    • to recover any amounts due by you to us under the Agreement; and/or
    • If you fail to make payment on your agreed payment date, we have the right to over-lock your unit and this may incur a 25% late payment charge.
    • if you fail to remove all or any items from the Storage Space within 7 days of termination of the Licence.
15. Where we wish to exercise our right to sell any property stored in the Storage Space under paragraph 14 above, we may only do so if we have given you at least 1 months' notice that we intend to do so. If we sell any of your property and the proceeds from the sale are greater than the amount owed by you to us, we will pay you any excess amount after deducting the cost of selling the property and any storage costs that we have incurred. We will use our reasonable endeavours to obtain the best price available in the circumstances for the property to be sold. It is important to note that:
    • Your goods are generally much more valuable to you than they are likely to be on sale to third parties. The best price we can reasonably achieve for your goods is therefore likely to represent far less than the value they represent to you. You are therefore urged in the strongest terms to ensure strict compliance with the Agreement.
    • We have neither the facilities nor expertise to sort, value or lot your goods and in consequence, if we exercise this right we will where practicable arrange for all your goods to be sold and removed in one job lot.
16. If, having used our best endeavours, we are unable to locate you within 1 months of any payment being due to you under paragraph 15 above, we shall be entitled to retain the proceeds of sale for our own account.

19. We do not insure your goods, and nor do we accept any responsibility for them. We strongly advise you to check your own household or other policy and/or seek specific cover for them. Without prejudice to that, however, if your goods are lost or damaged as a result of our negligence, we will pay up to £100.00 regardless of unit size. Note that we will not be liable for damage resulting from your failure to regularly inspect the storage space.
