Man With Van Crooklog Service Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions apply to all bookings made for Man With Van Crooklog and set out the basis on which our moving and transport services are provided. By making a booking, the customer confirms that they have read, understood and agreed to these terms. For the purposes of this document, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the service provider, and “you” or “the customer” refers to the person requesting the service. These terms are designed to support a clear, fair and legally compliant working arrangement for domestic, commercial and general transport jobs.

The customer is responsible for ensuring that all information provided during the booking process is accurate and complete. This includes collection and delivery addresses, access details, item descriptions, parking restrictions, dates, times and any special handling requirements. Where the customer acts on behalf of another person, company or household, they remain responsible for ensuring that all relevant parties understand the scope of the service. Any quotation or estimate given by the man with a van service in Crooklog is based on the information supplied at the time of enquiry and may be adjusted if the actual job differs materially from the description provided.

These terms apply to standard transport, loading and unloading services only. They do not create a duty to carry out work that is unsafe, unlawful or beyond the agreed scope. We reserve the right to refuse items or tasks that cannot be completed safely, lawfully or within reasonable operational limits. The customer should review these terms carefully before confirming a booking, as they explain important rights, responsibilities and limitations relating to van hire with driver in Crooklog and associated services.

Booking Process

Bookings may be requested by providing the necessary service details and confirming availability for the preferred date and time. A booking is only accepted once it has been confirmed by us in writing, verbally or through an agreed booking method. Any quotation issued before confirmation is an invitation to proceed, not a guarantee of acceptance. We may decline a booking if the requested service is outside our normal operating capacity, if appropriate equipment is unavailable or if there are concerns about legality, safety or access.

When booking a man and van service Crooklog, the customer must supply sufficient information to allow us to assess the work properly. This includes the number, size and nature of items, whether lifting assistance is needed, whether stairs, narrow corridors or complex access points are involved, and whether parking or waiting restrictions apply. Failure to provide accurate details may result in delays, additional charges, service limitations or cancellation of the job.

Once a booking is confirmed, the agreed date, time, service type and estimated or fixed price will form the basis of the contract, subject to any variations required due to changes in circumstances. If the customer requests amendments after confirmation, we will try to accommodate them, but we are not obliged to do so where the change would materially affect resources, timing or costs. We strongly recommend that customers review the booking summary carefully before final acceptance.

Payments

Payment terms will be set out at the time of booking. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due in full on completion of the service. We may require a deposit or partial prepayment for certain jobs, including larger removals, long-distance transport or services requiring reserved time slots. Any deposit taken is applied against the total invoice unless stated otherwise. Where a deposit has been requested, the booking may not be held until payment has cleared.

We accept payment methods that are notified to the customer in advance. The customer must ensure that funds are available at the time payment is due. If payment is not made on time, we may withhold delivery, pause the service or charge reasonable recovery costs where permitted by law. Late payment may also result in interest or administrative fees in accordance with applicable legislation. For avoidance of doubt, quotes are exclusive of any additional work not included in the original agreement unless otherwise stated.

Additional Charges may apply where the job differs from the original booking details. Examples include extra waiting time, difficult access, long carries, multiple trips, congestion, unscheduled dismantling or reassembly, additional labour, parking charges, road tolls, or disposal costs where lawful waste removal has been arranged. We will seek to inform the customer where possible before incurring such charges, but where circumstances arise on site, the customer agrees that reasonable additional fees may be added to the final invoice.

Cancellations and Amendments

The customer may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving reasonable notice. The closer the cancellation is to the scheduled appointment, the more likely we are to incur losses due to allocated time, staff and vehicle costs. Where a cancellation is made after confirmation, we may retain any deposit paid or charge a cancellation fee that reflects our genuine losses and administrative costs, subject to consumer law. If the service has already started, the customer may be charged for work completed up to the point of cancellation.

If we need to cancel or reschedule due to vehicle issues, staff illness, severe weather, road closures, unsafe conditions or other events beyond our reasonable control, we will aim to notify the customer as soon as practicable and offer an alternative time where possible. We will not be responsible for indirect loss caused by a cancellation or delay, provided that we have taken reasonable steps to minimise disruption. However, nothing in these terms limits any rights the customer may have under consumer protection law where we fail to perform with reasonable care and skill.

Customer Responsibilities include ensuring that all items are ready for collection at the agreed time, that access is safe and lawful, and that any fragile, valuable or hazardous goods are identified before the move begins. The customer must not pack prohibited items, illegal goods or materials that require specialist licensing unless this has been expressly agreed in advance and is permitted by law. We may refuse to transport items that are unsafe, unhygienic, improperly packed or likely to cause damage to property, vehicles or other goods.

Where assistance is required with loading or unloading, the customer should advise us in advance so that suitable time and labour can be planned. If the customer or their representative is absent at the agreed time, or if access cannot be gained because of missing keys, incorrect addresses, parking obstruction or other avoidable issues, we may charge for wasted attendance time and any reasonable costs incurred. The customer is also responsible for obtaining any necessary permissions from landlords, building managers, neighbours, local authorities or other third parties.

Liability and Damage

We will carry out services with reasonable care and skill. However, our liability is limited to losses that arise directly from our proven negligence, breach of contract or failure to exercise reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for pre-existing damage, inherent defects, items packed by the customer, or loss caused by the customer’s instructions, incomplete information, or failure to disclose relevant risks. The customer should ensure that valuable, delicate or irreplaceable items are adequately protected and, where appropriate, insured separately.

Our liability for loss or damage to goods will be limited to the lower of the item’s reasonable second-hand value or the level of cover expressly agreed in writing, unless a higher liability is required by law. We do not accept responsibility for indirect or consequential losses, including loss of profit, loss of opportunity, or business interruption, except where such exclusion is prohibited by law. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded.

If a claim is made for damage, the customer must notify us as soon as reasonably possible and provide supporting evidence, including photographs where available. The customer must allow a reasonable opportunity for inspection before any repair, disposal or replacement is carried out, unless urgent action is necessary to prevent further loss. Any claim must be submitted within a reasonable period after the service, and the customer must take reasonable steps to mitigate any loss or damage.

Waste Regulations and Prohibited Waste

Where our service includes removal of unwanted items, the customer must distinguish clearly between general transport and regulated waste disposal. We will only handle waste where it is lawful to do so and where the scope has been agreed in advance. The customer must not present hazardous waste, clinical waste, asbestos, chemicals, paint, batteries, pressurised containers, electrical waste requiring specialist treatment, or any material subject to licensing or specific disposal controls unless we have expressly agreed and are authorised to manage it under applicable law.

Where we arrange lawful disposal, the customer acknowledges that disposal must comply with waste transfer, carrier and environmental requirements. The customer may be asked to confirm the nature and origin of the waste and to separate reusable items, recycling, general waste and restricted materials. We reserve the right to refuse any item that could create an environmental, health or legal risk. If waste is misdescribed by the customer and we incur additional charges, storage costs, return transport costs or disposal costs, those costs may be recovered from the customer to the extent permitted by law.

The customer warrants that they have the right to dispose of any items handed over for removal and that no item will be transferred to us unlawfully. Where items contain personal data, confidential documents or sensitive materials, the customer remains responsible for deletion, shredding, secure packaging or any specialist handling that may be required. We are not liable for breach of data protection obligations where the customer has failed to separate or identify such items correctly before collection.

Delays, Access and Force Majeure

Reasonable delays may occur due to traffic, weather, road conditions, access problems or events outside our control. We will use reasonable efforts to complete the service within the estimated timeframe, but any time estimate is approximate unless expressly stated as a guaranteed service time. If delays occur due to the customer’s actions or omissions, including late access, inaccurate directions or incomplete packing, additional waiting time may be charged. We shall not be liable for delay caused by force majeure events, including but not limited to severe weather, fire, accidents, strikes, civil unrest, government restrictions, or equipment failure beyond reasonable control.

Complaints and Dispute Resolution

If the customer is dissatisfied with any aspect of the service, they should notify us promptly so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, take corrective action. We aim to handle concerns fairly and efficiently. Any complaint should include sufficient detail to allow us to review the matter properly. The customer agrees to give us a reasonable opportunity to resolve disputes before commencing formal proceedings, except where urgent legal action is required. Nothing in this section prevents the customer from exercising statutory rights.

Where a dispute cannot be resolved informally, the parties may consider mediation or another appropriate alternative dispute resolution process if both agree. This does not prevent either party from pursuing legal remedies in the courts. Any failure by us to enforce a right or term immediately does not waive that right or term for the future. If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force.

Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where the customer’s statutory rights provide otherwise. By using Man With Van Crooklog, the customer acknowledges that the agreement is formed under UK law and that the above legal framework applies to the service relationship.

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect legal, operational or administrative changes. Any revised version will apply to bookings made after the date of publication or notification, as applicable. The customer is responsible for reviewing the latest version before confirming a new booking. Continued use of the service following any update will be treated as acceptance of the revised terms to the extent permitted by law.

General Provisions

These terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the service, unless supplemented by a written contract, quotation or amendment agreed by both parties. No statement made during an enquiry or booking will override these terms unless confirmed in writing by us. The customer may not assign or transfer their rights or obligations without our consent. Our rights and remedies under these terms are cumulative and may be exercised individually or together.

Man With Van Crooklog aims to provide a professional, lawful and reliable service across each booking, whether the job involves transport, loading, unloading, or carefully coordinated van and driver services in Crooklog. By booking with us, the customer accepts that cooperation, accurate information and lawful conduct are essential to completing the service safely and efficiently.
