Hire Terms & Conditions

These are the standard terms of Tera Containers, LLC (“we”, “us”) for the hire (rental) of shipping containers. A signed hire quotation or order confirmation forms the contract between us; if anything in that document conflicts with these terms, the quotation takes precedence.

Hire runs for the minimum term stated on your quotation and then continues on a rolling basis until you off-hire in writing or by phone, giving the notice period stated on your quotation. The minimum term applies even if you return the unit earlier.

Delivery is made to the address on your order, subject to safe access for our vehicles and lifting equipment. You are responsible for ensuring firm, level ground, adequate vehicle access, and a clear lift zone. Collection at the end of hire is included within our standard service area; charges may apply outside it. Failed deliveries or collections caused by unsuitable access may incur a wasted-journey charge.

Hire charges are billed monthly in advance by the method agreed. A security deposit may be required as stated on your quotation. Late payment may incur late fees and suspension of the hire, including removal of the unit, after notice.

Hired units remain our property at all times. You are responsible for reasonable care of the unit on site, for keeping it secure, and for insuring it against loss or damage while in your possession. You must not modify, paint, weld, or permanently fix the unit without our written consent.

The unit is hired for storage or the purpose agreed on your quotation. You must not use it to store hazardous, flammable, illegal, or perishable items, or for habitation unless expressly agreed in writing. You must comply with all applicable laws and site rules.

You are liable for damage to the unit beyond normal wear and tear, and for loss of the unit, while on hire to you. The cost of repair or replacement will be charged to you. Report any damage to us as soon as you become aware of it.

We may terminate the hire for breach (including non-payment, prohibited use, or damage) on written notice and recover the unit. On termination you must allow us access to collect the unit. Any deposit will be returned less deductions for unpaid rent, damage, or cleaning.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA. Any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Florida state and federal courts.
