Storage period and charges

But if such depositor or holder takes delivery of such goods in lieu of transfer, no storage charge shall apply for that storage month. The warehouse shall store the goods at, and may without notice move the goods within and between, any one or more of the warehouse buildings within the warehouse complex identified on the front page of this warehouse receipt.
(d) The warehouse may, upon written notice to the depositor of record and any other person known by the warehouse to claim an
interest in the goods, require the removal of any goods by the end of the next succeeding storage month.

If the depositor or its successor fails to remove the goods before the end of the next succeeding storage month, the warehouse may sell them under the applicable law.
(e) If the warehouse in good faith believes that the goods are about to deteriorate or decline in value in an amount less than the
amount of the warehouse’s then current and otherwise outstanding storage or other charges before the end of the next succeeding storage month, the warehouse may specify in the notification any reasonable shorter time for the removal of the goods, and failing their removal, the warehouse may sell them at public sale held one week after a single advertisement or posting as provided by law.
(f) If, as a result of a quality or condition of the goods of which the warehouse had no notice at the time of deposit or because of

The warehouse also claims a lien under its invoice “Terms & Conditions of Service.” The warehouse reserves the right to exercise its lien rights under the terms of any applicable law and/or agreement between the depositor and the warehouse. THE DEPOSITOR UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE WAREHOUSE HAS NOT INSURED THE GOODS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE DEPOSITOR AGAINST FIRE OR ANY OTHER CASUALTY.
