Section 1.
SML will not provide packing material, furniture pads, tie-downs, shrink-wrap or any materials not specifically listed in the above section titled Load Information or Unload Information. The Customer agrees to provide all Packing Materials required for the move. Packing materials such as furniture pads and tie-downs are strongly recommended to prevent movement and/or reduce the risk of damage to items during transit. Please inquire about how to purchase/rent these items prior to your load date.
The above rate(s) is not an estimate for how long it will take to complete your job. This is a quote for the minimum price you will be charged for services provided. If your job takes longer to complete than the minimum time quoted, you will be charged the hourly rate in 30-minute increments until completion.
In the case of inclement weather, the customer is responsible for a minimum of the deposit payment should the crew be turned away. Should the job stop within the first two hours due to weather, the customer is responsible for the two-hour minimum total cost. If the crew determines conditions are unsafe, SML reserves the right to reschedule with no fee to the customer.
Section 2.
Damage Claims: SML will not be liable for any loss thereof or damage thereto or delay caused by an act of God/weather, the public enemy, acts of terrorism, the authority of law, or any act or default of the shipper or owner, or its vendors and /or agents. All damage claims must be filed within 14 days of completion of your job, and notice of damages must be provided to SML as provided herein when the damage occurs or is discovered. Customer further acknowledges that if any damage occurs during the loading and/or unloading process, Customer shall immediately notify the lead loader/unloader, and require that the damage be noted by the lead loader/unloader in writing with a full description of the damage and how it occurred. Failure to document on the work ticket any property damage prior to their departure will forfeit any claim of damage to the property against SML. With the purchase of our ProMover Service, SML and its vendors are liable for damage during the load and/or unload ONLY. SML’s limited liability is a, free of charge, company provided valuation - it is not insurance. SML’s valuation ends immediately upon crew jobsite departure. If damage occurs to your household goods while a SML crew is actively loading/unloading your items, SML’s valuation coverage is limited to a rate schedule of $0.60 per pound per item as determined by the US DOT standard weights and measures. Damage which occurs during transit is not covered for any reason. Items which are part of a pair or set will be valued as individual items. Customer hereby acknowledges that the loader/unloader is not responsible for unsealed cartons or item(s) not packed by SML. Customer further acknowledges that the loader/unloader is not responsible for ceramic, granite, or marble and does not warrant the mechanical condition of appliances, or electronics, as there is no way for the loader/unloader to know the operational ability of each item prior to the move. Pressed Board, particle or compressed wood is excluded from our coverage due to the nature of the material. (We advise Customers to check with their home or renter’s insurance for coverage terms.) Customer further acknowledges that the loader/unloader is not responsible for any damage to pool/billiard tables, pianos or grandfather clocks. Be advised that stock, bonds, fur, jewelry, prescription drugs, paper money, coins and collectibles of any kind will not be covered for any reason. Customer further warrants and represents that Customer will not pack items of this nature, and that Customer, or its designated agent, will be present at all times during the load/unload of Customer’s household goods. Customer hereby further represents and warrants that Customer will inspect the goods prior to SML commencing loading of Customer’s goods, and immediately after unloading. In no event, shall SML be liable for indirect, consequential, incidental, exemplary, punitive or special damages, income, including lost profits, use of other benefits, arising out of or in connection with the performance of SML’s obligations under this Agreement or any failure of such performance, even if the possibility of such damages had been foreseen by or communicated to SML by Customer.
SML reserves the right to refuse any task or job that is found to be a concern of health, safety, legality, or otherwise at SML's sole discretion.
Important Notice: Any and all items in excess of 300 Lbs. are not authorized to be moved or covered under any valuation unless declared and approved by SML prior to the load/unload.
In the event a floor(s) is damaged (whether affected floor is wood, tile, carpet, laminate, concrete or any other material) SML's liability for repair will be confined to the locally affected area only; repairs must be approved via SML's claims process and cannot guarantee an exact match to the original finish. By signing this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that SML will not be responsible for the cost of an entire floor to be resurfaced or refinished regardless of circumstance.
