Terms and Conditions for Man With Van Leavesgreen
These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Man With Van Leavesgreen provides removal, transport, loading, unloading, and related van-based services to customers in the United Kingdom. By placing a booking, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms, which are intended to create a clear agreement about the service, pricing, responsibilities, and limitations that apply to each job. References to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the service provider, while “you” and “your” mean the person or business booking the service.
These terms apply to man with van services in Leavesgreen whether the job involves household items, office contents, single-item transport, or general load carriage. They are designed to support fair use of the service and to reduce uncertainty around access, timing, payment, and lawful disposal of waste. If any part of these terms is not accepted, the booking should not proceed. Nothing in these terms is intended to affect rights that cannot be excluded under UK law.
The customer must ensure that all details provided at the time of booking are accurate and complete. This includes the collection address, delivery address, access information, item descriptions, approximate size and weight of items, and any special handling requirements. Where a customer books a van and man service in Leavesgreen, any failure to provide accurate details may affect the quoted price, the booking time, or the ability to complete the job safely.
Booking Process
Bookings may be made by telephone, email, online form, or any other method we make available from time to time. A booking is only confirmed once we have accepted the requested service and provided confirmation of the date, approximate time window, scope of work, and estimated or fixed price, where applicable. Until confirmation is issued, no slot is guaranteed. A removals van service may be subject to vehicle availability, crew availability, route planning, and the information supplied by the customer.
We may request photographs, item lists, parking details, or building access information to assess the requirements of the job. If the customer’s actual needs differ from the information supplied, we reserve the right to adjust the quotation or decline part of the service if it cannot be completed safely or lawfully. The customer must make sure that the property is accessible at the agreed time and that any permits, parking arrangements, or third-party permissions required for loading and unloading have been obtained in advance.
Prices and Payments
Charges may be based on an hourly rate, a fixed fee, a mileage basis, a volume estimate, a combination of these, or another pricing structure stated at the time of booking. Any quotation is based on the information supplied and may be revised if there is a material change to the job, including additional items, stairs, long carries, waiting time, congestion, delays, or restricted access. For a man with a van in Leavesgreen, the final charge may differ from the original estimate where the service takes longer or requires more resources than reasonably anticipated.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due on completion of the job and before unloading is finished or items are released, where this is reasonable and communicated in advance. We may accept bank transfer, card payment, cash, or another agreed method. All prices are stated in pounds sterling and may include VAT where applicable. Any bank charges, currency conversion charges, or failed payment fees imposed by a financial provider are the customer’s responsibility if the issue arises from the customer’s payment method.
Where a deposit is required, it must be paid by the deadline stated at the time of booking. A booking may be cancelled if the deposit is not received on time. We may also require immediate payment for additional work requested during the job, including extra collection points, additional labour, or disposal of items not listed at the time of the original booking. If payment is overdue, we reserve the right to charge reasonable recovery costs and any interest allowed by law.
Cancellations, Amendments and Delays
You may request a cancellation or amendment by giving notice as soon as possible. Because a slot may have been reserved specifically for your job, short-notice cancellations can cause loss of time and expenses. Unless a different policy is stated in the booking confirmation, cancellations made within 48 hours of the scheduled time may be charged in part or in full where we have incurred costs, allocated staff, or been unable to rebook the time. A moving van service appointment changed at short notice may also be subject to a revised price.
If we need to cancel or reschedule due to vehicle failure, road conditions, staff illness, adverse weather, legal restrictions, or other matters beyond our reasonable control, we will use reasonable efforts to offer an alternative time. We are not liable for indirect losses caused by such changes, provided we act fairly and promptly. Delays caused by traffic, parking restrictions, security checks, building access problems, or events outside our control do not usually entitle the customer to compensation, though we will try to keep the customer informed.
Where the customer is not ready at the agreed start time, or where access is blocked, keys are unavailable, or the goods are not prepared for loading, waiting time may be charged at the applicable rate. If the delay is excessive, we may treat the booking as cancelled by the customer and charge reasonable costs. Any amendment to the scope of work may affect our ability to complete the job within the original time slot.
Customer Responsibilities
The customer is responsible for ensuring that the goods to be moved are properly packed, unless packing is expressly included in the service. Fragile items should be secured, disassembled where appropriate, and labelled if required. The customer must tell us in advance about items that are particularly heavy, delicate, awkward, valuable, or hazardous. We may refuse to transport items that we reasonably consider unsafe, unlawful, or unsuitable for a standard man with van arrangement.
The customer must not include prohibited, dangerous, or illegal items in the load. This includes, without limitation, firearms, explosives, pressurised cylinders, solvents, chemicals, biohazards, asbestos, counterfeit goods, stolen items, or any property that could place people, vehicles, or other property at risk. If we discover such items, we may refuse the load, notify the relevant authorities if necessary, and still charge for any time or expense already incurred.
The customer must have the right to instruct us to move or dispose of the goods offered for transport. By handing goods over to us, the customer confirms that they own the items or have authority from the owner to arrange their movement or disposal. We are not responsible for checking ownership documents unless this is reasonably required for legal or operational reasons. The customer should retain insurance cover for items of particular value, as our liability is limited as set out below.
Liability and Insurance
We will take reasonable care when carrying out services, but liability is limited to losses that arise directly from our negligence or breach of contract and that are reasonably foreseeable. We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded. Subject to those rights, we are not liable for indirect losses, loss of profit, loss of opportunity, emotional distress, business interruption, or consequential losses.
Where items are packed by the customer, we are not responsible for damage resulting from inadequate packing, unsuitable containers, pre-existing defects, or items that are inherently fragile. Likewise, we are not liable for scratches, dents, or minor cosmetic marks that arise despite reasonable care, provided the item was handled appropriately and the risk was reasonable for the nature of the work. A van with man removal service may involve lifting through narrow spaces, stairs, and constrained access, and the customer accepts the normal risks associated with such environments.
Our liability for loss or damage to goods, where legally permitted, will normally be limited to the lower of the actual repair or replacement cost and any insurance or liability cap stated in the booking confirmation or pricing terms. The customer should notify us of any alleged damage as soon as reasonably possible and, where practical, before the goods are moved from the delivery point. Failure to notify promptly may make it harder to assess the claim, though it does not remove statutory rights.
Waste Regulations and Disposal
Where the service includes removal of unwanted items, waste, or clearance materials, both parties must comply with UK waste legislation and duty of care requirements. We will only transport and dispose of waste where it is lawful to do so and where we have the appropriate arrangements in place. The customer must describe waste accurately and must not conceal hazardous, clinical, electrical, or regulated materials within a general load. If such materials are presented, we may refuse collection or charge additional fees for lawful handling, where permitted.
The customer remains responsible for ensuring that items handed over for disposal are genuinely waste and not items that should be retained, recycled separately, or processed through a specialist route. Where required, we may ask for clarification about the nature of the waste, the source address, and the destination or disposal method. If a customer asks us to dispose of items on their behalf, the customer warrants that the disposal request is lawful and that no further permissions are needed from landlords, managing agents, or other parties.
We may use licensed waste transfer or disposal partners where appropriate. If required by law, we will keep records relating to the transfer, movement, or disposal of waste. The customer agrees to provide any information reasonably needed for compliance and to cooperate if an authority requests clarification. We will not knowingly participate in fly-tipping, improper dumping, or any disposal activity that breaches environmental or waste control rules. If we suspect that a booking is intended to avoid lawful disposal obligations, we may terminate the service immediately.
Damage, Claims and Force Majeure
Any claim for loss or damage should be raised within a reasonable time, ideally within 24 hours of completion for visible damage and as soon as reasonably possible for hidden damage. Supporting evidence such as photographs, item descriptions, and proof of value may be requested. We will review claims fairly and may inspect the item, packaging, and circumstances of the incident before reaching a decision. Failure to preserve the item or provide requested information may limit our ability to investigate the claim.
We are not responsible for delays or failure to perform caused by events outside our reasonable control, including severe weather, flood, fire, accident, road closure, strike action, public emergency, government restriction, or interruption of utilities or communications. In such circumstances, our obligations are suspended for the duration of the event to the extent affected. If the event continues for a prolonged period, either party may cancel the affected booking without further liability, except for payment of services already provided.
Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer, where applicable. If you are booking on behalf of a business, you confirm that you have authority to agree to these terms and that business customers may be subject to different pricing, credit, or risk arrangements if set out separately. Any waiver of rights must be in writing and signed or otherwise confirmed by us. Failure to enforce a right on one occasion does not mean that right is waived for future bookings.
General Terms
If any part of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. We may update these terms from time to time to reflect operational changes, legal developments, or improvements in service practice. The version in force at the time of booking will generally apply to that booking unless a later change is expressly agreed. These terms, together with any written booking confirmation, form the entire agreement relating to the service.
We may assign or subcontract some or all of the work to a suitably qualified partner if needed to complete the service efficiently. This will not reduce our responsibility to provide the service with reasonable care and skill. The customer may not transfer rights or obligations under the booking to another person without our written agreement. Any notice given under these terms should be provided in a clear written form unless otherwise agreed.
Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising from them or in connection with them, are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The parties agree that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction, unless mandatory law provides otherwise. By making a booking with Man With Van Leavesgreen, the customer confirms that they have read, understood, and accepted these terms as the contractual basis for the service.
