2. Scope of Services
The Company provides man and van and removal services, including collection, loading, transportation, unloading, and delivery of Goods. Additional services such as packing, unpacking, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and short-term waiting time may be available by prior agreement and may be subject to additional charges.
The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the Services requested are appropriate for the volume, nature, and special requirements of the Goods and the access at the collection and delivery locations.
3. Booking Process
3.1 Bookings may be made by the Customer via an agreed booking method such as online form or verbal agreement, subject to confirmation by the Company.
3.2 When requesting a booking, the Customer must provide accurate and complete information, including but not limited to:
a) Collection and delivery addresses.

d) Details of any heavy, bulky, fragile, or high value items.
e) Information about access conditions, including stairs, lifts, parking restrictions, and distances from vehicle to property.
3.3 The Company will use the information provided to give an estimate or quotation. Any significant inaccuracy or omission in the information provided may result in additional charges or, in serious cases, refusal to carry out or complete the Job.
3.4 A booking is only confirmed when expressly accepted by the Company. The Company reserves the right to refuse or cancel any booking in its discretion where it is not reasonably practicable or safe to perform the Services.
4. Estimates, Quotations and Pricing
4.1 Unless otherwise stated, prices are based on an hourly rate or a fixed price for specific work, taking into account factors such as distance, volume of Goods, and access conditions.
4.2 Any estimate or quotation is given in good faith based on the information provided by the Customer. The Company reserves the right to amend the price if:
a) The information provided by the Customer is incomplete or inaccurate.
b) The nature or quantity of Goods differs materially from what was stated.
c) Access is more restricted than described, or parking is unavailable or significantly limited.
d) Additional services are requested or required on the day, such as dismantling or additional loading assistance.
4.3 Where the Job is charged on an hourly basis, the charging period will begin from the agreed arrival time or from the time the vehicle arrives at the collection address, whichever is later, and finish when unloading is completed or the vehicle departs the final delivery address, whichever is later. Minimum charges may apply.
5. Payments and Invoicing
5.1 The Customer agrees to pay the full charges for the Services in accordance with the agreed price structure.
5.2 The Company may require a deposit or pre-payment to secure a booking. Any deposit required and the deadline for payment will be notified to the Customer during the booking process. Failure to pay a required deposit may result in cancellation of the booking.
5.3 Unless otherwise agreed in advance, payment of any remaining balance is due immediately on completion of the Job. The Company is entitled to withhold unloading or completion until payment is received.
5.4 The Company accepts payment via methods notified to the Customer prior to or at the time of the Job. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that sufficient funds are available.
5.5 For business Customers with credit terms agreed in writing, invoices are payable within the period specified on the invoice. If no period is specified, payment is due within 14 days of the invoice date.
5.6 The Company reserves the right to charge interest and reasonable recovery costs on late payments in accordance with applicable law.

6.1 If the Customer wishes to cancel or reschedule a booking, the Customer must notify the Company as soon as possible.

a) Cancellation more than 48 hours before the agreed start time: no cancellation fee, and any deposit may be refundable at the Companys discretion.
b) Cancellation between 24 and 48 hours before the agreed start time: the Company may retain part or all of any deposit and may charge up to 50 percent of the estimated Job cost.
c) Cancellation less than 24 hours before the agreed start time or on arrival: the Company may charge up to 100 percent of the estimated Job cost.
6.3 The Company will use reasonable endeavours to accommodate rescheduling requests, but cannot guarantee availability on alternative dates or times. Rescheduling at short notice may be treated as a cancellation and rebooking and may incur fees.
6.4 If the Company arrives at the collection address at the agreed time and is unable to commence work due to the Customer, delay charges may apply at the prevailing hourly rate. This includes circumstances where Goods are not ready, access is not available, or payment arrangements have not been made.
6.5 The Company may cancel or postpone a Job due to events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to severe weather, road closures, vehicle breakdown, staff illness, accidents, or safety concerns. In such cases, the Company will aim to reschedule the Job as soon as reasonably practicable. The Company will not be liable for any consequential loss arising from such cancellation or postponement.

The Company reserves the right to refuse or remove any prohibited items.

e) Any indirect or consequential loss, such as loss of profits, loss of opportunity, or costs of alternative accommodation.
10.4 The Customer must inspect Goods as far as reasonably possible upon delivery. Any visible damage or shortfall should be notified to the Company as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 48 hours of completion of the Job. Failure to notify within such period may affect the ability to investigate and process any claim.
10.5 Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes or restricts liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

11.2 The Company reserves the right to refuse to carry out any part of the Services where it reasonably considers there is a risk to the health and safety of its staff, the Customer, third parties, or property. This may include situations involving unsafe structures, excessive clutter, hazardous materials, or aggressive behaviour.
11.3 While reasonable care will be taken, the Customer acknowledges that some risk of minor damage to property such as walls, floors, door frames, and banisters may arise when moving large or heavy items in confined spaces. The Company will not be liable for minor cosmetic damage that is an unavoidable consequence of carrying out the Services with reasonable care and skill.
12. Delays and Force Majeure
12.1 Dates and times given for arrival and completion are estimates and cannot be guaranteed. The Company will use reasonable endeavours to adhere to agreed schedules but will not be liable for delay caused by reasons beyond its reasonable control, including traffic conditions, road closures, accidents, weather, or delays caused by the Customer or third parties.
12.2 If the Company is delayed, it will contact the Customer where reasonably possible to update arrival times. The Customer is responsible for making any necessary arrangements at the premises to accommodate revised schedules.

13.1 If the Customer is dissatisfied with any aspect of the Services, they should raise the issue with the Company as soon as practicable so that it can be investigated and, where possible, resolved promptly.
