‍Storage Agreement

This Storage Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between MyProMovers LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”), and

This Agreement outlines the terms under which MyProMovers LLC provides secure warehouse-based storage services to the Customer. By signing this Agreement, the Customer acknowledges having read, understood, and agreed to all of the terms below.

Section 1 – Billing and Payment Terms

1.1 Initial Payment
The Customer shall pay the first month’s storage fee on the scheduled service date — the date the Customer’s items are moved into Company storage.

1.2 Recurring Payments
Storage fees are charged monthly on the same calendar day as the original move-in date. For example, if move-in occurs on April 5th, future payments will be due on the 5th of each following month. No invoices or reminders will be sent. All payments must be received by 4:00 PM on the due date.

  A 5% convenience fee applies to all card payments.

Not accepted:

• American Express, cash, personal checks, and cashier’s checks.

1.4 Automatic Payment Requirement
All storage accounts must be enrolled in automatic recurring billing.

• The Customer must notify the Company via email before move-in regarding which card to use.

Storage fees may be increased with at least 15 days’ written notice before the new rate takes effect. If the Customer disagrees with the increase, they may terminate the Agreement before the next billing date.

1.7 Promotional Storage Credit Policy
1.7.1 The Company may, at its discretion, offer promotional storage (e.g., one free month).
1.7.2 Promotional periods are applied as a prepaid credit equal to the Customer’s monthly storage rate.
1.7.3 Automated emails may be sent by the system indicating “payment received,” even when funds are deducted from the promotional credit, not the Customer’s card.
