CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT SIMPLE BOX HAS NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER AS TO CLAIMS FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO ANY PROPERTY STORED IN THE STORAGE CONTAINER. CUSTOMER HEREBY WAIVES ANY CLAIMS WHATSOEVER AGAINST SIMPLE BOX FOR LOSS OF AND DAMAGE TO ANY PROPERTY STORED IN EQUIPMENT RENTED HEREUNDER.
ACCEPTANCE
This serves as a master agreement covering all equipment rentals and deliveries. Customer shall be deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions upon the earliest to occur of: (i) delivery of items of equipment (“Equipment”) identified in the invoice to the site designated in the invoice (the “Site”) and use or acceptance thereof; or (ii) acknowledgment or other conduct of Customer indicating acceptance.
RENTAL PERIOD, DATE DUE, LATE CHARGES
The rental period for the storage unit is a one-month minimum, and is continued on a month-to-month basis. Rent is due by the first day of each rental period and shall be paid in advance. If rent is not received by the 10th of the month a LATE-FEE penalty of $20 or 20%, whichever is greater, will be charged to the Renter. Storage unit will be over-locked after a second late fee is assessed and your account will be charged an over-lock fee equal to the standard delivery fee. A $35 fee will be assessed for returned checks. In the event that a Renter has previously been in pre-Lien or Lien status, and becomes delinquent again, Simple Box will require that the container be vacated immediately.
TERMINATION OF RENTAL AGREEMENT
Either Renter or Simple Box may terminate this Rental Agreement by giving the other party 10 day advance notice.
CONDITION OF RENTAL UNIT AND DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
Upon delivery Renter accepts the storage unit for use as specified herein. Simple Box does not make any guarantees or promises regarding the temperature to be maintained in the unit or its suitability for the Renter’s use.
PURCHASE TERMS
Unless otherwise noted, Equipment and all charges related to delivery, accessories, and modifications must be paid in full prior to delivery. If payment is not received in full within 30 days of delivery date, a late penalty of $100 or 10% of the invoice, whichever is greater, will be applied to the account. If payment in full is not received within 60 days of delivery date, the Equipment will be repossessed, Purchaser will forfeit any deposits or payments made, and Simple Box will pursue the balance of the account through collections or court ordered payments.
ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING, LIENS, ETC.
Renter shall not sell, assign, sublease, pledge, mortgage, charge, lend, encumber, or part with possession of the Equipment or create or allow to be created any lien on the Equipment. In the event of any breach of this provision by Renter, Renter shall take all action necessary to have such charge, encumbrance or lien immediately removed and discharged. If Renter fails to perform its obligations under this section, Simple Box may, at its discretion, pay mind to any third party any sum necessary to procure the release of the Equipment from any charge, encumbrance, or lien and to recover such sum from the Renter forthwith without obligation on Simple Box's part to question the reasonableness of the charges assessed against the Equipment.
DEFAULT
Failure to comply with all conditions and terms of this agreement including the requirement to make rent payments as stated herein, constitutes a default of the agreement. As a remedy to the default, it is also agreed that Simple Box shall be entitled to immediately enter and take possession of the contents of the unit or remove the unit from the Renter’s location. Any personal property within the removed unit shall be retained by Simple Box and sold as outlined in the Default Lien Section below. The Renter hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Simple Box harmless from and against any and all claims for damage to property or personal injury costs including attorney’s fees arising from moving a loaded container. If access to Equipment is hindered in any way, it will be reported to local law enforcement as stolen property.
DEFAULT LIEN ON STORED PROPERTY
Failure to comply with all conditions and terms of this agreement including the requirement to make rent payments as stated herein, constitutes a default of the agreement. As a remedy to the default, it is also agreed that Simple Box shall be entitled to claim a lien against the goods stored in accordance with local law (RCW 19.150, Oregon Revised Statutes section 87.687, Arizona Revised Statutes section 33-1701) as well as any other remedies available in law or equity. In the event of default, Simple Box may deny access to the rented Equipment. Simple Box shall notify the Renter of the intention to seize and sell the stored property by first class mail, postage paid to the above address or addresses deposited in the mail by Simple Box at least 10 days before the sale. If the proceeds of the sale exceed the amount owed by the Renter for unpaid rent, late penalties, costs of sale, and other charges incident to the Renter’s default, that amount will be refunded by check mailed regular mail to the address stated in this paragraph. The account will be turned over to a collection agency if the proceeds of the sale do not fully pay the amount owed by Renter. If it is desired at any time to change the address stated in this agreement it must be acknowledged electronically or in writing by both Simple Box and Renter.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND TERMS THIS AGREEMENT AND THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND ONLY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS AGREEMENT CANNOT BE AMENDED, ALTERED, OR ABRIDGED IN ANY PARAGRAPH. NO SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN ANY EMPLOYEE OF SIMPLE BOX OR THE CUSTOMER SHALL HAVE ANY BEARING WHATSOEVER ON THIS AGREEMENT.
COMMON DELIVERY QUESTIONS
To ensure a safe delivery, please make sure the ground is hard-packed gravel or some other improved surface (asphalt, concrete, etc.), there are no low-hanging wires, and you have enough space for the truck to pull forward from the back of the box.
If the delivery area is on a bit of a slope, we recommend getting some gravel or several 12-inch 4×6 treated lumber blocks to help get the Box level and get some air-flow underneath the Box. We do not recommend railroad ties as they are often uneven and we’ve seen a lot of people injure themselves trying to drag them around. Containers are made to carry all of the weight at the corners, so all you need is a block under the corner (the drivers carry some dunnage on the trucks).
- For a 20’ box, we need 70 feet of space for the truck to pull forward in a straight line
- For a 40’ box, we need 140 feet for the truck & trailer to pull forward in a straight line
You can watch a video of a container delivery here: getsimplebox.com/container-delivery/
Our delivery team runs from 8:00am-4:30pm Monday-Friday. We love it when we have at least 3 days notice, but we will do all that we can to get your delivery done on your ideal day(s).
You do not need to be there for the delivery or pick-up as long as the delivery area is clear and we have a good idea of where you’d like the Box to be placed (some people leave a cone, lawn-chair, or brightly painted rock where they would like the doors to be placed). Your Driver will call or text when they are on their way to your place.
Our drivers are amazing, but there are some times when a site just isn’t suitable, or a customer changes their mind. If a customer’s ideal delivery location is not suitable, the driver will do all that they can to place the Box in an alternate nearby location.
We budget for up to 30 minutes at customer site to load or unload, and secure the container. If additional standby/setup/transport is needed, it is billed at $100 per hour. Any towing or repair bills resulting from insufficient site conditions will be passed straight through to the customer or delivery contact.
All Deliveries are subject to our Terms & Conditions and Hold Harmless/Liability Waiver listed below or available upon request by emailing service@getsimplebox.com or calling 1-855-855-4269.
