Below is a copy of the storage contract that all customers must agree to (ESPECIALLY TERM 4.) and sign before firearms are accepted for storage. If you cannot agree to this contract or its terms then I cannot store your gun(s) for you. I have been forced to take this stance due to people abusing my good will:

 3.1     The Owner may terminate this Agreement in respect of all or any of the Gun(s) at any time before the Storage Expiry Date by giving not less than 24 hours’ notice to the Dealer, paying all outstanding storage charges accrued to the date of collection and by collecting his Gun(s) from the Dealer.

 3.3       If the Owner permanently withdraws any Gun from storage part way through any month or year, the Owner will not be entitled to any refund of charges paid in advance in respect of that Gun.

 3.4      The Owner must collect the Gun(s) promptly on termination of storage (whether pursuant to this paragraph or to paragraph 2) and shall remain liable to the Dealer for storage charges at the agreed rate from the date of termination of this Agreement until collection or sale of the Gun(s).

 4.       Dealer’s right to sell Gun(s)

 4.1     Subject to paragraph 4.2, the Owner hereby authorises the Dealer (as the Owners agent) to sell all or any of the Gun(s) on its behalf (and to pass good title therein to a purchaser) in the following circumstances:

   (a) if any storage charges remain unpaid for more than 3 calendar months after their due date and the Dealer has terminated this             Agreement pursuant to paragraph 3.2 ; or
 (b) if the Owner has failed to collect the Gun(s) in accordance with Agreement on or within 28 days after the relevant Storage Expiry Date.

 4.2    The Dealer agrees with the Owner that it will not sell any of the Gun(s) in the circumstances set out in paragraph  4.1 above unless it has served on the Owner not less 3 calendar months’ prior notice in writing (“Sale Notice”) stating its intention to sell all or any of the Gun(s), the reasons for the sale and the proposed date of sale.

 4.3    The Dealer will, in selling all or any of the Gun(s) pursuant to paragraph 4.1, adopt the best method of sale reasonably available in the circumstances and will apply the net proceeds (after deduction of all the Dealer’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in arranging the sale) in settlement of all unpaid storage charges accrued up to the date of sale (together with simple interest thereon at 2% over Barclays Bank plc’s base lending rate in force from time to time) during that period. Any surplus net sale proceeds (after all deductions referred to above) will be held in trust for the Owner but if not claimed by the Owner within 6 years after the date of service of the Sale Notice, shall become the absolute property of the Dealer.

 5        Notices

 5.1    Any notice or other communication from the Dealer to the Owner for the purposes or paragraphs 3 or 4, must be in writing and will be validly served if sent to the Owner’s address set out at the head of this Agreement (or to such other address as the Owner shall communicate to the Dealer in writing for this purpose, it being the Owner’s responsibility to communicate changes of address to the Dealer).

 5.2     Any such notice or other communication may only be served by recorded delivery mail and shall be deemed to be properly served 48 hours after the envelope containing the notice was posted to the Owner’s service address with correct postage pre-paid.
