FACILITY PAYOUTS

To receive payouts, it is essential to link a bank account to your facility's profile. These payouts from the storage facility are referred to as "Seller Payouts" or simply "Payouts."

When a Buyer bids on a storage unit auctioned through the StorageHunt Platform by your facility, StorageHunt will charge the winning auction amount to the Buyer's payment method. The resulting Auction Amount, minus any StorageHunt Platform fees, will be paid out to your facility. The exact StorageHunt Facility Platform fees can be found on our website's pricing page at www.storagehunt.com/pricing.

For instance, if one of your facility's units is auctioned, and the Auction Amount is $1000, with an applicable StorageHunt Platform fee of 15%, the total StorageHunt Facility Platform Fee Anount would amount to $150. This $150 would be deducted from the total Auction Amount, resulting in a $750 payout to your facility.

The Payouts will be processed to the bank account connected to your facility's account. Alternatively, you can opt for the Instant Payout option for faster processing.

Right to Seek Injunctive Relief: If you breach any provision of these Terms of Service, we may, at our sole discretion, seek injunctive relief to enforce these terms and prevent any ongoing or potential harm resulting from the breach. Injunctive relief may be pursued in addition to other remedies available under these Terms of Service or applicable laws.

Nature of Injunctive Relief: Injunctive relief may include, but is not limited to, temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, or permanent injunctions, as deemed necessary to address the breach effectively. The specific form of injunctive relief sought will depend on the circumstances of the breach and the extent of potential harm.

No Waiver of Other Remedies: Seeking injunctive relief does not waive our right to pursue other remedies available under these Terms of Service or applicable laws. Our decision to seek injunctive relief does not prevent us from also seeking damages, equitable relief, or any other appropriate remedy.

Irreparable Harm: You acknowledge and agree that a breach of these Terms of Service may cause irreparable harm to us, for which monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy. In such cases, injunctive relief is necessary to prevent the continuation of the breach and preserve our rights and interests.

Duration of Injunction: The injunction may remain in effect until the court determines that the breach has been adequately remedied, or until otherwise ordered by the court. The court may modify, extend, or dissolve the injunction based on further evidence or changed circumstances.

Bond: In certain circumstances, the court may require us to post a bond or provide security as a condition for obtaining injunctive relief. This bond is intended to cover any potential damages suffered by you if the injunction is later found to have been wrongfully obtained.

By using our platform and services, you acknowledge and agree that we may seek injunctive relief in the event of a breach of these Terms of Service.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

(a) Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and StorageHunt.

By accepting this agreement, you and StorageHunt mutually consent to resolving any disputes through arbitration and waive the right to have such disputes resolved in a court of law by a judge or jury. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") or, if the FAA is inapplicable for any reason, by the laws of the State of Delaware, including Del. Code tit. 10, § 5701 et seq., without regard to choice of law principles. It is important to note that this Arbitration Agreement remains in effect even after the termination of your agreement or relationship with StorageHunt.

All arbitration proceedings under this Agreement will be conducted on an individual basis, and class arbitrations or class actions are not permitted. This Agreement applies to all claims ("Claims") between you and StorageHunt, including those involving affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors, assigns, officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, and service providers, such as background check providers and payment processors. The service providers are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Arbitration Agreement.

Claims subject to arbitration include disputes related to this Agreement, prior versions of the Agreement, the StorageHunt Platform, StorageHunt Services, promotions, gift cards, referrals, loyalty programs, goods or services provided by StorageHunt or third-party providers, your relationship with StorageHunt, the suspension or termination of your User Account or Agreement, background checks, payments, wage-hour laws, unfair competition, discrimination, harassment, contract breaches, consumer protection laws, and other federal and state statutory and common law claims.

The arbitrator will decide any disputes concerning the arbitrability of a Claim. By agreeing to arbitration, you and StorageHunt understand that you are waiving the right to sue in court or have a jury trial for all Claims, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Arbitration Agreement.

(b) Prohibition of Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief.

Both you and StorageHunt agree to bring Claims in arbitration solely on an individual basis and not as part of a class, collective action, or representative proceeding. This means that you waive the right to pursue Claims as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative action, except for representative Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) claims brought against StorageHunt.

The arbitrator has no authority to consider or grant relief on a class, collective, or representative basis. Declaratory or injunctive relief will be awarded only to the individual party seeking relief and to the extent necessary to address their individual claims.

In case the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver is disputed, such disputes may be resolved by a court and not by an arbitrator. If a court determines that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable for any Claim or remedy, that specific Claim or remedy may be pursued in court, while the Class Action Waiver will still be enforced for all other Claims or remedies.

(c) Representative PAGA Waiver.

Both you and StorageHunt agree not to bring representative actions under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (PAGA) or similar laws in court or in arbitration. Any PAGA claims must be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis only, and such claims cannot be used to resolve the claims or rights of other individuals collectively. Disputes regarding the scope, applicability, or enforceability of this representative PAGA Waiver will be resolved by a civil court, not an arbitrator.

(d) Rules Governing the Arbitration.

Arbitration conducted under this Agreement will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by this Agreement. The arbitrator may allow reasonable discovery of non-privileged information relevant to the Claim and may provide individualized remedies available in court. The arbitrator's decision will be provided in writing and is final and binding, subject to judicial review in a court of competent jurisdiction.

The arbitrator will decide claims according to applicable law and honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same parties but not bound by rulings in arbitrations involving different parties

.

(e) Arbitration Fees and Awards.

The payment of filing and arbitration fees will be governed by the relevant AAA Rules. StorageHunt will pay all AAA filing and arbitration fees if it initiates arbitration. If a Seller initiates arbitration for specific Claims listed in Section 17(e)(2), StorageHunt will pay all unique arbitration costs, and the Seller may be responsible for a portion of the filing fee, as specified in the AAA Rules or applicable law.

Each party will bear its own attorneys' fees and costs that are not unique to arbitration. The arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs to the prevailing party to the extent authorized by applicable law.

If the arbitrator awards you an amount greater than StorageHunt's last written settlement offer made after a good faith negotiation process, StorageHunt will pay you the amount of the award or $1,000, whichever is greater.

(f) Location and Manner of Arbitration.

Arbitration hearings will take place in the county of your billing address for Buyers and in the county where the Seller provides Storage Auction Services for Sellers, unless you and StorageHunt agree otherwise. If AAA arbitration is unavailable in your county, the hearings will take place in the nearest available location for AAA arbitration.

(g) Exceptions to Arbitration.

This Arbitration Agreement does not require arbitration of certain types of claims, including small claims actions within the jurisdiction of a small claims court, representative PAGA actions where the representative PAGA Waiver is deemed unenforceable, claims for workers' compensation, state disability insurance, unemployment insurance benefits, claims not subject to arbitration under applicable law, and individual claims of sexual assault or harassment related to the use of the StorageHunt Platform, StorageHunt Services, or Storage Auction Services.

TERM AND TERMINATION

This Agreement becomes effective upon your acceptance. It may be terminated under the following conditions:

(a) You, as the User, can terminate this Agreement without cause by providing seven (7) days' prior written notice to StorageHunt.

(b) Either Party can terminate this Agreement immediately, without notice, if the other Party materially breaches this Agreement.

Additionally, StorageHunt reserves the right to terminate this Agreement or deactivate your User account under the following circumstances:

(1) If you no longer qualify as a User.

(2) If you no longer meet the qualifications to provide Rideshare Services or operate the approved vehicle under applicable law, rule, permit, ordinance, or regulation.

(3) If your star rating or cancellation threshold falls below StorageHunt's requirements.

(4) If StorageHunt has a good faith belief that such action is necessary to protect the safety of the StorageHunt community or third parties.

However, in cases of deactivation pursuant to (1)-(4) above, you will be given notice of the potential or actual deactivation and an opportunity to attempt to rectify the issue to StorageHunt's reasonable satisfaction before StorageHunt permanently terminates the Agreement.

For all other breaches of this Agreement, you will be provided notice and an opportunity to cure the breach. If the breach is remedied promptly and to StorageHunt's satisfaction, this Agreement will not be permanently terminated. Certain sections of this Agreement will survive any termination.

NO WAIVER 

The failure of either party to enforce any provision of these Terms of Service at any time or for any period shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision or the right to enforce it in the future. No waiver of any term or condition of these Terms of Service shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is signed by both parties. Any waiver of a particular provision shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision, nor shall it affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms of Service.

GENERAL 

By agreeing to this, you acknowledge that StorageHunt may, at its sole discretion, automatically assign this Agreement and all incorporated agreements by providing notice to you. However, you are not allowed to assign this Agreement without StorageHunt's prior written approval. Any purported assignment by you in violation of this provision will be void. If you need to provide any notices to StorageHunt, you should do so by email to [email protected]

StorageHunt will deliver any notices to you through the StorageHunt Platform or via the email address or physical address you provided during the registration process. The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and do not define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or extent of the respective sections. The words "include," "includes," and "including" are interpreted to be followed by the phrase "without limitation."

If one party fails to act concerning a breach by the other party, it does not constitute a waiver of the right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. Any such waiver must be in writing. This Agreement represents the entire understanding and agreement between you and StorageHunt regarding the subject matter and supersedes all previous understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between the parties.
