On this page, we are highlighting some of the key items for your attention. Toward that end, please note the following: To enable us to offer such an economically reasonable solution to our clients, we pass along only those costs attributed to your share of space allocated and the work performed. Along these lines, we also seek reimbursement for matters arising specifically due to our relationship with you, including collection, legal, and compliance matters as they may occur from time to time. Since only you know what is truly in the containers and what the insurable interest is for the contents of these containers, you may want to schedule this property at its replacement value and our location(s) on your insurance policies. If the material is of a confidential or proprietary nature, you may also want to update any liability policies. Our liability, if any, for any loss, damage, destruction or unauthorized access to records is limited to $2.00 per container unless excess valuation has been included by amendment to this Agreement and paid for by you. While we understand that the cost to replicate the intrinsic value of your records may not be represented in the $2.00 amount, this value is specific to each customer. We are also not liable for any loss of profit or special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages of any kind. Since increased privacy and confidentiality are two of the most frequently given reasons for the selection of Corodata, we invite you to make yourself acquainted with our facility and the steps we have taken to decrease your risk of exposure. Please remember that although we offer a robust database to track as much or little information that you supply, we can never confirm or deny that such information is definitive as to the contents in any particular container or file. The fees for services to be provided by us are listed on Schedule A. Billing will be on a monthly basis. Payment is due and payable upon receipt of this invoice and no later than 15 days of the invoice.
