The Storage Fee and the Service Fee each comprise 50 per cent. of the Fee, and any transaction fees (such as Stripe fees and/or bank charges on transfers made) and discounts applied to bookings are applied to the Fee before the separate Storage Fee and Service Fee are determined. If a booking period is extended at any time by agreement between the Customer and the Host, the extension will be treated as a new contract for the purpose of the collection and payment of Fees. Each Customer authorises Repono, to collect the Fees in the amounts and at the times stated in these Conditions. If a Customer fails to remove his stored Item, additional fees will accrue at the rates set out on this Site. A Host should alert Repono by phone or by emailing info@Repono.store in the case of delay by a Customer in collecting his Item.

21.CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

If a Customer cancels a confirmed booking made through this Site before the confirmed booking start date, then no penalties will occur, and the Customer will be eligible to receive a refund. If a Host cancels less than 24 hours prior to the confirmed booking start date, then the Host will receive a warning. Warnings may lead to the Host being banned from this Site at the sole discretion of Repono. Customers will not be eligible for a refund once their Item has been stored if they choose to collect the Item early. Customers that miss a booking but fail to cancel before the booking starts will also not be eligible for a refund.

22.DEFAULT BY CUSTOMER AND HOST’S REMEDIES

A Customer will be in default if: (a) the Customer has failed to pay any sum when due; (c) the Customer has provided incorrect information as part of his booking; (d) the Customer has failed to comply with any provision of these Conditions; or (e) the Customer has violated health, safety or criminal laws on the Host’s property, regardless of whether any arrest or conviction has occurred. If a Customer is in default, the Host shall take reasonable steps to notify the Customer of the default, will notify Repono by email to info@repono.store and shall, unless the default cannot be cured, provide the Customer with a reasonable opportunity to cure the default. If the Customer fails to cure the default, after receiving the notice and opportunity to cure, or where the default cannot be curedthe Host may: (i) deny the Customer access to the Space or the Item until the default is cured; (ii) terminate the Customer’s booking by giving the Customer three days’ notice to vacate and, if the Customer fails to vacate and the Host takes appropriate legal action, the Customer will pay the Host’s legal fees and court costs plus £500 in compensation for the Host’s inconvenience in taking legal action; (iii) collect charges as appropriate and exercise any other remedy allowed by law; and/or (iv) request Repono to issue a written notice to the Customer (at the email or postal address supplied by the Customer) of the Host’s intention to sell the Item within 10 days. If the default is not cured in full after the 10-day period, the Customer agrees that the Host may sell the Item and set off the sale proceeds against any amount due to the Host or loss suffered by the Host as a result of the default. Any shortfall will continue to be owed by the Customer, and any excess shall be returned to the Customer. If the Host is unable to sell the Items within 60 days, the Customer agrees that the Host may dispose of the Item as the Host sees fit.

23.TAXES

Each Member (and Hosts in particular) understands and agrees that it is solely responsible for determining its applicable tax (including but not limited to value added tax) reporting requirements in consultation with its tax advisers, if considered appropriate. Repono cannot and does not offer tax-related advice to any Member.

24.INSURANCE

Repono recommends that Users check their own insurance, if they have it, because standard policies will usually cover an individual for theft, loss or damage to his personal property even when stored elsewhere. If a Customer does not have any relevant insurance, and is concerned about loss of his property, Repono recommends that the Customer purchases appropriate coverage. Repono also recommends that each Host checks his own insurance policies to verify that his policy covers damage to his property caused by third party property being stored in a commercial transaction.

25.REPONO GUARANTEE

25.1DEFINITIONS

Capitalised terms used in this Guarantee have the meanings set out in Condition 1 (“Definitions”) of the Repono Terms and Conditions (the Conditions).

In order to make a claim under this Guarantee you must (i) be eligible to do so and (ii) make your claim in accordance with the required procedures set out in Clause 3 below. You are eligible to make a claim if, at all relevant times from the initiation of the storage transaction concerned to payment in full of your claim, you are a Customer who is in full compliance with the Conditions and your use of this Site has not been suspended or banned. Repono’s determination as to your eligibility is final. Any failure to comply with the required procedures set out in Clause 3 will invalidate your claim and Repono’s determination as to your compliance or otherwise with those procedures is final. This Guarantee is subject to the exclusions set out in Clause 4 below.

You should carefully read all of Clause 4 before storing to ensure that you do not do anything which will invalidate the Guarantee. Repono’s determination as to whether or not an exclusion invalidates your claim is final.

25.3.REQIRED PROCEDURES

Any failure by a Customer to comply with a deadline in this Clause 3 will invalidate this Guarantee.

First Steps

Condition 19 (“Hosts obligations in respect of Space”) provides that Hosts will compensate Customers in the event of loss or damage to the Item whilst in the Space. Any Customer whose Item is lost or damaged should request compensation from his Host at the time of collecting (or attempting to collect) the Item (the Collection Time). The amount of compensation requested should not exceed the value of the Item specified by the Customer in the booking request. If a Customer has reason to believe that the loss of, or damage to, the Item is a result of criminal activity, the Customer must notify the police as soon as practicable. In the event that a Host refuses to pay the compensation requested, the Customer should make a request by email to the Host concerned Assume Storer’s have their Host’s email (with a copy to Repono (info@repono.store)) for compensation and specifying the bank account details to which it should be paid. If such compensation is not paid within 168 hours (i.e., seven days) of the Collection Time (the Compensation Deadline), the Customer should contact Repono as provided under “Contact Repono” below.

Contact Repono

A Customer wishing to claim under the Guarantee must contact Repono by email (info@repono.store) as soon as possible and no later than 48 hours after the Compensation Deadline. The Customer should provide details of the lost or damaged Item, the value attributed to it, the Host concerned and any reference number provided by the police (where the loss or damage has been reported to the police). The Customer should request an acknowledgement from Repono which will normally be provided within 24 hours. This acknowledgment is not an acceptance of the claim and serves solely to identify the moment at which the claim is made.

Repono will ask any Customer making a claim under this Guarantee to complete an online questionnaire NB: you will need to create this. Among other things it must ask whether there is any relevant insurance under which a claim could be made and whether there is any reason to suspect criminal activity which should be reported to the police. to allow Repono to assess the Customer’s eligibility to make the claim and whether the claim is excluded under Clause 4 or otherwise ineligible for consideration. Repono will normally contact the Customer within 72 hours after the completed questionnaire is submitted to advise whether: the claim is not valid, in which case the reason(s) will be given; the claim is on hold and the matters which need to be resolved (for example the outcome of any criminal investigation or insurance claim) before the claim can be considered; or the claim is eligible, in which case the Customer should comply with the procedures set out under “Next Steps” below. It is the Customer’s responsibility to maintain contact with the police, Crown Prosecution Service and/or insurance company to follow the process of the investigation, criminal proceedings or claim. Once those proceedings are completed and, in the case of an insurance claim, if it is rejected, the Customer may resubmit his claim and, if it is determined to be eligible, the procedures set out under “Next Steps” below will apply.

Next Steps

A Customer with an eligible claim must submit a full claim within 30 days of being notified that he has an eligible claim. A full claim must include: the valuation attributed to the Item and, where the Item had contents, the original countersigned list of contents; a complete description of the loss or damage suffered and, where contents are involved, identification of the contents concerned; any available proof of ownership or original cost of the Item and/or contents lost or damaged; where appropriate, an estimate for the cost of repairing any damaged goods; the claimed value of any items lost or damaged (which may not be greater than £100 in aggregate); a declaration as to whether any insurance policy or other potential means of recovery exists and, if an insurance policy or other means exists but does not apply, the reasons why not; a statement giving full details and dates of what, if any, action the Customer has taken to resolve the matter, including negotiations with the Host, claims against insurance policies and police reports, and a summary of the responses received; and a declaration in the following form: “I hereby confirm that the information in this claim is true to the best of my knowledge and belief and I agree to indemnify Repono against any cost, claim, expense or other loss arising out of any incorrect statement in this claim or any omission from this claim which renders it misleading in any respect.”

Repono response

Repono will evaluate the full claim and make a final decision in respect of it within 90 days, unless this is not possible due to circumstances outside Repono’s control. As part of Repono’s evaluation of the claim, Repono may (where it reasonably believes this is necessary in connection with its evaluation of the claim) request further action from the Customer and, by making its claim, the Customer agrees to use its best efforts to comply with those requests. Following the completion of its evaluation, Repono will either make a payment (not exceeding £100) under this Guarantee or will decline to make any payment and will give its reasons for declining to the Customer.
