1. A print material storage container comprising:
a substrate on which an electric circuit having a terminal is provided, the substrate having a through hole;
a fixing portion configured so that the substrate is mounted on the fixing portion by re-fixing, the fixing portion having an initial fixing member formed thereon that, when the substrate is initially mounted on the fixing portion, the initial fixing member penetrates the through hole from a first surface of the substrate that faces the fixing portion toward a second surface of the substrate that faces away from the fixing portion; and
a fixing member configured to fix a non-terminal portion without the terminal of the substrate to the fixing portion, the fixing member being positioned on the first surface of the substrate, wherein the non-terminal portion includes a re-fixed portion configured to be re-fixed to the fixing portion by the fixing member.
