Summary of our Self Storage Insurance Policy

If you ask us to accept responsibility for insuring your goods under our own insurance policy the insurance conditions
set out below will apply. Please note that we cannot accept responsibility for insuring your goods unless you have
provided us with a written declaration of values. If you do not provide a written declaration of values then our liability for
loss or damage to your effects is limited by our trading conditions, which forms part of our contract with you.

For your information our insurance has been arranged with AXA Insurance UK plc and a copy of the policy wording
may be inspected at our office upon request.
Please note that this insurance has been arranged solely in the name of our company. As our customer you will
have no enforceable rights under our insurance policy.

Cover
Your property is covered from the time it is placed into the storage unit until the time it is finally removed from storage
for loss or damage as a result of the following Insured Perils:
Fire, Lightning, Aircraft, Explosion, Earthquake, Riot, Strike, Civil Commotion, Malicious Damage, Storm, Flood, Water
Ingress, bursting and/or leaking pipes, Escape of Water from fixed installations, Impact by Vehicles of any kind, Theft
(following forcible or violent entry to or exit from the building or unit).

Goods in Transit Extension
It is hereby noted and agreed that no cover is provided for the mobile self storage trailers, units or their contents whilst
stored at the customers’ premises.
Cover will only commence once the Insured collects the trailer from the customers’ premises for transportation to the
storage facility. During transit between the customers’ premises and the storage facility cover will be subject to a
£35,000 vehicle limit and the following exclusions: –
– The policy shall exclude cover in respect of the breakage, scratching, denting, chipping, staining and tearing of
owner-packed effects, including trunks, suitcases and the like unless reasonably attributable to physical
damage to such items caused by the collision or overturning of the conveying road vehicle;
– The policy shall exclude claims for missing items where the effects were packed by the owner;
– The policy shall exclude claims for theft or attempted theft unless there is evidence of forcible and/or violent
entry to or exit from the vehicle and/or storage container/trailer.

Sum Insured
The collective value of your property as declared to us in writing by you. When calculating an appropriate sum insured,
please refer to the Basis of Claims Settlement and the Average Condition in this document.

Basis of Claim Settlement
This insurance will accept claims on a losses discovered basis, that is to say any loss discovered during the period of
this insurance. This will not affect any rights the Insurer may have to affect recovery of such losses discovered.
Insurers will take into consideration the age, quality, degree of use and consequent market value of items when
calculating the settlement. Please note that no property shall be abandoned to insurers, but insurers reserve the right
to claim appropriate salvage on any property which is the subject of a claim settlement under this policy.
In respect of claims for loss of or damage to documents, settlement shall be limited to the sum insured declared by you.
The basis of settlement will be to indemnify you for reasonable costs of printing and/or reconstruction including, where
applicable, fresh research or exploration to obtain essential information.

Average Condition
If your goods in storage (for which we have accepted responsibility for insuring under our policy) are, at the time of loss
or damage, collectively of greater value than the value you declared then you shall only be entitled to recover from our
insurers the same proportion of the loss as the declared value of your goods bears to the actual value of your goods.

Pairs & Sets

Where any item consists of items in a pair or set, our insurers will pay for individual damaged items but not for
undamaged companion pieces. If the individual items cannot be repaired or a replacement found then our insurers will
also pay up to 50% towards the undamaged part of the set.

Depreciation
Our insurer’s liability is limited to the reasonable cost of repair and no claim will be considered in respect of any
depreciation in value of any item as a result of such repair.

Dual insurance
If any loss or damage occurring under our policy is covered by any other insurance at the time of such loss or damage
our insurers will not pay more than their share.

Fraud
If any claims are made where the person making the claim knows the same to be false or fraudulent as regard to the
amount or otherwise, our insurers shall have the right to forfeit your claim.

Time Limits for Claim Notification
All claims must be notified to us immediately upon discovery of loss or damage to your property or at the time that your
property is moved out of storage whichever occurs first and you must confirm the same in writing within 7 days of
discovery of the loss or damage.

Excess
In line with the policy conditions, our insurers do not accept responsibility for the first £50.00 of every claim for loss or
damage covered by our insurance.

Applicable law
The Terms and Conditions of our insurance policy are subject to the Law of England and Wales.

Exclusions
There are various exclusions under our standard policy terms and conditions, amongst which are:-
A) Loss or damage to cars or other motor vehicles including motor cycles and mopeds, caravans, boats and/or
trailers.
B) Loss or damage due to mechanical, electrical or electronic derangement unless shown to be as a direct result
of physical external damage to the item concerned or as a result of an Insured Peril.
C) Loss or damage to jewellery, watches, trinkets, precious stones, precious metals, coins, money, deeds, bonds,
securities and stamps or collections of similar kind.

aerosols, paints, firearms and ammunition.

Example
– Actual value of your goods is £20,000, but you declare a value to us for your goods of £10,000.
– You have therefore undervalued your goods by 50% which entitles our insurers to reduce any settlement of
a claim we make under our policy on your behalf by the same proportion.
– A claim presented by you to us at £5,000 would be offered settlement by our insurers at £2,500.

H) Theft or attempted theft which does not involve entry to or exit from the storage premises and/or storage unit
by forcible and/or violent means.
