CONDITIONS

Under Insurance

If the sum insured is less than the actual value of your property at the time of loss, then you will only be entitled to be paid that proportion of the loss which the sum insured bears to the value of the property removed and/or stored.

Pairs and Sets

It is the intention to pay the actual value of individual items. It is not the intention to pay for items which are not affected. If, therefore, a claim is made for an item which is part of a pair or set, then Insurers will only pay the actual value of that item in isolation. The payment will be made without reference to any particular value the item might have acquired simply because it is part of a pair or set.

Insurers Rights

Subject to payment of the actual value of a damaged item by Insurers, they may at their discretion take over ownership of the property. No property may be abandoned to Insurers.

Fraud

If a claim is fraudulent in any way, it will not be paid. The personal self storage insurance will be deemed not to have attached and no premium will be refunded.

Jurisdiction

The parties to this contract have the right to choose the law that should apply. Insurers choose to apply English Law except for those customers who at inception of the contract are domiciled in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Channel Islands or Isle of Man where their own law will apply.

Any claim under the personal self storage insurance policy must be advised in detail to Security Self Storage in writing within seven days of discovery of damage/loss. However if you arrange your own collection from store then any claim must be notified at the time of departure.
