You understand that CubeSmart reserves the right to make these changes and that you are responsible for regularly reviewing these terms. Your continued access to or use of the Site after any change will constitute your consent to the change.

The portions of this Agreement relating to Intellectual Property Rights, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, and Choice of Law and Venue, and all terms of this Agreement which by their nature should survive, shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

General Terms:
You may not assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any right granted hereunder. You agree that any material breach of this Agreement will result in irreparable harm to CubeSmart for which damages would be an inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, CubeSmart will be entitled to equitable relief, including both a preliminary and permanent injunction, if such a breach occurs. You waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security if CubeSmart seeks such an injunction.

Any express waiver or failure to exercise promptly any right under this Agreement will not create a continuing waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid by any law or regulation of any government, or by any court or arbitrator, the parties agree that such provision will be replaced with a new provision that accomplishes the original business purpose, and the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

CubeSmart’s performance under this Agreement is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in this Agreement is in derogation of CubeSmart’s right to comply with governmental, court, and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Site or information provided to or gathered by CubeSmart with respect to such use.

A printed version of this Agreement and of any notices given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
