Terms and Conditions of Archive and Live File Storage

Storage of business records with Business Records Management normally involves a lower level of risk to that faced if an archive is stored on a customer's own premises. Whilst every effort is taken in customer's premises to protect against loss by fire, flood, vandalism, or human error, the storage environment and the controls to prevent loss rarely surpass those in place at a Business Records Management archive store. Alarms, location, technology, the absence of any human intervention other than archive related activities reduces the risk significantly.

It is important to note that Business Records Management (Big Web Warehouse Ltd) does not accept unlimited liability and does not insure the full value of the goods or documents stored with the company. By agreeing to store with Big Web Warehouse Ltd or Business Records Management, you, the customer are deemed to accept these terms.

Insurance for a greater value than that stated in our Terms and Conditions of Storage contract is normally negotiated by you as an extension of your own insurance policy and because storage of goods and documents in third party warehousing is common practice, insurance companies have inexpensive policy extensions to cover the risk. For larger archives, your insurer will normally inspect the premises and assess the risk as part of the process.

The industry standard Terms and Conditions of Storage are those employed by the United Kingdom Warehousing Association and Big Web Warehouse Ltd is a full and active member. Our terms and conditions are the same as those of the Association. The UKWA Terms and Conditions can be downloaded here in .pdf format and customers are respectfully advised to read through the terms to make sure that they are understood.

Business Records Management (Big Web Warehouse Ltd) does not underestimate the responsibility of caring for your goods and documents and our Terms and Conditions of Storage do not seek to minimise the duty, however the company will in all cases limit liability to the amount stated in the contract.
