Terms and Conditions for Man With Van Newburypark

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Man With Van Newburypark provides moving, transport, collection and related services to customers in the UK. By making a booking, the customer confirms that they have read, understood and agreed to these terms. These conditions are designed to protect both parties, clarify responsibilities, and ensure that each man with van service is carried out safely, lawfully and efficiently.

In these terms, references to “we”, “us” and “our” mean the service provider operating under the name Man With Van Newburypark. References to “you” or “the customer” mean the person, business or organisation making the booking or receiving the service. These terms apply to all standard moving, delivery, collection and transportation jobs unless agreed otherwise in writing.

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect legal, operational or administrative changes. The version in force at the time of booking will normally apply to that service. If any term is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms will continue in full force. No variation of these terms will be effective unless agreed by us in writing.

Booking process

All bookings are subject to availability and are only confirmed when we accept the request. A quote may be provided based on the information supplied by the customer, including item list, access conditions, addresses, timing requirements and any special handling needs. For a van and man service, accurate information is essential because the final price and vehicle size may depend on the volume, weight and complexity of the job.

Bookings may be requested by phone, email, online form or other agreed method. However, a quotation alone does not create a binding booking. We may require additional details before confirming the job, such as parking restrictions, floor level, lift access, dismantling requirements, or whether the load includes fragile, heavy or irregular items. If the details provided are incomplete or incorrect, we reserve the right to amend the price, the service scope or the scheduled time.

The customer is responsible for ensuring that all item descriptions, collection points and delivery points are accurate. Where we are asked to perform a man with van hire service, the customer must disclose any items that may require special handling, including pianos, appliances, glass, antiques or loads that exceed typical safe lifting limits. We may decline a booking or ask for additional staff or equipment if the job presents a safety or legal risk.

Once a booking is accepted, we will confirm the essential service details, which may include the date, estimated time window, service type, pricing basis, and any agreed extras. The customer should check the confirmation carefully and notify us promptly of any errors. We are not responsible for delays or additional charges arising from incorrect booking information supplied by the customer.

We reserve the right to refuse, suspend or cancel any booking where the service would be unlawful, unsafe, abusive or impractical. This includes situations where the customer fails to provide required access, where the property cannot be safely approached, or where the load contains prohibited goods. A man with van service is a practical transport solution, but it remains subject to legal, safety and operational limits.

Payments

Payment terms will be agreed at the time of booking or on the invoice. Unless stated otherwise, payment is due immediately upon completion of the service. We may require a deposit or full advance payment for certain jobs, including high-value, long-distance, same-day or time-sensitive bookings. Accepted payment methods will be advised before the booking is confirmed.

All prices are quoted in pounds sterling unless stated otherwise. Quotes may be based on an hourly rate, fixed fee, mileage rate or a combination of these. The final charge may include waiting time, congestion delays, parking costs, tolls, congestion charges, extra labour, handling charges, dismantling or reassembly, and any other additional work agreed or reasonably required to complete the job. If the customer requests a change to the original scope, we may revise the price accordingly.

Where an invoice is issued, it must be paid by the due date shown. Late payment may result in administrative charges, interest where permitted by law, or recovery action. We may retain goods, where lawful, until outstanding sums are paid in full. No deduction or set-off may be made unless we agree to it in writing. For any man and van Newburypark arrangement, the customer remains responsible for ensuring that payment can be made in accordance with the agreed terms.

Cancellations and amendments

The customer may cancel or amend a booking by notifying us as soon as possible. Cancellation charges may apply depending on how much notice is given, whether vehicles or staff have already been allocated, and whether third-party costs have been incurred. If cancellation occurs after the vehicle has been dispatched or work has started, the customer may be liable for the full or partial service charge, together with any wasted time, fuel or related expenses.

We may cancel or reschedule a booking due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including severe traffic disruption, vehicle breakdown, adverse weather, staff illness, road closures or safety concerns. If we cancel and no suitable alternative can be arranged, any prepaid amount for the cancelled service will normally be refunded, subject to lawful deductions for work already carried out or non-recoverable costs. We will not be liable for indirect losses resulting from a cancellation or delay.

Service conditions and customer responsibilities

The customer must ensure that the premises, vehicle access points and collection or delivery locations are suitable for the service. This includes providing safe access, accurate parking information, and sufficient clearance for loading and unloading. If additional waiting time occurs because of poor access, no-show recipients, locked premises, unavailable parking or missing instructions, we may charge for the extra time at our standard rate.

The customer must be present or represented at the relevant property unless otherwise agreed. They are responsible for ensuring that all goods are packed appropriately and that fragile items are protected. Unless we expressly agree to provide packing services, we are not responsible for the contents of boxes or for hidden damage caused by poor packing. For a man with van Newburypark move, the customer should also make sure that any required permissions from landlords, building management or neighbours are obtained in advance.

We may refuse to move items that are unsafe, illegally stored, excessively heavy, hazardous or likely to cause damage to property, people or the vehicle. We are not obliged to move items through windows, over obstacles or via access routes that are unsafe or unsuitable. If we reasonably believe that a task would place anyone at risk, we may stop work immediately and charge for the time already spent.

Liability

We will exercise reasonable skill and care in providing the service. However, our liability is limited to direct loss or damage caused by our proven negligence or breach of contract. We are not responsible for losses arising from inaccurate information provided by the customer, pre-existing defects, hidden damage, inadequate packing, or circumstances outside our control.

We do not exclude liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. In all other cases, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from a specific booking shall not exceed the amount paid for that booking, unless a higher limit is required by law or expressly agreed in writing.

We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, including loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, missed deadlines or emotional distress. Claims for damage must be reported as soon as reasonably possible and, in any event, within a reasonable time after the event. The customer should retain damaged items and packaging where relevant, as we may need supporting evidence to assess a claim.

Waste regulations and disposal

If our service includes removal, loading, transport or disposal of waste, the customer must ensure that the waste is accurately described and lawfully presented for collection. We will only handle waste in compliance with applicable UK waste regulations, environmental laws and duty-of-care requirements. We may request details about the waste type, quantity and origin before accepting the job.

The customer must not present hazardous, clinical, chemical, asbestos-containing, explosive or otherwise prohibited waste unless we have expressly agreed in writing and the service is lawful and appropriately licensed. Any waste that requires special permits, segregation or treatment may be refused. If prohibited waste is discovered after the booking is accepted, we may cancel the waste-related element of the service and charge for any costs already incurred.

Where waste is removed by us, the customer acknowledges that lawful disposal may involve transfer to licensed facilities, and that charges may reflect handling, sorting, transport and disposal fees. The customer must not request unlawful dumping, fly-tipping, concealment of waste origin or misdescription of waste type. We reserve the right to keep records necessary to demonstrate compliance with duty-of-care obligations. A compliant man with van service supports lawful disposal only and does not permit any breach of environmental law.

Force majeure, delays and substitutions

We are not liable for failure or delay in performing our obligations where the failure results from events beyond our reasonable control. These may include accidents, severe weather, fuel shortages, road closures, public transport disruption, industrial action, government restrictions, utility failures, fire, flood, theft or acts of third parties. In such cases, we will take reasonable steps to continue, postpone or reschedule the service where possible.

We may use suitable subcontractors, replacement vehicles or alternative routes to complete the service, provided this does not materially reduce the agreed standard. If a specified vehicle or team member is unavailable, we may substitute another appropriate resource. Any estimated arrival time is provided in good faith but is not guaranteed unless expressly agreed as a fixed appointment. Reasonable delays do not constitute a breach where they are caused by traffic, loading difficulties or unforeseen operational issues.

Termination and governing law

We may terminate the service immediately if the customer breaches these terms, behaves abusively, provides false information, fails to pay, or creates an unsafe or unlawful situation. In such cases, the customer remains responsible for all sums due up to the point of termination, including any reasonable costs incurred. If a booking is terminated because the customer has not prepared the collection or delivery point, we may charge for wasted attendance and waiting time.

These terms, and any dispute or claim arising from them, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, unless mandatory law requires otherwise. Nothing in these terms affects statutory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

By proceeding with a booking, the customer confirms acceptance of these terms for the relevant man with van Newburypark service. These conditions are intended to provide clarity and fairness so that each booking is handled professionally, lawfully and with reasonable care. If any issue arises, both parties should act reasonably and seek to resolve it in good faith.
