Terms and Conditions for Man With Van Hammersmith Services
These Terms and Conditions govern the use of our man with van Hammersmith services and set out the basis on which bookings are accepted, work is carried out, and responsibilities are allocated between the customer and the service provider. By making a booking, the customer agrees to these terms in full. These terms are intended to create clarity, protect both parties, and ensure that each Man With Van Hammersmith job is completed in a professional and lawful manner.
For the purposes of these terms, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to the service provider offering removals, transportation, loading, unloading, and related support services. “You” and “your” refer to the customer, hirer, or authorised representative making the booking. These terms apply to domestic and commercial bookings, including single-item transport, small removals, furniture delivery, collection services, and other agreed logistics work.
All services are subject to availability and to confirmation by us. Any quotation, estimate, or proposed schedule provided before booking is based on the information supplied at the time of enquiry. If the scope of work changes, the price, vehicle size, number of workers, and time required may need to be revised. We reserve the right to decline any booking where the work cannot be safely, legally, or practically completed under the circumstances presented.
Bookings may be made through accepted communication channels and are only confirmed once we have acknowledged the request and agreed the service details. A booking is not guaranteed merely because an enquiry has been made or a quote has been discussed. To secure a date or time slot, we may require confirmation of access conditions, item description, collection and delivery details, parking arrangements, and any special handling needs. The customer must provide accurate and complete information. Failure to do so may affect the service, pricing, or timing.
The customer is responsible for ensuring that all items to be moved are properly described, especially where they are fragile, heavy, valuable, oversized, hazardous, or require dismantling. We may rely on the information supplied by the customer when preparing the booking and allocating resources. If, upon arrival, the items differ materially from the description provided, we may amend the quotation, adjust the crew size, decline to carry out part of the work, or charge waiting time where applicable.
We reserve the right to request proof of identity, proof of ownership, or authorisation to move items where required for security, compliance, or fraud prevention. This is particularly relevant where the booking involves items from storage, tenancy changes, business premises, or third-party collection points. If the customer is acting on behalf of another person or organisation, they warrant that they have authority to enter into the contract and to accept these terms on that party’s behalf.
Payment terms will be stated at the time of booking or on the invoice. Unless agreed otherwise, payment is due on completion of the service or by the deadline specified in the booking confirmation. We may accept bank transfer, card payment, or other methods agreed in advance. We are not obliged to begin or continue work unless payment terms are complied with. Any deposit requested to secure a booking is non-refundable except where cancellation is made by us or where required by law.
All prices are based on the information supplied and may be subject to adjustment if the actual circumstances differ. Examples include additional waiting time, extra labour, additional floors, failed access, parking delays, congestion, long carrying distances, repeated trips, and unforeseen handling requirements. Where a fixed price has been agreed, it applies only to the service described and within the stated conditions. Where an hourly rate applies, the total charge will be calculated by reference to the time spent on the assignment, including reasonable loading, unloading, travel between agreed locations, and unavoidable delays.
Any Hammersmith man with van booking that requires parking permits, congestion-related charges, tolls, ferry fees, ULEZ-related compliance costs, or site access charges may incur additional expenses. Such expenses, where applicable, are payable by the customer unless we have expressly agreed in writing to include them in the quotation. The customer must cooperate with any reasonable request needed to complete payment, including confirming invoices, releasing agreed access payments, or paying outstanding sums promptly where part-payment has been arranged.
Cancellations must be notified as soon as possible. Where a booking is cancelled by the customer, cancellation charges may apply depending on the time of notice and any costs already incurred. If cancellation occurs shortly before the scheduled time, if our crew has already been dispatched, or if resources have been reserved and cannot reasonably be reallocated, we may charge a cancellation fee reflecting our lost time, administrative costs, and operational expenses. The exact amount may vary depending on the circumstances and the notice provided.
If the customer is not present at the agreed time, if access is unavailable, if parking is impossible, if the job cannot proceed due to incomplete information, or if the customer fails to provide the necessary authorisation, the booking may be treated as a late cancellation or a failed attendance. In such cases, the full or partial charge may still apply. We may also charge waiting time where our team is delayed due to factors within the customer’s control. Any request to reschedule is subject to availability and may involve a revised price.
We may cancel or postpone a booking where performance would be unsafe, unlawful, or impracticable, including but not limited to severe weather, vehicle breakdown, staff illness, road restrictions, emergency circumstances, or suspected unlawful activity. In the event that we cancel a booking for reasons within our control, we will either reschedule at a mutually convenient time or refund any amount paid in advance for the affected portion of the service, subject to any lawful deductions already incurred.
Our liability is limited to losses directly caused by our negligence, breach of contract, or failure to exercise reasonable care and skill. We will not be responsible for indirect, consequential, or purely economic losses such as loss of profit, business interruption, sentimental value, or loss arising from delayed completion, unless liability cannot lawfully be excluded. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under UK law.
Customers must ensure that items are adequately packed, protected, and prepared for transport unless we have expressly agreed to provide packing services. We are not liable for damage resulting from inadequate packing, pre-existing defects, hidden weakness, unstable construction, or normal wear and tear. For fragile, antique, high-value, or irreplaceable items, the customer should notify us in advance so that appropriate precautions can be considered. We may refuse to handle items that present an unacceptable risk of damage or injury.
Where our team assists with lifting, loading, or carrying, the customer must disclose any known hazards, access issues, or heavy-item risks. We reserve the right to stop work if the environment is unsafe, if items are dangerously heavy, if stairways or floors are unsuitable, or if adequate assistance has not been arranged. We are not liable for damage caused by structural weakness, pre-existing defects in property, or conditions that could not reasonably have been anticipated from the information provided before the booking.
With respect to loss or damage claims, the customer must notify us within a reasonable time after the service is completed and provide supporting information, photographs, and proof of value where appropriate. We may inspect the affected items and the work area before any claim is assessed. The customer must take reasonable steps to minimise losses. Any claim will be considered in light of the facts, the condition of the goods, and the extent to which any loss was caused by our acts or omissions. Our total liability under any booking, where lawfully permitted, will generally not exceed the amount paid for the relevant service, unless a higher limit is required by statute.
All waste handling must comply with applicable UK waste regulations. We do not remove, dispose of, or transport waste unless this has been expressly agreed as part of the service and is lawful for us to do so. The customer must not present hazardous materials, controlled waste, clinical waste, asbestos, paint, solvents, gas cylinders, electrical waste requiring special treatment, or any prohibited substances without prior agreement and full disclosure. If such items are discovered, we may refuse removal and may charge for wasted attendance where appropriate.
Where waste collection is agreed, the customer is responsible for accurate classification of the materials and for ensuring that items are lawful to collect. We may require the customer to separate recyclable items, disclose any contamination, and identify any duty-of-care documents or transfer notes needed for compliance. We are not responsible for penalties, fines, or enforcement action arising from inaccurate declarations by the customer or from the presence of unlawful waste not disclosed in advance. Any disposal arranged by us will be undertaken only in accordance with applicable legal requirements and at authorised facilities.
Customers must ensure that the premises, access routes, and items are ready for the agreed time. Doors, lifts, loading bays, and shared areas must be available where required, and any permissions needed from landlords, building managers, or other occupiers must be obtained in advance. If we are unable to perform the service because access is restricted or authorisation is missing, we may still charge for time, travel, and other reasonable costs incurred.
We will take reasonable care when moving goods, but the customer acknowledges that removals and transport inherently involve some risk. Furniture may need to be dismantled or reassembled only if this has been agreed. We are not responsible for the integrity of items not suitable for disassembly or for damage arising from the use of existing fixings, concealed defects, or manufacturer limitations. The customer should inform us of items that require special handling, protective covers, or environmental controls.
Any man with van service in Hammersmith may involve subcontractors or substitute vehicles where necessary to complete the job efficiently or to address unforeseen operational issues. Where this happens, we remain responsible for the standard of the agreed service, subject to these terms. However, we are not liable for acts or omissions of third parties beyond our reasonable control, including road users, public authorities, building managers, or other persons not under our direct supervision.
The customer warrants that no items offered for transport are illegal, dangerous, stolen, counterfeit, or otherwise prohibited by law. We may refuse any item that appears unsafe, unlawful, or unsuitable for carriage. If we reasonably suspect that a booking involves improper conduct, fraud, or an attempt to conceal prohibited goods, we may terminate the service immediately and retain payment for work already carried out, subject to legal limits. We may also notify relevant authorities where required or appropriate.
All personal data processed in connection with a booking will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection law and used only for administration, service delivery, record keeping, invoicing, legal compliance, and legitimate business purposes. We will not sell customer data. Information may be retained for the period necessary to manage the booking, resolve disputes, meet tax obligations, and comply with legal requirements. The customer is responsible for removing personal files, documents, and other sensitive materials from items being transported unless specifically instructed otherwise.
We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. The version in force at the time the booking is accepted will normally apply to that job, unless a change in law requires immediate implementation. If any provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. Failure by us to enforce any right or provision on one occasion does not waive our right to do so in future.
These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute unless mandatory law provides otherwise. By using our service, the customer agrees that any disagreement will be handled under this legal framework, without prejudice to any statutory rights the customer may have.
Hammersmith man with van services are provided on the basis that the customer has read, understood, and accepted these Terms and Conditions before the booking proceeds. If the customer does not agree with any part of these terms, they should not proceed with the booking. Completion of the service, payment of any deposit, or confirmation of the order will be taken as acceptance of these terms.
These Terms and Conditions form the full agreement between the parties in relation to the service and supersede any prior discussion, draft, or informal communication, except where expressly incorporated in writing. No variation shall be effective unless agreed by us in writing. The customer should retain a copy of these terms for reference.
By proceeding with a booking, the customer confirms that they have the authority, capacity, and intention to enter into a binding contract on the stated terms.
In conclusion, these terms are designed to support a fair, lawful, and efficient man with van in Hammersmith service, covering the booking process, payment arrangements, cancellations, liability boundaries, waste handling obligations, and the governing legal framework. They aim to balance operational practicality with customer protection and clear expectations for every assignment.
