  • Damage to Host’s Property

Damage shall be payable only at PeerStorage’s discretion. The secondary “guarantee” provided will apply after the Host’s homeowner’s policy or commercial general liability policy and the Renter’s insurance policies have been applied. An official written claim must be filed within 10 days of the Booking cancelation date, or the Move Out Date, whichever is earlier, and the claimed property damages must be directly caused by the Renters Goods in storage at the Host’s property. The property in question must be explicitly listed on the PeerStorage Storage Listings prior to the damage occurring.

The Host agrees to pay associated arbitration fees in the cases where the Renter is found responsible for damage to the Hosts property.

Cancellations

Account

We reserve the right, with or without cause, to refuse or cancel Your Account and Listing at any time without prior notice. You release PeerStorage from any liability regarding said refusal or cancellation. We may terminate or suspend Your Account immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if You breach these Terms and Conditions. Upon termination, Your right to use the Service will cease immediately. If You wish to terminate Your Account, You may simply discontinue using the Service.

Renter Booking Cancellation

It is the responsibility of the Renter, not the Host, to cancel a Booking once the Renter has removed the Goods from the Space. Renters must visit their My Bookings page to cancel their Booking and all future payments will be stopped effective immediately. Renters are not eligible for a refund nor a prorated amount if they store for less than the standard rental month.

  • If a Renter needs to cancel their Booking, they must do so 48 hours in advanced of the Move In Date in order to be eligible for 75% refund of the Listing Price and will be refunded 0% of the Service and Payment Transaction Fees.
  • If a Renter needs to cancel their Booking less than 24 hours after Booking approval and/or more than two (2) days before the Move in date, the Renter is eligible for a 100% refund of the listing price minus the Payment Transaction Fees.
  • If a Renter gets approved of a Booking on the Renters Move In Date but needs to cancel, they are eligible for 100% refund of the Listing Price and will be refunded 0% of the Service and Payment Transaction Fees. Renter must request refund from PeerStorage through the Contact us page, the same day of their Booking approval and Move In Date in order to be eligible. If Renter refund requests to PeerStorage is made after Booking approval and Move In Date, Renter is not eligible for any refund.

The Renter must communicate with the Host on when they will be moving out the Goods. If a Renter communicates to its Host that it wants to move out and end it’s Booking but does not cancel its Booking on the PeerStorage Service, the Renter is not eligible for a refund if its rental month automatically renews or the Renter is already charged for the Booking.

Host Booking Cancellation

The Host reserves the right to refuse or cancel Your Booking before the Renters Move In Date for any reason. If the Host cancels the Booking prior to the Move In Date but has received payment, the Host is obligated to fully refund the Renter.

If a Host needs to terminate a Booking after the Renter has moved their Goods in the storage space with no breach of Terms and Conditions by Renter, the Host is required to provide notice immediately to the Renter and PeerStorage. If the Renter has booked at a daily or weekly Rental Period, the Host has to notify the Renter in advanced of half the period of the Renters total Rental Period. For example, if the Renter has booked storage for ten (10) days, the Host must provide the Renter five (5) days’ notice. If the Renter has booked a Month to Month Booking, the Host must provide notice immediately or 30 days’ notice of the Move Out Date or date of last payment.

If the Renter has booked at the hourly Rental Period and less than a 24-hour Rental period, the Host must notify the Renter immediately. This is considered not sufficient notification time and the Host will be charged $50 termination fee and refund the Renter for the time left on the Rental period.

In an unlikely occasion requiring a Host to cancel the Booking without sufficient time stated above, and the Renter has to move out their Goods immediately, the Host will be charged for all fees associated with moving out the Goods to a new storage space. The Renter will receive the refund for the time left on the Booking refunded by the Host minus Service and Payment Transaction Fees. The Host will also be charged a $100 termination fee.

Month to Month Booking Cancelations

If the Renter is on a month to month automatic payment agreement (“Month to Month Booking”) with the Host, in order to cancel and end the Booking, the Renter must cancel their booking through the PeerStorage Service under My Reservations. If Renter or Host wishes to cancel or terminate the Booking, the party wishing to terminate must provide 30 days notice (“Notice Period”) to the other party in writing and through the PeerStorage Service.

If you are a Renter terminating the Booking, you must pay the Total Fees associated with each day of the Booking Term until the cancelation or termination is effective, regardless of whether you have vacated or removed your Goods beforehand. The Host will receive the Booking Fee less the applicable Host Fee corresponding to the whole Notice Period.

If you are a Host terminating the Booking, you agree to continue to store the Goods for the duration of the Notice Period and forfeit the Booking Fee payable to you for the period of the Notice Period.

If an automatic payment of the Total Fee is unsuccessful, or any payment of the Total Fee is not received by PeerStorage when due for a Monthly Period, the Renter and Host will be notified by PeerStorage. In the event that payment is not remitted within 30 days of being due, Host may deny the Renter access to the Space or Host’s property until the default is cured. In the event that payment is not remitted by the end of that Monthly Period, the Booking shall terminate, and the Host may: (a) give the Renter 3 days’ notice to retake possession of the Goods; and (b) exercise any other remedy allowed by law.

Renters looking to cancel their Subscriptions are to do so through contacting PeerStorage through the Contact Us page.

Booking Agreements

Renters are to submit a Booking for the space via the Service, the Renter is making an offer to transact for the requested Booking.

Month-to-month booking is a Booking process which the Renter does not set a Move Out Date, only a Move In Date for the Booking. The Renter will be automatically charged on the same date of the month for their Booking until Booking is canceled on the PeerStorage Service as in section “Renter Booking Cancellation”.

If you are a Host, you will receive a Request via the Service. You will be required to either accept or reject the Request before the Move In Date or the request will be expired. When the Request is accepted and confirmed by the Host, the Host agrees to pay the Payment Transaction Fee corresponding to the payment for the requested Booking on the Move In Date. Upon confirmation of the Booking, the Renter and the Host will receive a confirmation email from PeerStorage summarizing the confirmed Booking. If the Host does not accept or reject a Request before or on the Move In Date, the Request will be automatically expire and be canceled.

Once Booking is accepted, You agree that all payments for Bookings transacted on or through the Service must be made on or through the Service in accordance to this Terms and Conditions.

When a Renter requests a Booking for a Listing and the Booking is accepted, the Renter agrees and understands that they are required to enter into an agreement with the Host and to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with the Storage space imposed by the Host.

Bookings are solely between Renters and Hosts. PeerStorage is not a party to any Booking agreement. You acknowledge and agree that You, not PeerStorage, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any Booking agreement you enter into, and that, with the exception of its payment collection obligations, PeerStorage disclaims all liability arising from or related to any Booking agreement. You understand and agree that PeerStorage does not act as an insurer, real estate broker, or your contracting agent.

Renter Access to Space

Hosts are solely responsible for honoring any confirmed Bookings and making available any Storage space reserved in connection to this Service. In the Listing the Host agrees to provide the times that the Renter may access Goods. In some cases, Host may provide Renter with means for unlimited access. Renter must contact Host at least 24 hours in advance to request access unless otherwise specified in written agreement between the Host and the Renter. Unless otherwise noted in the Listing, the Host must provide reasonable access to the Space upon request from the Renter and communicate with the Renter in a timely manner.

Payments

All Services purchased for Bookings are subject to month-to-month automatic payments or Normal Booking payment schedules. Payment can be made through various payment methods we have available, such as Visa, MasterCard, Affinity Card, American Express cards or online payment methods (Stripe, Stripe Connect, for example).

PeerStorage will process payments made by Renters using a third-party service provider (“Stripe”). By transacting for a Booking with a Host or otherwise purchasing services on or through the Service, you hereby agree and acknowledge that PeerStorage is bound by Stripe’s terms and conditions (available at https://stripe.com/us/terms) (“Stripe Terms and Conditions”), along with its privacy policy (available at https://stripe.com/us/privacy) (“Stripe Privacy Policy”), and that you also agree to be bound by the Stripe Terms and Conditions and Stripe Privacy Policy to the extent applicable. You also hereby consent and authorize PeerStorage to delegate the authorizations and to share the information you provide to PeerStorage with Stripe to the extent required to provide payment services to you. PeerStorage may also be contacted directly for payment support by email at [email protected].

Payment Schedule

Renter will be charged applicable fees on a recurring basis starting on the Move In Date and at the beginning of each Monthly Period.

If Renter selects a Month to Month Booking, the Renter agrees to allow PeerStorage and Stripe to automatically charge the Renter on the same day every month. The Renter will be automatically charged the same Rental Rate on every Monthly Period until the Renter cancels the Booking through the PeerStorage Service.

If Renter selects a Normal Booking, which includes a Move In Date and Move Out Date, for periods less than a Monthly Period – the last payment (e.g a 40-day Booking will be broken into a Monthly Period and a subsequent 10-day partial period) shall be determined by dividing the monthly Rental Rate by the total number of days in the calendar month and multiplying this by the number of days remaining in the month from the commencement date of the Booking. A partial period payment occurs at the conclusion of the booking.

Payment Terms

Payment for Booking will be collected on the Move In Date when the Booking is confirmed by the Host. Renter must pay for the Billing Total on the Monthly period for a Month to Month Booking payment schedule and Normal Booking.

PeerStorage will collect from Renter the Total Fees at the time of Move In Date. PeerStorage will automatically collect the Service Fee from the Renter and the Payment transaction fee and Host Fee from the Host.

Each Listing will display the Rental Rate and the Service Fee. The Host determines the Rental Rate for the Listing. The Renter will be shown the Booking Total for the Monthly Period and the Service Fee and any Taxes applicable to the requested Booking, prior to submitting the Booking request.

If you are a Renter, you acknowledge and agree that PeerStorage acts as the Host’s payment collection agent for the purpose of accepting payments on behalf of the Host for the applicable Booking. You the Renter authorize PeerStorage to collect the Booking Total associated with the Booking by your Payment Method.

Host Payouts

If you are a Host, you hereby appoint PeerStorage as your limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the Booking Total from Renter. If you are a Host, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) collection of the Booking Total and the remittance of the Booking Total less any Host Fee’s shall be in accordance with these Terms; (b) payment of a Booking Total by a Renter to PeerStorage fulfills that Renter’s obligation to pay such Booking Total; (c) PeerStorage may refund to a Renter any portion of the Booking Fees in accordance with the cancellation policy set forth in section “Renter Booking Cancelation”; (d) PeerStorage’s obligation to pay the Host is subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the associated Booking Total from a Renter; and (e) PeerStorage does not guarantee payments to Hosts for amounts that have not been successfully received by PeerStorage from a Renter. In accepting appointment as the limited collection agent of the Host, PeerStorage assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Host.

Payouts to the Host work like this:

  • Payout is made via direct deposit to your bank account. Payouts occur in a Monthly Periods, with the first payout on the first day of your second Monthly Period. We hold payouts this way to protect both renters and hosts in the event that either party cancels prematurely. For periods less than one Monthly Period – shorter bookings or bookings with partial periods at the end (e.g a 40-day Booking will be broken into a 30-day initial period and a subsequent 10-day partial period). A partial period payout occurs at the conclusion of the booking. If a payout is requested prior to this Monthly Period, payouts will be held until the Move Out Date.
  • The payout the Host receives is the Booking Total minus Service Fee, Host Fee, and Payment Transaction Fee. There may be a fee associated with the transfer of money into a Hosts account from Stripe. After a payout is transferred at the Monthly Period, it may take up to seven (7) days for Hosts to receive payouts. This is dependent on the Payment Method chosen by the Host and Renter.

Hosts agree to provide their Payment Method in order to receive Payouts.

Taxes

You understand and agree that you as the Host are solely responsible for determining your applicable tax reporting requirements in consultation with your tax advisors. Hosts agree to review their own country, state, and city tax and zoning codes and to make adjustments in their billing structure prior to submitting their Listing on PeerStorage. PeerStorage cannot and does not offer tax-related advice to any User.

You as a Host understand and agree that you are solely responsible for determining (i) your applicable Tax reporting requirements, and (ii) the Taxes that should be included, and for including Taxes to be collected or obligations relating to applicable Taxes in Listings. You are also solely responsible for remitting to the relevant authority any Taxes included or received by you.

Security Deposit

Upon finalization of the Booking agreement process through the Company’s Website, the Renter may be required to provide a security deposit (the “Security Deposit”) to the Company. The Security Deposit will be held by the Company as a form of security against any potential damage, losses, or unpaid fees related to the Host’s Space.

In the event that any damage to the storage Space occurs during the term of the Booking agreement, the Host agrees to submit a claim to their insurance provider and must provide the Company with the total claims amount from their insurance, along with a detailed calculation of the total cost of the damage caused by the Renter.

The Company, upon receipt and validation of the Host’s damage claim, may transfer the Security Deposit to the Host to offset the cost of the damage, as determined by the insurance claim.

If there is no damage or outstanding fees at the end of the Booking agreement, the Security Deposit will be returned to the Renter in accordance with these terms.

Promotions

Renter may be evicted for default payment, illegal Goods as listed in “Obligations of Renter”, or failure to move out items past their Move Out Date.

  2. Renter has provided false or incorrect information to Host or to PeerStorage; or
  3. Renter has failed to notify Host and PeerStorage of a change in the Renter’s address, or e-mail address as required in these terms; or
  4. Renter has failed to vacate the Space by the end of its Booking period or the date on which Renter is to vacate as required by the host; or
  5. Renter will be in default if Renter has failed to comply with any of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions.

 

Renter Default Process

If a Renter fails to make a payment on their Booking or Renter is in “default”, PeerStorage shall take steps to notify Renter of such default and provide Renter an opportunity to mitigate such defaults. If Renter fails after receiving such notice and opportunity to mitigate defaults, PeerStorage may exercise one or more of the following:

  1. Collect Renters owed charges to the Host and PeerStorage. PeerStorage has the right to exercise any remedy by law.
  2. Deny Renter access to Renters Goods and property which Renters Goods are Stored.
  3. Cancel Renters Booking by giving Renter two (2) days’ notice to vacate. If Renter fails to vacate and PeerStorage files an eviction lawsuit, Renter will pay PeerStorage’s attorneys fees and court costs plus a reasonable judicial eviction charge for PeerStorage’s time, inconvenience and overhead for filing the eviction suit.
  4. PeerStorage and Host have the right to lien by seizure and sale of all Stored Goods in the Space, pursuant to applicable laws, rules and regulations, under the Host’s local and state codes, as long as applicable fees have not been paid for at least 30 days. Seizure and sale will only be for default in paying sums due to PeerStorage. Renter is obligated to pay fees associated with using a third-party to remove their Goods from the Host’s Space if charges have not been paid for at least 30 days. Sale of the Stored Goods in the Space may be accomplished using an online storage auction, and Renter waives any claims, statutory or otherwise, arising out of any allegation that the online storage auction was related to disposition of the Stored Goods.

If either of such events listed above occur, the Host may not communicate with the Renter or take any action other than to restrict access to the Space. Host must cooperate with PeerStorage in any eviction, sale, auction, or other proceedings against a Renter and must provide requested information (e.g list or photos of items) to PeerStorage in a timely manner upon request. The Host also must provide access to the Space as requested by PeerStorage for the new owner of any contents that have been auctioned to a third party.

Further, unless You and PeerStorage otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). PeerStorage’s address for notice is: PeerStorage Company, LLC., 1420 NW Gilman BLVD, Suite #2, Issaquah, WA, 98027. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or PeerStorage may commence an arbitration proceeding. Any decision or award as a result of any such arbitration proceeding shall be in writing and shall provide an explanation for all conclusions of law and fact and shall include the assessment of costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Any such arbitration shall be conducted by an arbitrator experienced in the “Sharing Economy,” and shall include a written record of the arbitration hearing. The parties reserve the right to object to any individual who shall be employed by or affiliated with a competing organization or entity. An award of arbitration may be confirmed in a court of competent jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor to settle any such dispute via good faith negotiation prior to initiating any arbitration proceeding.

During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or PeerStorage must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, PeerStorage will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by PeerStorage in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $1,000.

Exceptions to this arbitration provision include (i) any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights; or (ii) any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances. Any claim in exception to the above agreement to arbitration shall be brought into judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction in Seattle, Washington.

If any portion of this arbitration provision is found to be unenforceable or unlawful, those unenforceable or unlawful portions shall be severed from these terms. The severance of unenforceable or unlawful portions of this arbitration provision shall not have any impact on the remainder of the arbitration provision, which shall be given full force and effect.

To the extent any disputed matter arising out of or relating to these Terms is deemed to not be subject to these arbitration provisions, such portion of any disputed matter shall be brought exclusively in the federal and state courts located within the State of Washington, and the parties do hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Waiver

Except as provided herein, the failure to exercise a right or to require performance of an obligation under this Terms shall not affect a party’s ability to exercise such right or require such performance at any time thereafter nor shall be the waiver of a breach constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.

Changes to These Terms and Conditions

We reserve the right, at Our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, We will make reasonable efforts to provide at least 30 days notice prior to any new terms taking effect.
