CLASSIC CAR SAFE LLP (the “Company”) STORAGE SERVICES TERMS AND CONDITIONS (the “Terms”)

These Terms are the sole and exclusive terms on which the Company supplies services and constitute the only basis upon which the Company will supply such services. Where a Letter Agreement (defined below) is entered into between the parties, the Letter Agreement together with these Terms (together a “Contract”) will constitute a formal and binding contract between the parties. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a Letter Agreement the terms of the Letter Agreement shall take precedence. The terms of the Contract shall apply as between the parties in respect of the matters described in the Letter Agreement to the exclusion of all other terms (including any terms and conditions that the Customer (defined below) purports to apply). Any attempt by the Customer to impose any other terms or conditions is hereby explicitly and expressly deemed automatically rejected in advance (and any such terms or conditions are likewise deemed automatically rejected in advance) and will be (and is) wholly ineffective and non-binding on the Company.

Each Contract entered into between the parties constitutes a separate contract. There is no need for the Company to issue the Customer with duplicate copies of these Terms each time the Customer enters into a new Contract. Failure to provide a copy of these Terms with each or any subsequent Contract entered into shall not in any way prejudice the fact that these Terms are fully binding on the Customer and shall, in addition to the relevant Contract, govern your relationship with the Company as a whole.
