I. STORAGE FEES-

DELAYED PICKUP/SHIPMENT OF GOODS

When we set or agree to a price for the sale of an item, we assume the buyer will be paying/arranging for shipment or picking the item up very shortly. We never have enough room to store items not yet sold, let alone sold items (and we really don't want to be in the business of storing items). Items that are left here are continually in the way and are subject to damage and degradation as they are continually moved around to make way for ongoing activity. Items where shipping arrangements and payment have not been made, or where the item is not otherwise picked up, within 5 days of the sale date (even though the item itself has been paid for) are subject to a daily storage fee. The fee for small, hand-held size items is $3.50 per day. The fee for items that ship on a pallet is $25 per day. Between size items are subject to daily fees between these two numbers. Really BIG stuff may be subject to storage fees of as much as $100 per day.

** The buyer forfeits the item and any payments made when the fees reach the sale price of the item or at 15 days, whichever comes first. No money will be returned for forfeited items. Items are subject to re-listing immediately upon forfeiture. For items that have incurred storage fees, CASH payment of the fees due will be required for the item to be shipped or released for pickup.

If you think you may have reason for delayed pickup, contact us in advance to get an estimate of the cost.

We hate to have to institute this policy, but unclaimed items are consuming our precious limited storage space that we have to pay dearly for.

II. VEHICLE STORAGE FEES

All charges for repairs including labor and materials furnished are due and payable simultaneously with the delivery of the within described vehicle or prior to delivery upon the expiration of three (3) days after notice to Customer that the repairs have been completed. If the vehicle described herein is not picked up within three (3) days after such notice is given, ABT may charge daily storage fees at rates that are ordinary and customary for the area, but not to exceed $50.00 per day or the maximum rate allowable by applicable law.
IF THE STORAGE AMOUNT EXCEEDS THE COST OF REPAIR... AB AUTOMOTIVE WILL ASSUME THE VEHICLE AS ABANDONED AND FOLLOW STATUTE OF NEW JERSEY LAW AND WILL FOLLOW NECESSARY COURSE OF ACTION WHICH MAY INCLUDE FILING AS PER INSTRUCTIONS OF DISPOSAL OF ABANDONED VEHICLE. https://www.state.nj.us/mvc/pdf/vehicles/Repair_Facility_Packet.pdf

II. TRANSMISSION STORAGE FEES

All charges for repairs including labor and materials furnished are due and payable simultaneously with the delivery of the within described vehicle or prior to delivery upon the expiration of three (3) days after notice to Customer that the repairs have been completed. If the transmission described herein is not picked up within three (3) days after such notice is given, ABT may charge daily storage fees at rates that are ordinary and customary for the area, but not to exceed $25.00 per day or the maximum rate allowable by applicable law. IF A TRANSMISSION IS NOT PICKED UP WITHIN 15 DAYS WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION - STORAGE FEES AS STATED IN ITEM I OF THIS SECTION GO INTO EFFECT.

PAYMENT TERMS AND LATE FEES

All payments for undisputed charges are due upon receipt of the invoice and become past due if not paid five (5) business days after date of the invoice by Customer. ABT has the right to refuse credit cards, digital forms or payment, and checks. Any payment due that is not paid upon receipt shall be liable for a penalty in the amount of $100 for each failure to make payment in accordance with the payment schedule [30 days]. Payments shall be made in U.S. dollars. Payments for undisputed charges not received within five days shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lower of: (i) ten percent (16%) per annum or (ii) the highest rate permitted by law. This penalty shall be in addition to any other remedy that might be available to ABT under New Jersey law for breach of contract. Payments must be paid by the payee, with the payment obligation to ABT. Such payments shall be made free and clear of and without deduction in respect of any demand, set-off, counter-claim or other dispute except as otherwise specifically provided in written agreement. Customer shall pay Company’s costs of collection of payments due under this Agreement, including costs or expenses, collection, agency fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs. All amounts not timely and appropriately disputed shall be deemed final and not subject to further dispute.

Fees are non-refundable

Interest, penalties, and administrative costs.

Except as otherwise provided by statute, contract or excluded

(i) $100/month fee

(ii) Penalties at the rate of 16 percent a year or such other rate as authorized by law on any portion of a debt that is delinquent for more than 5 business days.

(iii) Administrative costs to cover the costs of processing and calculating delinquent debts.

(iv) Late payment charges under paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this section shall be computed from the date of delinquency.

(v) When a debt is paid in partial or installment payments, amounts received shall be applied first to outstanding penalty and administrative cost charges, second to accrued interest, and then to outstanding principal.

(vi) ABT shall consider waiver of interest, penalties and/or administrative costs, but holds no obligation to agree to these terms.

Collection in installments.

Whenever feasible, and except as required otherwise by law, debts owed to ABT, together with interest, penalties, and administrative costs as required by this regulation, should be collected in one lump sum. This is true whether the debt is being collected under administrative offset, including salary offset, or by another method, including voluntary payment. However, if the debtor is financially unable to pay the indebtedness in one lump sum, payment may be accepted in regular installments. If ABT agrees to accept payment in installments, it may require a legally enforceable written agreement from the debtor that specifies terms of the arrangement and which contains a provision accelerating the debt in the event the debtor defaults. The size and frequency of the payments should bear a reasonable relation to the size of the debt and ability of the debtor to pay. If possible, the installment payments should be sufficient in size, and frequency to liquidate ABT's claim within 1 year.

Administrative Costs

Administrative Fees shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar month. Fees shall be based either on the actual costs incurred or on cost analyses establishing an average cost for processing and handling delinquent debts.

Administrative costs may include [but not limited to]

Electronic Records: Labor charge of $25.00 plus $0.75 per page, or $200.00 total, whichever is less, for copies provided electronically.

Disclaimer: Fee statutes are subject to change. The information provided here is the most up-to-date available as of the original date of publication. This section shall not affect any fees or costs.

5. Attorney's Fees and Costs.

In the event that any aspect of this Agreement is deemed unenforceable, the court is empowered to modify this agreement to give the broadest possible interpretation permitted under NEW JERSEY law.

8. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed exclusively by the laws of NEW JERSEY, without regard to conflict of law provisions.

9. Exclusive Venue and Jurisdiction. Any lawsuit or legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any way whatsoever shall be exclusively brought to and litigated in the federal and state courts of MIDDLESEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY, while ABT is located within Middlesex County and shall be determined based on the County of wherever ABT is currently located.

NO CREDIT CARD CHARGEBACKS: As an ABT consumer, you agree to NOT, under any circumstances, initiate a credit card chargeback with respect to any charges.

You further agree that if, in violation of this policy, a credit card chargeback is initiated by consumer, this policy shall be conclusive evidence of the consumer's (i) agreement to not initiate a credit card chargeback and (ii) waiver of any rights to initiate a credit card chargeback. Each consumer acknowledges and agrees that on ABT's presentation of this policy to the bank, credit card company, or other financial institution that issued the credit card on which the disputed charges were made, such bank, credit card company, or other financial institution shall deny any credit card chargeback and shall re-credit all amounts to the account of ABT.

If a consumer initiates a credit card chargeback, such consumer, even if successful, shall remain liable for all purchases made, and/or payments for services at ABT and shall be responsible for all costs and expenses, including but not limited to, any attorneys' fees, court fees, storage fees, packaging and handling fees, transportation fees, and/or disposal fees, etc., incurred by or behalf of ABT in challenging the credit card chargeback. ABT will press all appropriate criminal charges against consumer with successful chargeback, including but not limited to theft by deception.
