CANCELLING OR ENDING THE AGREEMENT: 

54. If You entered into the Agreement without physically coming into the Facility, then You have 14 days after We confirm acceptance of Your order to change Your mind (cooling off period). If You cancel during this period, a refund will be provided based on the length of storage You have taken prior to cancelling and all Goods being removed from the Unit.  We can use any payment made by You to settle some or all of this sum. You can cancel by email, post or telephone call to Us referring to Your name, address, date of order, and Unit number.

55. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties, either We or You may end this Agreement at any time by giving the other party seven days written notice in accordance with Clause 53.  The date on which the Agreement will end (the Termination Date) must be at end of the current 28 day rental period. In the event of illegal or environmentally harmful activities on Your part or a breach of this Agreement (which, if it can be put right, You have failed to put right within 14 days of a request from Us to do so), We may terminate the Agreement immediately by notice. We are entitled to retain from the Deposit (if applicable), or make a charge for, apportioned Storage Fees if less than the required notice is given by You.  You must remove all Goods in the Unit before the close of business on the Termination Date and leave the Unit in a clean condition and in a good state of repair to the satisfaction of Us.
