The term “Burglary” means the act of stealing property by forcible entry into the storage space described on your Rental Agreement and must be evidenced by visible signs of forced entry. However, this coverage only applies when such storage space is securely locked at the time of the forcible entry. A missing lock or the presence of a lock different than the lock placed by you on the storage space is not sufficient, standing alone, to establish forcible entry. In the event of a Burglary Claim, you will bear the burden of proof to establish that a Burglary has occurred.

This is as opposed to Theft or Mysterious Disappearance, for which there is no distinction that there be evidence of visible signs of forced entry into a securely locked storage space. Theft and Mysterious Disappearance are not covered under this policy.

When you purchase insurance from us, in the case of a Claim, you are responsible for the first $100 of any loss. This is your deductible. The insurance company will compensate you, based on the Terms and Conditions, for any amount above this $100 deductible. You will not be requested to make any payment to Sedgwick, the claims administrator.

Your insurance premium is due on the first of each month. You will receive a Notice of Cancellation if your premium has not been received by the 20th of the month. This cancellation will be effective on the 45th day if premium is not received.

If you make your insurance premium payment prior to the 45th day, your account will be made current.

If you do not make your insurance premium payment by the 45th day, your insurance coverage is cancelled. In order to re-purchase the insurance, you will need to complete a new Insurance Application. You can review this form by clicking on the link below.
