1. The process starts by the Renter posting a storage request to store items.
2. Interested Hosts can search storage requests and express interest in the ones they are interested in hosting.
3. A notification is then sent to the Renter who upon payment will see the contact information (phone number and email address) of all interested Hosts.
4. The Renter will then select one of the Hosts, delivers the items to that Host and confirm through the App that items have been delivered.
5. The Host will also have to confirm that items have been delivered to get paid.

1. AMASoft Inc. operates the Storval App from Ontario, Canada.
2. The laws of Ontario, Canada apply to these Terms and Conditions and the parties submit exclusively to the courts of that province.
3. The Company is not a rental agency nor a property brokerage. We act as an intermediary for users to transact and we are not a party to any Agreement between the Renter and the Host.

5. The Renter and the Host agree to never use any payment method other than the payment method provided through Storval.
6. The Renter and the Host agree to write down and sign on the terms and rules they discussed outlining the specifics of their agreement.

1. To create a Storage Request, the Renter must describe the items to be stored, along with any conditions of storage they wish to apply. Such description may include text, pictures and details like size, location, budget and required storage start and end dates. All descriptions and information must be accurate, complete, up-to-date and truthful to the best of your knowledge and belief.
2. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for any and all Storage Requests you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that you own or have the rights and/or permission to store the items indicated on your Storage Requests which will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties.
3. In the event that the items become unavailable for any reason, you agree to remove the Storage Request as soon as possible.
4. Storage Requests that do not get any interest from Hosts will be purged from the system one day after the requested start date.
5. By selecting an interested Host to store your items, you enter into an Agreement with that particular Host and you warrant and represent that:
   • you will only store the items listed on your Storage Request,
   • you are not seeking storage of Prohibited Items,
   • you will not store any items that will interfere with the Host’s reasonable enjoyment of the rest of the premises.
   • you will obtain your own content insurance if desired.
6. The Renter undertakes to pay the set Budget using the online Payment Manager in order to get the contact information of all interested Hosts displayed on the App and be able to contact them to discuss the details.
7. If requested by the Host, the Renter has to provide suitable identification to the Host.
8. At or before the end of the storage period or after either party terminates the storage Agreement with a written Notice, the Renter must remove his stored items completely from the Host premises.

1. The Host represents and warrants that the use of the place where items will be stored:
   • Will not breach any agreements they have entered into with any third parties.
   • Will be in compliance with all applicable laws, tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any place used for storing items, including but not limited to, zoning laws and laws governing rentals of residential and other properties.
   • Will not conflict with the rights of third parties.
2. The Host is responsible to verify that the delivered items match the items described on the Storage Request and that no prohibited items are included.
3. The Host can provide any type of access to stored items in coordination with the Renter.
4. The Host can ask the Renter to provide proof of content insurance or offer to include the stored items under their existing home insurance only after reviewing and confirming with their insurance provider.
5. The Host is responsible for all damages to the stored items that would be caused by any negligent act or omission of the Host and agrees to pay reasonable compensation in the unlikely event of damage of the stored items. Reasonable compensation will normally mean paying for reasonable repairs or replacement where the stored item or part thereof is damaged beyond repair.
6. The Host is responsible for the restitution of goods stored and inventoried in the state they were in at the time of storage. The Host has the obligation to inform without delay the Renter for any loss, damage or theft he would have found on the stored items. The Host in this case is responsible for the restitution of the stored items in the condition they were at the day of delivery.
7. The Host agrees to never insist, ask, or insinuate to a Renter that he or she pay any or all of the Fees directly to Host with a check, cash, or any payment method other than by payment through the Payment Manager.

1. Upon acceptance of a Host by a Renter, Storval will receive the total amount from the Renter plus all applicable taxes. All financial transactions between the parties will be processed by a third-party electronic payment system (the “Payment Manager”) embedded in the App. By using the Payment Manager, you also confirm that you have read and agree to the terms and conditions applying to that service: https://stripe.com/ca/legal
2. Total Amount will be collected by the Payment Manager. The Rent will then be forwarded within ten (10) days to the Host after the Host confirms the delivery of items through the App.

1. As a Renter, you can not edit your Storage Request after posting it if a Host has already expressed interest in your post but you can still delete it and post a new one.
2. As a Renter, if you fail to agree with any of the interested Hosts and would like to cancel your Storage Request and get a refund, there are no fees to refund the charge, but the Payment Manager fees from the original charge are not returned.
3. As a Host, you can cancel your interest in hosting items as long as the Renter didn’t select you as Host.
4. After delivering the items and before the storage end date, either User (Host or Renter) may cancel the Agreement by providing four (4) weeks Notice in writing (by text or email) to the other party. No refund is applicable in this case.
5. As a Host, if you have reasonable suspicion that a Renter is storing Prohibited Goods or is in breach of these Terms and Conditions, you have the right to immediately terminate the Agreement and to ask the Renter to remove the items from the premises. The Host shall provide reasonable Notice and opportunity for the Renter to cure such breach or otherwise remove such items. The Host may also take steps to inform law enforcement authorities and take actions to remove the items from their property.

1. As a Renter, your items will be deemed to be ‘abandoned’ if at any time:
   • You fail to remove your items within four (4) weeks from the storage end date, or
   • You fail to extend your storage agreement with the Host within four (4) weeks from the storage end date, or
   • You fail to remove your items at the end of a notice period of four (4) weeks initiated either by you or the Host.
2. In the event that your items are deemed to be ‘abandoned’ you acknowledge and agree that:
   • The Host may dispose or dump your items at the curb or at a waste facility, or
   • Sell any or all of your abandoned items.
3. You agree to indemnify the Company, its directors, mentors, agents and employees as well as the Host from all damages, claims, action or liability that may eventuate from dealing with your abandoned items.
4. Despite the above, the Host and the Renter can come up with their own terms and how to handle the abandonment of the Renters’ storage items.

1. The Host is responsible to hold comprehensive home and contents insurance on the property in which the items are stored. The Company recommends that the Host informs and confirms with their insurance provider the extension/restriction of their insurance policy under the terms of the Agreement with the Renter.
2. The Renter is advised to get their own content insurance to cover their stored items or discuss with the Host if stored items can be insured under their existing home and contents insurance policy.
