Terms & Conditions

Last updated: July 2026

1. About Us

Morris Safe Storage Solutions is operated by Tony Morris, trading from Wadebridge Farm, Landwade Road, Newmarket, CB8 7NE. By renting a storage unit from us, you agree to the following terms and conditions.

2. Rental Agreement

Storage is provided on a month-to-month basis. No minimum contract period is required. Either party may terminate the agreement by giving a minimum of 1 month's written notice. The rental period begins on the date of first payment and renews monthly until notice is given.

3. Deposit

A refundable deposit of £50.00 is required upon signing the agreement. This will be returned to the hirer upon termination of the contract, provided the unit, padlock, and key are returned in good condition and all sums owed have been paid. We reserve the right to deduct from the deposit any amounts owing or costs incurred as a result of damage.

4. Payment

Rental fees are due monthly in advance, payable by bank transfer. If no payment is received for a period of 3 months or more, we reserve the right to change the locks and take legal action to recover sums owed. We also reserve the right to remove and sell goods from the unit to recover outstanding debt. Rental fees may be reviewed no more than once every 12 months, with 1 month's written notice of any change.

5. Access

Access to the facility is available 7 days a week between 08:00 and 20:00, subject to a minimum of 30 minutes' prior notice. We reserve the right to access any unit in the event of an emergency, for health and safety reasons, or where we have reasonable grounds to suspect a breach of these terms.

6. Padlock & Keys

A padlock and key will be provided by us at the start of the agreement. We will retain one key for security purposes. The hirer is responsible for returning the padlock and keys in good condition at the end of the agreement. The locking system must not be changed or tampered with. Any lost or damaged locks or keys must be replaced like-for-like by the hirer at their own cost.

7. Prohibited Items

The following items must not be stored in our units under any circumstances:

• Hazardous, flammable, explosive, or toxic materials — including car batteries, volatile liquids, compressed gas, firearms, and ammunition
• Illegal or counterfeit goods
• Perishable goods or anything that may attract vermin
• Any item that gives off fumes, smell, or odour
• Animals or living creatures

Vehicles and trailers must not be left unattended at the site during the day or overnight. Breach of this clause may result in immediate termination of the agreement without refund and referral to the relevant authorities where appropriate.

8. Insurance & Liability

It is the responsibility of the hirer to secure and insure the contents of their unit. Morris Safe Storage Solutions does not provide insurance cover for stored contents and accepts no liability for loss, theft, or damage to any items stored on the premises, howsoever caused. Customers are strongly advised to arrange their own insurance prior to storing. Some home contents insurance policies extend to items in storage — please check your policy. Specialist self storage insurance is also widely available.

9. Customer Responsibilities

The hirer agrees to keep the unit in good repair and make good any damage caused during the rental period. The unit must not be sublet or made available to a third party without prior written consent from Morris Safe Storage Solutions. The hirer must not dispose of or tamper with the unit in any way.

10. Abandoned or Uncollected Goods

If the rental agreement is terminated due to non-payment or the hirer vacates without removing their belongings, we reserve the right to remove and sell goods from the unit to recover any outstanding sums owed. We will make reasonable attempts to contact the hirer prior to doing so. Any surplus from a sale will be returned to the hirer where contact details are available.

11. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update these terms and conditions at any time. Customers will be notified of any material changes with reasonable notice. Continued use of the storage facility following notification constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

12. Governing Law

These terms and conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
