By booking, paying for, or moving into a storage unit or storage space with us, you accept these Terms & Conditions. This agreement is a licence to store goods. It is not a lease or tenancy of land or buildings.

• Registered company: MW BH LTD, trading as Box Yard
• Company number: 17226005
• Registered office: Aberdeen House, South Road, Haywards Heath, England, RH16 4NG
• Facility address: 61 Victoria Road, Burgess Hill, RH15 9LH
• VAT number: GB 522 670 603

This summary is for convenience only. The full terms below apply in all cases.

• This agreement is a storage licence, not a lease or tenancy.
• Either party may end the agreement by giving notice as set out in these terms.
• Storage fees are payable in advance.
• You are responsible for packing, securing, and insuring your goods.
• Our liability is limited as set out in these terms. [Liability limit per claim: to be confirmed]
• You must maintain insurance for the full replacement value of your goods.

We grant you a non-exclusive licence to store goods only in the unit or space allocated to you at our facility. Unit and space sizes are approximate. You must not store goods outside your allocated unit or space without our prior written agreement.

Nothing in this agreement creates a lease, tenancy, or any right to exclusive possession of land or buildings.

Storage fees are payable in advance for each billing period. Prices are shown exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise. VAT applies at the prevailing rate. Our VAT number is GB 522 670 603.

If you fail to pay fees when due, we may charge reasonable costs of chasing payment and enforcing these terms. Late payment may also lead to restriction of access and the enforcement steps described in the Default section.

The current fee schedule is set out in section 15 (Fee Schedule).

A deposit equal to one month's rent for the relevant unit, excluding VAT is payable. The deposit is refundable after termination of this agreement, less any deductions we are entitled to make for unpaid fees, cleaning, damage, missing keys, or other sums owed under these terms.

If fees remain unpaid after they fall due, or if you otherwise breach these terms and fail to remedy the breach when required, we may treat you as in default.

In the event of default, we have a lien over the goods stored in your unit or space. After giving you reasonable written notice requiring payment or collection of the goods, we may sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the goods in a commercially reasonable manner.

Sale proceeds will be applied first to our costs of sale and enforcement, then to outstanding fees and other sums owed to us. Any surplus will be held for you. If sale proceeds are insufficient, you remain liable for the balance.

This clause is subject to applicable law. Nothing in this section limits any rights or remedies available to us at law or in equity.

Access to the facility is available Mon - Sun, 24 hours, subject to these terms, site rules, and any temporary restrictions we notify for safety, maintenance, or security reasons.

Only you and people you authorise in writing (or as otherwise agreed by us) may access your unit or space. You must keep access codes, keys, and entry details confidential and must not share them with unauthorised people.

We may refuse or suspend access where fees are owed, where we reasonably believe safety or security is at risk, or where access would breach law or these terms.

Your unit or space may be used only for storage of goods that you own or are authorised to store. You must not use the unit or space as a workshop, office, dwelling, or for any activity other than storage without our prior written consent.

You must not store any of the following:

• Hazardous, toxic, or environmentally harmful materials
• Flammable or explosive substances
• Illegal goods or goods obtained unlawfully
• Perishable food or other goods likely to attract pests
• Living creatures
• Any other goods that we reasonably consider unsuitable for storage at the facility

You must keep your unit or space clean and tidy during the licence and return it in a clean, empty, and undamaged condition (fair wear and tear excepted) when the agreement ends.

If the unit or space is left in an unacceptable condition, a Cleaning Fee of £100 will apply, in addition to any costs of repairing damage caused by you or your guests.

Goods are stored at your sole risk. You are responsible for packing, securing, and protecting your goods appropriately. You must maintain insurance for the full replacement value of all goods stored with us for the entire period of storage.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability arising out of or in connection with this agreement is limited. [Liability limit per claim: to be confirmed]

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

We process personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, UK GDPR, and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Notices under this agreement may be given by email to the addresses each party has provided, by hand, or by prepaid post to the addresses set out in the booking or our registered office. Notices are deemed received on the day of hand delivery, on the next working day for email sent on a working day before 5pm (otherwise on the next working day), or two working days after posting within the UK.

Either party may terminate this agreement by giving at least 14 days' written notice, unless a different notice period is agreed in writing for your booking.

On termination you must remove all goods, return keys or access devices, and leave the unit or space clean and empty. All outstanding fees and charges become immediately due. We may continue to charge storage fees until the unit or space is cleared and keys or access devices are returned.

These Terms & Conditions, together with your booking details and any written variations we agree, form the entire agreement between you and us and replace any prior discussions or representations about the storage arrangement.

If any provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under this agreement without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights where reasonably necessary for business transfer or financing.

A person who is not a party to this agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of it.

The following fees apply unless a different amount is confirmed in writing for your booking:

• Deposit: one month's rent for the relevant unit, excluding VAT
• Cleaning Fee: £100, only payable if the unit is left in an unacceptable condition
• Key Deposit: £50
• Additional access fees: None / not applicable

Storage rental fees for your allocated unit or space are as quoted at booking and confirmed on your agreement or invoice, plus VAT.

These Terms & Conditions and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to the following.

Before starting court proceedings, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute through mediation. Either party may propose mediation, and both parties will consider any reasonable mediation proposal.
