Please Read The Info Below

CONDITIONS OF MOVING

Payment

1.0 a) Strictly Cash or card on completion for ALL moves. Please note Visa and Mastercard will attract 4% processing fee.

Liability

2.0 a) All goods are carried solely at “Owners Risk” as defined under the contract and Commercial law Act 2017 Section 250, Subsection (1) a. These goods are to be carried at owner’s risk. This means that the carrier will pay no compensation if the goods are lost or damaged, unless the carrier intentionally loses or damages them. We can tailor full transit insurance for both household and commercial movers from New Zealand’s leading transit insurance brokers and providers at no commission. Minimum insurable value starts from $10,000 inc gst up to $5 mil inc gst. Please ask for details.

b) Whilst our team of movers provide utmost care and attention to your house or property whilst moving your valuables, there remains a risk of scruffs to internal walls and stairwells especially with the larger furniture and white ware items. Whilst this risk is very low, all work carried at either loading or unloading site will be carried out at “Owners Risk” and is uninsurable.

c) Particularly note that damage caused by our vehicles to driveways, footpaths, underground pipelines, cables, sewerage and similar underground installations, and overhanging power or telephone lines are uninsurable. Should our staff be instructed by the Owner, Consignor, Consignee or Shipper, or any person acting on their behalf to drive any of our vehicles across an area where such damage is likely to occur, compliance with such instructions will not in any way involve the Company or its Insurers in responsibility for any subsequent damage which may be sustained. Such responsibility will rest solely in the hands of the Owner, Consignor, Consignee or Shipper

d) All bookings are carried out on a “best – effort” basis. Whist we try our best to make it on time for every booking, we sometimes do inevitably run delays. Our team will not be held liable for personal or business losses arising from such delays in any way.

Carrier’s Lien

3.0 a) The Moving Squad shall have a contractual lien, both particular and general over the debtors goods and assets for all charges, costs, fees and other liabilities which are due and payable to The Moving Squad in relation to work carried out on behalf of the debtor. The debtor shall indemnify The Moving Squads upon demand for all claims by any third party for any losses resulting from The Moving Squad retaining possession of the debtor’s goods and assets and for all costs and expenses incurred by The Moving Squad in connection with such proceedings or actions, including but not limited to legal costs and enforcement costs.

Defaults

4.0 a) Defaults will incur collection, legal and administrative charges for added time and resources required to resolve account. Interest rate of 25 % per annum compounding monthly will be charged.

b) We reserve the right to recover any materials used in the relocation process in the event of default. This includes, but is not limited to, any packaging materials and supplies used. We will not be held liable for any damages to property during this recovery process. The debtor will be held liable for all costs incurred in this recovery process as well as any damages to third party property which may ensue.

Cancellations and Delays

5.0 a) Minimum cancellation fees of 10% will apply for all PREPAID bookings with 7 days notice.

b) Minimum cancellation fees of 25% will apply for all PREPAID bookings with less than 7 days notice. Actual cancellation fee will be determined by lateless of notice and other factors such as time and costs incurred in reserving capacity and making arrangements on our end.

c) Will make every effort to carry out your move as scheduled at the time of booking. However, delays can occur for a range of reasons including but not limited to bad weather conditions, delays in moves booked prior, mechanical breakdowns, technical issues and traffic delays. Scheduled start times cannot be guaranteed and the Moving Squad will not be responsible for paying any costs or expenses you may incur as a result of the delay or cancellation.
