2.1 Information supplied by You. You warrant that any information which You have provided to Us and on which We have reasonably relied in assessing any quotation or estimate of the resources necessary to carry out the work is accurate.
2.2 Owner or Authorised Agent. You warrant that, in entering into this agreement, you are either the owner of the Goods, or the authorised agent of the owner.

Except where We or our Nominated Agent/Subcontractor/ Third Party Provider have packed the Goods, you warrant that You have complied with all laws and regulations relating to the packaging, labelling or carriage of the Goods, and that the Goods are packed in a manner adequate, having regard to their nature, to withstand the ordinary risks of removal, carriage and storage.
2.4 Presence at Loading/Unloading. You will ensure that You or some person on your behalf is present when the Goods are loaded or unloaded, except if they are being unloaded into or loaded from storage. You must ensure that you or a person acting on your behalf is present at all times when the goods are loaded or unloaded.

2.5 Dangerous Goods. You warrant that the Goods do not include any firearms or plants or goods which are or may become of a dangerous, corrosive, highly combustible, explosive, damaging or noxious nature nor likely to encourage any vermin or pest or to cause infection unless You have disclosed to Us in writing the presence and nature of any such items prior to them being made available to Us for loading or storage.

If We or our Nominated Agent/Subcontractor/ Third Party Provider discover any article or substance of this nature after the Goods have been received by Us or our or our Nominated Agent/Subcontractor/ Third Party Provider, we may take any reasonable action, including destruction or disposal, as We or our Nominated Agent/Subcontractor/ Third Party Provider may think fit without incurring any liability to You.

We or our Nominated Agent/Subcontractor/ Third Party Provider shall be entitled to carry, or arrange for the carriage of, the Goods by any reasonable route (having regard to all the circumstances including the nature and destination of any other goods being carried on or in the conveying vehicle or container) and by any reasonable means, including, where We or our Nominated Agent/Subcontractor/ Third Party Provider consider it necessary or desirable, by sea, rail or air, and for that purpose, as Your agent, to arrange for a Third Party Provider effect such carriage by sea, rail or air.
3.2 Ancillary Services. Where We engage any Third-Party Providers/Subcontractors, we do so on Your behalf, and as Your agent, and subject to the terms and conditions of that party. We accept no liability, including liability for any loss or damage, arising out of the provision of Ancillary Services. However, if We arrange for a Third Party Provider to undertake carriage of the Goods by sea, rail or air, and the Goods suffer loss or damage at some time when they are either in Our possession or the possession of the Third Party Provider, and if We cannot establish, on the balance of probabilities, that the Goods were in the possession of the Third Party Provider when that loss or damage occurred, the Goods will be deemed to have been in Our possession at that time.

These are insurable risks, and You should arrange adequate marine transit insurance cover, which may be arranged through Us – see sub-clause 11.1.
3.4 Overseas Removal by Road.

3.5 Subcontractors. We may use a Subcontractor or Subcontractors to undertake the whole or any part of the Services, but if We do so, we will continue to be responsible to You for the performance of the Services.
3.6 Liability of Subcontractors and Employees.

4.1 Conditions of Delivery. We shall not be bound to deliver the Goods except to You or a person authorised in writing by You to receive the Goods. If We cannot deliver the Goods either because there is no authorised person there to receive them on Our arrival, or because We cannot gain access to the premises, or for any other reason beyond Our control or if We are prevented from or delayed in undertaking the Services or any part thereof (except where that prevention or delay results from a factor within Our control), We will be entitled to unload the Goods into a warehouse, and will be entitled to charge an additional amount for storage and for the subsequent re-delivery of the Goods.
4.2 Storage and Handling for Non-delivery. If We cannot deliver the Goods or there are delays in delivery, we will endeavour to contact You to ascertain whether You have any alternative instructions, and if so We will carry out those instructions if reasonably practicable. We will be entitled to make a reasonable additional charge for any additional work or costs thereby required or entailed. The rate for additional storage and handling charges for transport or storage will be a reasonably practicable charge determined at the time.
5.1 Inventory. We will prepare an inventory of Goods received for storage and will ask You to sign that inventory. You will be provided with a copy of the inventory. If You sign the inventory, or do not do so and fail to object to its accuracy within 7 days of receiving it from Us, the inventory will be conclusive evidence of the Goods received by Us. The inventory will disclose only visible items and not any contents unless You ask for the contents to be listed, in which case We will be entitled to make a reasonable additional charge.
5.2 Contact Address. You agree to advise Us of an address to which We can forward any notice or correspondence, and to promptly notify Us of any change of address.
5.3 Price Changes. Our storage charges will be as quoted to You for the first 26 weeks of storage. After 26 weeks, we may change the storage charges from time to time based on industry rate increases.

5.6 Removal from Storage. Subject to payment for the balance of any fixed or minimum period of storage agreed, you may require the Goods to be removed from store at any time on giving Us not less than 10 working days’ notice. If You give Us less notice, we will still use Our best endeavours to meet your requirement but shall be entitled to make a reasonable additional charge for the short notice.
5.7 Compulsory Removal and Disposal. You agree to remove the Goods from storage within 28 days of a written notice of requirement from Us to do so. In default, we may, after 14 days’ notice to You, SELL ALL OR ANY OF THE GOODS by public auction or on eBay or a similar online auction sale facility or, if that is not reasonably practicable, by private treaty and apply the net proceeds in or towards satisfaction of any amount owing by You to Us.
5.8 Sale of Goods. For the purposes of preparing for the sale of the Goods under clauses 6.7 or 7.5 or otherwise as permitted by law, we are authorised by You to open any boxes in storage to inspect and identify the contents and We may at Our discretion decide which contents will be offered for sale to the general public. At Our discretion, any items we do not offer for sale may be stored by Us for such period as We consider appropriate and We may invite You to collect those items from Us once We have been paid all moneys due by You to Us for Services provided under this or any other agreement. If We fail to sell the Goods at public auction or eBay, we may at Our option pay $1 for the Goods and at Our discretion dispose of the Goods.

6.2. Cleaning Requirements Moving the items and furniture while cleaning up the property is not included in our services. So, an additional cost will be applied for it. Use of eco-friendly chemicals and tools is also not part of our service. Thus, extra charges are applicable for it.

If the work You ultimately require Us to do varies significantly from the work for which a quotation or estimate has been given or You ask us to suspend or cease the provision of the Services, we will treat any alternative instructions You give us for the provision of Services as new instructions and provide you with a further Quotation advising you of the charges for that new work.
7.2 Alteration of Dates. If a date for the performance by Us of any Services is agreed upon in the quotation and acceptance or subsequently, and You require that date to be altered or the Goods are not available on that date, we will be entitled to make a reasonable additional charge for any loss or additional expense occasioned by such alteration or unavailability.
7.3 Payment to Third Parties, Taxes and Duties etc. We will be entitled to reimbursement from You of any amount which we have been required to pay to a third party (other than to a Subcontractor) to obtain or effect delivery of the Goods. In addition, We will be entitled to reimbursement of any customs duties, sales tax, GST, and other similar Government costs and charges; for costs and charges associated with inspection, examination, seizure or destruction undertaken, required or authorised by any Government or other authority; and for unforeseen additional costs and charges for fumigation and steam cleaning, bonding, container demurrage and external storage.
7.4 Payment by Third Party. If You arrange with Us or instruct Us that Our charges are to be paid by a third party, and if that party does not pay the charges within 14 days of the date set for payment or, if no date is set for payment, within 14 days of the date of invoice, You agree to thereupon pay the charges.
7.5 Default Charges. If amounts are outstanding from You to Us for more than 30 days, We will be entitled to charge interest at the Commonwealth Bank maximum personal overdraft interest rate for amounts not exceeding $100,000 from time to time, calculated on monthly rests.

8.2 Negligence. The Nominated Agent/Subcontractor/ Third Party Provider will only be liable for the proportion to which the loss or damage to the Goods is caused by or contributed to by their negligence (including the negligence of any Subcontractor).

8.4 Damage to Goods – Packaging. If the Goods sustain damage by reason of defective or inadequate packing or unpacking, and the packing or unpacking (as the case may be) was not undertaken by Us or The Nominated Agent/Subcontractor/ Third Party Provider, We will not be liable.
8.5 Damage to Goods – Inherent Risk. Certain goods (including electrical and mechanical appliances, computer equipment, scientific instruments and certain musical instruments) are inherently susceptible to suffer damage or disorder upon removal. Unless that damage or disorder results from the want of due care and skill on Our or The Nominated Agent/Subcontractor/ Third Party Provider part, We will not be liable.
8.6 Damage to Goods – Furniture Items. If You have elected not to take out any insurance over furniture items whilst in transit or storage and We or The Nominated Agent/Subcontractor/ Third Party Provider did not package any
furniture items for You prior to transit or storage, The Nominated Agent/Subcontractor/ Third Party Provider will only be liable for damage to the furniture items up to an amount of $500 per item. This cap on Our or The Nominated Agent/Subcontractor/ Third Party Provider liability to You does not apply if there is evidence that We or The Nominated Agent/Subcontractor/ Third Party Provider failed to exercise due care and skill and this failure is what caused the damage.
8.7 Lost, Stolen or Misplaced Items. If You have elected not to take out any insurance over the Goods whilst in transit or storage, and We or The Nominated Agent/Subcontractor/ Third Party Provider have not packed the Goods for You, We will only be liable for lost, stolen or misplaced boxes or items up to an amount of $500 per box. This cap on Our or The Nominated Agent/Subcontractor/ Third Party Provider liability to You does not apply if You provided Us with a completed inventory including valuation of the contents of the box containing the Goods prior to commencement of transit or storage and there is evidence that We or The Nominated Agent/Subcontractor/ Third Party Provider failed to reasonably secure the Goods whilst in Our or The Nominated Agent/Subcontractor/ Third Party Provider’s custody or care.
8.8 Notification of Loss or Damage. Any claim for loss or damage under this clause 9 is to be notified by You to Us in writing, or by telephone and later confirmed in writing, within 7 days from the date of delivery. We will have the best chance of locating any misplaced items, or ascertaining the cause of damage, if that notification is given to Us within 2 working days.
8.9 Maximum Value of Goods. In any claim for loss or damage under this clause 8, any estimate of the value of the Goods which You have provided to Us, whether for the purposes of insurance or otherwise, will be prima facie evidence that the total value of the Goods, or the value of any item or group of items for which a value was specified, did not exceed that estimate at the time of loss or damage.
9.1 Application. If the Services are required by You for the purposes of a business, trade, profession or occupation in which You are engaged, the following conditions of this clause 10 will apply.
9.2 Negligence. The Nominated Agent/Subcontractor will only be liable for loss or damage to the Goods or any other property resulting from Our or The Nominated Agent’s negligence (including the negligence of any Subcontractor, but excluding the negligence of any Third Party Provider and of any removal contractor who performs any part of the overseas removal of the Goods by road unless that removal contractor is a Nominated Agent), and in any event that liability will be limited to $100 per item or package, or $1,000 in respect of all Goods moved or stored under this agreement (whichever is the lesser), and $200 in respect of any other property.

We will not be liable for any loss, damage or delay which results from any cause beyond Our control, including weather or industrial disputes; any loss or damage resulting from inadequate or improper packing or unpacking unless the Goods damaged or causing damage were both packed and unpacked by Us; loss or damage to any fragile goods or valuable items as referred to in sub-clause 3.7, even if of a value less than $2000; nor electrical, electronic or mechanical derangement of Goods.
9.4 Claims. In circumstances where We are liable under subclause 10.2, notice of the claim must be given by You to Us as soon as possible, and written notice must be given within 7 days of the date of delivery or, in the case of loss, the date upon which the Goods would ordinarily have been delivered, failing which We will have no further liability.
10.1 Our Insurance. We offer to arrange for the Goods to be insured during transit and storage, and details of the type of insurance and the rates are set out in Our quotation and/or will be provided on request. This insurance will only be arranged if You request Us in writing to do so (including by so indicating in Your written acceptance of Our quotation).
10.2 Other Insurance. You may, of course, arrange insurance with an insurer of Your choice.
11.1 Notification of Dispute. If You or We consider that a dispute has arisen in relation to this agreement (either during the Services, or after they have been completed), written notice of the dispute will be given to the other party. Even if that notice is given, You and We must continue to perform any obligations outstanding by Us under the agreement.
11.2 Dispute Resolution. If You and We cannot resolve the dispute between Us, You are entitled to refer the dispute to the Australian Furniture Removers Association (telephone +612 9659 5300) which has procedures for dispute resolution, and We, but not You, will be bound by the outcome of that referral.

13.2 Notice. Any notice to be given by Us to You may be given personally or by prepaid post addressed to Your address last known to Us, or by facsimile to a facsimile number at that address, or by electronic mail.
The law which governs this agreement will be the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia where We have our principal place of business except where You currently reside in a place outside Australia, in which case the local laws in that place apply to the extent that those laws apply to the subject matter of this agreement and You and We cannot choose to apply Australian laws. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Australian courts in relation to any action, suit or proceeding which may arise out of or in connection with this agreement and the parties irrevocably waive any objections to any action, suit or proceedings in the Australian courts on the grounds that the proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient or inappropriate forum.

6.2 You must not impose any additional deposit or similar prepayment or charge for Services under a Removal Contract.
6.3 Quoted Price
The Quoted Price is the estimated total price of the
Move provided to the Customer. It includes the Mover’s Fee and the Service Fee, exclusive of any transaction fees charged by Moving Solutions Australia’s third party payment service providers.
6.4 Service Fee
The Service Fee provided to the Customer is an estimate calculated based on:
6.4.1 pricing information that you have provided to
Moving Solutions Australia; and

In order to process payments, Moving Solutions Australia may engage third party payment service providers. These providers may charge transaction fees, depending on the payment method chosen by the Customer. Any such fee is borne by the Customer.
6.6 The total price ultimately payable by the Customer may differ from the Quoted Price provided to them upon booking. You may identify that a variation or adjustment to the Quoted Price is required in accordance with the terms of your Removal Contract (Variation). For example, if:

Price is required, you must provide Moving Solutions Australia and the Customer with the reasons in writing for why the Variation is required. The Customer will then be asked to approve the proposed Variation.

6.10 Unless otherwise stated, all amounts set out in these Terms are exclusive of GST.

7.2 Moving Solutions Australia is not a party to your Removal Contract and makes no representations, warranties or guarantees about a Mover or Customer’s right to cancel their Removal Contract or to claim a refund of, or otherwise recover, any amounts paid pursuant to that Removal Contract.
7.3 If a Customer cancels their booking, or if you cancel or fail to perform as per agreed service, Moving Solutions Australia will only be responsible for the refund (if any) of the Service Fee. The Customer may make a claim against you for refund or recovery of the Mover’s Fee (if applicable, under the Removal Contract). 7.4 Any transaction fee charged by Moving Solutions Australia third party payment service provider is be nonrefundable.
7.5 Upon receiving notice of a Customer’s Booking Confirmation for your Services, you will have 24 hours to accept the job. If you do not accept the Booking Confirmation within that time, then no Service Contract will arise, and you will forfeit that job. Moving Solutions Australia reserves the right to assist Customers with finding an alternative Mover for their Move.
7.6 It is vital that you only accept jobs that you are ready, willing and able to perform.

8.1.1 Goods in transit insurance;
8.1.2 Worker’s compensation insurance; and
8.1.3 Public liability insurance.

Moving Solutions Australia reserves the right to change the terms of its insurance policies with its insurance providers at any time and without notice.
