Storage Agreement
1. Scope
This Storage Agreement supplements the Terms of Service of EdCo Fulfillment LLC and governs the custody of Client merchandise at our logistics center in Fairview, Oregon.
2. Inbound receiving
- The Client gives at least 48 hours notice of an inbound shipment of inventory (carrier, tracking number, estimated quantity).
- Customer returns are the exception. A buyer sends a parcel back when they send it, so no advance notice is expected on returns or on carrier returns-to-sender. Where returns are part of the account, the return authorization the Client issues stands as the notice.
- Every reception includes counting, verification against packing list, and photo evidence.
- Discrepancies between received and declared quantities are reported to the Client within 24 business hours.
3. Storage conditions
- Controlled ambient temperature (18°C – 24°C / 64°F – 75°F).
- Relative humidity < 60 %.
- Products with special requirements (cold, high value, fragile, hazardous) require a separate written agreement and may have additional charges.
- Perishables or products requiring strict cold chain: not accepted unless previously agreed.
4. Prohibited products
EdCo does NOT store: weapons, ammunition, explosives, controlled substances, products illegal in the US or Oregon, flammable materials without certification, loose lithium batteries without certified packaging, perishables without agreed refrigeration, or any product violating local or federal laws.
5. Storage fees
- Monthly billing per occupied position. One month minimum.
- Minimum billable: 1 position per month.
- Long-term storage (>180 days without movement): 25 % surcharge.
6. Inventory and reconciliation
- The Client can view every inbound receipt, every order and its photographic evidence on the portal at portal.edcofulfillment.com.
- EdCo performs internal monthly cyclical counting.
- Any discrepancy detected is notified to the Client and the inventory is adjusted after documented reconciliation.
7. Liability for damages
- EdCo is liable for damages directly caused by operational negligence in its custody, up to the replacement cost or declared value (whichever is lower).
- EdCo is NOT liable for: natural deterioration, product defects, pre-existing damage at intake, force majeure (fire, flood, earthquake, riot).
- Recommended: Client cargo insurance. EdCo can facilitate a quote via partner.
8. Outbound retrieval
- The Client can retrieve their merchandise with 72 hours notice via the portal or email.
- Total retrieval upon service termination: 30 days from notification. After that, additional storage charges apply and potential disposition under Oregon abandoned-goods laws (ORS 87.142–87.169).
9. Audit and inspection
The Client, with 5 business days advance notice, may inspect their merchandise during operating hours (Mon–Fri, 09:00–17:00 PT). EdCo facilitates supervised access.
10. Effective period
This agreement is effective from the Client's first inbound and remains valid while EdCo holds their inventory. Unilateral modifications require 30 days written notice.
