Valet Closet’s moving services consist of transporting Customer Items, as defined below, from a designated pickup address (or multiple pickup addresses, if available) that you provide to us (“Pickup Address”) to a designated delivery address (or multiple delivery addresses, if available) that you provide to us (“Delivery Address”), plus any related add-on services such as wrapping, packing, and boxing the Customer Items (together, the “Moving Services”). Valet Closet’s smart closet services consist of photographing, inventorying, and palletizing the Customer Items, as defined below, picking them up from a Pickup Address, and storing them for an indefinite period of time in a facility owned, leased, subleased, licensed, or sublicensed by Valet Closet, plus any related add-on services such as wrapping, packing, or boxing the Customer Items, adding to or returning from storage a subset of Customer Items to a Delivery Address, and making a final return of the Customer Items from storage to a Delivery Address (together, the “Smart Closet Services”). From time to time and subject to additional fees, Valet Closet may offer other additional Services.
“Customer Items” means the items packed by you, Valet Closet, a third party, and/or a third party on behalf of Valet Closet for the Smart Closet or Moving Services. You acknowledge and agree that, in the event that the Customer Items are stolen or are otherwise missing prior to pick-up of the Customer Items by Valet Closet at the Pickup Address or after drop-off of the Customer Items by Valet Closet at the Delivery Address (“Lost Items”), Valet Closet will not be liable for and hereby expressly disclaims all liability for the Lost Items and any damages resulting from the Lost Items.
In the event your email address, residence address, mailing address, billing address, phone number, Pickup Address, and/or Delivery Address changes, you must update Valet Closet within fourteen (14) calendar days of the change by updating your information in your Valet Closet Account, if available, or by submitting a support request in your Valet Closet Account. No other notice of a change of address shall be valid or binding against Valet Closet. Changes of e-mail address, residence address, mailing address, billing address, Pickup Address, and/or Delivery Address cannot be made by any other method, including but not limited to by email or by telephone. We are not responsible if you do not receive a notice from us because any of your addresses changed and you did not update your Valet Closet Account. You acknowledge and agree that in the absence of current contact information, your last known address on file with Valet Closet will be used for all notices required to be provided to you by law or as required under these Terms.
You represent and warrant that you are the owner of any cell phone, landline, voice over IP (VOIP), or mobile phone number contained in your Valet Closet Account, and that you shall remove any cell phone, landline, VOIP, or mobile phone number contained in your Valet Closet Account if you surrender that number or transfer it to any other person. You further agree that we may contact you using any of the information contained in your Valet Closet Account, including any listed cell phone, landline, VOIP, or mobile phone number.
Valet Closet will not pick up, deliver, or return Customer Items at or to an address that is outside our then-current delivery zone (a “Delivery Zone”), unless we otherwise agree to do so in writing. To determine whether a zip code is within a Delivery Zone, you may input a zip code into valetcloset.com, or Valet Closet mobile app and review the results. Times given for pickup, delivery, collection, packing, and returns are only estimates and Valet Closet shall not be liable for any delays.
Valet Closet may, in its sole discretion, refuse, cancel, postpone, or otherwise reschedule any Services, including pick up, delivery, packing, collection, or return of Customer Items, for any reason or no reason, including, without limitation: unsafe travel or weather conditions; unsafe onsite conditions; harassing, rude, or threatening conduct by Users, whether actual or perceived; limited, no, or obstructed access to the Pickup Address or Delivery Address; exposure to or evidence of insect, rodent, or mold activity or infestation; complications due to a User being evicted from a Pickup Address or Delivery Address; Department of Transportation or state tariff regulations; labor shortage; unexpected logistical challenges; prior or current unpaid account balances or incomplete documentation; or any other reason.
Valet Closet may use subcontractors and/or other third parties to help perform or support the Services, including without limitation, pick-ups, returns, deliveries, transportation, packing, inventory management, palletizing, photographing, customer service, communications, and other logistics with respect to the Services or Customer Items.
You acknowledge and agree that Valet Closet is not responsible for disassembling, reassembling, disconnecting, reconnecting, removing, or hanging the following Customer Items: furniture, appliances, electronics, fixtures, wall hangings, wall mountings, fittings, equipment, or any item that requires licensing, certification, or specialized tools to handle. While Valet Closet makes a good faith effort to place all Customer Items in suitable environments during transport or storage, Valet Closet transports and stores a large variety of items, some of which require specific environments or means of transport or storage. Valet Closet does not warrant that any transport vehicle or storage facility used by Valet Closet is a suitable place or means of transport or storage for any particular Customer Items.
B. Electronic Contract
You agree that your order for the Services, whether made by clicking a “Confirm Appointment” button (which is your electronic signature), scheduling an appointment over the phone, or otherwise, is your agreement to conduct transactions with us electronically, and is your affirmative consent to our use of an electronic record to provide or make available to you (whichever is required) any information required by any statute, regulation, or other rule of law to be in writing with respect to any transaction conducted with us. You will be responsible for any printing or storage of electronic records for your files and reference. When you place an order or make a reservation for Services, our confirmation of your order or reservation will constitute our signature. We will send our confirmation to the email address associated with your Valet Closet Account.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree and consent to electronically receive and sign any documentation from Valet Closet regarding the Services, including but not limited to a Bill of Lading, Estimate, Warehouse Receipt, Release Agreement, and/or Storage Contract, via your Valet Closet Account, DocuSign, or any other similar e-signature tool. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you expressly waive your right to receive any documentation from Valet Closet regarding the Services, including but not limited to a Bill of Lading, Estimate, Warehouse Receipt, Release Agreement, and/or Storage Contract, in the time period set by applicable law. You agree and consent to receive such documentation in any time frame permitted by applicable law. You also agree that no certification authority or other third-party verification is necessary to validate your electronic signature and that the lack of such certification or third-party verification will not in any way affect the enforceability of your electronic signature or these Terms.
C. Your Responsibilities; Waiver
You will be solely responsible for: (i) obtaining and ensuring that Valet Closet or its subcontractors have access to any parking, elevators, stairways, walkways, access roads, or any other necessary means of access as may be reasonably required to carry out the Services, and that such means of access are in working order and safe for use to carry out the Services; (ii) being present, or ensuring that someone authorized by you to sign documents and make decisions regarding the Services and/or Customer Items is present, during the pickup, packing, delivery, collection, and return of the Customer Items; (iii) providing Valet Closet with your contact details and ensuring that such contact details are accurate and up-to-date; (iv) ensuring that the Customer Items you pack have been packed appropriately, safely, and securely so as not to cause damage or injury or the likelihood of damage or injury to you, your Customer Items, Valet Closet’s property, employees, agents, contractors, business partners, other goods, or other individuals, whether by spreading of dampness, infestation, leakage, escape of fumes or substances, or otherwise; (v) informing Valet Closet immediately of any damage to the Customer Items or your property that occurred during performance of the Services, including the Moving Services or Smart Closet Services; and (vi) reimbursing Valet Closet in full an amount equal to all damages, liabilities, costs, claims, and expenses that Valet Closet may incur as a result of any breach by you of these Terms.
You understand that Valet Closet is not responsible for any Customer Items that have been packed, moved, transported, or wrapped by you or by a third party at your direction. With respect to the Smart Closet Services, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for verifying that Valet Closet has photographed and/or inventoried all the Customer Items and that the inventory Valet Closet provides you in your Valet Closet Account is a true and complete inventory of the personal property tendered. Unless you make a written claim in your Valet Closet Account within 30 days from the Smart Closet Service appointment date for the correction of any errors or omissions in the inventory of your Customer Items, it will be assumed to be a full and correct list of Customer Items stored hereunder and Valet Closet shall not be liable for any piece, package, carton, or container not listed therein. You hereby waive and release Valet Closet from responsibility for any damage to items that were not packed, moved, transported, or wrapped by Valet Closet and, with respect to the Smart Closet Services, were not inventoried by Valet Closet.
D. The Customer Items
You represent and warrant that you own the Customer Items or that you otherwise have the right and authority to transport, store, move, and/or subject the Customer Items to the Services in accordance with these Terms. All Customer Items are handled, transported, and/or stored by Valet Closet or its subcontractors upon the express representation and warranty by you or your authorized representative(s) that you have the requisite legal possession of and that no other person or entity has an interest in the Customer Items. In the case of an ownership dispute, determination, or proceeding regarding the Customer Items, you are solely responsible for any fees and/or payments due and owed to Valet Closet in connection with the continuation or termination of the Services. If Valet Closet, in its sole discretion, is required to commence an interpleader action to settle any claims of conflicting ownership, or is made a party to any litigation or dispute in connection with the breach of this section, you agree to pay Valet Closet all reasonable and necessary costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees that Valet Closet may be liable or compelled to pay in connection with such litigation or dispute.
For Smart Closet Services, the Customer Items will be stored in a facility using warehouse racking and/or floor storage, and the Customer Items may be palletized. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the temperature of the facility in which the Customer Items are stored between 55°F and 90°F. Other than temperature, the Customer Items will not be stored in a climate-controlled environment. The air flow, moisture level, and heat will not be regulated. We will take commercially reasonable steps to protect the Customer Items from the growth of mold or similar microorganisms. However, because the Customer Items will not be stored in a completely climate-controlled environment, we cannot guarantee that mold, dust, or similar microorganisms may not develop on the Customer Items. We are not liable for the natural growth of mold, mildew or similar microorganisms on the Customer Items, or for rust, depreciation, or the natural degradation of Customer Items. You assume the risk that mold, rust, or similar microorganisms could develop under these circumstances.
The Customer Items must not include and you must not provide to Valet Closet for storage or transport any of the following in connection with the Services: antiques (whether or not breakable and fragile), perishable goods, firearms, gun powder, explosives, alcohol, propane tanks, paint, used tires, plants, birds, fish, other animals, or any other living thing, arms or ammunition, any item which emits fumes, smells or odors, bullion (e.g., gold-silver), jewelry, currency, ivory, precious metals or stones, any drugs, illegal substances or goods, or goods or substances illegally obtained, combustible or flammable materials, liquids or compressed gasses, diesel, petrol, oil, gas, artificial fertilizer or cleaning solvents, chemicals, radioactive materials or biological agents, toxic waste, asbestos or other materials of a dangerous or harmful nature, any other toxic, flammable or hazardous goods, human remains, or any other items, the possession, usage, transport or storage of which may detrimentally affect any of your other Customer Items or violate in any way the laws of the United States or any other applicable laws, rules, or regulations (collectively, “Prohibited Customer Items”). You shall be liable for and indemnify Valet Closet for all loss or damage caused by such goods and Valet Closet shall not be liable or responsible for safe delivery or storage of such goods. Valet Closet will have no liability for loss or damage resulting to the following types of goods: (a) documents; (b) stamps or stamp collections; (c) securities; (d) specie; (e) jewelry; (f) precious metals or stones; (g) currency; (h) or other articles of high or unusual value.
According to our sole discretion, Valet Closet Inc. or any of its employees, subcontractors, or other authorized agents may regularly conduct pest control inspections of any and all Customer Items.
Valet Closet or any of its employees, subcontractors, or other authorized agents may, at any time, in their sole discretion and without notice to you, open any Customer Items to inspect the Customer Items if Valet Closet: (i) believes, in its sole discretion, that the Customer Items may include any Prohibited Customer Items; (ii) is required to do so by the law enforcement, fire services, local authorities, or by court order; (iii) determines, in its sole discretion, it necessary for account or warehouse maintenance; or (iv) considers it necessary, in its sole discretion, in an emergency or to prevent injury or damage to persons or property. Prohibited Customer Items may be disposed of by Valet Closet, in its sole discretion, in any manner that Valet Closet deems fit. Alternatively, Valet Closet may refuse to store or transport any Customer Items, or may return to you any Customer Items, at your cost, at any time, if, in Valet Closet’s sole discretion, the storage, continued storage, or transport of the Customer Items would represent a risk to the safety of any person, the security of the storage site or transport vehicle, or security of any other goods at the storage site or in the transport vehicle.
E. Payment, Subscription Services, and Cancellation
By using the Services, or other paid services or products provided by Valet Closet, you agree to our pricing and payment terms, as we may update them from time to time. Valet Closet may add new Services for additional fees and charges, or amend fees and charges for existing Services, at any time, in its sole discretion. Valet Closet may also charge certain late, rush, and cancellation fees, in its sole discretion. Upon any such changes to fees and charges, we will notify you that such changes have been made via email and/or your Valet Closet Account. We may, from time to time and in our sole discretion, offer certain discounts, promotional offers, or referral codes (“Promotions”)in connection with our Services. You agree that Promotions are offered subject to our right to manage, regulate, control, modify, revoke, and/or eliminate the Promotions as Valet Closet sees fit, in its sole discretion, for any reason or no reason, in any general or specific case, and that Valet Closet will have no liability to you based on its exercise of such right.
In order to receive Services, you must provide Valet Closet with a current, valid, accepted method of payment (as updated from time to time, “Payment Method”). All information that you provide in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Site, your Valet Closet Account, or the Services must be accurate, complete, and current. You agree to pay all charges incurred by users of your credit card, debit card, or other accepted payment method used in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with Valet Closet at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. You will pay any applicable taxes, if any, relating to any such purchases, transactions, or other monetary transaction interactions. In the event of insufficient funds or declined payments, we will make repeated attempts to charge the Payment Method. At our discretion, we may charge the Payment Method with a reasonable hold amount or non-refundable deposit in advance of any appointments booked through your Valet Closet Account. Any amounts not paid within five (5) days when due may be subject to late fees.
In the event that Valet Closet suspends or terminates your Valet Closet Account or the Services for your breach of these Terms, you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund or exchange for any unused Services, any license or subscription fees for any portion of the Site or Services, any content or data associated with your account, or for anything else, and that Valet Closet may be unable to complete any outstanding orders or appointments until the suspension is lifted.
Further, you acknowledge and agree that the Smart Closet Services or other paid services or products provided by Valet Closet may be made available on a recurring subscription basis (“Subscription Services”). If you enroll in any Subscription Services, you agree to a recurring payment program, which will continue for the agreed-upon subscription period or minimum storage term, if applicable, and automatically renew for additional subsequent periods unless and until you cancel the Subscription Services or Valet Closet suspends, discontinues, or terminates them. Valet Closet may offer a number of subscription plans for Subscription Services with different conditions and limitations. Any materially different pricing or payment terms will be disclosed on the Site, in your Valet Closet Account, and/or in other communications made to you. For Subscription Services, we will automatically charge the payment method associated with your Valet Closet Account on a recurring basis, depending on the subscription term you choose. For Smart Closet Services, day one of your billing cycle is the date you begin storing Customer Items with us. You acknowledge that the amount billed may vary due to promotional offers, changes in your Subscription Services plan, and/or changes in applicable taxes, and you authorize us to charge your payment method for the corresponding amounts. You further acknowledge that the amount of the recurring charge may change if the applicable tax rates change or if you are notified that there will be an increase in the applicable subscription fees.
You hereby authorize Valet Closet to bill the subscription fee to your Payment Method, along with any applicable taxes or additional fees due during the billing period. You must cancel the Subscriptions Services prior to the end of the then-current subscription period in order to avoid billing of the next subscription period’s subscription fees to your Payment Method.
Any change to our Subscription Services’ pricing or payment terms shall become effective in the billing cycle following notice of such change to you as provided in these Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, fees for booking initial appointments, additional pickups and/or deliveries, final returns, or other appointments or add-on services are subject to change and will be calculated on the Site, at the Pickup Address on the date of your appointment, or in your Valet Closet Account at the time of booking.
You may cancel your Subscription Services at any time once the minimum storage term you committed to has been met; however, you will not receive a refund for the then-current subscription period. If your Subscription Services are canceled before the minimum storage term you committed to has been met, all applicable fees (including payment for the remainder of the minimum storage term and any applicable termination fees, disposal fees, and/or return fees) will be due and charged to you upon booking a final return of the Customer Items. To cancel the Subscription Services, book a final return of the Customer Items through your Valet Closet Account at our mobile app. When you cancel the Subscription Services, you cancel only future charges associated with your Valet Closet Account. You may notify us of your intent to cancel the Subscription Services by booking a final return of the Customer Items, but the cancellation will only become effective at the end of the subscription period in which we perform your final return. You will continue to have the same access and benefits of the Services for the remainder of the current subscription period.
You may cancel the Moving Services at any time by canceling any scheduled appointments and paying any outstanding fees due to Valet Closet through your Valet Closet Account at your mobile app.
Upon cancellation of the Services for any reason, you must contact Valet Closet promptly to arrange for delivery of your Customer Items, if applicable. If within 45 days following cancellation of the Services for any reason you fail to arrange for delivery of all of your Customer Items, then Valet Closet may process the Customer Items in accordance with the provisions of the following section titled “Valet Closet’s Right to Withhold or Dispose of Customer Items”.
If you commit to a minimum payment term for any Services, you remain obligated to pay the full amount of any such minimum payment term you have made to Valet Closet, regardless of whether and at what point you cancel your Valet Closet Account.
F. Valet Closet’s Right to Withhold or Dispose of Customer Items
Subject to applicable law, Valet Closet shall have the right to withhold and/or dispose of some or all of the Customer Items in accordance with this clause if either: (i) you do not pay any applicable fees or any other payments due under these Terms, or (ii) you abandon your Customer Items.
You will be responsible for all transport and storage charges and other associated costs reasonably incurred by Valet Closet while withholding or disposing of the Customer Items. Valet Closet will provide you with 45 days’ written notice requiring you to pay all amounts due and contact Valet Closet to arrange for re-delivery of the Customer Items. If upon the expiration of the 45-day notice period you have failed to pay all of the amounts due, Valet Closet will consider your Customer Items abandoned and may dispose of some or all of the Customer Items by sale or otherwise.
If in Valet Closet’s opinion the Customer Items cannot be sold for a reasonable price or at all (for any reason), or despite Valet Closet’s reasonable efforts they remain unsold, you authorize Valet Closet to treat them as abandoned and to destroy or otherwise dispose of them at your cost. You shall be responsible for all costs reasonably incurred by Valet Closet in relation to the disposal of the Customer Items. If Valet Closet receives money on disposal of the Customer Items, the net proceeds of sale will be credited to your account and Valet Closet will pay any excess amounts to you without interest, less Valet Closet’s administrative charge of $300.00.
If, after having made reasonable efforts to do so, Valet Closet is unable to return any excess amounts received by Valet Closet from the disposal of your Customer Items to you, including having given not less than 90 days’ written notice to you, Valet Closet may retain any such excess amounts for its own account. If the proceeds of sale (if any) are insufficient to discharge the outstanding charges or any other payments due to Valet Closet under these Terms and the costs of sale, you must pay any balance outstanding to Valet Closet within 7 days of a written demand from Valet Closet. Interest will accrue on the balance in accordance with the Payment Section above until the balance is paid in full.
G. Valet Closet’s Limited Security Warranty
Valet Closet agrees to provide you with a limited security warranty regarding your Customer Items as set forth in the terms and conditions of our Limited Security Warranty Policy. This Limited Security Warranty Policy is expressly incorporated by reference herein. The Customer Items are not insured by Valet Closet against fire or any other casualty, and Valet Closet does not sell insurance for any risk or purpose.
H. Termination
You may terminate these Terms at any time by: (1) canceling the Services pursuant to Section 2.E; (2) and paying any outstanding amounts owed to Valet Closet.

We may share a common account identifier (such as an email address or user ID) with third-party advertising partners to help recognize you across devices. We, and our partners, can use this cross-device linkage to serve interest-based advertising and other personalized content to you across your devices, to perform analytics, and to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns.

Capitalized terms not defined in this Limited Security Warranty Policy have the meaning given to them in Valet Closet’s Terms of Use (the “Agreement”), which are incorporated herein by reference.
Subject to the terms, limitations, exclusions, and conditions of this Limited Security Warranty Policy and the Agreement, and solely to the extent covered by Valet Closet’s insurance policy, Valet Closet will reimburse you for:
Loss of or damage to your properly packed Stored Items that have been tampered with, lost or stolen while in Valet Closet’s possession, up to a total maximum of US $1.00 per pound in aggregate per User (the “Limited Security Warranty”); damage to your household caused by Valet Closet’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, up to a total maximum of US $1000 in aggregate per User;
and/or damage to your personal effects caused by Valet Closet’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, up to a total maximum of US $1.00 per pound in aggregate per User (together with (i) and (ii), also part of the Limited Security Warranty). In order to be eligible for reimbursement under (ii) or (iii), you must timely notify Valet Closet of any applicable damage while Valet Closet personnel remain present during or after the performance of services. Valet Closet shall have the right to decrease or deny reimbursement to the extent that your or a third party’s negligence or willful act contributed to the claimed damage.
Under no circumstances shall Valet Closet have any liability, or any responsibility to reimburse you, for any damages to any Stored Items that Valet Closet has not individually and specifically inspected, packed, sealed and photographed, including without limitation any items inside or in some way obscured by other items or packaging. Any such items are excluded from coverage.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Valet Closet shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to inspect and determine the value of any damage to a Stored Item, household, or personal effects, the value of a lost Stored Item, and whether a damaged Stored Item, household, or personal effect is capable of being repaired. You may also purchase additional protection, such that your protection is the greater of the legal minimum price per pound or the amount of additional protection purchased. You may purchase additional protection of either $1,000 or $2,500, in each case in aggregate per User. Please visit www.valetcloset.com or contact us at (800) 805-4023 for more details, including current rates for additional protection, and/or to purchase additional protection. You are free later to cancel your protection plan. However, cancellation or failure to make payments each month means that your protection will revert to the default total maximum of US $1.00 per pound in aggregate per User. Once you have selected your protection level, you cannot upgrade or change your protection level, except you may cancel your additional protection at any time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the terms, limitations, exclusions, and conditions of this Limited Security Warranty Policy and the Agreement, and solely to the extent covered by Valet Closet’s insurance policy, if you created a Valet Closet account prior to August 10, 2016, then Valet Closet will reimburse you for loss of or damage to your Stored Items properly packed in Storage Boxes that have been tampered with, lost or stolen while in Valet Closet’s possession, up to a total maximum of US $1,000.00 in aggregate per User (the “Prior Limited Security Warranty”). Customers who created Valet Closet accounts prior to August 10, 2016 are not eligible to purchase additional protection.
If you purchase additional coverage and then at any point reach your maximum total claim amount, Valet Closet will immediately cancel any later scheduled monthly protection plan payments from you and default your Limited Security Warranty coverage down to a total maximum of US $1.00 per pound in aggregate.
In order to be eligible for either Limited Security Warranty, you must: (i) have photographs of your Stored Items (in order to allow us to confirm the pre-packing condition of the Stored Items); (ii) pack your Stored Items into boxes (“Storage Boxes”); (iii) promptly examine your Storage Box and Stored Items when Valet Closet returns your Storage Boxes to you, and (iv) immediately notify the Valet Closet representative who return-delivered your Storage Box in writing of any loss of or damage to your Stored Items at the time of delivery within five (5) days of delivery; and (v) read and agree to abide by the terms of the Valet Closet Damage Claim Form (subsections (i) through (v) of this paragraph, collectively, the “Warranty Requirements”). The Valet Closet Damage Claim Form for customers with a maximum coverage of US $1.00 per pound in aggregate per User is available here. The Damage Claim Forms for customers who purchased $1,000 or $2,500 of additional protection is available at here or here respectively. For clarity, this Valet Closet Limited Security Warranty Policy shall not apply to any Stored Items shipped directly by you or on your behalf to Valet Closet.
Upon receiving notice of lost or damaged Stored Items, Valet Closet will investigate the cause of loss or damage. If Valet Closet determines, in its sole discretion, that the loss or damage was due to unauthorized tampering with or access to the Stored Items contained within your Storage Box, Valet Closet will pay to you either (i) the cost of repair of the damaged Stored Items (up to the aggregate per-user limit expressly set forth herein and selected by you), or (ii) the current replacement fair market value of the lost or damaged Stored Items (up to the aggregate per-user limit expressly set forth herein and selected by you), whichever is less. Valet Closet shall be entitled to require proof of the initial purchase price, repair cost, and/or replacement value, and/or fair market value of any damaged or stolen Stored Items.
You agree that Valet Closet shall have no liability for any loss of or damage to any Stored Items if you breach or have breached any provision of the Agreement, or if you fail or have failed to comply with any of the Warranty Requirements above, including without limitation, any failure to have photographs taken of any missing or damaged Stored Items prior to packing the Stored Items or failure to notify Valet Closet of any or lost or damaged Stored Items immediately upon delivery. The Limited Security Warranty is not insurance and should not be considered a replacement or stand-in for any kind of insurance. We strongly encourage you to purchase insurance for all of your Stored Items.
The Limited Security Warranty does not apply to, and Valet Closet shall not in any event be liable for, any loss or damage that falls into the following categories: (i) loss or damage to the Stored Items which does not arise as a direct consequence of any breach of this Agreement by Valet Closet or any deliberate or grossly negligent act or omission on the part of Valet Closet or its contractors; (ii) loss of or damage to any Prohibited Stored Items (as defined in the Agreement); (iii) loss or damage to composite wood items, such as pressboard, particle board or ready-to-assemble furniture; (iv) loss or damage to the internal workings of electronic items; (v) missing hardware for items Valet Closet did not disassemble; (vi) loss or damage to items that were previously damaged or repaired; (vii) loss of business, sales, revenue, profits or anticipated savings; (viii) loss or damage which was not reasonably foreseeable at the date of entering into this Agreement, regardless as to how such loss or damage was caused; (ix) loss or damage due to emotional distress; or (x) consequential damages of any character; or (xi) loss of or damage to Stored Items in connection with any Force Majeure Event (as defined in the Agreement). You acknowledge and agree that the Limited Security Warranty set forth herein shall be your sole and exclusive remedy and Valet Closet’s total liability to you in connection with any lost, stolen, or damaged Stored Items.
