9.1 Any provision of these terms and conditions that expressly or by implication is intended to come into or continue in force on or after termination shall remain in full force and effect.

9.2 Termination shall not affect any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities of you or us that have accrued up to the date of termination.

You can telephone our customer service team at 07976 955150 or 07706 496294 or write to us at office@fennridge.co.uk and Fenn Hall, Old Post Office Lane, Sutton, Woodbridge, Suffolk, IP12 3JQ.


11.1 Where to find the price for supply of storage container(s). The price for the storage container(s) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the storage container(s) advised to you is correct. However please see clause 12.4 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the storage container(s) you order.

11.2 We may vary the prices for the storage container(s) on 30 days written notice to you.

11.3 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the storage container(s), we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the storage container(s) in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

11.4 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable care, some of the storage container(s) we have may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the storage container(s) correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the storage container(s) correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract and refund you any sums you have paid.

11.5 When you must pay and how you must pay. You may pay the price of hire of the storage container(s) during the period of hire monthly in advance by standing order, BACS or card payments. On expiry of the period of hire if you fail to cancel then we shall refund any overpayment subject to an administration charge of £25.

11.6 We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 5% a year above the base lending rate of National Westminster Bank Plc from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.


12.1 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or for breach of your legal rights in relation to the supply of services relating to the storage container(s).


13.1 How we will use your personal information. We will use the personal information you provide to us:

13.1.1 to supply the hire of storage container(s) to you;

13.1.2 to process your payment for the supply.

13.2 Your details, which we hold on our computer are absolutely confidential and are available to no one else (apart from where the law otherwise requires). We also want you to know that if you pay for your storage via credit or debit card by post or telephone then your card details are shredded immediately after your transaction is completed. We do not retain any details which would allow your card to be re-used without your knowledge and/or authority.

13.3 Address. You must notify us of any change of address within 1 week of changing address.


14.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.

14.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. Sub-hiring your storage container(s) will not be permitted.

14.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

14.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

14.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

14.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts.
