4 ABOUT SHAREWEL

4.1 Sharewel provides an online platform that connects Hosts that have Space with Renters seeking to book Spaces for storage or parking purposes. 
4.2 We act as an intermediary for Sharewel users to transact and are not a party to any Contract.  We are not a rental agent or property broker.  When a Renter makes a booking and a Host accepts a booking for a Space, they are entering into a Contract directly with each other.  
4.3 Any interaction between you and another Sharewel user, including any Contract entered into between you and another Sharewel user, is a matter directly between you and them only.  Other than our obligations set out in these Terms, we are not liable to you for any failure by any Sharewel user to comply with these Terms or any other legal obligation.
4.4 We will use reasonable efforts to provide Sharewel in accordance with these Terms and New Zealand law.
4.5 Our provision of Sharewel to you is non-exclusive.  Nothing in these Terms prevents us from providing Sharewel to any other person.
4.6 Subject to clause 4.7, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure Sharewel is available on a 24/7 basis.  However, it is possible that on occasion Sharewel may be unavailable to permit maintenance or other development activity to take place, or due to an event that is beyond our reasonable control.  
4.7 Through the use of web services and APIs, Sharewel may interact with a range of third party service features.  We do not make any warranty or representation on the availability or performance of those features.  Without limiting the previous sentence, if a third party feature provider ceases to provide that feature or ceases to make that feature available on reasonable terms, we may cease to make available that feature to you. To avoid doubt, if we exercise our right to cease the availability of a third party feature, you are not entitled to any refund, discount or other compensation.

6 RISK AND RESPONSIBILITY 

6.1 If the Renter is using the Space for the purposes of business storage, then the guarantees and remedies in the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (CGA) are excluded. 
6.2 If the Host is not providing the Space in trade (as that term is defined in section 2 of the CGA), then the guarantees and remedies in the CGA do not apply.
6.3 If the CGA applies, the Renter acknowledges in accordance with clauses 2.2a, 2.2bi and 5.1a of this Schedule that the Host is only providing a licence to use the Space provided by the Host for the sole purpose of storing Stored Goods.  No other undertakings or commitments are given or undertaken by the Host whether in tort, contract or other legal principle. 
6.4 If the CGA applies, the Host's services come with non-excludable guarantees, including that they will be provided with reasonable care and skill.  Otherwise, to the extent permitted by law, the Stored Goods are stored at the sole risk and responsibility of the Renter who is responsible for any and all theft, loss, damage to, and deterioration of the Stored Goods. 
6.5 Where loss, damage or injury is caused by the Renter, the Renter’s actions or the Renter’s Stored Goods, the Renter will indemnify the Host from all claims in contract, tort or otherwise for any loss or damage to the property of, or personal injury to the Renter, the Host or the Space, third parties, and/or the true owner of the Stored Goods stored in the Space, resulting from or incidental to the use of the Space by the Renter (including but not limited to storage of Stored Goods in the Space, the Stored Goods themselves and/or the Renter accessing the Space). 
6.6 The Renter is responsible (and must pay) for loss or damage caused by a third party who enters the Space at the request or direction of the Renter or (if applicable) using the Renter’s key, access card or access code.  The Renter is not responsible for access after it notifies the Host of the loss or theft of the key, access card or access code. 

7 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS 

7.1 The Renter must comply with all relevant laws applicable to the use of the Space.  This includes laws relating to the Stored Goods which are stored, and the manner in which they are stored.  Liability for any breach of such laws by the Rent rests absolutely with the Renter and includes all costs resulting from such breach. 
7.2 If the Host believes at any time (in its sole discretion) that the Renter is not complying with clause 7.1 of this Schedule, the Host may, at any time: 
a) take any action the Host believes necessary to so comply, including inspection of the Space and/or termination under clause 11.1 of this Schedule;

a) the Renter may immediately terminate the contract; 
b) the Renter will use reasonable efforts to make alternative arrangements for storing the Stored Goods, and if a suitable arrangements cannot be made for the Stored Goods, the Host agrees to reimburse the Renter for any reasonable additional costs for any necessary emergency or temporary arrangements the Renter is reasonably required to make to store the Stored Goods; and

10 DEFAULT BY THE RENTER

10.1 All Stored Goods in the Space are subject to a general lien in favour of the Host for all amounts owed to the Host.  If any other amount owed to the Host is not paid in full within 30 days of the due date, the Host may enter the Space and/or take possession of any Stored Goods in the Space and may, at the Host’s sole discretion, do any one or more of the following: 
a) sell the Stored Goods by private arrangement or public auction to offset any unpaid Rent or any other amount owed to the Host and costs associated with collection of Rent and/or disposal of the Stored Goods; 
b) dispose of the Stored Goods in any other manner as the Host sees fit, whether for value or not, if the Stored Goods are unsaleable, remain unsold after being offered for sale, pose a health and safety risk, or are of insufficient value to warrant a formal sale process; and/or 
c) if the Host believes in its reasonable opinion that it is a health and safety risk to conduct an inventory of the Stored Goods in the Space, dispose of some or all of the Stored Goods without doing an inventory. 
10.2 The Host will give notice to the Renter and permit a reasonable period for the Renter to rectify a default before taking possession and selling/disposing of Stored Goods. 
10.3 If any money is recovered from the sale or disposal of Stored Goods, that money will be used as follows:
a) first, to pay the costs incurred by the Host in connection with re-entering the Space and selling or disposing of the Stored Goods; 
b) second, to pay all Rent (including Commission) owed (and where the balance after the payment of the Host’s costs under clause 10.4a of this Schedule are insufficient to cover the full Rent (including Commission) owed, the funds will be applied first towards payment of the Commission and second in payment of the remaining Rent); and
c) third, to pay any other amounts owed to the Host by the Renter; and 
d) fourth, any excess will be sent to the Renter. 

11 TERMINATION 

11.1 The Contract may be terminated:

11.2 On expiry or termination of the Contract the Renter must: 
a) remove all Stored Goods from the Space and leave the Space in a clean condition and good state of repair to the satisfaction of the Host (acting reasonably); and
b) pay any outstanding moneys. 
11.3 If the Host reasonably believes that the Renter is unable to carry its obligations under clause 11.2a of this Schedule or the Renter does not respond in a reasonable period to notices sent by the Host, the Host may, but is not obliged to, access the Space to carry out those obligations and the Renter irrevocably authorises the Host to take this action. 
11.4 If the Renter fails to remove all Stored Goods from the Space on expiry or termination of the Contract, the Host is authorised to (in its discretion) sell or otherwise dispose of the Stored Goods, regardless of the nature or value of the Stored Goods.  The Host will give 14 days’ notice of the intended disposal. 
11.5 Expiry or termination of the Contract does not affect each party’s rights and obligations accrued before the termination or expiry date.
