Movers Finsbury Park Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Movers Finsbury Park provides removal, relocation, packing, transportation, and related services within its service area. By making a booking, using our services, or allowing our team to carry out any work, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
These Terms and Conditions apply to consumers and, where applicable, to business customers. If you are entering into this agreement on behalf of a company, partnership, or other organisation, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that organisation to these Terms and Conditions.
1. Definitions
In these Terms and Conditions, the following expressions have the meanings set out below.
Agreement means the contract between you and Movers Finsbury Park comprising these Terms and Conditions and any written quotation or confirmation of booking.
Services means any removal, packing, loading, unloading, transportation, storage coordination, or related services provided by us.
Goods means the items, belongings, furniture, and property that you ask us to handle, pack, move, or transport.
Service Area means the geographic area within which we routinely provide our removal and related services, as communicated by us from time to time.
We, us, our means Movers Finsbury Park.
You, your means the customer entering into the Agreement with us, whether as an individual or on behalf of an organisation.
2. Quotations and Prices
All quotations are based on the information you provide to us regarding the property locations, access conditions, the volume and nature of Goods, and any special requirements. If this information is inaccurate or incomplete, we reserve the right to revise the quotation and charge for any additional work, waiting time, or resources required.
Quotations may be provided as fixed price quotations or estimates. Where a quotation is described as an estimate, the final price may vary to reflect actual time taken, distance travelled, and resources used.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, our quotations do not include customs duties, parking charges, congestion or clean air zone charges, tolls, ferry fees, storage costs, or third-party charges. These will be payable in addition if they apply.
All prices are subject to applicable UK taxes. If the rate of tax changes between the date of the quotation and the date of the Services, we will adjust the amount of tax you pay accordingly.
3. Booking Process
A booking is considered provisional until it has been confirmed by us in writing. We may provide confirmation in the form of a booking confirmation, invoice, or similar document. We reserve the right to decline any booking at our discretion.
To make a booking, you must provide us with accurate details, including the collection and delivery addresses, approximate inventory, preferred date and time, details of access or parking restrictions, and any Goods requiring special handling. You must inform us of any changes to this information as soon as reasonably possible.
Your Booking Date is not guaranteed until any applicable deposit has been received and we have issued a written confirmation. Booking is always subject to resource and vehicle availability on the relevant date.
We may require a minimum lead time for bookings, particularly during busy periods. Short-notice bookings may be subject to additional charges or may be unavailable.
4. Payments and Deposits
We may require a deposit to secure your booking. The amount and payment due date for the deposit will be specified at the time of booking. Failure to pay the deposit by the due date may result in cancellation of your provisional booking.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment of the remaining balance is due on or before completion of the Services on the day of the move. We may refuse to start or continue the Services, or to release Goods from our vehicles, if payment is not made in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
We reserve the right to charge reasonable additional fees for delays caused by factors outside our control, including but not limited to waiting for keys, lack of access to premises, or restrictions on parking or loading that you did not inform us about in advance.
If you fail to pay any amount due under the Agreement, we may charge interest on overdue amounts in accordance with applicable UK law, and we may take reasonable steps to recover the debt, including the use of debt collection agencies or legal proceedings. You will be responsible for our reasonable costs in recovering overdue amounts.
5. Cancellations and Changes
You may cancel or amend your booking by providing us with written notice. The following cancellation terms will normally apply, unless we have agreed otherwise in writing.
If you cancel more than a specified number of working days before the scheduled Service Date, we will typically refund any deposit paid, less any reasonable administrative costs. If you cancel within a shorter notice period, a cancellation fee may be payable, which may be up to the full amount of the quoted price depending on how much notice you provide and any costs already incurred by us.
We reserve the right to charge for any non-refundable costs that we have incurred on your behalf, such as parking suspensions, permits, or third-party services, regardless of when you cancel.
If you request changes to the date, time, or scope of the Services, we will try to accommodate your request but cannot guarantee availability. Changes may result in an adjusted quotation or additional charges. If we cannot accommodate the changes and you choose to cancel, the cancellation terms set out in this clause will apply.
In the unlikely event that we need to cancel or reschedule your booking due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, such as extreme weather, vehicle breakdown, staff illness, or safety concerns, we will notify you as soon as practicable and offer an alternative date or a refund of any sums you have paid for Services not provided. We will not be liable for any indirect or consequential losses arising from such cancellation or rescheduling.
6. Your Responsibilities
You must ensure that you have the authority to arrange for the Goods to be moved and that where necessary the consent of the owner or any other relevant party has been obtained before the Services commence.
You are responsible for packing, securing, and protecting your Goods unless you have arranged and paid for our packing service. Where we provide packing, you must give us clear instructions regarding fragile or high-value items and ensure these items are set aside or identified for special handling.
You must ensure that all Goods are ready to be moved at the agreed time and that our team has safe, clear, and reasonable access to all premises involved, including appropriate parking space near the property. You are responsible for arranging any necessary parking permissions or suspensions unless we have agreed to handle this as a separately chargeable service.
You must disconnect and, where applicable, defrost all appliances before the move unless you have explicitly arranged for us to provide this service. We cannot accept liability for any damage resulting from improper disconnection or preparation of appliances not carried out by us.
You must remove any items that are prohibited or unsafe to transport under these Terms and Conditions or under applicable law. If we discover such items, we may refuse to move them, and we may terminate the Services without refund if the situation presents a risk to health, safety, or compliance.
7. Items We Will Not Move
We will not transport any Goods that are illegal, hazardous, explosive, or otherwise unsafe, including but not limited to firearms, ammunition, gas cylinders, flammable liquids, corrosive substances, toxic chemicals, or perishable goods likely to deteriorate during transit.
We also reserve the right to refuse to move cash, jewellery, watches, important documents, or items of exceptional value, unless agreed in writing and properly declared to us in advance. You remain responsible for such items at all times unless we have expressly agreed otherwise.
If we become aware that prohibited or unsafe items are contained within your Goods, we may remove, dispose of, or refuse to transport them as we consider appropriate for safety and compliance. You may be liable for any costs, fines, or losses we incur as a result of transporting or handling such items without our knowledge.
8. Provision of the Services
We will provide the Services using reasonable care and skill, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and any written specification or quotation agreed with you. Timings for arrival and completion are estimates only and may be affected by traffic, access issues, weather, or other factors beyond our reasonable control.
We may use such vehicles, equipment, and personnel as we consider appropriate for the performance of the Services, having regard to the information you have provided. We may use subcontractors where necessary, but we will remain responsible to you for the proper performance of the Services.
We will take reasonable steps to protect your property and Goods during the move, but you acknowledge that some degree of minor wear and tear, scuffs, or marks can occur during removals, especially where access is tight or where Goods are large, heavy, or fragile.
9. Liability and Limitations
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other matter that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded under UK law.
Subject to the above, our liability for loss of or damage to Goods or property arising from our negligence or breach of contract will be limited to a reasonable amount, taking into account the value of the Goods moved and the fees paid for the Services. If you wish to declare a higher value for your Goods or arrange additional insurance, you must notify us in advance so that we can discuss appropriate arrangements or enhanced cover where available.
We are not liable for loss or damage that arises from your failure to fulfil your responsibilities under these Terms and Conditions, including improper packing by you or by a third party, inaccurate information about the volume or nature of Goods, failure to disclose fragile or high-value items, or failure to arrange suitable access and parking.
We are not responsible for normal wear and tear, minor cosmetic damage, or pre-existing defects. We will not be liable for any indirect, consequential, or purely economic loss such as loss of profit, loss of opportunity, or loss of enjoyment arising out of or in connection with the Services.
We do not accept liability for loss or damage to the following items unless we have expressly agreed in writing to handle them and you have followed any instructions we give: jewellery, money, important documents, data, electronic files, irreplaceable items, antiques, or works of art.
Any claim for loss or damage must be notified to us in writing as soon as reasonably possible and, in any event, within a reasonable time after the completion of the Services. You must provide reasonable evidence of the loss or damage and give us a fair opportunity to inspect and investigate before any repairs or disposal are carried out.
10. Waste and Disposal Regulations
Our role is to provide removal and transportation services. We are not a licensed waste carrier unless we have expressly stated otherwise, and we do not normally provide waste disposal, rubbish clearance, or tip runs. Any such services will only be provided if agreed in writing and carried out in accordance with applicable UK waste regulations.
You must not ask us to dispose of controlled waste, hazardous materials, or other items that require special handling or permits unless we have confirmed that we are authorised and able to do so. If we agree to remove unwanted items, you remain responsible for ensuring that these items may lawfully be disposed of and for providing accurate information about their nature and condition.
Where we arrange disposal of items as part of the Services, we will use appropriate facilities and carriers in accordance with relevant regulations. Additional fees may apply for disposal, recycling, or special handling of bulky items, electrical goods, or regulated materials.
11. Delays and Events Beyond Our Control
We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform the Services where such delay or failure results from events beyond our reasonable control. This may include, but is not limited to, adverse weather, road closures, traffic incidents, vehicle breakdown, accidents, public transport disruption, industrial action, or acts of government or public authorities.
If an event beyond our control occurs, we will take reasonable steps to minimise its effect on the Services and will keep you informed where possible. If considerable delay or inability to perform the Services is likely, we may agree a revised date or time with you. If we are unable to agree a solution, either party may terminate the Agreement in respect of Services not yet performed, and we will refund any payments made for those Services, less any reasonable costs already incurred.
12. Complaints
If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of the Services, you should notify us as soon as possible so that we can attempt to resolve the issue quickly. You should provide as much information as possible, including relevant dates, locations, and details of any Goods affected.
We will investigate any complaint fairly and promptly and will respond to you within a reasonable period, outlining our findings and any proposed resolution. Your statutory rights are not affected by this complaints process.
13. Privacy and Data
We will collect and use your personal information for the purposes of providing the Services, managing your booking, taking payment, and, where permitted, communicating with you about related services. We will handle your personal data in accordance with applicable UK data protection laws.
We will not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your details with subcontractors or service partners where this is necessary to perform the Services, provided that they agree to use your information only for that purpose and to keep it secure.
14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the Services, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
You and we agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the Agreement or its subject matter.
15. General Provisions
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court or competent authority, that provision shall, to the extent required, be deemed deleted, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
No failure or delay by us in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms and Conditions shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy. A waiver of any right or remedy shall only be effective if it is in writing and signed by us.
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under the Agreement without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations where reasonably necessary in connection with our business, provided that this does not reduce your rights under the Agreement.
These Terms and Conditions, together with any written quotation or confirmation of booking, constitute the entire agreement between you and us in relation to the Services and supersede any prior representations, discussions, or understandings, whether written or oral.
By confirming your booking or permitting our team to commence work, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
