Terms and Conditions for Man With Van Hammersmith Services

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Man With Van Hammersmith provides moving, transport, loading, unloading, and related services to customers within the United Kingdom. By making a booking, the customer confirms that they have read, understood, and accepted these terms. For the purposes of this document, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the service provider, and references to “you” or “the customer” mean the person or business requesting the service. These terms apply to all quotations, bookings, and completed jobs unless amended in writing by agreement.

Our services are designed to support lawful domestic and commercial transport tasks, including single-item moves, partial loads, full loads, furniture handling, packing support, and the provision of a van with one or more operatives where agreed. A Man With Van Hammersmith service may vary depending on the size of the load, access conditions, time required, and any special handling needs. The customer is responsible for ensuring that all information supplied at the time of booking is accurate and complete, including collection and delivery addresses, item descriptions, access details, floor levels, parking restrictions, and any goods that may require special handling.

These terms are intended to be fair and transparent. They do not affect your statutory rights under UK consumer law where applicable. If any part of these Terms and Conditions is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force. Headings are included for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.

Bookings for a man with a van in Hammersmith may be made by telephone, email, online form, or other approved booking method. A booking is only confirmed once we have accepted the request and, where required, received any deposit or prepayment requested. The customer must check all booking details carefully before confirming. This includes the service date, service time, collection and delivery points, property access, item inventory, and any additional requirements such as assembly, dismantling, waiting time, or multiple stops.

When we provide a quotation, it will normally be based on the details supplied by the customer. Quotes may be fixed or estimated depending on the nature of the job. An estimated quote may change if the actual service differs from the original description. Examples include additional items, delays caused by access issues, a change of route, unexpected stair carry requirements, or the need for extra labour or vehicle capacity. Where possible, we will inform the customer of any anticipated change before work continues.

The customer must ensure that the goods to be moved are ready at the agreed time and that the premises are accessible. If parking permits, loading bays, or other permissions are needed, the customer is responsible for arranging them unless we have expressly agreed otherwise. If access is not available at the agreed time, or if the job cannot proceed due to inaccurate information, we may charge waiting time, additional labour, aborted attendance, or rescheduling costs. A Man With Van Hammersmith booking may also be declined if it involves items or conditions that we cannot safely or lawfully handle.

Payment terms will be confirmed during booking. Unless agreed otherwise, payment is due on completion of the job and must be made in the method accepted by us at the time of service. We may request a deposit, part-payment, or full advance payment for certain bookings, particularly for longer-distance work, peak periods, or high-value jobs. All quoted prices are based on the information provided by the customer and may exclude unforeseen additional charges, such as extra waiting time, parking penalties, congestion-related costs, tolls, ferry charges, or additional labour beyond the scope originally agreed.

Any invoice issued by us must be paid by the stated due date. If payment is not received on time, we may charge lawful interest and recover reasonable debt collection or enforcement costs where permitted by law. We reserve the right to suspend or refuse further services where outstanding balances remain unpaid. If the customer disputes an invoice, they must notify us promptly and provide clear reasons and supporting information so that we can review the matter fairly.

Cancellation terms depend on the timing of the notice and the type of booking. If the customer cancels a confirmed booking, we may charge a cancellation fee to cover lost time, admin, and any costs already incurred. For short-notice cancellations, including cancellations made on the service day, the full charge or a substantial proportion of the agreed fee may apply where we have already reserved time, staff, and vehicle resources. Where a deposit has been paid, it may be retained against cancellation costs unless otherwise agreed in writing.

We also reserve the right to cancel or postpone a booking where circumstances outside our control make it impossible or unsafe to proceed. Such circumstances may include severe weather, traffic disruption, vehicle breakdown, accidents, road closures, industrial action, or events affecting safety. Where practicable, we will aim to offer an alternative time or date. Our liability for cancellation caused by events outside our control is limited to refunding any amount paid for the affected service to the extent required by law.

In relation to liability, we will take reasonable care when handling goods. However, our responsibility is limited to direct loss or damage caused by our proven negligence. We are not liable for pre-existing damage, inherent weakness, inadequate packaging, normal wear and tear, or damage caused by the customer’s own actions or omissions. The customer should ensure fragile, valuable, or sentimental items are suitably packed and protected before loading. Unless we have expressly agreed in writing to transport such items, we do not accept responsibility for items such as cash, jewellery, documents, antiques, works of art, collectibles, or items of exceptional value.

If the customer requires removal of coverings, disassembly, reassembly, or specific handling methods, these instructions must be provided in advance. Any self-packed goods are carried at the customer’s risk unless damage results directly from our negligence. Claims for loss or damage must be reported as soon as reasonably possible and, in any event, within a reasonable period after completion of the service. We may request photographs, item descriptions, proof of value, and other relevant information to assess any claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

The customer must comply with all applicable waste and environmental regulations when using our services for disposal, collection, or transport of unwanted items. We may only remove waste where it is lawful to do so and where the service has been agreed in advance. The customer remains responsible for ensuring that waste is correctly described, separated where required, and not mixed with prohibited or hazardous materials unless we have expressly agreed and are authorised to handle such materials. Items classified as hazardous, clinical, electrical, chemical, or otherwise controlled may require specialist arrangements and must not be presented for collection without prior approval.

Where waste is transported, transferred, or disposed of on the customer’s behalf, the customer must provide accurate information and cooperate with any reasonable documentation requirements. This may include item declarations, recycling information, or proof that the material may be lawfully handled. We will not knowingly breach environmental protection obligations, duty of care requirements, or relevant waste carrier rules. If the customer presents waste that is unlawful, misdescribed, or unsafe, we may refuse to load or transport it and may charge for any wasted attendance or reasonable disposal-related costs already incurred.

Man With Van Hammersmith is committed to compliance with waste regulations and expects customers to do the same. We may refuse any item that could create a risk to health, the environment, our staff, or the public. The customer is responsible for declarations relating to batteries, paints, solvents, sharp objects, gas cylinders, white goods, electrical appliances, or any item that may require special treatment or authorised disposal routes. If we agree to take waste, we do so strictly within the scope permitted by law and by the agreed service description.

We may subcontract or assign any part of the service to suitably qualified third parties, provided this does not materially reduce the standard of service promised. Any subcontracted service will remain subject to these Terms and Conditions unless otherwise stated. The customer must not instruct our staff or agents to undertake unlawful, unsafe, or excessively risky tasks. Where a request appears unsafe or impractical, we may decline it without liability. Our team may also refuse to move items that are likely to cause damage to property, risk injury, or exceed safe manual handling limits.

The customer warrants that they have authority to request the service at the relevant collection and delivery locations and that no third-party rights prevent us from carrying out the work. The customer must obtain any necessary consents from landlords, managing agents, building managers, neighbours, or other relevant parties where access or loading requires permission. We are not responsible for delays or additional charges resulting from the customer’s failure to secure such permissions. If the job is delayed because the customer is not present, cannot be contacted, or has not provided sufficient instructions, additional charges may apply.

Any time estimates given are approximations only unless otherwise agreed in writing. Completion times can be affected by traffic, access, weather, item complexity, and load size. A man with van service in Hammersmith may be quoted on an hourly, fixed, or hybrid basis. If the job continues beyond the originally agreed duration because of customer-related delays or changes, extra time will be charged at the applicable rate. The same applies where additional journeys, extra staff, or a larger vehicle become necessary due to under-declared volumes or unexpected requirements.

We will not be liable for indirect, consequential, or economic losses such as loss of profit, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill, or missed deadlines, except where such exclusion is not permitted by law. Our total liability for any claim arising from the service shall, where lawful, be limited to the amount paid or payable for the specific booking giving rise to the claim. This limitation reflects the practical nature of a Man With Van Hammersmith service and the importance of accurate customer information in managing risk fairly.

If any item is found to be missing after completion, the customer must inform us promptly so that an internal check can be conducted. We may not be responsible for items that were not listed, were left behind, or were not clearly identified before loading. We encourage customers to inspect their property and goods at the earliest suitable opportunity. Any goods stored or held temporarily by arrangement remain subject to reasonable care, but no storage relationship is created unless expressly agreed in writing with separate terms.

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect legal, operational, or commercial changes. The version in force at the time of booking will apply to that booking unless a later version is agreed. If a customer books services on behalf of another person or company, the person making the booking confirms that they have authority to do so and that they will be responsible for ensuring payment and compliance with these terms unless we agree otherwise in writing.

These Terms and Conditions, together with any written quotation, booking confirmation, or agreed variation, form the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the service. No statement or promise shall be binding unless confirmed in writing by an authorised representative. If any ambiguity arises, it shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with lawful and fair service delivery. The customer agrees that they will not rely on any oral representation that has not been incorporated into the booking or written agreement.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions affects your legal rights if you are a consumer and the service is supplied for personal use. Where the customer is a business, the service is provided on a commercial basis and the customer confirms that they have authority to enter into the agreement. A Man With Van Hammersmith booking made by a business customer may be subject to additional account terms if agreed separately, but these terms remain the default conditions unless expressly overridden in writing.

The parties agree that these terms are intended to be interpreted in a practical and commercially reasonable manner. Any failure by us to enforce a right or remedy at any time shall not be taken as a waiver of that right or remedy in the future. If there is any conflict between these Terms and Conditions and a specific written service agreement, the written service agreement shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.

The contract between the customer and Man With Van Hammersmith is governed by the law of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from or connected with these Terms and Conditions, the quotation, the booking, or the service provided shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless mandatory law provides otherwise. This governing law clause applies regardless of where the customer resides, provided the service is supplied under a UK booking arrangement.

By proceeding with a booking, the customer confirms acceptance of these terms and acknowledges responsibility for accurate declarations, lawful waste handling, timely payment, and safe access to the property and goods involved. We aim to provide a reliable and professional man with a van service while keeping the arrangement clear, lawful, and practical for both parties. Customers are encouraged to review these terms carefully before confirming any service request.
