Property Remotely-Managed 

TENANT UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE FACILITY MAY BE UNATTENDED ON A REGULAR BASIS, WHICH MEANS THERE MAY BE NO MANAGER ON DUTY AT THE SITE.  THE FACILITY, THEREFORE MAY NOT BE INSPECTED ON A REGULAR BASIS AND THEREFORE, ENTRANCE TO AND USE OF THE FACILITY IS AT THE TENANT'S OWN RISK.

Payments  

PAYMENTS MAY ONLY BE MADE BY CREDIT CARD OR DEBIT CARD (or other additionally supported payment types) using Smartlock’s website (https://www.smartlockselfstorage.com/), except (i) during website outages, (ii) during account statuses not supported by the website (e.g. if Tenant’s space is being processed for sale), or (iii) at the option of Smartlock by other means (e.g. over the phone). 

Your Property Must be Insured

You acknowledge that you are required to insure your personal property while it is on the premises at all our facilities. If you elect to not enroll in Smartlock’s Protection Addedum during initialization of your Agreement and do not provide us the policy information within fourteen (14) days, you will automatically be enrolled in the $5,000-limit Protection Addendum and owe the associated additional rent you do provide such information to us.

Quick Access

Smartlock may enter the space after Smartlock has made written request to Tenant for access to the space for relocation of contents after casualty loss or for inspection, repair, or improvement, and Tenant has failed to provide such access at the time and date requested, which may be no sooner than 3 days from the sending of such request.

Digital Locks 

Tenant understands that the space may be equipped with an electronic locking system. Without Smartlock’s advance written consent, Tenant is not permitted to secure Tenant’s space with a lock if Smartlock has installed for Tenant’s space an electronic locking mechanism (e.g. Nokē Smart Entry system). Smartlock may remove any unpermitted Tenant locks. The term “overlock” in this agreement includes Smartlock’s disabling of electronic unit locks which may deny Tenant’s access. Tenant understands and agrees that the use of an electronic locking system does not change the Smartlock’s non-bailment status. Tenant is required to utilize the electronic locking system to secure its unit. Notwithstanding the use of an electronic locking system, Tenant maintains the care, custody and control of its stored property, the duty to secure and protect its stored property and the risk of loss of its stored property. 

Smartlock provides no warranty for the operation of the electronic locking system. Tenant agrees and assumes the risk of possible malfunction of the electronic locking system, arising from mechanical failure, electrical or battery outage or other causes outside the control of the Smartlock. As such, Tenant releases Smartlock from any liability arising from the failure of the electronic locking system to operate as intended.  Tenant disclaims all claims for liability against the Smartlock for consequences resulting from inadvertent locking of the space. Smartlock does not warrant or guarantee that the use of the electronic locking system will prevent theft of the stored goods. A lock removal fee of $100.00 shall apply if Smartlock removes any unauthorized Tenant lock on the space.

Moving Out; Prorations 

Tenant agrees to follow the move-out process as described on Smartlock’s website, as such may be amended from time to time: (https://moveout.smartlockselfstorage.com/). No refund shall be provided to Tenant for current month if Tenant moves out before the end of Tenant’s current billing cycle.

Storing Vehicles 

Prior to Tenant storing any vehicle, boat, trailer, or any other titled property (“Titled Property”) at the Facility, whether for an enclosed unit or for an open parking lot space, Tenant shall provide Smartlock a completed and executed “Storage of Vehicle or Trailer Addendum.” 

Debit/Credit Card Charges, Disputes and Chargebacks

Tenant authorizes Smartlock to automatically debit a recurring charge/transaction for the monthly rent for the unit(s) shown in the Agreement from Tenant’s credit or debit card or bank account provided, for the term of the Agreement. Tenant understands that tenant will be notified, as set forth in the Agreement, if the rental amount due for Tenant’s space(s) changes, and that the amount debited monthly will reflect the effective rate. This authorization will remain in effect until terminated in writing and shall also serve to authorize any non-recurring charges due under the Agreement including NSF fees, late fees, and all other charges contemplated by the Agreement. Tenant also agrees to hold Smartlock, Smartlock’s agents and employees, harmless from any and all liability as a result of its activities in connection with such transactions.

Smartlock reserves the right, with advance written notification, to terminate your participation in this payment option. If an automatic debit is refused for any reason, including over-credit-limit charges, closed or unauthorized accounts, insufficient funds, or incorrect expiration dates, Smartlock may not be able to process payment. If payment is unable to be processed in a timely manner, late charges and other applicable charges as set forth in the Agreement may be charged and an alternate payment method may be required. If other payment arrangements are not made, Tenant will be subject to the lien enforcement procedures stated in the Agreement.

Tenant agrees to pay a total of $500.00 for any credit card dispute attempts, plus all collection and legal fees until the complete amount is paid in full. This shall not serve as a penalty, but as a fee for extra labor to research and submit additional paperwork for the credit card processor in order for Smartlock to rebut and fight such action.

If at any point in time Tenant requests a chargeback from their credit card company, Smartlock reserves the right to use any and all correspondence with Tenant to prove the legitimacy of the transaction. Some examples of correspondence may include, but is not limited to the following documents: (a) any and all signed agreements, whether signed via E-Sign or in person; (b) receipts of purchase; (c) receipts of down payment; (d) receipt of any payment for the specific charge; (e) delivery documentation should any claim refer to any services not being rendered or goods not being delivered; (f) the Tenant’s IP Address showing what computer signed the agreement via E-Sign and where; and (g) any and all other correspondence regarding the Tenant’s transaction to evidence services being rendered, proving the legitimacy of the transaction.

Should Smartlock’s discovery documentation provide sufficient evidence of a false chargeback, Client shall be liable for any and all fees and expenses incurred during the dispute resolution, plus the $500.00 fee listed above.

Non-disparagement and Waiver of Related Rights 

UNTIL TENANT HAS MADE GOOD FAITH EFFORTS TO CONTACT SMARTLOCK TO RESOLVE ANY UNSATISFACTORY CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE OR PURPORTED BREACH HEREUNDER, except as requested by Smartlock, as permitted by applicable law that may supersede the terms of this Agreement, or as compelled by valid legal process, the Tenant shall not make to any other party any statement (whether oral, written, electronic, anonymous, on the Internet, or otherwise), which directly or indirectly impugns the quality or integrity of the Smartlock’s or any of the other Smartlock’s business, or any other disparaging or derogatory remarks about them. In executing this Agreement, the Tenant acknowledges and agrees that he has knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived any (i) free speech, free association, free press, or First Amendment to the United States Constitution (including, without limitation, any counterpart or similar provision or right under any State Constitution) rights to disclose, communicate, or publish any statements prohibited by this subparagraph and (ii) right to file a motion to dismiss or pursue any other relief under the Texas Citizens Participation Act or similar state law in connection with any claim filed against him by the Company, including without limitation any claim arising from any alleged breach of this Agreement or the continuing obligations hereunder.
