property, or the goods are Your property free of any legal
charge; or

have made the owner fully aware of these terms and
conditions prior to entering into this Agreement and that they
have agreed to them.

6.1
7.2 In respect of all sums which are overdue to us, We will
charge interest on a daily basis calculated at 4% per annum
above the prevailing base rate for the time being of the Bank
of England.

8 Our liability for loss or damage
8.1 We do not know the value of Your goods therefore 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 Condition 1.2.11 (Our Quotation).
Unless otherwise agreed in writing if we are negligent or in
breach of contract We will pay You up to € 40 for each item
which is lost or damaged as a direct result of any negligence
or breach of contract on Our part to cover the cost of
repairing or replacing that item.
8.1.1 Subject to Our having received Your itemised valued
inventory (see 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
(a) arising from Our negligence or breach of contract whilst
the goods are in Our physical possession, or
(b) whilst the goods are in the possession of others if the loss
or damage is established to have been caused by Our failure
to pack the goods to a reasonable standard where We have
been contracted to pack the goods that are subject to the
claim.
In either circumstance clause 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.
8.2.3 If the carrying vessel/conveyance, should for reasons
beyond the carrier’s control, fail to deliver the goods, or route
them to a place other than the original destination, You may
have limited recourse against the carrier depending upon the
carriers particular terms and conditions of carriage, and You
may be liable for General Average contribution (e.g. the
costs incurred to preserve the vessel/conveyance and
cargo) and salvage charges, or the additional cost of onward
transmission to the place, port or airport of destination.
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 unless such confiscation, seizure,
removal or damage arose directly as a result of Our
negligence or breach of contract.
8.3 For the purposes of this Agreement an item is defined as:
8.3.1 The entire contents of a box, parcel, package, carton, or
similar container; and
8.3.2 Any other object or thing that is moved, handled or stored by
us.
8.4 Damage to premises or property other than goods
8.4.1.1 Because third party contractors or others are frequently
present at the time of collection or delivery it is not always
possible to establish who was responsible for loss or
damage. therefore Our liability is limited as follows:
8.4.1.2 If we cause loss or damage to premises or property other
than goods for removal as a result of our negligence or
breach of contract, our liability shall be limited to making
good the damaged area only.
8.4.2
If You postpone or cancel this Agreement, We reserve the
right to charge you a reasonable postponement or
cancellation fee according to how much notice is given as
set out below at 6.1.1 – 6.1.4. “Working days” refer to the
normal working week of Monday to Friday and excludes
weekends and Public Holidays.
6.1.1 More than 10 working days before the removal was due to
start: No charge.
6.1.2 Between 5 and 10 working days inclusive before the removal
was due to start: not more than 30% of the removal charge.

commences up to 100% of Our charges.
7 Payment

required in full by cleared funds in advance of the removal or
storage period. In default of such payment We reserve the
right to refuse to commence removal or storage until such
payment is received.

Your express instruction, against our advice, and where
moving the goods in the manner instructed is likely to
cause damage, We shall not be liable.
