The Tenant Protection Agreement is not an insurance policy, rather, for additional rent, the Owner will assume liability for and pay certain losses to your stored property resulting from Owner's negligence that would otherwise be borne solely by the Occupant. You will be automatically enrolled in the Tenant Protection Agreement at the time of this rental, but your participation in the Tenant Protection Agreement is completely optional. To be removed from the Tenant Protection Agreement and receive a credit for the first month's Tenant Protection Agreement charges, please bring proof of insurance and request to be removed when you visit the property within 30 days of the original rental date. If you bring in proof of insurance and request to be removed from the Tenant Protection Agreement at any time after the first 30 days, the Tenant Protection Agreement and monthly charge in connection therewith will be discontinued on the first (1st) day of the month immediately following receipt of the proof of insurance and request to be removed ("discontinuance date"). In such instance, no refund will be issued for charges paid related to the Tenant Protection Agreement prior to the discontinuance date.
Protection Plans for Outdoor/Covered Parking Spaces for Boat/RV/Auto, etc.:
The Tenant Protection Agreement is not an insurance policy, rather, for additional rent, the Owner will assume liability for and pay certain losses to your stored property resulting from Owner's negligence that would otherwise be borne solely by the Occupant. You will be automatically enrolled in the Tenant Protection Agreement at the time of this rental, but your participation in the Tenant Protection Agreement is completely optional. The Owner will not pay for loss of or damage to the protected property that did not occur within the locked, enclosed storage facility. Items that are protected under the Protection Plan include: damage to the vehicle’s exterior (i.e. dings, dents, scrapes, and scratches), external damage to the vehicle from a burglary or attempted burglary (police report/photos required), items stored inside a locked vehicle (police report/photos/inventory list/signs of forcible entry are required), and theft and/or damage to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts. The Protection Plan will not cover items that are not permanently attached to the vehicle (i.e. grill, propane tank, generator, etc). The most the Owner will pay for loss or damage to your stored property under this Protection Plan is the Protection Plan Limit. The Owner reserves the right to cancel a tenant's Protection Plan at any time so as the Owner provides the tenant with a written, 30-day notice. To be removed from the Tenant Protection Agreement and receive a credit for the first month's Tenant Protection Agreement charges, please bring proof of insurance and request to be removed when you visit the property within 30 days of the original rental date. If you bring in proof of insurance and request to be removed from the Tenant Protection Agreement at any time after the first 30 days, the Tenant Protection Agreement and monthly charge in connection therewith will be discontinued on the first (1st) day of the month immediately following receipt of the proof of insurance and request to be removed ("discontinuance date"). In such instance, no refund will be issued for charges paid related to the Tenant Protection Agreement prior to the discontinuance date.

Changes:

DISPUTES, MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER:
Our Customer Support Department is available at [email protected] to address any concerns you may have regarding the Site. Our Customer Support Department is able to resolve most concerns quickly to our customers’ satisfaction. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with the Customer Support Department and good faith negotiations, which shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
For any dispute that is not subject to binding arbitration or otherwise as set forth in these Terms of Use, you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the federal and state courts located in the State of California, County of Orange. You further agree to accept service of process by mail, and hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.
These Terms of Use and the relationship between you and the Site shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law provisions.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
This Section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us, including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms of Use. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.
By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with US Storage Centers as follows:
Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. You can reach our Customer Support Department at [email protected]. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with our Customer Support Department, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of sixty (60) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including the Terms' or Privacy Policy's formation, performance, and breach), the parties' relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Site shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $25,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $25,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use or Privacy Policy is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in Orange County in the State of California, United States of America, and you and US Storage Centers agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Orange County, California to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND US STORAGE CENTERS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes on a class basis.
Exception. Small Claims Court Claims: Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction. Both parties also retain the right to pursue any eviction, action to enforce a lien, and/or unlawful detainer remedies or defenses in any court. You agree that US Storage Centers retains the right to conduct a lien sale.
30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to [email protected] with the subject line, "MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT." The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of the later of (a) the Effective Date of these Terms; or (b) the first date that you used the Site that contained any versions of the Terms that included this version of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver, whichever is later. Otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, US Storage Centers also will not be bound by them.

Waiver and Severability. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent possible, and the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
