REASON & CO
FULL LIABILITY TERMS AMENDED FOR USE BY THE REMOVAL
GROUP (INCLUDING REVISIONS REQUIRED BY THE REMOVAL
GROUP)
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1) These terms and conditions apply to any and all contracts
for the removal and/or storage of goods entered between
the Removal Group and you the customer and they define
and set out the rights, obligations, and responsibilities
of both you and us under any such contract. These terms
and conditions include provisions that limit our responsibilities
and potential liability to you. We specifically draw
your attention to these.
2) Where we use the word “you” or “your” it
means the customer; “we”, “us” or “our” means
the Removal Group. Where we use the word “goods” this
refers to the items that are to be subject to the removal
or storage, pursuant to this contract.
3) It is important that you read and understand the terms
and conditions that will apply to any contract entered
with us, before you commit yourself. If there is anything
that you do not understand or do not wish to agree to,
then please discuss it with us before signing and returning
the quotation or otherwise entering a contract with us.
Only enter into a contract if you wish to be bound by
the terms and conditions set out below.
OWNERSHIP OF THE GOODS
IMPORTANT NOTE
4) You hereby agree and confirm that you are either:
(a) the owner of the goods; and/or
(b) are duly authorised by the owner or owners of the
goods to enter into this contract on these terms and
conditions for and on behalf of the owner(s).
5) You shall be responsible for any losses, expenses,
or other costs incurred by us which are
caused by:
(a) an untrue statement made deliberately by you; and/or
(b) the statement at clause 4 not being true.
GOODS THAT WE WILL NOT ACCEPT FOR REMOVAL OR STORAGE
6) We will happily remove and store most items that you
may wish to submit for removal or storage. However,
we are, subject to clauses 7-9 below, unable in the
normal course of business to accept any of the following
types of items:
(a) Any living thing, including any animals, birds, fish
and plants;

other pests or to cause infestation;

7) If you intend to submit any such items for removal
or storage you must declare this to us in advance of
the removal or storage being undertaken. In such circumstances
we shall not be obliged to remove or store the items
in question unless we have confirmed in writing that
we are willing to do so. If we do agree to remove or
store the items in question we shall be entitled to charge
extra in respect of the same. If you are not happy with
the extra charge levied then you shall be entitled to
terminate this contract, before the removal or storage
commences.
8) If we do agree to accept such items for removal or
storage then we shall not be liable for any loss or damage
that occurs due to the special nature or sensitivities
of the goods involved. Other than this exclusion we remain
liable for other losses as we would under the balance
of this contract.
9) If such items are removed or stored by us without
our knowledge and written agreement to do so then we
shall not be liable for any loss or damage to those items
whatsoever including but not limited to that occurring
due to the special nature or sensitivities of the goods
involved. Furthermore in such circumstances you shall
be responsible for any losses, expenses, or other costs
incurred by us which are caused by the special nature
of the items in question, such as but not limited to
clean up costs and damage to other goods.
WHAT WE WILL DO
10) We shall:
(a) pack the goods, if requested and if we have agreed
to do so;
(b) remove them at the agreed time and date and deliver
to the delivery address;
(c) unpack them, if requested and if we have agreed to
do so;
(d) store them, if the contract provides for them to
be stored.
We shall at all times care for the goods whilst they
are in our custody and control showing all reasonable
care in the circumstances. We furthermore will endeavour
to act and undertake our obligations at all times in
a professional manner.
11) We shall only remove or deliver items into a loft,
or similar space, if it is safe, which shall include
but shall not be limited to being adequately lit and
floored, and the access to it being safe.
12) We hold insurance, with a specialist insurer, to
cover our potential liability to you for loss or damage
to your goods or for losses arising from delay upto the
level of liability under this contract. The insurance
is subject to terms and policy excess. If you would like
more detail as to the level of insurance we hold we would
be delighted to refer you to our insurance brokers who
will discuss the level of cover provided with you.
WHAT WE WILL NOT DO
13) There are certain things that we do not do and which
are not covered under this contract. They are:

equipment or appliances, such as but not limited to securing
washing machine drums;
(d) taking up or laying fitted floor coverings of any
kind;
(e) removing storage heaters unless they are already
disconnected and adequately dismantled;
14) Our staff are not authorised or qualified to carry
out such work. We recommend that a proper qualified person
be separately employed by you to carry out these services.
15) We do not arrange insurance to cover your goods.
We are unable to offer this service due to FSA regulation
on the sale of insurance.

work presented. It is based on our contracting to remove
and/or store the goods subject to these terms and conditions.
17) The quotation will remain open for a period of 28
days from the date of the quotation. After then it shall
be treated as having been automatically withdrawn. If
you wish to proceed on the basis of our quotation then
you must complete the quotation and any related documents
(as advised to you) and return them to us with payment
of a deposit. If, following our review of the documents
that you provide, we are happy to proceed then we will
send you our Confirmation. Your deposit will be returned
if we decide not to enter a contract of removal/storage
with you.
18) A legally binding contract will be formed when we
send to you our Confirmation, and until that stage all
discussions between us are strictly subject to contract.
The contract will be subject to these terms and conditions.
You should only sign and return the quotation and related
documentation if you are happy with the quotation and
these contract terms and conditions and wish to enter
into a legally binding contract on these terms and conditions.
19) For the avoidance of doubt the following matters
or circumstances have not, unless otherwise agreed in
writing, been taken into account or included in the quotation:
(a) The removal not commencing, other than because of
our breach, within 3 months of acceptance of our Confirmation;
(b) The work being undertaken on a weekend or public

parking fees and permits, in undertaking any removal;
(h) Any property not having proper and/or adequate access.
This includes, but is not limited to, not being able
to park within 20 metres of the door to the property,
the access being unsuitable for our vehicles or the property
being inadequate for the free and easy movement of the
goods into and within the property;
(i) Changes to our costs due to changes in currency values,
taxation or freight charges which are beyond our reasonable
control;
(j) Delays occurring for reasons that are outside our
reasonable control;
(k) the total value of the goods being in excess of £50,000.
20) If the removal or storage does give rise to any of
the matters set out at clause 19, and the quotation was
not adjusted to take these into account, then you will
pay to us the extra costs and expenses incurred because
of the effect of those matters.
21) The quotation shall not under any circumstances include
a charge for arranging or otherwise procuring insurance
over the goods themselves during the removal or storage.
YOUR RESPONSIBILTY
22) Whilst we have many responsibilities under this
contract there are some matters that you must be responsible
for. These are:
(a) Declaring to us, in accordance with clause 46 and
47, the value of your goods if you wish us to consider
accepting enhanced levels of liability for lost or damaged
goods.;
(b) Being present, either yourself or through a representative,
throughout collection and delivery of the goods;
(c) Checking that all the goods are both collected and
delivered;
(d) Checking that nothing is collected and/or delivered
in error;
(e) Where we have not agreed in writing to do so, obtaining
all necessary permits, licences, customs documents etc
that are necessary for the removal to take place. Where
we have agreed in writing to obtain any such necessary
permits, licences, customs documents (or some of them)
to provide all requested information and documentation
required to procure them promptly on request;
(f) Preparing the property and goods for the removal,
including but not limited to disconnecting all relevant
appliances and electronic equipment and emptying and
de-frosting any fridges and freezers and where we are
not packing, taking all steps to ensure that the goods
are packed, packaged and labelled in such manner that
they can withstand normal handling during their removal;
(g) Arranging proper security and protection for any
goods that will be left in premises which will be unattended
or to which third parties may have access either prior
to collection or following delivery.
(h) Advising us if you consider that it will not be possible
for vehicles typically used for household removals to
be able to park within 20 metres of the door of the property
or if access to a property is inadequate for the free
and easy movement of the goods into and within the property.
23) You must, before the commencement of the removal,
provide us with a contact address and contact details
which we can use if we need to contact you during the
removal and/or storage of the goods. If these details
change you must inform us. If we contact you in writing
using the details you have provided we will be entitled
to assume that you have duly received any communication
from us.
24) If you wish for your goods to be insured whilst being
removed or stored you must arrange this. We cannot arrange
such insurance due to FSA Regulation. However, we do
maintain insurance of our own to cover our potential
liability to you for loss and/or damage to your goods
or for losses arising from delay upto the level of liability
under this contract.
25) You shall be responsible for any losses, expenses
or other costs incurred by us arising from your failure
to attend to any of the matters set out at clauses 22-24
unless that loss was caused by our negligence.
POSTPONEMENT AND CANCELLATION
26) By agreeing to undertake the removal or storage we
incur costs in preparing for it and may also lose the
opportunity to undertake further work that would use
the same resources. Because of this we may suffer loss
if you cancel this contract or postpone its performance.
The amount we will potentially lose will depend on
when the cancellation and/or postponement occurs.
27) If you cancel or postpone more than 14 days before
the removal date then there shall be no charge payable
by you.
28) If you cancel or postpone less than 14 days but more
than 8 days before the removal date then you shall pay
to us a charge equivalent of 30% of the agreed removal
charge.
29) If you cancel or postpone 8 days or less before the
removal date then you shall pay to us a charge equivalent
of 60% of the agreed removal charge.
30) If you cancel or postpone less than 2 days before
the removal date then you shall pay us a charge equivalent
to 100% of the agreed removal charge.
PAYMENT OF OUR CHARGES
31) Clauses 32-37 set out the basis on which our charges
must be paid, unless we agree otherwise.
32) Full payment of our agreed charges must be made by
cleared funds at least 7 days before the commencement
of the removal. If payment has not been made within this
period then we shall, at our sole discretion, have the
option of treating the removal as cancelled. In such
circumstances our cancellation charges shall apply, and
the date of cancellation shall be the date that we give
you notice that we are treating the removal as cancelled.
33) You will pay any other charges or monies that become
due or payable under this contract within 30 days of
us sending you an invoice or request for the same.
34) You will pay all storage charges one month in advance.
35) You are not entitled to withhold payment by reason
of any claim, counterclaim or set-off.
36) We accept most major debit and credit cards and are
happy to accept payment in this way. A charge of 2.9%
of the sum paid will apply to payments by credit card
and a charge of 4.9% of the sum paid shall apply to payments
by Amex. Where payment is made by electronic transfer
you are responsible for all related banking charges,
and should make allowance for this when making payment.
37) Interest shall accrue and you shall pay it on all
overdue or outstanding monies at a rate of 4% above the
base rate of Royal Bank of Scotland plc.
UNDERTAKING THE REMOVAL
38) We will undertake the removal and storage with professional
care and skill and taking reasonable account of all the
circumstances. However, we specifically reserve the right
to undertake the removal or storage in a manner that
we think is appropriate including:
(a) sub-contracting all or part of the job to another
removal or storage company;
(b) choosing the route we think is most effective; and
(c) using such vehicles, containers and methods of transport
and/or storage as we believe are appropriate.
39) This does not however affect our responsibilities
under this contract to take care of your goods and to
provide the services within the appropriate timescales.
OUR LIABILTY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE
40) We shall in so far as it results from negligence
on our part and subject to the exclusions and limitations
set out below, be responsible for any loss or damage
done to the goods whilst they are in our custody and
control under these terms and conditions.
41) Other than when it results from negligence on our
part we shall have no liability for loss or damage to
the goods of any kind whatsoever.
42) In all cases the value of the goods for the purposes
of this contract and determining our liability shall
be the current replacement cost of each item making up
the goods, with due allowance for age, wear and tear
and depreciation. For the avoidance of doubt goods shall
not be valued on a “new for old basis”. Reference
to the value of the goods within these terms and conditions
shall be construed in accordance with this clause.
43) If goods are lost or are damaged beyond repair then
our liability will be, at most, the value of the goods
lost or damaged beyond repair.
44) If goods are damaged but can be repaired then our
liability will be, at most, the repair cost. We shall
not be liable for any diminution in value of the goods
as a consequence of the repair.
45) Under no circumstances, other than provided for in
clauses 46-49 below, shall our liability to you exceed £40
per item lost or damaged up to a maximum of £50,000
for any one removal/storage contract. For the avoidance
of doubt where goods have been packed in a wardrobe,
drawer, case, box or other type of container then the
liability shall be £40 for the container and the
items in it.
46) Prior to the removal you may ask us to agree to accept
enhanced liability for lost or damaged goods, in which
case the provisions of clauses 40, 41 and 45 will be
amended in accordance with clause 49. Before we will
accept enhanced liability you must provide a written
declaration of the total value of your goods to be removed/stored.
We will calculate our additional charges for enhancing
our liability on that declaration and the declared sum
will be our maximum liability to you for the loss or
damage of your goods. Where we agree to accept enhanced
liability this will be set-out in our Confirmation.
47) For certain removal destinations we will require
you to complete and return to us a valued inventory of
your goods, and any agreement to enhance our liability
will be strictly conditional upon receipt of that valued
inventory no later than the date upon which you pay the
removal charges. If the total value of your goods on
the valued inventory exceeds any declared value provided
to us earlier then we shall treat that greater sum as
the declared value and recalculate our charge for enhancing
our liability.
48) Our enhanced liability is strictly conditional upon
you paying, prior to the removal/storage of your goods,
our additional charges for providing the enhanced liability
facility.
49) In cases where we do agree to enhance our levels
of liability in accordance with clauses 46 to 48 the
following shall apply:
a) it shall not be necessary to establish that we have
been negligent, for the purposes of clause 40 and clause
41 shall be excluded;
b) the £40 per item limit within clause 45 shall
not apply, and the limit of our liability shall be the
value of the particular items lost or damaged, up to
the total declared value;
c) clause 58(a) shall not apply and in respect of goods
that we have not packed (as defined in clause 58) we
will not be liable for the loss of any item or items
where the box or other article into which they were packed
is delivered.
50) For the avoidance of doubt even in cases where enhanced
liability has been agreed clauses 42 to 44 and 52 to
61 shall nevertheless apply, except where specifically
excluded within clause 49(c).
51) The enhanced liability provided for by the mechanism
within clauses 46 and 47 is not insurance of your goods.
WHAT WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
IMPORTANT NOTE. THESE TERMS EXCLUDE AND LIMIT OUR RESPONSIBILITIES
AND LIABILTY TO YOU AND APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER
OR NOT YOU HAVE OPTED FOR ENHANCED LIABILITY
52) We shall not be responsible for any claim for loss
or damage to the goods or for delay where the total claim
amounts to less than a total of £100.
(a) Any claim is subject to £100.00 cost on each and every claim or series of claims arising out of any one event. This means that you will be responsible for this sum in the event of a claim.
53) Where any item forms part of a pair or set we shall
not be liable for more than the value of that particular
item, without reference to any special value which such
item may have as part of a pair or set.
54) We shall not under any circumstances be responsible
or liable for any consequential or indirect losses, including
but not limited to loss of profits or lost opportunity.
55) We shall not under any circumstances be liable for
the diminution in value of damaged goods which are repaired.

deterioration, leakage or evaporation;
(c) Incidence of moths, vermin or similar infestation;
(d) Cleaning, repairing or restoring, unless we agreed

(a) Loss or damage to the goods that occurs before we
have taken possession, custody and control of the goods;
(b) Loss or damage to the goods that occurs after we
have delivered or handed over the goods to you or to
a party nominated by you;

we will not be liable for:

part of the these goods;
b) damage to any item or items unless the outer-packaging
has suffered external impact damage and the item or items
were adequately packed and packaged to withstand normal
handling.

for removal or storage any of the goods listed at clause
6, without our agreement, in accordance with clause 7.
Such goods shall be removed or stored entirely at your
risk.

or store any of the goods set out at clause 6 then our
liability for loss and damage to them shall be limited
as set out in clause 8.
61) No employee of ours shall be separately liable to
you for any loss, damage or delay or other breach of
this contract.
DELIVERY DATES AND DELAYS IN TRANSIT
62) Where we advise you that your goods are to be carried
as a “part load” or a “groupage consignment” this
means that they will be carried for at least part of
the journey in a container or vehicle with the goods
of third parties. In such cases any transit period stated
by us will be provided for guidance only and shall not
be binding.
63) Any transit periods expressed in days shall mean
working days only and shall not include weekends or public
holidays within the UK, at destination or in an intermediate
transit country.
64) We shall not be responsible under any circumstance for losses incurred for missed/cancelled travel arrangements including flights where a part load is quoted/confirmed, it is advised that all travel arrangements and flights are made after goods have been collected.
65) If the collection or delivery of the goods is delayed
or fails to take place at all we will, if the delay or
failure arises from our negligence, pay your reasonable
expenses that arise as a result of the delay or failure,
such as but not limited to reasonable hotel costs. Under
no circumstances shall we be responsible delays in delivery
arising from the re-routing or delay in the voyage of
an ocean-going vessel, whatever the reason for the delay
or re-routing of the voyage.
66) Under no circumstances shall our liability for delay
under clause 65 exceed a total of £2000.

not be responsible and shall not have to
indemnify or compensate you in respect of any costs or
losses arising from delay or failure to deliver.
68) If we are unable to deliver the goods we may take
them into store. Other than where the delay results from
our negligence the original removal and/or storage contract
will then be fulfilled and any additional service(s),
including storage and delivery, will be provided in accordance
with these terms and conditions and at your expense.
DAMAGE TO ITEMS OR PROPERTY OTHER THAN THE GOODS BEING
REMOVED OR STORED
69) We will not be liable for any damage whether to premises,
property or the goods as a result of moving goods under
your express instruction, and against our advice where
moving the goods in the manner instructed will inevitably
cause damage.
70) In any event we shall only be liable for damage to
premises or property, other than the goods being submitted
for removal or storage, where such damage arises due
to negligence on our part.
71) Where damage to premises or property, other than
the goods being submitted for removal or storage, does
occur we must ask that you inform us immediately and
note the damage on the worksheet or delivery receipt.
In the absence of such notification we will not be able
to accept any liability for the damage.
NOTIFICATION OF CLAIMS & TIME LIMITS
FOR CLAIMS
72) In cases where we deliver goods you must notify us
of any visible loss, damage or failure to produce any
goods at the time of delivery. This should be noted
on the worksheet or delivery receipt.
73) If we do not deliver then you must notify us of any
visible loss, damage or failure to produce any goods
at the time when you, or your representative, take possession
of the goods. This should be noted on the worksheet or
delivery receipt.
74) IMPORTANT: TIME LIMIT FOR NOTIFICATION OF CLAIMS
OR COMMENCING SUIT
All claims for loss of or damage to goods must be notified
to us in writing whether the goods were unpacked or not,
within 7 days of delivery of the goods. In a case of
loss or non-delivery of all of the goods the claim must
be notified within 7 days of the anticipated delivery
date, or when you were informed of the loss, whichever
is the earlier.
75) In all events our liability shall be fully and finally
extinguished if proceedings have not been commenced against
us and notified to us in writing within 9 months from
the date that the goods were delivered or the date upon
which they should have been delivered.
76) In all cases these time limits will apply unless
a time extension is requested by you, within the applicable
time limit, and such extension is agreed by us in writing.
We will not unreasonably refuse to grant such an extension
of time.
OUR RIGHT TO WITHHOLD OR DISPOSE OF THE GOODS (LIEN)
77) We may keep hold of all or some of your goods until
you have paid all the charges you owe us, even if the
unpaid charges do not relate to those goods.
78) Furthermore we may sell all or some of your goods
to recover any unpaid charges. We can only do this after
giving you 30 days written notice that we intend to do
so. If we do sell any of your goods, and the proceeds
from the sale are greater than the amount you owe us,
we will pay you any excess amount after deducting the
cost of selling the goods.
ADVICE, INFORMATION AND THE BASIS OF AGREEMENT
79) In this document we set out the terms and conditions
of the contract between us. Please do not rely on promises
or claims, written or verbally made, that contradict
the terms and conditions of this document. In the event
of any apparent contradiction between these terms and
conditions and a promise or claim made please refer to
us for clarification.
LAW AND JURISDICTION
80) These terms and conditions and any contract entered
by us shall be subject to English law and any claim
arising from these terms and conditions or from any
contract of removal or storage entered by us shall
be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English
Courts.
EXTRA CONDITIONS THAT APPLY TO THE STORAGE OF GOODS
81) If you have failed to provide an address in accordance
with clause 23 or if you fail to respond to our correspondence
then we shall be entitled to publish notices in an
area from which the goods were removed. The publication
of such notice shall be accepted as valid communication
with you.
82) It is important that we both know what you have in
store. Where we prepare an inventory of the goods taken
into store and this is forwarded to you this must be
checked. You must inform us, as soon as possible, of
any inaccuracies. It shall be assumed that if you do
not bring any inaccuracies to our attention within 7
days that you are in agreement with the contents of the
inventory. The 7 day period can be extended if you request
a time extension, within the 7 day period, and the same
is confirmed in writing by us. We will not unreasonably
refuse to grant such an extension of time.
83) We reserve the right to review our storage charges
periodically. We will inform you of any change in the
applicable rates by giving you notice in writing not
less than 28 days before the change in rates. The new
rates will apply from the end of that 28 day period.
84) We reserve the right to terminate the storage contract
by giving you not less than 3 months notice in writing.
If the goods have not been collected by you, or on your
behalf, or delivered to you or to your order, by the
time the storage contract terminates then the goods will
thereafter only be held entirely at your risk and we
will have no liability in respect of the same.
85) If you wish to terminate the storage contract you
may do so by giving us not less than 14 days notice in
writing. Storage charges will then be payable up to the
end of the notice period or the date on which the goods
are removed, whichever is the later. All charges must
be paid upto date before the goods can be released. Once
the charges are paid we will endeavour to release the
goods at a time that is convenient to you.
86) If you decide to collect the goods rather than having
them delivered then we reserve the right to charge a
reasonable hand out charge for handing them over. You
are reminded that our responsibility for the goods ends
in accordance with clause 57. We must stress the importance
of goods being properly checked by you on delivery or
handing over to you or your representative.
EXTRA CONDITIONS THAT APPLY TO FOREIGN REMOVALS
87) The import of goods into many countries is heavily
regulated. Unless we otherwise agree in writing it
is your responsibility to complete all necessary documentation
and obtain relevant permissions, permits, licences,
customs documents or anything else necessary for the
import and clearance of your goods.
88) Where your goods are to be carried by sea you may
become liable for General Average contribution (that
is the costs incurred to preserve the carrying vessel
and cargo in certain circumstances), salvage costs and
costs of forward transmission. Unless we have agreed
to enhanced liability in accordance with clauses 46 to
49 we shall not be liable to you for any liability whatsoever
or howsoever arising, including by our negligence, that
you may incur for salvage, General Average or forwarding
costs.
89) We will not accept liability for goods confiscated,
seized or removed by Customs Authorities, or similar
bodies and Government Agencies other than in circumstances
where such confiscation, seizure or removal occurs due
to our negligence.
90) You will be responsible for and obliged to pay on
demand for any costs, charges (including but not limited
to demurrage or storage charges), expenses, fines, penalties
or similar cost incurred during the import, customs or
similar procedure unless they were incurred as a consequence
of negligence on our part in obtaining or arranging any
permission, permit, licence or customs document for which
we had agreed in writing to obtain or arrange.
GENERAL
91) The provisions contained in this contract are considered
fair and reasonable by the parties but if any provision
shall be found to be unenforceable but would be valid
if any part of it were deleted or modified, the provision
shall apply with such modifications as may be necessary
to make it valid and effective.
