Agreement between User and University Storage
Welcome to University Storage. The University Storage website (the "Site") is comprised of various web pages operated by University Storage Services LLC. ("University Storage"). University Storage is offered to you conditioned on your acceptance without modification of the terms, conditions, and notices contained herein (the "Terms"). Your use of University Storage constitutes your agreement to all such Terms. Please read these terms carefully, and keep a copy of them for your reference.
Services
University Storage provides storage, and shipping services to university students.
Access To Residence Halls
University Storage follows and adheres to all terms and conditions of university housing policies as well as Professional Services Agreements with universities. Depending on the service you sign up for, there may be additional requirements to let us into the building or room.
Liability with your items is not transferred to University Storage until a University Storage employee has picked up your items and you have completed the checkout process. You'll have completed the checkout process once your payment method has been charged, and you have received a receipt.
Storage Service
University Storage focuses on offering a very affordable service to students. Simply reserve with us and we’ll hold your items until you need them. We only charge for what you store.
Rules for Storage
If the box appears to be damaged or not sustainable enough for Storage, you will either have to produce a box in better condition or use a University Storage box. All boxes and items must be paid in full. Glassware, mirrors, and easily breakable materials are not recommended to store since they will not be covered for. If you have items that are not mentioned in the miscellaneous pricing they must be placed in a box. Items University Storage will not store but are not limited to:
Storage Size Limit
There is no limit in how many items you may store. As long as the box or item can be carried and loaded, this will be accepted. University Storage will not accept extremely heavy items. If two people can’t lift it up together, then it is too heavy.
Coverage of Damaged Stored Item(s)
Although we take great care with all items, accidents do happen. University Storage's liability is strictly limited, University Storage will not process any payment for damages that is less than or equal to $200 per Customer. If the damages exceed $200, University Storage will pay damages of up to $1000 per Customer minus the $200 deduction. University Storage expressly disclaims any liability in excess of $1000 per Customer. If there is an incident regarding damaged items, University Storage will investigate the matter and make sure that you did not violate the Terms and Conditions. If you did not violate the Conditions and if it was clearly University Storage’s fault, University Storage will provide for repair to damaged items and recovery for loss of items. This is based on the actual cash value of the items at the time of loss or damage (i.e., the depreciated value).
University Storage will not provide coverage for easily breakable items, such as glassware and mirrors. University Storage will also not provide coverage for irreplaceable and sentimental items including: Airline tickets, birth certificates, checkbooks, computers, deeds, electronics, evidences of debt, family photos, art, jewels / jewelry, laptops, medicine, personal CDs / DVDs / video tapes, personal papers, precious metals, rare or historical items, school papers and records, stamp and coin collections, valuable documents, money or securities.
Insurance Option
Insurance for Storage Items can be purchased through University Storage at a cost of $1/month per Standard Box and $2/per month per Large Box or Bulk Item. Any item additionally insured must be clearly indicated on the Label of the Box or Bulk Item at the time the insurance is purchased. University Storage allows Customers to purchase Insurance for Storage items up 7 days after collection. After 7 days, Customers will not be able to opt into the program.
The Storage Insurance Option waives the $200 deductible mentioned in “Coverage of Damaged Stored Item(s)” section of the Terms and Conditions. The Storage Insurance Option provides coverage for mirrors and glassware as well. The $1000 limit per Customer remains. Items damaged will be refunded based on the actual cash value of the items at the time of loss or damage (i.e., the depreciated value). Customers have the option to insure all Storage items or individual Storage items. Damage to items that were not insured will not be covered and will be applied to the normal $200 deductible found in the “Coverage of Damaged Stored Item(s)” section above.
Shipping Service
In addition to storage services, University Storage coordinates shipping services. We can coordinate the shipping of your items home for the summer rather than storing them locally. Following the packing of items, University Storage will deliver your Items to the storage facility designated by University Storage. University Storage will inspect the received items for exterior damage sustained during the shipment to the warehouse and will notify you of any damage upon receipt.
University Storage is only an intermediary for the receipt and forwarding of your shipped Items to UPS/FedEx. You agree to complete the "Ship from" and/or "Ship to" information correctly within the University Storage website when placing your order for shipping services and indicate University Storage which items are to be shipped. University Storage will transport the Items to UPS/FedEx as necessary and process the payment for the shipment to your card on file with University Storage.
University Storage is not liable for the errors or omissions of any shipping carrier. UPS/FedEx delivery dates are not guaranteed but are an estimated arrival date based on standard transit times provided by UPS/FedEx. However, in the event of damage during shipping, University Storage will use its reasonable efforts to assist with any claim against the shipping carrier.
