Custody agreement

Detailed template of a custody agreement to store goods for a fee, such as items of private individuals, companies’ supplies or the sound equipment of a band. These goods can be stored in a barn, a warehouse or some other locked space. This contract is also referred to as a deposit agreement.

Our model contract is suitable for commercial use, but is also useful for private individuals. The contract includes the name of the owner of the items and who is responsible in case of damage or theft. It is also clear that this is not a rental agreement. Furthermore, the agreement contains arrangements about payment and the collection and return of the goods.

Context

This document in the following situations:
In the case of temporary storage of goods the owner of the storage is in a fairly strong legal position. If the bailor does not pay for the services or if payment is late, the bailee may retain the goods. This custody agreement clearly states that if the goods are not collected within the agreed term, the bailee has the right to move the goods or to sell them.

Please note: this contract is only suitable for the storage of goods. To garage (motor)vehicles you need to use our storage agreement (in Dutch: stallingsovereenkomst).
