Introduction
Welcome! We’re glad you have chosen to engage with 603 Storage using one of our digital properties. These Terms and Conditions, including any documents, policies, and guidelines incorporated by reference (referred to collectively as the “Terms of Use”) govern the website (www.603storage.com) (including both mobile and online versions) (the “Website”), including your use of any interactive features, content and/or online services (collectively, the “Service”), which are made available by 603 Storage (“603 Storage”, “we”, “our” or “us”). As used herein, the term “Website” includes https://603storage.com/ as well as any and all websites, devices and mobile applications (each an “App”) that collect personal information from you that we or our successors, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, related companies or other companies under a common control that we may have now or in the future, as well as any of our sponsorship and advertising partners (individually and collectively, “RightSpace Affiliates”) operate that link to these Terms of Use, web pages within each such website or App, and web pages that are associated with each such website, device or application
In addition to these Terms of Use, we have established a Privacy Policy to explain how we collect and use information about you. A copy of this Privacy Policy can be found at: https://603storage.com/privacy-policy/ and is incorporated by reference into these Terms of Use. By using the Website, you acknowledge and accept the Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and use of your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
By accessing or using our Website in any way you are agreeing to comply with these Terms of Use. In some instances, both these Terms of Use and separate guidelines, rules, or terms of use or sale setting forth additional or different terms and/or conditions will apply to your use of the Website or to a service or product offered via the Website (in each such instance, and collectively “Additional Terms”). These Terms of Use do not alter in any way the Additional Terms you may have or will have with 603 Storage, including the Rental Agreement for your storage unit or any other website terms and conditions with a 603 Storage Affiliate. To the extent that there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and any Additional Terms or other agreements relating to services you have purchased, the Rental Agreement for your storage unit, or online tools you use or to which you subscribe, those other Additional Terms or agreements will govern.
The business realities associated with operating the Website are such that, without the limitations that are set forth in these Terms of Use, such as your grants and waivers of rights, the limitations on our liability, your indemnity of us, and the arbitration of certain disputes – we would not make the Website available to you.
603 Storage and its affiliates provide the Website to you subject to the following notices, terms, and conditions.
Promotions and Offers
All promotions and offers are subject to change. They are offered only on selected units and are subject to availability. Price offers apply only to the rental fee. Other restrictions, taxes, and fees, including administrative fees, apply. See each contract for full details.
Promotions are good for new customers only unless otherwise specified. They are not available on transfers or additional spaces. Pricing is subject to change. A reservation is required to guarantee the price. A reservation only guarantees the price and not the availability of any unit.
Actual unit sizes may vary from approximate size estimates.
Please inspect any unit before renting.
Online pricing is available only for online reservations and rentals.
Not sure about the size you need? Don't worry; online pricing discounts will be honored for any rental originating from an online reservation.

Updates to the Terms
These Terms of Use (or if applicable Additional Terms), in the form posted at the time of your use of the applicable services to which it applies, shall govern such use (including transactions entered during such use). AS OUR WEBSITE EVOLVES, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH WE OFFER THE WEBSITE MAY PROSPECTIVELY BE MODIFIED AND WE MAY CEASE OFFERING THE WEBSITE UNDER THE TERMS OF USE OR ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR WHICH THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY OFFERED. ACCORDINGLY, EACH TIME YOU SIGN IN TO OR OTHERWISE USE THE WEBSITE YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A NEW AGREEMENT WITH US ON THE THEN APPLICABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY NOTIFY YOU OF OTHER TERMS BY POSTING THEM ON THE WEBSITE (OR IN ANY OTHER REASONABLE MANNER OF NOTICE WHICH WE ELECT), AND THAT YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE AFTER SUCH NOTICE CONSTITUTES YOUR GOING FORWARD AGREEMENT TO THE OTHER TERMS FOR YOUR NEW USE AND TRANSACTIONS. Therefore, you should review the posted terms of use and any applicable Additional Terms each time you use the Website (at least prior to each transaction or submission). The Additional Terms will be effective as to new use and transactions as of the time that we post them, or such later date as may be specified in them or in other notice to you. However, the Terms of Use (and any applicable Additional Terms) that applied when you previously used the Website will continue to apply to such prior use (i.e., changes and additions are prospective only) unless mutually agreed. In the event any notice to you of new, revised or additional terms is determined by a tribunal to be insufficient, the prior agreement shall continue until sufficient notice to establish a new agreement occurs. You should frequently check the home page and the email you associated with your account for notices, and you agree that the means set forth in these Terms of Use are all reasonable manners of providing you with notice. You can reject any new, revised or Additional Terms by discontinuing use of the Website and related services.
Registration, Password and Security
Whenever you provide us information on our Website, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current, and complete information; and (b) maintain and promptly update such information to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete. If you provide any information that is, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that the information is, untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, we may without notice suspend or terminate your access to our Website and refuse any and all current or future use of our Services (or any portion thereof).
In order to access or use some (or potentially all) of the features on the Website, you may be required to first register for a user account through our registration process that we make available through the Website (and purchase a subscription as described in Section 3 above). The Service’s practices governing any resulting collection and use of your personal information are disclosed in our Privacy Policy . If any portion of our Service requires you to register or open an account you may also be asked to choose a password and a username. Please select a password that would not be obvious to someone trying to guess your password, and change it regularly as an added precaution. We may reject the use of any password, username, or e-mail address for any other reason in our sole discretion; (ii) You will provide true, accurate, current, and complete registration information about yourself in connection with the registration process and, as permitted, to maintain and update it continuously and promptly to keep it accurate, current, and complete; (iii) You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your account, password, and username – whether or not you authorized the activity; (iv) You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for restricting access to your Device so that others may not access any password protected portion of the Service using your name, username, or password; (v) You will immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account, password, or username, or any other breach of security; and (vi) You will not sell, transfer, or assign your account or any account rights. Without limiting any rights which we may otherwise have, we reserve the right to take any and all action, as it deems necessary or reasonable, to ensure the security of the Service and your account, including, without limitation, terminating your account, changing your password, or requesting additional information to authorize transactions on your account. Notwithstanding the above, we may rely on the authority of anyone accessing your account or using your password and in no event and under no circumstances shall we be held liable to you for any liabilities or damages resulting from or arising out of: (i) any action or inaction of 603 Storage under this provision, (ii) any compromise of the confidentiality of your account or password, or (iii) any unauthorized access to your account or use of your password. You may not use anyone else’s account at any time, without the permission of the account holder.
The security of your personally identifying information is important to us. While there is no such thing as “perfect security” on the Internet, we will take reasonable steps to help ensure the safety of your personally identifying information. However, you understand and agree that such steps do not guarantee that use of the Website is invulnerable to all security breaches, and that we make no warranty, guarantee, or representation that use of any of our Service is protected from viruses, security threats, or other vulnerabilities.
We will not be liable for any loss or damage (of any kind and under any legal theory) to you or any third party arising from your inability or failure for any reason to comply with any of the foregoing obligations.

You agree to receive calls and text messages even if you cancel your account or terminate your relationship with us, except if you opt-out, as provided below.

Calls or text messages to you may be made by or on behalf of 603 Storage even if your telephone number is registered on any state or federal Do Not Call list. You acknowledge that you may incur a charge for these calls or text messages by your telephone carrier and that we are not responsible for these charges.

Copyright Complaints
A. DMCA Notice. We will respond appropriately to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), as set forth below.

(i) a legend or subject line that says: “DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice”

(vi) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that all the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner (or, if you are not the copyright owner, then your statement must indicate that you are authorized to act on the behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed); and
(vii) your electronic or physical signature.
We will only respond to DMCA Notices that we receives by mail, email or facsimile at the addresses below:
603 Storage
Attention: Legal
24901 Point Harbor Drive, Suite 200
Dana Point, California, 92629
E-mail: copyright@603storage.com[JT4] [LJ5]
It is often difficult to determine if your copyright has been infringed. We may elect to not respond to DMCA Notices that do not substantially comply with all of the foregoing requirements, and we may elect to remove allegedly infringing material that comes to its attention via notices that do not substantially comply with the DMCA.
Please note that the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.
We may send the information that you provide in your notice to the person who provided the allegedly infringing work. That person may elect to send us a DMCA Counter-Notification.
Without limiting our other rights, we may, in appropriate circumstances, terminate a repeat infringer’s access to the Website and any other website owned or operated by 603 Storage.
B. Counter-Notification. If access on the Website to a work that you submitted to us is disabled or the work is removed as a result of a DMCA Notice, and if you believe that the disabled access or removal is the result of mistake or misidentification, then you may send us a DMCA Counter-Notification to the addresses above. Your DMCA Counter-Notification should contain the following information:
(i) a legend or subject line that says: “DMCA Counter-Notification”;
(ii) a description of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled (please include the URL or page of the Service from which the material was removed or access to it disabled);
(iii) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;
(iv) your full name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and the username of your account;
(v) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if the address is located outside the U.S.A., to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central District of California), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided DMCA notification to us or an agent of such person; and
(vi) your electronic or physical signature.
Please note that the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability.
If we receive a DMCA Counter-Notification, then we may replace the material that we removed (or stop disabling access to it) in not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days following receipt of the DMCA Counter-Notification. However, we will not do this if we first receive notice at the addresses above that the party who sent us the DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice has filed a lawsuit asking a court for an order restraining the person who provided the material from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Website. You should also be aware that we may forward the Counter-Notification to the party who sent us the DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice.

B. Community Usage Rules. As a user of the Website, these Community Usage Rules (“Rules”) are here to help you understand the conduct that is expected of visitors of the Website’s online forums (“Communities”).
(i) Nature of Rules. Your participation in the Communities is subject to all of the Terms of Use, including these Rules:
Your User Submissions. All of your User Submissions either must be original with you or you must have all necessary rights in it from third parties in order to permit you to comply with these Terms of Use and any Additional Terms. Your User Submissions should not contain any visible logos, phrases, or trademarks that belong to third parties.

If anyone contributes to your User Submissions or has any rights to your User Submissions, or if anyone appears or is referred to in the User Submissions, then you must also have their permission to submit such User Submissions to us (for example, if someone has taken a picture of you and your friend, and you submit that photo to us as your User Submissions, then you must obtain your friend’s and the photographer’s permission to do so.).
Speaking of Photos: No Pictures, Videos, or Images of Anyone Other Than You and Your Friends and Family. If you choose to submit photos to the Website, link to embedded videos, or include other images of real people, then make sure they are of you or of you and someone you know – and only if you have their express permission to submit it.
Act Appropriately. All of your Service activities must be venue appropriate, as determined by us. Be respectful of others’ opinions and comments so we can continue to build Communities for everyone to enjoy. If you think your User Submissions might offend someone or be embarrassing to someone, then chances are it probably will and it doesn’t belong on the Website. Cursing, harassing, bullying, stalking, insulting comments, personal attacks, gossip, and similar actions are prohibited. Your User Submissions must not threaten, abuse, or harm others, and it must not include any negative comments that are connected to race, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or physical handicap.

Do Not Use for Inappropriate Purposes. Your User Submissions must not promote any infringing, illegal, or other similarly inappropriate activity.
Be Honest and Do Not Misrepresent Yourself or Your User Submissions. Do not impersonate any other person, user, or company, and do not submit User Submissions that you believe may be false, fraudulent, deceptive, inaccurate, or misleading, or that misrepresents your identity or affiliation with a person or company.
Others Can See. We hope that you will use the Communities to exchange information and content and have venue appropriate discussions about job search-related issues with other members. However, please remember that the Communities are public or semi-public and User Submissions that you submit on the Website within a Community may be accessible and viewable by other users. Do not submit personally identifying information (e.g., first and last name together, password, phone number, address, credit card number, medical information, email address, or other personally identifiable information or contact information) on Community spaces and take care when disclosing this type of information to others.
Don’t Share Other Peoples’ Personal Information. Your User Submissions should not reveal another person’s address, phone number, e-mail address, social security number, credit card number, medical information, financial information, or any other information that may be used to track, contact, or impersonate that individual, unless, and in the form and by the method, specifically requested by us.

However, we are not obligated to take any action not required by law. We may require, at any time, proof of the permissions referred to above in a form acceptable to us. Failure to provide such proof may lead to, among other things, the User Submissions in question being removed from the Website.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
PLEASE READ THESE PROVISIONS CAREFULLY, AS THEY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS
18.1. Notice; Process
Before filing a claim against us in any forum, you agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally by notifying us of your claim by sending an email to disputeresolution@603storage.com[JT6] [LJ7] or sending a letter to 24901 Point Harbor Drive, Suite 200, Dana Point, California, 92629, Attn: Legal. The notice must specifically describe the nature of the dispute and the relief you seek. You will give us sixty (60) days from the date we receive your notice to try to resolve the dispute. Either party may file a claim if the dispute is not resolved after sixty (60) days.
18.2. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Both you and 603 Storage agree that any and all dispute, claim, or controversy between you and us arising in connection with or in any way relating to the relationship between you and us, including your use of the 603 Storage online bill paying service, will be determined by mandatory binding individual (not class) arbitration. You and 603 Storage further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. By agreeing to arbitrate, both parties are giving up the right to proceed in court. Arbitration is a method of claim resolution that is less formal than a traditional court proceeding. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. There may be more limited discovery than in court. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as in court, except that the arbitrator may not award any relief, including declaratory or injunctive relief, benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. This arbitration provision will survive termination of the Agreement.
18.3 Arbitration Rules
The arbitration will be governed and administered by the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect and as modified by this Arbitration Agreement, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes, who will be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS. To the extent JAMS is not available in your state, the arbitration will be governed and administered by the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in force (the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For all claims and counterclaims together valued at less than $25,000, you and 603 Storage agree that arbitration must proceed as a documents-only hearing, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by both parties. You and 603 Storage agree that the right to arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement is protected by, and any arbitration will be governed by, the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.). You and 603 Storage agree that our business and the relationship here involve interstate commerce. The AAA Rules, as well as instructions on how to file an arbitration proceeding with the AAA, appear at adr.org, or you may call the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
18.4 Exceptions
Notwithstanding Section 18.2 above, both you and 603 Storage agree that nothing in this Arbitration Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights, at any time, to seek remedies in small claims court for disputes or claims within that court's jurisdiction. Both parties also retain the right to pursue any eviction, action to enforce a lien, and/or unlawful detainer remedies or defenses in any court. You agree that 603 Storage retains the right to conduct a lien sale. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not stop you or 603 Storage from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, who may seek relief against us on your behalf (or vice versa) to the extent allowed by law. Any other claims, however, such as claims for violations of the self-storage lien laws, derivative claims (including, but not limited to, claims under state consumer protection statutes), conversion, negligence, breach of contract, or other violations of state or federal law, must be brought in arbitration.
18.5 No Class or Representative Proceedings: Class Action Waiver
YOU AND WE STORAGE BOTH AGREE TO GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND 603 STORAGE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. Unless you and we otherwise agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, consolidated action or private attorney general action. If this specific provision, known as the “Class Action Waiver,” is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be null and void except Section 18.1, which shall remain in full force and effect.
Miscellaneous
These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the use of our Service and the Website, superseding any prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written, or electronic) between you and us regarding such subject matter. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and us as a result of these Terms of Use or your access to and use of the Website. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all Devices and other equipment and software, and all internet service provider, mobile service, and other services needed for your access to and use of the Website and you will be responsible for all charges related to them. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Subject to Section 18.5 above, if any provision of these Terms of Use shall be deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from the Terms of Use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Neither the course of conduct nor course of dealing between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any provision of these Terms of Use. 603 Storage may assign its rights and duties under these Terms of Use to any party at any time without notice to you. Your rights and duties under these Terms of Use are not assignable by you without our written consent. The provisions of these Terms of Use and any Additional Terms (including the terms applicable to User Submissions), which by their nature should survive your suspension or termination will survive, including the rights and licenses you grant to 603 Storage in these Terms of Use, as well as the indemnities, releases, disclaimers, and limitations on liability and the provisions regarding jurisdiction, choice of law, no class action, and mandatory arbitration. These Terms of Use do not provide any third party with any remedy, claim, or right of reimbursement. Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular shall include the plural, the plural the singular and the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense (and/or). The term “including” as used herein shall mean including, without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term (regardless of whether the term “including” is followed by words such as “but not limited to” or “without limitation” in some provisions but not others). The headings in these Terms of Use are for the sole purpose of convenience of reference and shall not in any way limit or affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of these Terms of Use.
[LJ7]I actually like this one. We should create this one for sure and have it forward to all of us.
