Notwithstanding any provision in this Warehousing Terms, in the event Forceget is liable for Customer’s losses or damages, the total liability of Forceget arising in and out of this Warehousing Terms for the stored Goods shall not be more than two times the Fees invoiced by Forceget  to Customer for storage and handling services.

Customer warrants to Forceget that Customer has lawful possession of and legal right to the Goods. Customer shall pay all storage and other charges, together with all costs and expenses incurred by Forceget, including attorney fees, if any adverse or conflicting claims to the Goods arise between Customer and any other person or entity. Forceget is not a consignee of the Goods, and Customer will not name Forceget or any related businesses as a consignee.

Customer warrants to Forceget that the Goods are properly classified, described, packaged, marked and labeled, are free of hazardous substances and are in proper condition for transportation and storage according to all applicable regulations and laws of the United States Department of Transportation and other U.S. agencies.

Customer will indemnify, defend and hold Forceget harmless from all claims, actions, losses, costs, penalties, and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Forceget, arising out of Customer’s failure to properly handle, manage, maintain, classify, care for, describe, package, mark, label the Goods.

VIII.  ACCESS AND DELIVERY

These Goods will be ready for shipment to the Customer at the warehouse or pick-up by the Customer or its agent at Customer’s written request, upon proper identification of Customer or Customer’s Agent, and upon payment in full of all accrued Fees. 76-hours notice is required for readiness for shipment and pick-up. No delivery will be made except upon written order. Access and delivery of the Goods is provided Monday through Friday during normal working hours of 8:30AM to 4:30PM at the warehouse. An additional charge will be made if access is granted on weekends in the discretion of Forceget.

IX. INSURANCE

Customer must arrange for its own merchandise and liability insurance at its account and expense. Forceget is not an insurer of Goods in its custody nor is it obligated to procure insurance for Customer covering the Goods in its custody. The procurement of insurance for the Goods covering the period of storage in the warehouse in the custody of Forceget, is the sole and complete obligation of the Customer. The warehouse in which Goods are located should be listed on Customer’s policy either as a warehouse location where Goods are stored or as property off premises/unnamed location for a full value of Goods. A copy of the related certificate of insurance shall be furnished to Forceget following the execution of this Warehousing Terms.

X. SHRINKAGE

Forceget is not responsible for loss of Goods due to inventory shortage or unexplained disappearance of stored Goods unless Customer affirmatively establishes such loss occurred due to Forceget’s failure to exercise the level of care regarding the Goods as a reasonably careful proprietor of a storage warehouse would exercise under similar circumstances. No legal presumptions as to the cause of losses shall apply to losses of Goods stored under this Warehousing Terms. In the event an inventory shortage of Goods occurs at the warehouse and such inventory shortage is not caused by theft, fire or any other insurable risk (whether or not such risk is actually covered by an insurance policy then in effect) and after diligent investigation, it is determined that such shortage was caused by the malfeasance of the employees or contractors of Forceget, Forceget will reimburse customer to the full extent of such shortage at the full landed duty paid cost. Unless within fifteen days after receipt of such invoice Customer notifies Forceget in writing that it disagrees with the inventory quantities, amount of the Fees, Customer will be to have accepted the amount of the inventory quantity and Fees stated on the invoice to Customer, and further waives any claim or cause of action against Forceget with respect thereto.

XI. LIEN & DAMAGING RIGHTS OF FORCEGET

Forceget shall have a general and continuing lien on any and all Goods of Customer coming into Forceget’s actual or constructive possession or control for monies owed to Forceget with regard to the Goods on which the lien is claimed; (b) Forceget shall provide written notice to Customer of its intent to exercise such lien, the exact amount of monies due and owing, as well as any on-going storage or other charges; (c) unless, within twenty days of receiving notice of lien, Customer posts cash or letter of credit at sight, or, if the amount due is in dispute, an acceptable bond equal to 110% of the value of the total amount due, in favor of Forceget, guaranteeing payment of the monies owed, plus all Fees accrued or to be accrued, Forceget shall have the right to sell such Goods at public or private sale or auction and any net proceeds remaining thereafter shall be refunded to Customer.

Additionally, if the Customer does not move its goods for more than 6 (six) months, which means inactive stock, Forceget reserves the right to destroy all the goods at Customer’s cost in order to allocate its space to active Customers. Cause the business model is designed for in and out movements and the pricing is determined accordingly, inactive stocks is against Company’s business model and harms its financials.
