2. DELIVERY

HCRS agrees to supply equipment of the type specified on an as available basis ex HCRS depot locations in Australia. Hirer acknowledges receipt of the equipment hired hereunder in good condition as evidenced conclusively by its execution of this Agreement. Any time quoted by HCRS for delivery of equipment is an estimate only and HCRS is not liable for late delivery, or non-delivery, for any reason.

If Hirer commits any act of insolvency, all money due and owing by Hirer to HCRS, whether by way of credit or otherwise, will become due and payable immediately. HCRS reserves the right to suspend, with or without notice, any deliveries of goods or services if any payment due by Hirer to HCRS is overdue. Hirer must pay interest on the overdue amount, at 10 percent per annum, from the due date for payment until paid. Hirer must pay all costs and expenses (including legal costs) that may be incurred by HCRS in the attempted recovery of the overdue amount.

4. OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

Hirer shall at its sole cost and expense, maintain the equipment in good repair and safe operating condition. HCRS container’s equipment is identified by appropriate lettering and numbering, which Hirer agrees not to change or obliterate, except that at the request of HCRS, Hirer may change or supplement such marks, as HCRS shall request. Hirer may, however, add other markings as may be required, provided that the equipment so marked when returned by Hirer to HCRS, shall be free of all such markings. If Hirer fails to remove such markings, HCRS may remove such markings for the account of Hirer. Hirer shall have no power to incur, and shall keep the equipment free from charges, liens or encumbrances. Hirer shall comply with all legislation, by-laws and regulations affecting the use of the equipment.

5. REDELIVERY AND OFF-HIRE

Containers shall be returned to HCRS’s designated depot as listed in this Agreement. Equipment shall be off-hired on the date of physical redelivery into HCRS’s depot. To confirm an off-hire, the Hirer must fax or email the attached Off-Hire Notification Form. Hirer is liable to HCRS for all damage to or loss or destruction of the equipment subsequent to delivery and prior to return to HCRS except that caused by normal wear and deterioration. Normal wear and deterioration shall not include damage by forklifts or other handling equipment, or changes, which could have been prevented by normal maintenance and/or reasonable care in use. Hirer agrees to redeliver containers in clean condition and free of labels and graffiti. Upon redelivery of containers, damage repair or cleaning costs shall be to the account of Hirer. Hirer will pay such repair or cleaning costs, including GST, without deduction, within 14 days of the date of HCRS’s invoice. In the event of loss, theft, destruction of the equipment or damage thereto which HCRS, in its sole discretion shall determine is not repairable, rental charges shall terminate upon receipt by HCRS of written notice of such event, provided payment of the replacement value for the equipment as stated on the cover of this Agreement is made to HCRS within thirty (30) days of such notice. If payment is not made within thirty (30) days, rental charges shall continue to accrue unabated until HCRS receives such payment. Payments by Hirer shall not be applied to charges for the replacement value of equipment unless specified by Hirer. Should Hirer fail to return equipment upon termination of the Agreement Hirer agrees that all of its obligations (including, without limitations, the obligation to pay the hire charges) to HCRS shall continue in effect until all equipment hired under this Agreement has been returned to HCRS Containers.

6. SUB-HIRE AND ASSIGNMENT

Hirer shall not have the right to assign this Agreement or to sublet, rent or otherwise hire out or part with possession of the equipment, to any other party without prior written consent of HCRS Containers and such consent of HCRS shall not operate to relieve Hirer of any of its obligations hereunder. Hirer may not direct interchange equipment to another party.

7. QUIET ENJOYMENT

Hirer’s obligations under this Agreement are absolute and shall not be affected by any circumstance or event beyond Hirer’s control, of whatever nature. Provided Hirer complies with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Hirer shall have quiet possession of the containers.

8. DEFAULT, REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

Should Hirer default (i) in the payment of any sum due hereunder within fourteen (14) days of the date Hirer is invoiced by HCRS, (ii) in the performance of its other obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) cease doing business as a going concern, become insolvent, commit an act of bankruptcy or become the subject of any proceeding under any bankruptcy act, or its counterpart under the law of any territory outside of the jurisdiction of Australia, then HCRS may without notice and without releasing Hirer of its obligations hereunder, terminate this Agreement, declare the balance of the rental to be due and payable, and retake possession of the equipment free of any claims of Hirer, and for this purpose Hirer hereby irrevocably authorises HCRS to enter upon any property occupied by Hirer for the purpose of removal of containers hired to Hirer. HCRS may, in its sole discretion, waive a default by Hirer, but any such waiver or waivers shall not be construed to modify the terms of the Agreement between HCRS and Hirer. In the event of such termination by HCRS, Hirer shall no longer be in possession of the equipment with HCRS’s consent and Hirer shall return the equipment to HCRS’s designated depot as listed in this Agreement. Hirer shall continue to pay rental charges for equipment until the equipment is (i) returned in as good condition as received, normal wear and deterioration excepted, (ii) repaired and fit for subsequent rental, or (iii) settlement is made. Without limiting Hirer’s indemnity obligations under Section 9 of these Hire Terms & Conditions, should HCRS retake possession of all or any part of the equipment, Hirer authorises HCRS to take possession of any property in, on or attached to such equipment which is not the property of HCRS, and without liability for its care or safekeeping, to place such property in storage at the risk and expense of Hirer. With regard to any equipment not returned to HCRS within thirty (30) days of termination, Hirer will then owe HCRS an amount equal to the full replacement value as provided for in the Agreement, without regard to depreciation, for any equipment which has not been redelivered. Termination shall not relieve Hirer of any liabilities or obligations incurred prior to such return, repair or settlement. If Hirer shall neglect or omit to do anything in relation to the equipment whereby HCRS’s interest therein may be adversely affected, then HCRS may remedy such neglect or omission and all monies expended in so doing shall forthwith be payable by Hirer to HCRS. Repayment shall carry interest at the rate of ten (10%) percent per annum accruing on a daily basis until full repayment is received by HCRS.
