Outdoor seasonal parking space rental agreement

This Agreement is between DCS Commercial LLC, 65975 M-43 Hwy, Bangor, MI 49013 (“DCS”), and the customer named on the signed Agreement (“Customer”).

1. Space

DCS grants Customer permission to park the vehicle described in the attached Intake Form (the “Vehicle”) in outdoor space number ____ (the “Space”). The Space is uncovered, unpaved, unfenced, and unsecured. Customer has inspected the site and accepts it as is.

2. Parking space only

This Agreement rents a place to park. DCS does not take possession, custody, or control of the Vehicle. DCS does not hold keys, move, maintain, winterize, cover, or watch over the Vehicle. No bailment is created.

3. Term

From the start date on the Intake Form until April 15, 2027 (the “Removal Date”). The Vehicle must be removed by the Removal Date.

4. Fee

Customer pays a flat fee of $300.00 for the full term, in advance, at signing. There is no monthly payment option. The fee is not reduced for a later start date and is not refunded for early removal, except as stated in Section 13.

5. No security or supervision

DCS provides no guard, gate, lighting, monitoring, or protection. Any camera on the property is for DCS’s own purposes and is not a promise of security.

6. Customer’s insurance and registration

Customer must keep the Vehicle registered and insured (including comprehensive coverage) for the full term and give DCS proof at signing. DCS’s insurance does not cover the Vehicle or its contents.

7. Limited liability release

Customer stores the Vehicle entirely at Customer’s own risk. DCS is not responsible for loss or damage to the Vehicle or its contents from weather, snow, ice, wind, falling trees or limbs, flooding, ground conditions, animals, theft, vandalism, fire, or any other cause, or from towing or moving the Vehicle as allowed under Section 11 (emergency) or Section 12 (holdover, default, and towing), except DCS’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Customer understands and agrees that the Space is uncovered and unsecured, that DCS does not insure or protect the Vehicle, and that Customer accepts all risk of loss or damage from snow, weather, theft, vandalism, and towing under this Agreement.

8. Indemnity

Customer will defend and hold harmless DCS, its members, managers, and family on site from claims arising from the Vehicle, Customer, or Customer’s guests being on the property.

9. Vehicle condition and use

The Vehicle must be operable or on an operable trailer, with no fluid leaks. No one may live in, sleep in, or run a business from the Vehicle. No repairs beyond jump starting or tire inflation. No hazardous materials other than fuel in the Vehicle’s own tanks and closed, shut off propane tanks.

10. Access

Customer may access the Vehicle only between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., seven days a week, and must contact DCS at (269) 787-8866 before arriving. Customer is responsible for clearing snow from the Vehicle and its immediate area. Customer may not leave any personal property on the Space or the property other than the Vehicle itself, and may not litter.

11. Moving the Vehicle

DCS may require Customer to move the Vehicle to another space on 48 hours’ notice. In an emergency, DCS may have the Vehicle moved or towed at Customer’s cost.

12. Holdover, default, and towing

If the Vehicle is not removed by the Removal Date, or remains on the property after this Agreement ends under Section 13, Customer owes holdover rent of $100.00 per month or any part of a month, due the day after the Removal Date or end date and on the same day of each month after that. Under Michigan’s Self-Service Storage Facility Act (MCL 570.521 and following), DCS has a lien on the Vehicle for unpaid rent and other charges. DCS may send Customer a written notice at any time after holdover rent becomes due. The notice will include an itemized statement of the amount due and a demand for payment within at least 14 days after the notice is delivered. If holdover rent or other charges remain unpaid for 60 days and are not paid by the deadline in the notice, DCS may have the Vehicle towed from the property by an independent motor carrier with proper authority under Michigan law, and may pursue any other remedy allowed under the Act or Michigan law, all at Customer’s cost. Notices under this Section will be sent by first-class mail to the mailing address on the Intake Form, by the second method Customer chooses on the Intake Form (email or text message), and to the alternate contact named on the Intake Form. Customer must tell DCS in writing if Customer’s mailing address, email, or phone number changes.

Notice required by Michigan law (MCL 570.523): NOTICE: If you fail to make your required payments, you will have to vacate the unit or your property may later be sold at a public sale. Before the sale, you will be notified by first-class mail or by electronic mail of the amount due. The notice will be mailed to your last known address. In order to preserve your right to be notified, it is important that you notify us in writing of any change in your mailing address. Also, you should supply us with the name and address of another person who can reach you if you are not at your mailing address, and we will notify that person at the same time and in the same manner as we notify you.

13. Termination

Either party may end this Agreement with 30 days’ written notice. DCS may end it immediately for a Rules violation or safety concern. If DCS ends this Agreement for a reason other than Customer’s breach, DCS will refund the unused part of the fee on a prorated daily basis. No refund is due if Customer ends this Agreement or if DCS ends it for Customer’s breach.

14. Other terms

Customer may not sublet or assign the Space. Except for notices under Section 12, notice by email to the addresses on the Agreement is valid. Michigan law governs, and any dispute will be heard in Van Buren County. This Agreement, the Rules, and the Intake Form are the whole agreement.
