STORAGE LICENSE AGREEMENT
SHORT-TERM REVOCABLE LICENSE FOR OPEN-YARD STORAGE

This Storage License Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of ______________ ("Effective Date"), by and between:

PROPERTY OWNER: ______________ ("Owner")

and

LICENSEE: ______________ ("Licensee")

Owner and Licensee may each be referred to as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."

1. LICENSED AREA

Owner is the owner or authorized operator of the property located at: ______________ (the "Property").

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Owner grants Licensee a limited, temporary, personal, revocable license ("License") to place and store the property identified in the booking within the portion of the Property designated by Owner (the "Licensed Area").

The Licensed Area is an open yard and is not a building, enclosed warehouse, storage unit, dwelling, or other enclosed storage facility. The precise location within the yard may be designated by Owner and may be changed by Owner upon reasonable notice to Licensee.

2. LICENSE – NOT A LEASE

The Parties expressly intend and agree that this Agreement creates a temporary license and not a lease, tenancy, easement, possessory interest, or other interest in real property. Licensee receives only a limited contractual privilege to use the Licensed Area for the specific storage purpose stated in this Agreement. Licensee does not receive exclusive possession of the Licensed Area.

Owner retains possession, control, and dominion over the Property and may enter, inspect, access, relocate, reconfigure, maintain, repair, or otherwise use the Licensed Area and surrounding Property at any time.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to: create a landlord-tenant relationship; create a tenancy at will, month-to-month tenancy, or tenancy for years; grant Licensee exclusive possession; grant Licensee any right to exclude Owner or third parties authorized by Owner; constitute a conveyance of an interest in real property; or create any right of renewal or continued occupancy.

The Parties intend that the License be interpreted and enforced as a license to use property, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

3. TERM

The License shall commence on ______________ and shall expire automatically on ______________ ("Expiration Date"). The License is expressly short-term and temporary. Licensee shall have no right to remain on or use the Licensed Area after the Expiration Date.

Any extension or renewal must be expressly agreed to through a new booking on the FlexYard platform accepted by Owner. Continued use or acceptance of payment shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, constitute a renewal, extension, or license.

4. REVOCABILITY

The License is revocable by Owner in accordance with this Agreement and applicable law. Owner may revoke the License upon written notice to Licensee if Licensee breaches this Agreement; fails to pay any amount when due; stores unauthorized property; engages in a prohibited use; creates a safety, environmental, fire, security, or other hazard; causes or threatens damage to the Property; fails to maintain required insurance; if governmental authorities require termination or modification of the storage arrangement; if Owner reasonably determines that continued storage is inconsistent with the operation, safety, or use of the Property; or upon any other circumstance that permits termination under this Agreement or applicable law.

Except in circumstances requiring immediate termination, Owner shall provide Licensee with thirty (30) days' written notice of revocation. Where Owner reasonably determines that an immediate threat to persons, property, or the environment exists, Owner may revoke the License immediately to the extent permitted by law.

5. LICENSE FEE

Licensee shall pay Owner a license fee of $________ per [day/week/month/term] (the "License Fee"), paid through the FlexYard platform, which processes payment on Owner's behalf. Payment of the License Fee is consideration for the limited license granted under this Agreement and is not rent.

6. FEE HOLD AUTHORIZATION

No fee hold applies to this booking.

The fee hold authorization does not limit Licensee's liability for amounts exceeding the fee hold.

7. PERMITTED STORAGE

Licensee may store only the property described in the booking. The property shall remain in substantially the same condition and configuration unless Owner provides prior written authorization. Licensee shall not use the Licensed Area for any purpose other than the approved storage of the identified property. No business, manufacturing, repair, processing, sales, customer activity, residential activity, or other use may be conducted in the Licensed Area.

8. PROHIBITED PROPERTY

Licensee shall not store any of the following without Owner's express written consent: hazardous materials; explosives, fireworks, or ammunition; firearms or weapons; flammable, combustible, corrosive, toxic, radioactive, or explosive substances; fuel, gasoline, diesel, oil, or petroleum products; chemicals, pesticides, or regulated substances; hazardous or regulated waste; perishable food or other materials likely to attract pests; illegal goods or contraband; animals or livestock; stolen property; property that creates excessive noise, odors, dust, vibration, leakage, or environmental risk; property that violates any applicable law or governmental requirement; or any property that Owner reasonably determines presents a risk to persons or property. Owner may require immediate removal of any prohibited or unauthorized property.

9. CONDITION OF STORED PROPERTY

Licensee represents that all property stored on the Licensed Area is lawfully owned or controlled by Licensee; is not stolen or subject to any undisclosed legal restriction; does not contain hazardous materials except as expressly disclosed and approved; is suitable for outdoor storage; and can safely remain outdoors without creating an unreasonable risk to the Property or third parties.

Licensee acknowledges that the Licensed Area is an outdoor, open-air yard and that property stored there may be exposed to rain, snow, ice, wind, sunlight, heat, cold, moisture, flooding, dirt, dust, insects, animals, and other environmental conditions.

10. ACCESS

Licensee may access the Licensed Area only during the hours stated in the listing. Owner may modify access hours for security, maintenance, emergency, operational, or other reasonable purposes. Access outside authorized hours requires Owner's prior approval. Owner may require Licensee to comply with reasonable gate, parking, identification, security, and access procedures.

11. NO EXCLUSIVE POSSESSION

Licensee acknowledges that Owner, Owner's employees, contractors, agents, invitees, governmental authorities, and other persons authorized by Owner may enter the Property and Licensed Area. Owner may inspect the stored property and Licensed Area at reasonable times. Owner may enter without advance notice in an emergency or where Owner reasonably believes that a violation, hazardous condition, damage, unauthorized activity, or other urgent circumstance exists.

12. RELOCATION OF STORED PROPERTY

Owner may require Licensee to relocate stored property within the Property upon reasonable notice when reasonably necessary for maintenance, construction, safety, security, access, governmental requirements, or operational reasons. Licensee shall promptly comply with a relocation request. If relocation is necessary because of Licensee's breach, unauthorized use, or unsafe condition, Licensee shall bear all reasonable costs of relocation.

13. NO ALTERATIONS

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Licensee shall maintain Commercial General Liability Insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. If vehicles are stored on the Property, Licensee shall maintain automobile liability insurance of not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit. Owner may require additional insurance based upon the nature or value of the property being stored.

If employees, workers, or contractors will perform services at the Premises, Licensee shall maintain Workers' Compensation insurance at statutory limits as required by applicable law, together with Employers' Liability coverage of not less than $500,000, or such greater amount as required by law or Owner.

15. CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE

Before accessing the Licensed Area, Licensee shall provide a certificate of insurance evidencing the required coverage.

The certificate shall identify Owner and any other party designated by Owner as an Additional Insured on a primary and non-contributory basis with respect to liability arising from Licensee's use of the Premises. The required coverage shall remain in effect throughout the entire Term. Failure to maintain or provide evidence of required insurance constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

16. LICENSEE'S PROPERTY STORED AT SOLE RISK

All property placed or stored on the Licensed Area is stored solely at Licensee's risk. Owner does not provide warehousing, safekeeping, security, custodial, bailee, or storage services for Licensee's property. Owner shall not be responsible for loss of or damage to Licensee's property resulting from theft, vandalism, weather, wind, rain, snow, flooding, fire, animals, insects, unauthorized third parties, falling objects, utility interruption, natural deterioration, or other causes, except to the extent liability cannot lawfully be excluded. Licensee is solely responsible for obtaining property insurance covering the full replacement value of all stored property.

17. SECURITY

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, Owner does not represent or warrant that the Property is secure or that theft, vandalism, trespass, or other criminal activity will not occur.

Nothing in this provision shall require Licensee to indemnify Owner for Owner's own negligence or willful misconduct to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

22. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW

Licensee shall comply with all applicable federal, state, county, municipal, zoning, environmental, fire, safety, and other laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, and governmental requirements, and shall obtain all permits, registrations, licenses, and approvals required for the storage or use of the stored property. Owner's approval of storage does not constitute governmental approval.

23. DEFAULT

Each of the following constitutes a default: failure to pay the License Fee; failure to maintain required insurance; storage of unauthorized property; violation of any material provision of this Agreement; illegal activity; damage to the Property; creation of a hazardous or unsafe condition; unauthorized assignment or transfer of the License; or failure to remove property when required. Upon default, Owner may exercise any remedies available under this Agreement or applicable law, including revocation of the License.

24. TERMINATION AND REMOVAL

Upon expiration or termination of the License, Licensee shall immediately cease using the Licensed Area; remove all stored property; remove all debris and trash; repair damage caused by Licensee; and leave the Licensed Area in substantially the condition in which it was provided. Unless immediate removal is required for safety, legal, or environmental reasons, Owner may provide Licensee with fourteen (14) days' written notice to remove stored property following termination.

25. PROPERTY REMAINING AFTER EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION

If Licensee fails to remove property by the required deadline, Owner may, subject to applicable law, take reasonable steps to remove, transport, store, sell, dispose of, or otherwise handle the property. Licensee shall be responsible for reasonable costs incurred by Owner in connection with such property. Owner's rights concerning abandoned property shall be exercised in accordance with any applicable statutory notice, lien, disposition, or other requirements. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive any mandatory legal procedure governing the disposition of property.

Licensee has no right to remain on the Property or leave property on the Licensed Area after the Expiration Date. If Licensee's property remains after expiration without Owner's written consent, Licensee shall be charged a holdover fee at the daily equivalent of the License Fee plus any applicable removal, storage, security, cleanup, or other reasonable costs. Acceptance of a holdover payment shall not create a lease, tenancy, renewal, or extension.
