Imported Portable Toilet Rental and Sale Contract

Admin October 09, 2026

The imported portable toilet rental and sale contract should be formulated by combining rental terms with the characteristics of imported products. The core content is as follows:

1. Description of the Rented Item

The brand, model, specifications, materials, and customization requirements of the imported portable toilet should be clearly specified. For example, it can be agreed that the equipment is a "Xinzhang" brand imported plastic portable toilet, with specifications of 1000×1000×2400mm, a capacity of 0.4 cubic meters, and colors and additional functions (such as lighting and ventilation) customized according to the lessee's needs. If cross-border rental is involved, import certification documents such as the equipment's country of origin and customs declaration number should be supplemented to ensure that the equipment complies with domestic usage standards (such as environmental protection and hygiene certifications).

2. Rental Period and Rent

  1. Rental Period: Clearly specify the start and end dates. After the expiration of the rental period, the lessee has the right of first refusal for renewal and should notify the lessor in writing 15 days in advance.
  2. Rent and Payment:
    • Rent Calculation: It can be calculated based on "unit price × quantity × rental days" or a fixed monthly rent (such as 450 yuan/month/unit). The more units rented, the lower the unit price (for example, 400 yuan/unit for 2-9 units, and 300 yuan/unit for ≥20 units).
    • Payment Method: A 30% advance payment should be made after the contract is signed, and the remaining balance should be paid in installments according to the rental progress (such as paying off the monthly rent by the 5th of each month) or settled in full within 7 days after the event ends.
    • Late Payment Penalty: If the lessee fails to pay on time, a penalty of 0.5% of the unpaid amount per day will be charged. If the payment is overdue for more than 15 days, the lessor has the right to reclaim the equipment and claim compensation for losses.

3. Responsibilities of Both Parties

  1. Responsibilities of the Lessor:
    • Ensure that the equipment is a brand-new imported product that meets the specifications and performance standards specified in the contract.
    • Be responsible for the transportation, installation, commissioning, and maintenance, cleaning, and disinfection of the equipment during the rental period (such as daily removal of excreta and disinfection of toilet facilities).
    • Provide 24-hour emergency repair services. Equipment failures should be responded to within 4 hours and repaired within 24 hours.
  2. Responsibilities of the Lessee:
    • Pay the rent on time and use the equipment reasonably (such as prohibiting overloading and unauthorized modification of circuits or structures).
    • Bear the repair costs or compensate at the market price for equipment damage caused by human factors (such as scratching the outer shell or clogging the pipes).
    • Return the equipment according to the lessor's requirements after the expiration of the rental period and cooperate with the removal and transportation work.

4. Liability for Breach of Contract and Dispute Resolution

  1. Breach by the Lessor: If the lessor fails to provide the equipment as agreed or the equipment has quality issues, the lessor should refund the received rent and compensate the lessee for direct losses (such as event delay costs).
  2. Breach by the Lessee: If the lessee sublets or modifies the equipment without authorization or is overdue in payment for more than 30 days, the lessor has the right to terminate the contract and require a penalty of 50% of the remaining rent.
  3. Dispute Resolution: If both parties fail to reach an agreement through negotiation, they can submit the dispute to the court in the place where the contract is signed (such as Qingpu District, Shanghai) for litigation or agree on an arbitration institution (such as the Shanghai International Arbitration Center) for arbitration.

5. Special Clauses for Imported Equipment

If cross-border rental is involved, the following should be supplemented:

  • Customs Declaration and Taxes: Clearly specify which party will handle the customs declaration procedures and which party will bear the customs duties and value-added taxes.
  • Transportation Insurance: Agree on the insurance liability for the equipment during transportation (such as the lessor insuring the equipment for total loss, and the lessee bearing the insurance premium).
  • Return Transportation Clauses: Specify the costs and responsibility division for returning the equipment to the exporting country after the expiration of the rental period.

The actual contract should be adjusted according to the negotiation results of both parties. It is recommended that a legal professional review the clauses to avoid ambiguities.
