In the absence of response, the request is considered rejected. If they accept the reservation, the Contract is confirmed and the Fee is taken from the Renter. Specific Obligations of Hosts
• 22. To create a Listing, the Host must describe the GarageYou listing, along with any conditions of storage they wish to apply, on the listing page of the Website. Such description may include text, graphics, pictures and other relevant content and should include details like size, location, security, whether or not a deposit is required for access cards/keys, and access offered. The Host will also disclose to the Company the price he wishes to charge for storage (the “GarageYou Rent”).

In the event that the Space becomes unavailable for any reason, you agree to remove or suspend the Listing as soon as reasonably practicable.

• 25. Where Full Private Access is provided, the Renter is responsible for all damage to the storage space that would be caused by the objects stored or by any negligent act or omission of the Renter and agrees to pay reasonable compensation in the unlikely event of damage to the Space caused. Reasonable compensation will normally mean paying for reasonable repairs, or replacement where the Space or part thereof is damaged beyond repair.

The Host has the obligation to inform without delay the Renter for any loss, damage or theft he would have found on the deposited assets. The Host in this case is responsible for the restitution of the deposited property in the condition they were at the day of delivery.

  • a. Assign their rights as bailee to GarageYou;
  • b. Assist GarageYou to the best of their ability by complying with any and all reasonable requests (such as, but not limited to: denying the Renter access to the property and their storage, taking images and an accurate inventory of the items in storage, allowing third party access to view the items in storage, and providing any reasonable information as requested by GarageYou). Should the Host fail to comply with any reasonable request, this may (at the sole discretion of GarageYou) be deemed sufficient to cancel the agreement and immediately cease all payments to the Host.

By entering into a Contract with a Host you warrant and represent that you will only use the space for the storage of personal property, you are not seeking storage of Prohibited Goods and will not use the Space for any unlawful purpose, and you will not do anything that will interfere with the Host’s reasonable enjoyment of the rest of the premises.
• 30. The Renter undertakes to pay the Fee promptly, fully and in good faith and using the online Payment Manager upon confirmation of the Contract with the Host.
• 31. Payment to GarageYou of less than the amount owed does not affect your obligation to pay the balance. Acceptance of this part-payment is not a waiver of any rights Spacer has under this agreement.
• 32. Should you fail to pay the full amount due, or if any payment is not processed correctly or cancelled, you acknowledge that GarageYou incurs internal and external costs, and you agree to pay all costs in full.
• 33. The Renter will comply with the access and security arrangements in the Contract or as otherwise agreed, and keep safe any keys or other items used to access the Space.
