(b) To the extent any goods are stored at the Facility, regardless of the total square footage, Maquette shall charge a monthly flat charge (the “Flat Charge”) plus a storage charge based on the square footage stored at the Facility, as described more fully below. For the first month of storage, Maquette shall charge the Flat Charge plus the storage charge based on the initial estimated square footage of goods to be stored at the Facility at the monthly storage rate (the “Initial Estimated Storage Charge”).

To the extent the Prior Storage is less than the Initial Estimated Storage Charge or the Estimated Storage Charge for the prior month, whichever is applicable (the “Prior Estimated Storage Charge”), the Estimated Storage Charge shall be reduced by the difference between the Prior Estimated Storage Charge and the Prior Storage. To the extent the Prior Storage is greater than the Prior Estimated Storage Charge, the Estimated Storage Charge shall be increased by the difference between the Prior Storage and the Prior Estimated Storage Charge.  (c) All rates and charges are subject to an annual escalation of up to 4% unless otherwise agreed in writing by Maquette.  (d) In addition to the monthly storage charge, the Customer shall pay: (i) a late charge of $25.00 for any month in which the monthly charges are more than ten (10) days late, (ii) an additional late charge of $25.00 for each full or partial month thereafter until the overdue charges are paid in full, (iii) a $25.00 charge for any payment returned uncollected, (iv) interest at a rate of two percent (2%) per month on any overdue charges, and (v) other charges as described in the Agreement. (e) Maquette may increase the monthly storage charge or any other charge at the beginning of any month. Maquette shall give not less than forty-five (45) days written notice of the increase to the Customer by mailing it to the Customer’s Mailing Address. (f) Maquette shall invoice the Customer in advance for any recurring charges, such as monthly storage charges and Valuation.

However, Maquette reserves the right, and may, in its sole discretion, require payment from the Customer for Services prior to performance of said Services by or on behalf of Maquette.  (g) The Customer shall at all times maintain a valid credit card on file with Maquette.

(b) In consideration of the rates charged by Maquette, Maquette’s liability, if any, to the Customer for any and all Services provided by or on behalf of Maquette shall be limited to the amount of actual loss or damage, repair costs, or two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) per warehouse receipt, bill of lading, or other similar document, whichever is less. (the “Standard Liability Limitation”), unless the Customer procures “Valuation” in accordance with subsections (c) and (d) below. (c) If the Customer wants to procure Valuation for any goods while in Maquette’s care, custody, and control, the Customer must make a written request on Maquette’s pre-addressed request form, which is available upon request, and incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement, that (i) identifies the goods for Valuation (the “Declared Goods”); (ii) states the value of the Declared Goods (the “Declared Value”); (iii) represents and warrants that the Declared Value does not exceed the actual market value of the Declared Goods at the time of tender to Maquette or at the time of request, whichever is higher; (iv) declares the requested valuation for the Declared Goods (the “Declared Limit”); (v) accepts the deductible for Valuation, if applicable; and (vi) states that the Customer shall pay all costs for Valuation for the Declared Goods.

(e) In the absence of a written request and full payment in compliance with subsections (c) and (d) above for Valuation, the Customer shall have elected the Standard Liability Limitation set forth in subsection (b) above to apply to Maquette’s liability, if any, for any loss or damage to goods or delay to a shipment of goods. (f) Where the Customer’s goods are transported by interstate motor carriage, the Agreement shall constitute the entire contract of carriage between the Customer and Maquette. The Customer further agrees to waive any and all rights and remedies under Title 49, Subtitle IV, Part B of the U.S. Code, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 14101, and agrees that its exclusive remedy for breach of the Agreement shall be an action filed in accordance with the “Jurisdiction and Venue” section herein.

All notices or other communications required by these terms and conditions must be in writing and either electronically transmitted by email with confirmation by the other party of receipt of notice or personally delivered, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by other delivery that provides proof of delivery to Maquette’s Mailing Address or the Customer’s Mailing Address, whichever is applicable, unless otherwise set forth herein.

28. No Waiver of Agreement Terms

(a) If Maquette does not take action for non-compliance of the Agreement by the Customer, such inaction shall not prevent Maquette from taking action in response to future non-compliance by the Customer. Acceptance by Maquette for charges with knowledge of non-compliance by the Customer shall not be a waiver of non-compliance and shall not stop Maquette from demanding compliance by the Customer. (b) Maquette’s acceptance of any partial payment shall not be a waiver of the balance of charges, a waiver of the full payment of any future charges, or a waiver of any of Maquette’s rights or remedies for the Customer’s failure to make full payment, even if the payment is made with a memo stating, “payment in full,” “full and final settlement,” “paid in full,” or other similar language. (c) Maquette’s acceptance of any partial payment shall not constitute as “accord and satisfaction” of any unpaid charges, even if the payment is made with a memo stating, “payment in full,” “full and final settlement,” “paid in full,” or other similar language.

29. Legal Compliance

(a) The Customer hereby acknowledges that it is the responsibility and duty of the Customer to know and comply with all applicable laws, statutes, regulations, treaties, and conventions.  (b)  Maquette shall not be liable for any action taken or any fine or penalty assessed by any government agency against the Customer on account of Maquette’s failure to comply with such laws, statutes, treaties, and conventions, except as provided in the “Liability of Maquette” section herein.  (c)  The Customer further acknowledges that it is the sole responsibility and duty of the Customer to maintain all records required by such laws, statutes, regulations, treaties, and conventions. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between Maquette and the Customer, Maquette shall only keep those records that it is required to maintain by law, statute, regulation, treaty, or convention, but not as a “record-keeper” or “record-keeping agent” for the Customer.

30. Assignment

The Customer shall not assign the Agreement by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the President of Maquette and payment in full of all outstanding charges to Maquette. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section shall, in the sole discretion of Maquette, terminate the Agreement.

31. Invalidity

If any provision of the Agreement is determined to be void, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected, valid, and enforceable in full force and effect. If a court finds that any provision of the Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would become valid and enforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.

32. Heading

Headings and sections in these terms and conditions are inserted for convenience only and shall not govern or change any of the terms and conditions herein.

33. Biding Effect of Agreement

The Agreement shall bind and benefit Maquette and the Customer.

34. Final Understanding

The Agreement states the entire agreement between Maquette and the Customer for the Services provided by or on behalf of Maquette, and supersedes and replaces all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, and negotiations, including, but not limited to, any terms and conditions contained on invoices, bills of lading, waybills, warehouse agreements, storage agreements, warehouse receipts, pickup and delivery receipts, transportation agreements, contracts of carriage, service agreements, installment agreements, and any other similar document, that are contrary to the terms and conditions set forth herein, unless Maquette and the Customer have entered into another agreement that has been duly executed by the President of Maquette and the Customer, to which only the terms and conditions herein that do not conflict with that agreement shall be valid and enforceable. There are no other representations, promises, agreements, or understandings between Maquette and the Customer that are not specifically contained in the Agreement. Any modification to the Agreement must be signed by the President of Maquette and the Customer. Any representations, promises, agreements, understandings, or waivers not contained in the Agreement shall not be effective unless in writing and signed by the President of Maquette and the Customer, except for increases in charges, of which the Customer shall be notified in accordance with the “Billing and Payment” section herein.
