WE OFFER A SECURE STORAGE FOR ANYONE WISHING TO DEPOSIT GUNS FOR WHATEVER REASON.
All guns / licensable items will be subject to a minimum storage charge of £30.00 per gun / item. This covers administration, booking in, inspection and any notification required etc. This will also cover storage for the first 4 weeks. Storage is then charged at £1.00 per item for each individual gun / firearm / batches of ammunition per day, ongoing. We reserve the right to charge for guns requiring entering back onto a shotgun or firearms certificate. This is additional work also requiring notifying the relevant police force department charged at £12.00 per item. To AVOID this additional fee we suggest applying for any certificate renewal in good time.
If your certificate expires any guns are automatically removed. They then require re-entering along with the usual legal notifications.
Guns/weapons and any other items in probate / on behalf of a deceased estate will be discussed on an individual basis. With the executor/s and / or next of kin as required. A FULL valuation and / or disposal service is also available to assist under these circumstances.
PLEASE NOTE :
It is YOUR responsibility to stay in contact on a QUARTERLY basis and to keep any account fully paid. Up to date and current.
Further charges MAY become applicable if we have to pursue customers to settle accounts and / or collect guns.
For details please see our FULL TERMS AND CONDITIONS, available on request.
If, after 3 recorded attempts to contact you: 1/ No response is received. 2/ Settlement of any outstanding account is not made in full. 3/ Subsequent collection of the said items is not arranged. We reserve the right to sell or dispose of ANY AND ALL items. Use such proceeds to recover outstanding accounts, debts, as well as any other expenses incurred to do this. NO FURTHER NOTICE OR ATTEMPTS to make contact WILL BE MADE. Value assigned and or sale prices of the goods will be at our discretion and no claim for compensation will be accepted. Any balance due may / will be requested via court action.
MOVING HOUSE.
If you move house, contact details or circumstances change etc. it is YOU’RE responsibility to keep us informed of such details. We can only try to get in touch through whatever details we have already supplied when guns are deposited. We accept no financial or any other responsibility if any contact and / or correspondence attempts do not actually arrive.
You may well consider these terms to be harsh. We are happy to offer storage facilities. However, we are not happy to do so without adequate funds to pay for doing so. Guns can be left indefinitely as long as accounts are kept up to date. Trouble begins when people 1/ ‘Abandon’ their property. 2/ Make no attempt to advise of any problems (whether inside their control or from third parties such as delays in certificate renewals etc.). 3/ Ignore efforts by us to make contact. If accounts are left unsettled and rising the situation can easily become unacceptable. Often the true value of any items become less than outstanding storage charge debts. (Taking account of admin. fees and any selling commission and or other expenses). Even if / when the item/s are actually sold.
LONG TERM STORAGE.
If LONG TERM storage is required for such things as working abroad etc. Then we are happy to offer a quotation for payment ‘up front’ for a set period etc. Again, it is your responsibility to ensure any contact details we hold are current. Should we need to get in touch for any reason. Also should your contracts be extended or circumstances change please get in touch as soon as possible to advise etc.
STAYING IN TOUCH on a regular basis generally prevents ANY and all problems before they start. Given as any such items are your responsibility then so is staying in touch etc. You have ‘you’ to think about, we have the entire business to keep up to date!
THANK YOU for your understanding and compliance in this matter. If you are not happy with any of these terms and conditions then please leave any items elsewhere.
