Limited Liability
In the removal industry, limited liability is standard practice because the mover does not know the value of a customer’s goods.
Special Cases.
2Removal Terms and Conditions are important. Please note the following:
2Removal excludes liability for jewellery, CDs, electrical goods and other similar items.
2Removal limits the company’s liability to £40 per item in the event of loss or damage caused as a result of its negligence.
2Removal limits the company’s liability to £55 per premises in the event of damage to your premises.
2Removal excludes liability for owner-packed goods other then through negligence.
2Removal specifies the time limits for submitting claims for loss or damage.
Jewellery, money and other items should not be included for removal.
If you want to do your own packing you need to consider the following:
2Removal is responsible for the loss or damage caused by its negligence. Goods may be damaged by other causes over which a removal contractor has no control.
Matching Pairs and Full Sets of Items.
Like most household contents policies, if one of a pair of items or part of a set is lost or damaged, our agent will only pay for the individual item that is lost or damaged. Our agent will not pay for the replacement of the entire set.
Mechanical and Electrical Breakdown
It is not possible for 2REMOVAL to check that electrical goods are working before a move takes place and we obviously have no responsibility for pre-existing damage.
This means that we will only pay for mechanical and electrical breakdown if there is obvious damage to outer casings.
the client is totally responsible for establishing that all items for transport/removal have been removed in their entirety. No liability will be accepted for any oversight even if verbal instructions have been given to the company.
In the event of any accounts, which have been outstanding in excess of 3 months from date of collection or departure, for goods stored under contract, the goods may be returned to the departing depot and transport costs incurred will be charged at the standard rate applicable for the full round trip.
For all storage agreed upon, a 3-month deposit must be paid in advance. After that period, a monthly payment needs to be made to this company for storage costs. If no payment has been received from the client after 3 months, notice will be given and, 1 month after that , the goods will be disposed of.
Any stored goods that have not had an account settled after a 3-month period will then become the goods of 2REMOVAL.
2REMOVAL reserves the right to sub-contract. In this case our sub-contractors insurance will cover liability as per our terms.
