Storage charges begin the day the Vessel arrives at the Facilities and, if Storage terminates prior to its scheduled expiration, certain fees may be refunded, as and to the extent provided in the Fee Schedule posted in BJYY’s main office, as it may change from time-to-time. All charges must be paid before the Vessel is launched or loaded or leaves the Facilities.
