Handy Removals Terms and Conditions

Introduction
These conditions explain the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of all parties to this Agreement. Where we use the word ‘You’ or ‘Your’ it means the Customer: ‘We’, ‘Us’ or ‘Our’ means the Remover. These terms and conditions can be varied or amended subject to prior written agreement. In Clauses 8, 9, 10, and 11 We set out our liability to You for loss and damage to Your goods and premises. Please read these clauses carefully. We are able to insure your goods on our policy up to a maximum figure of £10,000.00 if you accept our Insurance T&C  (see Term 12).
An excess of £250.00 is applied for every claim, which is automatically discounted to from the total value of the item. We offer up to £50.00 to cover the cost of repairs or replacements that are not worth claiming from insures due to excess charge.

6 Postponement, Cancelation and Waiting Charges

If You wish to cancel or postpone a booking you must notify us in writing (email is acceptable).

If we are prevented from doing so for reasons beyond our control, waiting charges will become payable at a rate of £20 per man and per vehicle per hour plus VAT. We offer a Waiting Charge Waiver for a fee equivalent to 7.5% of the total removal charge. If the Waiting Charge Waiver is accepted and paid for at least 24 hours prior to the move commencing, all waiting charges will be waived for a maximum of three hours.

7 Payment
7.1 Unless otherwise agreed by Us in writing, payment is required in full by cleared funds in advance of the storage period and at the point of booking for removals. In default of such payment We reserve the right to refuse to commence removal or storage until such payment is received. Such advance payments are protected under the BAR Pre-Payment Protection scheme as detailed in the BAR Code of Practice.
7.3 You may not withhold payment for any reason (except with our written consent). Failure to comply with our payment terms will result in any liability that we have previously agreed to accept for Your goods becoming null and void.

7.5 Storage charges are calculated by rounding up to the nearest full week (also see Term 1.3.6).
7.6 In respect of all sums which are overdue to us, We will charge 2% of the amount owed to us for each week that the account remains overdue.

8 Our liability for loss or damage
8.1 If You choose not to accept Our Insurance Option We limit Our liability to a fixed limit per item. The amount of liability We accept under this agreement is reflected in Our charges for the work. If You wish Us to increase Our limit of liability per item You agree to pay a higher price for the work as stated in Term 1.3.12 (Our Quotation). Unless otherwise agreed in writing, if we are negligent or in breach of contract We will pay You up to £50 for each item which is lost or damaged as a direct result of any negligence or breach of contract on Our part to cover (or contribute towards) the cost of repairing or replacing that item. However, the first £50 of the total value of the claim(s) is excluded from Our liability.
8.1.1 Subject to Our having received Your itemised valued inventory (see Term 3.1.1) within a reasonable period prior to the commencement of work We may agree to increase Our liability, for an additional charge. We will not unreasonably withhold consent to such a request. This is not insurance cover and Your attention is drawn to the Insurance Option in Clause 12.
8.2 For goods destined to, or received from a place outside the United Kingdom;
8.2.1 We will only accept liability for loss or damage arising from Our negligence or breach of contract whilst the goods are in Our physical possession (Term 8.1.1 above will apply).
8.2.2 Where We engage an international transport operator, shipping company or airline to convey Your goods to the place, port or airport of destination, We do so on Your behalf and subject to the terms and conditions set out by that carrier.

These are insurable risks and it is Your responsibility to arrange adequate marine/transit insurance cover.
8.2.4 We do not accept liability for goods confiscated, seized, removed or damaged by Customs Authorities or other Government Agencies.
8.3 For the purposes of this Agreement an item is defined as:

8.3.2 Any other object or thing that is moved, handled or stored by us.

9 Damage to premises, property or other goods

10.6 We shall not be liable for loss or damage if there are other workmen at either the collection or delivery addresses unless it is proved beyond reasonable doubt that Our staff were responsible.

11 Time limit for claims
11.1 If You or Your authorised representative collect the goods, We must be notified in writing (on the release form or waybill) of any damage before You or Your agent load the item(s) in question and also notified in writing (on the release form or waybill) of any loss before You or Your agent leave Our premises or the hand over location.
11.2 We will not be liable for any loss or damage to any property or premises unless it is pointed out to our staff and noted by You on the waybill before Our staff leave the premises (see Term 9.1.3).
