Customer agrees to pay storage charges for the services provided by RedBin at the monthly amount identified in the customer account portal and/or based on the amount of bins ordered by customer and stored on customer’s behalf including any extraneous items also identified in the customer’s order form and portal.

Charge upgrades: customer acknowledges that storage can be a dynamic process in that items and moving to and from customer often many times throughout the term of agreement. In this time customer may wish to upgrade or downgrade there account by adding additional items into storage or deducting items from storage. An upgrade is when a client orders additional bins into storage above the original order. In this case the additional bins or upgraded items will be prorated to the date of original storage and invoiced accordingly. Downgrade is identified as a reduction in storage. A downgrade occurs when a customer’s original storage is reduced by the customer ordering bins back and essentially reducing their inventory.
