By accessing the services you confirm that you will comply with these Terms of Business; you confirm that you are the owner of the vehicle. You shall on or before presentation of the vehicle for storage inform us, in writing, of any special issues required due to the particular nature of the vehicle giving precise details and specifying all precautions necessary. Your attention is drawn to Section 4 – Liability and Insurance, below. We may terminate, discontinue or change all or any part of our service offering, without notice. We will not be liable to you if for any reason our service offering is no longer available for any period. We reserve the right to move the vehicle by driving or otherwise as we deem necessary or appropriate. We further reserve the right to move any vehicle to any other location in the event that the storage facility has to be closed either permanently or temporarily, as deemed appropriate by CSL. CSL reserves the right to forcefully enter a vehicle in such a manner as it deems necessary, without being liable for damage caused to facilitate the exercise of the rights conferred in the above paragraph or to abate any nuisance caused by the vehicle.
It is your sole responsibility to ensure that all ownership documentation and other such documentation (as required and requested by CSL) is provided prior to presentation of the vehicle for storage. CSL will not store your vehicle unless and until it is in possession of the V5C registration certificate confirming that you are the registered keeper of the vehicle. In the event that your vehicle is sold in accordance with these Terms of Business, CSL retains the right to transfer registration of the vehicle to the new owner using the V5C registration certificate as provided to CSL prior to commencement of the vehicle storage, in accordance with these Terms of Business. You warrant that all information provided by you in respect of the vehicle and yourself is true, accurate and correct. It is your sole responsibility to keep your contact details up to date and to notify CSL of any changes to your address or contact information. Any notice or communication required to be given or sent by CSL to you in connection with this agreement shall be deemed to be properly given if sent by post addressed to you at the last address of which you shall have given notice to us.
CSL provides long term storage facilities and care to owners of fine cars, the minimum initial term of storage of a vehicle is three (3) months, and is subject to an upfront, non-refundable, payment of three (3) months' storage charges. Subject to the minimum term, the initial storage term may be such term as is agreed by CSL and you. Any extensions of the agreed initial (or subsequent) storage period will be on the same conditions as these, subject to any adjustment of charges or notice of a change to these Terms of Business. Storage charges will be invoiced on a monthly basis, in advance, and are payable by direct debit (or, subject to any applicable surcharge, by direct debit), in accordance with the payment mechanism stipulated on the order or renewal form. All storage fees must be settled in advance, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing. Storage charges do not include the cost of any carriage of a vehicle to or from storage. CSL may increase storage charges from time to time on providing 21 days prior notice. If you fail to make any payment due to CSL under these Terms of Business by the due date for payment, without limiting any other remedy we may have under these Terms of Business, you shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per annum above the Bank of England's base rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount. You agree to grant CSL a particular lien on the vehicle/ goods being stored in accordance with these Terms of Business, as well as a general lien permitting us to retain the vehicle and any other goods stored by you with us as security for payment of all sums claimed by CSL on any account. In the event that you have failed to make payment within 28 days from the date that the sums fall due, CSL may, at CSL's discretion, remove the vehicle from the secured storage facility and place it at any other location on the premises, whether protected from the elements or otherwise.
CSL may refuse to deliver or grant access to the vehicle to you unless all storage charges accrued due and other such sums have been paid in full. CSL may at any time require you to remove any vehicle upon 28 days' notice in writing. If you fail to remove the vehicle from the custody or control of CSL by the due time (notice in accordance with these Terms of Business having been given) CSL reserves the right to dispose of the vehicle in accordance with these Terms of Business. Further to the rights granted in the preceding paragraphs, if you fail to pay any outstanding sums due to CSL (including but not limited to any unpaid storage charges and/or interest due on any overdue payment) CSL may, without prejudice to its other rights and remedies, issue you with a final notice for payment of outstanding sums due, together with notification that in the event of your continued failure to settle any outstanding sums within 28 days of receipt of such final notice, CSL may sell your vehicle.

CSL does not insure individual vehicles and responsibility for maintaining insurance in respect of any vehicle deposited with CSL shall at all times remain solely with you, the vehicle owner. We strongly recommend that you maintain a storage insurance policy for fire, theft, accidental damage in store and any other risks as you may require to be insured against. CSL does not accept, and you agree and understand that CSL does not accept, any liability for destruction, damage or loss to the vehicle or any items contained within the vehicle presented for storage howsoever caused, nor any delay, non-delivery, late or mistaken delivery, unauthorised delivery or non-compliance with instructions (hereafter collectively referred to as "loss") provided that if and to the extent the loss is directly caused by neglect or wilful default of CSL shall accept liability for loss up to the maximum of liability specified and agreed by both parties in the paragraph below. CSL accepts a maximum liability equivalent to the lesser of (a) £100,000 per vehicle and (b) the storage fees paid by you to CSL in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to liability. Under no circumstances will CSL be liable to you for any loss of profit or income or goodwill or indirect or consequential loss of any kind.
You are strongly advised to maintain insurance cover for the vehicle throughout the time that it is in storage with us. We are not and will not be held responsible for any loss, damage or destruction of any vehicle whilst in the control of a third party provided that you have requested or implicitly agreed with the relevant procedure or service being provided by a third party over which CSL has no control. CSL shall have no responsibility or liability for any malfunction or failure (including but not limited to mechanical and electrical issues) directly or indirectly resulting from the vehicle being in storage or occurring thereafter. CSL shall be relieved of its contractual obligations to the extent that their performance is prevented by or the non-performance results wholly or partly, directly or indirectly from any act, neglect or default of the vehicle owner including any breach by you of these Terms of Business or non-payment, or by storm, flood, fire, explosion, breakdown or unavailability of plant and/or machinery, riot, civil disturbance, industrial dispute, labour disturbance or cause beyond our reasonable control. Any and all claims made by you against CSL shall be notified in writing to CSL within 21 days of such claim being brought to your attention or of the vehicle being delivered, whichever shall be sooner, and any claims not brought against CSL within such timeframe shall be deemed waived.
