The protection plan is an optional amendment to your self storage rental agreement. If you choose to purchase a protection plan, the agreement is between you, as tenant, and the owner or manager of The Stored Nut Hut. The liability of the store owner is limited to the terms, limits, and conditions of the protection plan. SafeLease Insurance Services LLC is not a party to the protection plan; its role is limited to providing insurance coverage for the facility owner and administering tenant claims.

The Nut Hut requires property coverage on every rental. You may meet this with a protection plan or with your own homeowners or renters insurance. The plan may duplicate coverage provided by a homeowners or renters policy. It is month-to-month and may be cancelled at any time. This page is a summary; refer to your rental agreement and Protection Plan Addendum for full terms, conditions, limits, and exclusions. Protection plans are not insurance.
