TERMS OF SERVICE AND CARRIAGE:       

PRICING AND FEES:  An estimate is always issued prior to the commencement of any contract, typically the estimates are accurate in the majority of cases. However, should the customers requirements change so will the final invoice amount, Invoice totals may be greater or lesser than the estimate should this happen. The estimate will be issued in writing which MUST be accepted and signed before commencement of service. It is a condition of the insurance that this contract document is signed prior to undertaking ANY service to the customer. Should we undertake an "absent collection" the contract must be signed prior to offloading the vehicle. Fees are charged for both outward and return journeys. "Keywaiting" is charged at £20 per hour

INSURANCE: The vehicle is insured for Third Party, Fire & Theft risks, this relates to the vehicle & passengers only and not contents. All customer property, shipments and goods carried in the vehicle are covered by Goods In Transit Insurance up to £16,000 per claim with a £250 excess payable by the customer unless the Insurance Waiver Premium of £15 is agreed IN ADVANCE, paid for and recorded on the Invoice. The insurance covers loss of or physical damage to items caused by the driver or during transport but not internal malfunction such as vibration damage where all reasonable steps are taken to secure the load. Certain items are excluded from cover. In the event of loss or damage to goods the full invoice amount must be paid by the customer in order to benefit from the Insurance cover. If the Insurance Waiver is not paid the insurance excess must be paid by the customer from any compensation they may receive. In all claims the decision of the Insurer is final. Reimbursement will be forwarded to the customer within 7 days of receipt from the Insurer. In all cases the invoice MUST be fully paid.

CARRIAGE OF PASSENGERS: Customers may only be carried in the front passenger seats during the undertaking of the contracted service. This may be to a start location, on a return trip or whilst their goods are in the vehicle. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will passengers be carried in the rear of the vehicle at any time. Should customers request the carriage of a child passenger they must provide a suitable child seat/booster seat as required by law. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES shall a child passenger be carried unless accompanied by an adult. No liability is accepted for injury to passengers whilst joining, alighting from, loading or unloading the vehicle. It is also the passengers/customers responsibility to adhere to any Health & Safety document or signage provided.

DANGEROUS GOODS: The vehicle insurance does not allow the carriage of certain dangerous, hazardous or toxic goods, common sense dictates as a general rule. However, the driver reserves the right to refuse the carriage of any goods that contravene the Insurance regulations.

LIVESTOCK: No animal is to be carried in the vehicle with the exception of domestic pets  (excluding insects & arachnids). They must be secured in a purpose made transport enclosure (eg. Cat Carrier or Bird Cage). Should any animal foul the interior of the vehicle there is a £10 cleaning charge.

 
DRIVER ASSISTANCE: The driver is at the disposal of the customer during the period of paid service, this may include loading, unloading, packing, assembly of furniture and other reasonably requested tasks. Should the driver undertake such tasks as the assembly of furniture it is always the customers responsibility to ensure such works are to a satisfactory standard BEFORE the driver leaves, no later claims will be entertained. Certain manual handling equipment is provided (e.g. sack barrow) and all such equipment must be returned at the end of service otherwise it will be charged to the customer at the current replacement rate.

STATUTORY FEES: The driver will charge to the customers invoice all statutory fees incurred during service including: Bridge Tolls, Road Tolls, Congestion Charges, Pay & Display and similar. This will include round trips & return trips where fees are incurred during the most direct return route.

PARKING VIOLATIONS: The customer MUST ensure there is sufficient legal parking for the vehicle at all of the locations where service is provided, the required space is approximately equivalent to that of 2 cars. The driver reserves the right to park the vehicle at the nearest available legal parking place to the location to avoid parking fines etc. and that goods must be shipped to or from the vehicle from that place. If the customer requests the driver to park in any position that contravenes parking regulations (e.g. yellow lines/permit parking) the customer must sign a disclaimer accepting to pay any incurred parking fines plus £5 administration fee per fine but this is solely at the drivers discression. It is the drivers responsibility to ensure that all paid parking (e.g. Pay & Display) is paid which will be charged to the customers invoice if incurred during paid service.

 
SPEED LIMITS: The driver will at no time exceed legal speed limits, this is the drivers responsibility. The national speed limit for the vehicle on both Dual Carriageways and Motorways is 60mph. The vehicle is speed limited to 60mph however under heavy loads may be less.

INABILITY TO DISPENSE DUTY: If for any reason (such as illness or mechanical failure of the vehicle) the driver is unable to undertake or complete any service requested the driver accepts no liability for direct or indirect losses incurred. In the unlikely event of the vehicle suffering mechanical breakdown during service the driver will undertake to resume and complete service as quickly as practicable. Fees will not be payable during such period of breakdown but will resume once the vehicle is underway. On any such occasion the fees for service will remain payable however the driver may choose (at his discression) to levy up to a 25% discount from LABOUR time for the inconvenience to the customer. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES shall the driver be liable for any costs should the customer wish to complete any journey of their goods or persons by any other means.

PAYMENT: Payment is accepted ONLY by cash or personal cheque up to guarantee card limit, the card must be presented at the time of payment and it’s details recorded on the back of the cheque.

Following this should an invoice remain unpaid for 30 days from the service completion date the customer shall be issued with legal proceedings for recovery of the debt and any fees incurred.

INSPECTION OF DOCUMENTS: Customers may at any time request to inspect any Insurance Certificate or legal Vehicle Document, these are normally carried in the vehicle for this purpose.
