Why use a warehousing agreement?

A warehousing agreement protects both the warehouse operator and the consignor by clearly defining roles, responsibilities, and liability for stored goods.

Clear roles and responsibilities

Define each party's obligations for tendering, storing, handling, and releasing goods at the warehouse.
Protection against disputes

Establish agreed terms for liability, indemnity, and resolution before issues arise in storage.
Legally structured fee terms

Set transparent warehouse fee obligations and tax responsibilities under EU and member state law.
