we will not be responsible for ensuring that the Services are suitable for your purposes.
This Section 12 (Limitation of Liability) shall survive termination of the Agreement.
13. INSURANCE AND WAIVER OF SUBROGATION
We do not maintain any insurance on your personal property that you can make a claim under. Insurance that applies above the limit of our liability (or when we are not liable) is your sole responsibility. You have the option of obtaining your own personal coverage for your Storage Items stored with us, and if you do not do so, you understand that we will not be liable beyond the amounts and conditions in these Terms.
Any insurance carried by us or you is for the sole benefit of the party carrying the insurance. Each party waives its right to make any claim against the other for loss or damage in the event of casualty and will cause its respective insurance policies to be endorsed so as to waive that right of their respective insurers. You expressly agree that the carrier of any insurance obtained by you shall not be subrogated to any claim of you against us.
