Terms and Conditions for Man With Van Farringdon

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which our man with van Farringdon service is provided. By making a booking, confirming a quotation, or instructing us to carry out a move, you agree to be bound by these terms. Please read them carefully before placing an order for any Farringdon van and man service, removal work, collection, delivery, or related transport service. If anything in these terms is unclear, it is your responsibility to seek clarification before the job begins.

In these Terms and Conditions, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the service provider operating the man and van Farringdon service. References to “you” and “your” mean the customer, client, or person placing the booking. These terms apply to both domestic and commercial customers unless otherwise agreed in writing. Where a written quotation, booking confirmation, or service note differs from these terms, the written document will take priority to the extent of any inconsistency.

We aim to provide a reliable, professional, and efficient Farringdon man with van service for transport, removals, collections, deliveries, and similar tasks. However, all services are subject to availability, access conditions, lawful instructions, and the accurate information supplied by you at the time of booking. We reserve the right to refuse or suspend any service where conditions make the job unsafe, unlawful, impractical, or materially different from what was agreed.

A booking is only confirmed when we have accepted your request and, where required, received any deposit or advance payment. We may provide an estimated time, vehicle size, crew size, or cost based on the details you give us. That estimate is not binding unless stated as a fixed quotation in writing. For any van with man Farringdon arrangement, you must provide accurate details about the items, floors, access, parking, loading points, stairs, lifts, and any time restrictions that could affect the move.

You are responsible for ensuring that the booking information is complete and correct. This includes the nature of the items to be moved, the number of boxes or large items, any fragile or valuable items, and whether assembly, disassembly, packing, or waiting time may be required. If the actual work differs from the information provided, we may revise the quotation, change the vehicle or team size, or charge additional fees. Any variation may also affect the completion time of the service.

If a booking is made on behalf of another person, company, landlord, tenant, or third party, the person making the booking confirms that they are authorised to do so and that they accept responsibility for payment and compliance with these terms unless we agree otherwise in writing. A booking request, whether made by phone, email, message, or online form, does not guarantee availability until we have explicitly accepted it.

Our prices may be based on an hourly rate, a fixed fee, a minimum charge, or a combination of these, depending on the type of service. Any quotation is valid only for the period stated in writing or, if no period is stated, for a reasonable time before changes in costs, availability, or customer requirements occur. We may charge for waiting time, congestion, parking, tolls, specialist handling, additional crew, or extra journeys if these are necessary to complete the work.

Payment terms will be confirmed at the time of booking or on the invoice. Unless agreed otherwise, payment is due immediately on completion of the job, or in advance where a deposit is requested. We may require card payment, bank transfer, cash, or another approved method. We are not obliged to begin or continue work if payment terms have not been met. All charges are stated exclusive of VAT unless we state otherwise in writing, and any applicable tax will be added where required by law.

If you fail to pay any amount due, we reserve the right to charge reasonable recovery costs, administrative fees, late payment interest where permitted by law, and any associated expenses incurred in pursuing the debt. Title to any goods sold by us, where relevant, remains with us until full payment has been received. If payment is split between multiple parties, each party remains responsible for the full outstanding amount unless we have agreed a different arrangement in writing.

Cancellations, Changes, and Delays

You may cancel or amend your booking, but any cancellation may be subject to a fee depending on how much notice you give and what arrangements we have already made. If you cancel after the vehicle, crew, or equipment has been allocated, or after we have commenced travel to the collection point, you may be charged for lost time, administrative costs, and any minimum call-out fee. For a man and van in Farringdon booking, short-notice changes can affect route planning, staffing, and scheduling.

If you ask us to reschedule, we will try to accommodate the request, but we cannot guarantee alternative availability. We are not responsible for delays caused by traffic, road closures, weather, accidents, parking restrictions, security checks, building access issues, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Where a delay is caused by your failure to provide correct information or access, we may charge waiting time or rebooking costs.

If we need to cancel or postpone a booking because of vehicle breakdown, staff unavailability, unsafe conditions, adverse weather, or any other reason beyond our reasonable control, we will notify you as soon as practicable and may offer an alternative time or date. We will not be liable for any indirect loss arising from such cancellation, although we will use reasonable efforts to minimise disruption. Your statutory rights are not affected by this clause.

We will take reasonable care in handling your belongings, but you remain responsible for ensuring that items are suitably packed, labelled, and ready for transport unless packing has been agreed as part of the service. Fragile, high-value, sentimental, or irreplaceable items should be protected appropriately. Unless expressly accepted in writing, we do not carry antiques, fine art, jewellery, cash, passports, confidential documents, or prohibited items as part of a standard man with van Farringdon move.

Our liability is limited to direct loss or damage caused by our proven negligence or wilful misconduct. We will not be liable for pre-existing damage, ordinary wear and tear, hidden defects in items, or damage resulting from inadequate packing, improper loading by the customer, overfilled boxes, or items that were unstable before we handled them. Where liability is established, we may repair, replace, or compensate up to the lower of the item’s fair market value or the amount reasonably attributable to the loss.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under English law. If you require a higher level of protection, you should notify us before the booking so that we can discuss additional precautions or insurance options where available. Any claim for loss or damage must be notified to us promptly and, in any event, within a reasonable period after completion of the service.

Waste, Disposal, and Regulatory Compliance

If your booking includes removal, disposal, clearing, or transport of waste, you must tell us in advance exactly what type of waste is involved. We only handle waste where it is lawful to do so and where the contents are accurately described. Under UK waste regulations, waste must not be mixed, misdeclared, fly-tipped, or handed over without proper authority. You must not ask us to dispose of hazardous, clinical, chemical, asbestos-related, or otherwise controlled waste unless this has been specifically agreed and legally arranged in advance.

You warrant that any waste presented for collection is yours to transfer, that you have the legal right to dispose of it, and that it does not contain prohibited materials or concealed hazardous substances. If waste is found to be misdescribed, contaminated, or unlawful to transport, we may refuse to collect it, return it at your cost where lawful, or hand it over to the appropriate authority if required. Any customer who causes us to breach waste regulations will be responsible for all resulting losses, fines, penalties, clean-up costs, and enforcement expenses.

Where applicable, we may use licensed carriers, approved transfer stations, and lawful disposal facilities. You agree to provide any information, declarations, or access needed to comply with environmental and transport obligations. We do not knowingly engage in unlawful waste disposal and reserve the right to stop work immediately if we suspect any breach of environmental, health, or safety law. The customer must not leave items outside if doing so would amount to illegal dumping or a nuisance to others.

Customer Responsibilities

You must ensure that the collection and delivery points are accessible at the agreed time and that any necessary parking, loading, or entry arrangements have been made in advance unless we have expressly agreed to handle them. For a man with a van Farringdon job, delays are often caused by inaccessible addresses, restricted lifts, missing keys, or unavailable recipients. If access is not available, we may charge for waiting time, failed attendance, or the cost of returning at a later time.

You are responsible for obtaining any permissions, permits, building approvals, concierge access, or other consents needed for the service. You must also ensure that the items to be moved are legal to transport and that nothing in the load could pose a danger to the crew, the vehicle, or other property. Dangerous goods, live animals, perishable food requiring special handling, and unlawful substances are not accepted unless we have expressly agreed otherwise and lawful arrangements are in place.

If our team is required to enter a property, you must ensure that the premises are safe and free from hidden hazards. This includes loose wiring, broken steps, poor lighting, aggressive animals, or unsafe flooring. We may suspend work where conditions are unsafe. Any instructions given by you or your representative are deemed authorised, and we may rely on them unless they are obviously unsafe or unlawful.

Insurance and Risk Transfer

Risk in the goods remains with you at all times unless and until we have accepted responsibility in writing under a specific arrangement. Although we will exercise reasonable care, it is your responsibility to maintain suitable insurance for your belongings, especially where items are fragile, expensive, or difficult to replace. If you choose not to insure items separately, you accept the risk of loss or damage except where caused by our proven negligence and subject to the limits in these terms.

Any packaging supplied by us remains your responsibility once used, unless we have agreed a packing-only service with specific terms. We do not accept liability for damage caused by unsuitable boxes, inadequate wrapping, or customer-supplied materials that fail during transit. Where we assist with lifting or carrying large items, you confirm that the items are fit for transport and that their condition is appropriate for the service requested.

If our liability is engaged, you agree that our total aggregate liability for any one event or series of connected events will be limited to the amount paid or payable for the relevant service, except where law prevents such limitation. This cap is intended to reflect the commercial nature of the service and the need to keep pricing reasonable for all customers.

Termination and Refusal of Service

We may refuse to proceed with, or may terminate, a booking immediately if you breach these terms, provide false information, behave abusively, request unlawful conduct, or create a health and safety risk. We may also stop work if access conditions change materially from those described, if the load is unsafe, or if payment is refused. In such cases, you may remain liable for fees already incurred, including time on site, travel, and any agreed minimum charge.

You may also be refused future service where there has been repeated non-payment, abusive conduct, attempted fraud, or misuse of the booking process. Any decision to refuse service will be made reasonably and, where practical, with notice. We reserve the right to assign or subcontract all or part of the service to suitably qualified personnel where necessary for operational reasons, while remaining responsible for the overall performance of the booking in accordance with these terms.

These terms may be updated from time to time. The version in force at the time of your booking will usually apply to that booking unless a later change is expressly agreed. Continued use of the service after a revision does not affect rights or obligations that have already arisen.

Governing Law and General Provisions

These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The parties agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, unless the law requires otherwise. If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

No failure or delay by us in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of that right or remedy. Any waiver must be in writing to be effective. These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us in relation to the service, except where a separate written agreement states otherwise. You may not assign your rights or obligations without our prior written consent.

By booking our Farringdon man with van service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and Conditions. We recommend retaining a copy for your records. Our goal is to provide a clear, fair, and lawful service framework for every customer while protecting both parties and ensuring the work is carried out responsibly.
