Full-Service Storage; Service Providers

Full-Service Storage includes the provision of technology that enables the processing of payment for the Rental Services on behalf of Renter and Service Providers, but for the avoidance of doubt, Full-Service Storage itself does not include the provision of Rental Services. Storage Finda is not in the business of providing Rental Services and any Rental Services provided to you will be conducted by Service Providers, and not Storage Finda. You may procure Rental Services through Full-Service Storage by placing a reservation ("Reservations") with Service Providers who have listed with us. Storage Finda reserves the right to change Service Providers at its discretion, and facilitate the transfer of any stored goods to another Service Provider, in which case Storage Finda will endeavor to timely notify you of such transfer.

The price displayed via Full-Service Storage for any Rental Service ("Service Fee") is a combination of such provided rates and certain referral and/or facilitation fees retained by Storage Finda to compensate us for Full-Service Storage. With respect to any Reservation, the "Total Reservation Cost" means the Service Fee, [plus tax recovery charges, service fees,] and where applicable, taxes on Full-Service Storage. The Service Fee will be as quoted via Full-Service Storage, except in cases of obvious error. Service Fees are liable to change at any time, provided, except with respect to pricing errors, such change shall not affect Reservations already accepted by a Service Provider. Despite our good faith and reasonable efforts, some Service Fees may be incorrectly priced.

In the case of pending reservations, if available, we will offer you the opportunity to keep your pending reservations at the correct price or we will cancel your reservation without penalty. Storage Finda is under no obligation to obtain Rental Services for you at an incorrect price, regardless of you receiving a confirmation of your Reservation.

By placing a Reservation, Renter (i) agrees to pay the Total Reservation Cost for such Reservation in a timely manner, and (ii) authorizes Storage Finda to charge, itself or through Payment Processor, Renter's credit card for the Total Reservation Cost of such Reservation.
