Article 5. DESTINATION AND USE RENTAL

Landlord lets the Tenant storage space or a storage container in accordance with the provisions of the “Oomen Storage Agreement” for the sole purpose of storing (permitted) goods.
The rented object is known under the container number that can be found in My Oomen Storage and in the confirmation. The rented object is known to the parties and they do not require any further description of it.
During the term of the agreement the renter is obliged to keep the rented object in good condition and without defects, except for normal wear and tear and ageing.
The renter is obliged to use the rented object in accordance with article 1.1 of the agreement. The Hirer is not permitted to give the Subjects any other purpose.
The Contract is personal and the Hirer agrees that it is forbidden to transfer the Contract to third parties without the prior written consent of the Landlord. The right to use the Subjects may only be exercised by the Tenant.
The Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that nothing in the Contract or the General Conditions may be interpreted as granting the Tenant a right of ownership or any other right in rem over the Subjects. Furthermore, the Landlord shall never act as keeper, guardian or custodian of the Leased Premises and/or the goods stored therein by the Tenant.
The Tenant shall be obliged to use the Leased Premises in such a way as not to contravene the Contract, the General Conditions, any law, any

local ordinance or a regulation of the government, utilities and insurers.

The Tenant may not cause any hindrance or nuisance when using the building or complex of which the Subjects form part.

The Tenant must always lock the Subjects properly.
The Tenant understands and accepts the safety and security level of the Subjects and the complex in which the Subjects are located. Landlord is not liable for Tenant’s safety and security expectations.
All dimensions of the Rented are estimates. Any deviation between the actual size of a storage unit and the size indicated in the Agreement does not give either party any right and can never result in a price adjustment.
Tenant is not entitled to the use of any specific storage unit. Landlord shall at all times have the right to propose an alternative storage space as well as the right to require Tenant to move the goods to the proposed alternative storage space, provided that prior notice is given observing at least 14 days.

Article 6. PERSONAL DATA.

If Tenant is a natural person, upon entering into the Agreement, by signing it, Tenant provides permission to Landlord to include/process Tenant’s personal data in a file.
Tenant is responsible for complying with provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG). Tenant must take this into account when storing privacy-sensitive items such as -but not limited to- medical records and/or attorney files. Landlord is not familiar with the contents of the Rented Property.

Article 7. RETURNS AND RETURNS RENTED

The Tenant confirms by signing the Agreement that the Tenant has visited and inspected the Rented Property, that the Rented Property is suitable for the legal and agreed purpose and use that the Tenant expects to make of it, and that the Tenant accepts the Rented Property in good condition. If the Tenant did not have the opportunity to inspect the Subjects when it signed the Agreement (digitally or otherwise), the Tenant must notify the Landlord immediately in writing of any damage or defects to the Subjects.
At the end of the Agreement, the Tenant shall be obliged to return the Subjects to the Landlord clean, completely vacated, unlocked, swept clean and in the same condition as on the commencement date of the Agreement (all this subject to normal wear and tear). If the Tenant fails to do so, the Tenant shall reimburse the Landlord for the costs incurred by the Landlord in order to repair any damage.
All goods left behind by the Tenant in the Leased Premises after the termination of the Lease shall be deemed to have been either surrendered by the Tenant to the Landlord ‘free of charge’ or surrendered (res derelicta), at the Landlord’s option. The abandoned property will be removed by Landlord at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall remain fully liable for all costs and damages resulting from the abandonment of such property. Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized by Tenant to sell its goods, if any.

Article 8. INVOICE AND PAYMENT OF RENT

The rental price is taxed with VAT and amounts to the amount agreed upon during the (online) order. The initial rental price can be found in the confirmation.
Landlord invoices monthly unless otherwise agreed upon.
Landlord may, in its sole discretion, prepare paper or electronic invoices for sending invoices and use the e-mail address provided by Tenant for that purpose.
Payment of the Rent due shall be made in advance by direct debit, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
Rent is collected each month approximately 7 days before the start of the next rental period.
If the direct debit has failed for any reason, the amount due must be credited no later than 3 days before the start of the next rental period.
Per failed or reversed collection, tenant will owe €15 in administrative costs.
If no Rent has been agreed upon, Landlord shall be entitled to a Rent to be determined in equity and fairness.

Article 9. CHANGE IN RENT

Landlord is entitled to unilaterally adjust the Rent each year on January 1 and July 1.
Tenant accepts in advance an adjustment of the Rent referred to in the first paragraph if the increase in the Rent is equal to or less than inflation + 10% on an annual basis. If the increase in the Rent is higher, the Tenant is entitled to terminate the Lease in writing – within 14 days after the Landlord sends the Tenant a written notice of rent adjustment – as of the day on which the adjusted Rent applies, and subject to the applicable provisions in Article 17 of these Terms and Conditions.
A discount given to the Tenant shall not affect the Landlord’s right to adjust the Rent.

Article 10. DELAY

The Tenant shall be in default immediately, without notice of default, by the mere expiry of a specified period, including the period within which the monthly rent must be paid, or by an actual conduct of the Tenant that is contrary to the Contract, the General Terms and Conditions and/or the law.
The Landlord shall send a payment reminder after the expiry of the payment term and shall give the Tenant the opportunity to still pay within 14 days after receipt of this payment reminder. If after the expiry of the term set in the payment reminder has still not been paid, the Landlord shall be entitled to charge the statutory interest from the expiry of the payment term, as well as the extrajudicial collection costs reasonably incurred by it. The amount of these extrajudicial collection costs is subject to legal limits.

In the event of non-timely payment of the Rent by Tenant who is not a consumer, the extrajudicial collection costs due will be at least 15% of the unpaid amount. The foregoing shall apply without prejudice to the Landlord’s right to charge the Tenant for any higher costs incurred by it.

If the Landlord feels compelled to institute legal proceedings against the Tenant, all costs involved, including in any case the costs incurred by the Landlord for legal assistance and the costs of the proceedings, shall be payable in full by the Tenant.
If the Tenant is in default, the Landlord shall have the rights referred to in Article 17 of the General Conditions, including the right to lock up the Subjects by means of an additional lock of which only the Landlord has the key. The Landlord shall also be entitled to undo the access PIN to the complex of which the Subjects form part. The Tenant will subsequently only be able to gain access to the Subjects by fulfilling its obligations.
If the Tenant is in default of the Contract or the General Conditions, other than late payment of the rent, the Tenant will forfeit to the Landlord an immediately payable penalty as provided for in the Contract. The foregoing is without prejudice to Landlord’s right to full damages to the extent that the damages suffered exceed the forfeited penalty.

Article 11. SECURITY DEPOSIT, EXPENSES AND PENALTIES

If agreed upon, Tenant shall deliver a deposit to Landlord. Tenant shall not be entitled to set off any amount against the security deposit, nor to any interest.
Landlord may recover from this security deposit all unpaid rental payments, fees and costs resulting from a failure to comply with the Agreement or the General Conditions.
As soon as the Landlord has claimed the security deposit, the Tenant shall be obliged to immediately provide a new security deposit or to supplement the security deposit to the aforementioned amount.
If the Rented Property is not handed over by the Tenant in the same condition (at least clean and tidy) as when the Agreement commenced, the Landlord shall clean the Rented Property at the Tenant’s expense. The costs of this will be at least €50 excluding VAT.
Goods left behind in the Rented Property, within the premises or on the Landlord’s premises will be removed by the Landlord at the Tenant’s expense. This is subject to a minimum of €80 per m3 excluding VAT, with a minimum charge of €250 excluding VAT per time.

Renovation and/or repair/maintenance work of or to the Subjects shall not constitute a breach of contract by the Landlord, even if such work on the one hand (temporarily) restricts or prevents the enjoyment and use of the Subjects and on the other hand causes the Landlord to gain access to the Subjects. The Tenant shall tolerate the renovation and/or repair/maintenance work and give the Landlord the opportunity to do so, without being entitled to a reduction in the rent or any other payment obligation, full or partial dissolution of the Lease and/or damages as a result of the renovation and/or the work.
The Tenant shall take the necessary precautions in order to prevent damage to the Rented Property or the property of third parties. In the event of damage to the property of third parties or Landlord’s property, Landlord shall at all times be entitled to perform remedial work at Tenant’s expense. Tenant agrees to pay the invoices for such remedial work within 7 days of the mailing of an invoice.
In the event that Landlord requires access to the Leased Premises or if the property stored by Tenant in the Leased Premises needs to be moved from the Leased Premises for the purposes set forth above, Landlord will notify Tenant if time and circumstances permit. If necessary, Landlord shall request Tenant to move the goods to another storage area within a reasonable time.

Article 15. LIABILITY

The goods stored in the Rented are entirely at the risk of the Tenant. The Landlord has no knowledge of the kind and nature of the goods stored in the Leased Premises, nor does it exercise any control thereon. Liability of Landlord for damage to goods of Tenant is in principle excluded, unless there is intent or conscious recklessness of Landlord. Tenant is aware that storage units in automatic self-storage or, in case of delivery, may move by road. Tenant must set up the storage unit in such a way that the contents cannot be damaged during movement.
Landlord is, except in case of gross fault or gross negligence, not liable for direct or indirect damage caused to the person or goods of Tenant or third parties by:

visible and invisible defects to the Rented Property or the complex of which the Rented Property is a part;

The Tenant shall at all times be liable for all damage that the Landlord might suffer as a result of the inspections or checks.
If more than one (natural or legal) person has undertaken to be the Tenant, they shall always be jointly and severally liable to the Landlord for all obligations arising from the Contract and the General Conditions.
The Tenant agrees that given (a) the availability of insurance to protect the value of the goods stored in the Rented Property, (b) the fact that the Landlord does not have access to the Rented Property to verify the Tenant’s use of the Rented Property, (c) the fact that the Landlord does not have the opportunity to correctly assess the risk, and (d) the potentially large difference between the rent/fees paid by the Tenant and the damages that the Tenant may suffer, the exclusions and limitations of liability in this Article 13 are fair and reasonable.

Article 16. INSURANCE

Tenant is required to take out cargo insurance for all goods that Tenant stores in the Leased Premises. Landlord has no knowledge of and does not purchase insurance for anything stored in the Leased Premises.
Tenant is fully responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the amount and type of coverage insured and the declaration of the nature of the goods with the relevant insurer.
Landlord cannot be held liable if, in the event of damage, it appears that the nature of the goods, or the extent of the sum insured or the nature of the coverage results in a lower payment than the actual extent of the damage.
The insurance must contain an article in favor of Landlord pursuant to which the insurer waives all rights of recovery against Landlord, Landlord’s insurers and contractual partners. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, Landlord’s insurers and contractual partners against any claims for recovery by Tenant’s insurers.
Tenant shall provide a statement of indemnification to Landlord within 14 days of the commencement date of the Lease indemnifying Landlord from liabilities in the event of any damage or loss.

Article 17. PANDRECT

The movable property stored in the Leased Premises shall serve as additional security for all that Tenant owes and/or will owe to Landlord. In connection therewith, the storage of movable property in the Leased Premises establishes a pledge for all claims which the Landlord has or will have against the Tenant and/or the Owner.

Tenant represents that it has no prior rights to the aforementioned items and that it is authorized to create the lien referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article for the benefit of Landlord.
If the Tenant is married or has a registered partner and stores (also) his/her goods in the Rented Property, then by entering into the Agreement, the consent of the other spouse/registered partner is granted for the pledge of his/her goods.
With respect to the existence and amount of the debt owed to Landlord, Landlord’s records shall serve as evidence, subject to evidence to the contrary from Tenant.
Sale of any Collateral shall be made at Landlord’s expense in the manner provided by law, or if agreed upon, privately.
Landlord will not accept a lien on items that, in its judgment, are worthless; the lien established will then be deemed to have expired.
The establishment of a lien shall not affect Landlord’s right to take other collection measures.

Article 18. COMMUNICATIONS
