on all overdue accounts.

  1. Standard Liability

We have a “Goods in Transit” insurance policy (covering all Risks of Physical Loss or

Damage to Goods in Transit anywhere in European Union) which can be endorsed to cover

client’s goods. Please notify us of the value of your goods to be insured and we can provide

you a removals quote including an Insurance Option. Please note that this insurance has been

arranged solely in the name of our company. As our customer you will have no enforceable

rights under our insurance policy.

  1. If you provide us with a declaration of the value of your goods and you agree to pay an

additional charge the amount of our liability to you will be as follows:

  1. In the event of loss or damage caused by our negligence or breach of contract, our liability

to you will be assessed as a sum equivalent to the cost of their repair or replacement, taking

into account the age and condition of the goods immediately prior to their loss or damage but

subject to a maximum liability of £40,000 (unless we have agreed a higher amount with you).

  1. Where the lost or damaged item is part of a pair or a set, our liability to you, where it is

assessed to be the cost of replacement of that item, it is to be assessed as a sum equivalent to

the cost of that item in isolation, not the cost of that item as part of a pair or set.

  1. If you make any claim knowing the same to be false or fraudulent as regard to the amount

or otherwise, this insurance shall become void and all claims hereunder shall be forfeited.

  1. In line with the policy conditions, we do not accept responsibility for the first £250 of

every claim for loss or damage covered by this insurance.

  1. All claims arising from contracts of removals and/or storage within Great Britain must be

notified to the remover on the day of delivery of the property, whether unpacked or not.

III. Any liability under chapter I. or II. above is expressly subject to all or any other

applicable exclusions set out elsewhere in this agreement

  1. Delays in transit
  2. Unless we give a specifically agreed written timescale then arrival and departure times are

an estimate only.

  1. If we do not keep to an agreed written time scale schedule and any delay is within our

reasonable control we will pay your reasonable expenses which arise as a result of our not

keeping to the agreed written time schedule. If through no fault of ours we are unable to

deliver your goods, we will take them into store. This contract will then be fulfilled and any

additional service(s), including storage and delivery, will be at your expense.

  1. Damage to premises

We shall only be liable for damage to premises caused by our negligence. Any damages to

premises must be noted on the delivery receipt and confirmed in writing to us within seven

days unless you request a reasonable extension which we agree in writing.

  1. Time limits for claims

We will not be liable for any loss or damage to any goods unless any claim for loss or

damage is notified to us in writing WITHIN SEVEN DAYS (this is a requirement of

insurers) of either their collection by you or delivery by us to their destination, unless you

request a reasonable extension which we agree in writing.

  1. Our rights to withhold or dispose of goods

We have a legal right to withhold or ultimately dispose of some or all of the goods until you

have paid all our charges and other payments due under this contract. These include any

charges that we have paid out on your behalf. While we hold the goods and wait for payment

you will be liable to pay all storage charges and other costs incurred as a result of our

withholding your goods and these terms and conditions will continue to apply.

  1. Disputes
  2. If there is a dispute arising from this agreement which cannot be resolved either you or we

may refer the matter to the Ombudsman subject always to the rules of the Scheme from time

to time.

  1. If we sub-contract these conditions will still apply in full.

  3. We have the right to choose the method and route by which to carry out the work.

space/volume/capacity on our vehicles or the containers may be utilised for consignments.

  2. Where we produce a list of goods (inventory) or a receipt and send it to you, it will be

accepted as accurate unless you write to us within 7 days of the date of our sending, or a

reasonable period agreed between us, notifying us of any errors or omissions.

  1. Whole agreement

These Terms and Conditions together with our quotation are intended to form the whole

agreement between us and to prevail over any verbal discussions. Should we mutually agree

to any variation of these terms such variation should be confirmed in writing. Any variation

however agreed shall never invalidate the remainder of these Terms and Conditions.
