Reservations

(a) In connection with the Services relating to the reservation of your storage units (the “Reservation Services”), Seek & Store’s role is limited to advertising your storage units (“Units”, and each a “Unit”) and communicating to you requests for reservations with respect to your Unit(s) from individuals or other third parties (“Prospective Customers”, and each a “Prospective Customer”). Seek & Store does not control the completion of the reservation of a Unit (a “Reservation”). Seek & Store is not a real estate broker; Seek & Store is not acting as an agent in any capacity for you or any Prospective Customer; and no brokerage relationship or any agency or fiduciary relationship exists between you and Seek & Store. You may decide, in your sole discretion, whether to list any Unit and the price at which you make the Unit available.

(b) If a Prospective Customer requests or otherwise expresses interest in a Unit via the Reservation Services, you may be contacted by the Prospective Customer, or we may provide you with the necessary information to contact the Prospective Customer. Any interactions or transactions between you and a Prospective Customer, and agreements or contracts between you and a Prospective Customer, are solely between you and such Prospective Customer. You acknowledge and agree that Seek & Store is not a party to any such agreements or contracts and that Seek & Store is not obligated to mediate any disputes between you and a Prospective Customer or any individual or third party that ultimately rents, leases, or otherwise uses your Unit.

(c) Seek & Store has the right, but not the obligation, to monitor the Reservation Services and verify information provided by you. You are solely responsible for offering your Unit and describing your Unit via the Reservation Services, including the price and availability applicable to your Unit (any such description, a “Unit Description”). You must always keep your Unit Description up to date and accurate.

(d) [The Services allow Prospective Customer to view Unit search results by their preference, whether based on price, reviews, or other criteria. Search order on the Services will vary automatically depending on Prospective Customer’s preferences and the filters used by the Prospective Customer. Seek & Store may, at any time and in its sole discretion, make changes to the manner in which Units are displayed within the Services. Further, Seek & Store may elect not to offer, display or list for booking any of your Units.]

If you discover or suspect that someone has accessed any such account(s) without your permission or the permission of one of your Authorized Users, you will promptly notify Seek & Store. We reserve the right to reclaim usernames, including on behalf of businesses or individuals that hold legal claim, including trademark rights, in those usernames.

Transfer and Processing Data

(a) Privacy and Personal Information. Seek & Store may be provided with, access or otherwise receive information from or on behalf of Company that identifies or is reasonably capable of being associated with an individual (including without limitation information about Authorized Users) (“Personal Information”). Seek & Store will not add Personal Information to its or any third party’s database (except as necessary to carry out the activities set forth at the following clauses (i) or (ii)), and will Process (as defined below) the Personal Information only (i) as needed to perform Seek & Store’s obligations and exercise Seek & Store’s respective rights under these Terms; and (ii) in accordance with Company’s documented instructions, including as set forth herein, unless otherwise required by applicable law. Seek & Store will not sell or otherwise Process Personal Information except as expressly permitted by these Terms. With respect to Personal Information subject to the CCPA (as defined below), Seek & Store is prohibited from disclosing Personal Information outside of the direct business relationship between Company and Seek & Store, as applicable, except to the extent (A) instructed in writing to do so by Company or an Authorized User; or (B) such disclosure occurs based on specific actions of an Authorized User within the Services (e.g., in the context of an Authorized User choosing to provide contact information to a third party via the communications features on the Services). With respect to Personal Information subject to the CCPA, Seek & Store will comply with the prohibitions related to selling, retaining, using, or disclosing such Personal Information under these Terms. For purposes of the previous sentence, "selling" shall have the same meaning as in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (as amended or replaced, including all regulations thereunder, “CCPA”). “Process” means the collection, recording, organization, alteration, access, disclosure, copying, retention, deletion, combination, restriction, destruction, disposal, sale, sharing, or other use of Personal Information. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Seek & Store will promptly notify Company if Seek & Store receives any requests from an Authorized User concerning Personal Information, including requests to access or delete Personal Information or complaints with respect to Personal Information. Upon Company’s request, Seek & Store, as applicable, will promptly and securely delete or destroy any Personal Information where such data is within the possession or control of Seek & Store; provided that, unless applicable law requires otherwise, such deletion and destruction obligations will not apply to Personal Information that must reasonably be retained in order to provide the Services, or related services, whether to Company or third-party users of the Services, or as required by law. The foregoing overrides any provisions of any Seek & Store Privacy Policy to Personal Information.
(b) Personal Information excludes Anonymous Data (as defined below). As between you and Seek & Store, Anonymous Data is owned by Seek & Store and, subject to any applicable laws, Anonymous Data may be used by Seek & Store to conduct analytics and provide aggregated analysis to its customer base, provided that the information is always aggregated at the channel or category level. (c) Security Incidents. Seek & Store will notify Company in writing promptly upon learning of any unauthorized, access, acquisition, use or disclosure of Personal Information Processed by Seek & Store on behalf of the Company (each a “Security Incident”). Seek & Store will investigate any Security Incident and keep Company reasonably informed of the status of the Security Incident.

If any portion of this Section 16 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 16 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 16; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 16 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 16 will be enforceable.

Governing Law and Venue
