services or any additional fees of the stored packages, Corporate
Movers may, without demand, sell or otherwise dispose of
any or all of the Customer’s stored items at public or private

at which a private sale or other intended disposition of the stored
items (or any portion thereof) is to take place, given at least
ten (10) days in advance shall be deemed reasonable notice to
