By signing this agreement, Customer acknowledges the importance of obtaining insurance for all property to be delivered or stored (“property”) and has either voluntarily elected not to obtain insurance or has obtained insurance. Should any items insured against damages require repair or restoration, the Company retains the exclusive right to select the provider of the repair or restoration, which may be the Company itself, or a third party.

IX. The Company is only responsible for delivering the property to the destination address. The Company may place the property within the confines of the destination address at the Customer’s direction, however, the Company retains the right to refuse placing the property within the confines of the destination address to avoid the unnecessary risk of causing damage to the property, to the destination address, or to any structures or other property on the destination address. If the Company, the Company’s employees, or any agents of the Company determine that the risk of causing damage to either the property or the destination address is too great to either enter the destination address, place the property within the destination address, or place the property within certain confines of the destination address, then the Customer may still direct the Company to do so after the Customer has elected to assume any and all risk of damage to the property or the destination address by signing the “High-Risk Move-In Liability Waiver.” Regardless of whether the Company places any property within the destination address, with or without a signed “High Risk Move-In Liability Waiver,” the Customer is still responsible for paying the full delivery fee, so long as the Company delivers the property to the destination address.

If a Customer accepts delivery without notifying the Company of the damage at the time of acceptance, the property is considered received in good condition, whether inspected or uninspected. If neither a Customer nor any of his agents physically accepts delivery, but instead the delivery is merely left at Customer’s location with no human present, Customer has 24 hours from the time of delivery to notify Company of damage or Customer waives any claim to damage caused by the Company.

The word “or” when used in a list of more than two items may function as both a conjunction and a disjunction as the context requires or permits.
