Man With Van Ruxley Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Man With Van Ruxley provides moving, transportation, and related services within the United Kingdom. By making a booking, the customer agrees to these terms and confirms that they have read and understood them. These terms are intended to be clear, fair, and practical, and they apply to domestic, commercial, and one-off collection or delivery services unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.

The phrase man and van Ruxley, van moving service Ruxley, and related variations in this document all refer to the same provider. For the purposes of these terms, the customer is the person or business placing the booking, and the company is the party carrying out the service. The customer must ensure that all information supplied at the time of booking is accurate, complete, and not misleading.

These terms cover the booking process, payment terms, cancellations, liability, waste handling, and governing law. They are designed to support a transparent service relationship and to reduce misunderstandings about scope, timing, access, and responsibilities. If any part of these terms is unclear, the customer should raise it before the service date so that expectations can be confirmed in writing.

Booking Process

Bookings may be requested by telephone, email, online form, or other agreed written method. A booking is only confirmed when the company has accepted the request and, where required, a deposit or advance payment has been received. The company may decline a booking if the requested work is outside the service area, exceeds the available vehicle capacity, presents a safety concern, or cannot reasonably be completed within the agreed timescale.

At the time of booking, the customer must provide all relevant details, including but not limited to the collection and delivery addresses, access conditions, parking restrictions, property type, number of items, approximate volume, heavy or fragile goods, floor levels, and whether assembly or disassembly is required. The company may rely on this information when setting the quotation. If the actual work differs materially from the information supplied, the price and timing may be adjusted.

Quotes are normally based on the information provided at the time of enquiry and may be issued as a fixed price or as an estimated charge subject to final confirmation on the day. A van service Ruxley booking may include loading, transport, unloading, and limited handling assistance, depending on what was agreed. Any additional services, such as waiting time, long carries, extra floors, dismantling, packing materials, or specialist handling, may incur further charges.

Payments

Unless agreed otherwise in writing, payment is due on completion of the service. For certain bookings, a deposit may be required to secure the date and time, and this deposit may be non-refundable where the company has reserved capacity and incurred administrative or scheduling costs. Accepted payment methods may include bank transfer, card payment, or other methods agreed in advance. Cash may be accepted only where expressly permitted.

All prices are quoted in pounds sterling and may be subject to VAT where applicable. The customer is responsible for ensuring that payment is made in full and on time. If payment is not received, the company may suspend future services, retain goods where lawful to do so, or take recovery action for outstanding sums. Any bank charges, chargeback costs, collection fees, or reasonable enforcement costs caused by late or failed payment may be added to the debt where permitted by law.

Changes, Delays, and Cancellations

If the customer needs to amend a booking, they should notify the company as soon as possible. Changes to date, time, addresses, item list, or access arrangements may affect availability and price. The company will try to accommodate reasonable changes, but it cannot guarantee that alterations will be possible at short notice. Where a change significantly increases the workload, the company may revise the quotation or treat the service as a new booking.

The customer may cancel a booking, but cancellation charges may apply depending on the notice given and any costs already incurred. If the customer cancels after the vehicle has been dispatched, after staff have departed, or after loading has begun, a larger charge may be payable to reflect lost time, fuel, labour, and unused capacity. If the company must cancel due to vehicle breakdown, safety concerns, extreme weather, or circumstances outside its control, it will aim to give notice and, where possible, offer an alternative date.

Where a delay is caused by traffic, access issues, customer unavailability, or another event outside the company’s reasonable control, the company will not be liable for consequential loss. The company will use reasonable efforts to keep the customer informed of significant delays. Man with van terms relating to punctuality are based on estimated arrival windows rather than guaranteed exact times unless a specific timed appointment has been expressly agreed in writing.

Customer Responsibilities

The customer must ensure that the premises, items, and access routes are ready for collection or delivery at the agreed time. This includes providing suitable parking where possible, securing permissions if required, and ensuring that items are accessible and safe to move. The customer should remove loose contents from drawers, cabinets, or other containers unless packing has been specifically included in the service.

It is the customer’s responsibility to declare any items that are fragile, valuable, heavy, hazardous, unusually large, or subject to special handling requirements. The company may refuse to move items that are unsafe, illegal, prohibited, or unsuitable for the vehicle or workforce. If the customer fails to provide accurate information and this results in additional effort, risk, or delay, extra charges may apply.

The customer should also ensure that they or an authorised representative are present at both collection and delivery, unless prior written arrangements have been made. The company is entitled to rely on the instructions of the customer or their representative at the time of service. Any instruction to leave goods unattended is at the customer’s own risk and may be refused if the company considers the location or circumstances unsuitable.

The company will take reasonable care when handling goods, but liability is limited as set out below. The company is not responsible for pre-existing damage, wear and tear, concealed defects, or damage caused by inadequate packing, overloading, poor access, or the customer’s failure to provide correct information. Small scuffs, minor marks, or incidental risk associated with normal handling do not automatically constitute a breach of contract.

If the company is found to be legally liable for loss or damage, its liability will be limited to the direct loss actually suffered and, where permitted by law, to the value of the affected item or the service charge paid, whichever is lower, unless otherwise agreed in writing. The company will not be liable for indirect or consequential losses, including loss of profit, business interruption, missed deadlines, emotional distress, or replacement hire costs unless required by law.

Any claim for damage or loss should be raised as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within a reasonable time after discovery. The customer should provide clear details, photographs if available, and evidence of value or condition. The company may require an inspection before any settlement is discussed. No admission of liability will be made until the facts have been reviewed, and nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under UK law.

Waste, Disposal, and Regulatory Compliance

Where the service involves removal of waste, unwanted items, or debris, the customer must ensure that the materials are described accurately and lawfully. The company will only transport and dispose of waste in accordance with applicable UK waste legislation, duty of care requirements, and relevant environmental rules. The customer must not present controlled, hazardous, clinical, chemical, asbestos-containing, or other prohibited waste unless the company has expressly agreed and is appropriately licensed to handle it.

Any waste collected as part of a man and van service must be segregated and handled lawfully. The customer is responsible for declaring whether the items are reusable, recyclable, general waste, or require special treatment. If waste is incorrectly described or contains prohibited materials, the company may refuse to carry it, may return it to the customer, or may charge for additional handling, segregation, storage, or lawful disposal. The customer may also be responsible for any fines, costs, or enforcement action arising from inaccurate declarations.

The company may ask for evidence that waste disposal is lawful and may use authorised facilities or subcontracted facilities where appropriate. The customer acknowledges that the company does not provide a service for fly-tipping, illegal dumping, or unlicensed waste removal. Any attempt to use the service for unlawful disposal is strictly prohibited and will be treated as a material breach of contract. This provision is central to the safe and lawful operation of any van and man hire arrangement involving rubbish or unwanted items.

Insurance, Prohibited Items, and Service Limits

The company may maintain insurance appropriate to the nature of its operations, but insurance does not remove the customer’s responsibilities under these terms. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the service does not include comprehensive insurance for the full replacement value of every item. Customers moving high-value goods should arrange their own cover if needed. The company may require a written declaration for items of exceptional value, delicate condition, or unusual risk.

Prohibited items may include, without limitation, firearms, illegal substances, explosives, live animals, perishable goods, unauthorised waste, and any item the company believes may pose a hazard to staff, the public, or property. The company may also decline to move items that are unstable, leaking, poorly packed, or likely to cause contamination or damage. If prohibited items are concealed within other goods, the customer remains responsible for any resulting loss, delay, or legal consequence.

The company reserves the right to stop work where conditions become unsafe, abusive, unlawful, or materially different from those agreed. If service is suspended because of customer conduct, unsafe premises, or failure to meet the agreed conditions, the customer may remain liable for the full or partial charge. The company may also charge for time spent waiting, reattempts, or returning goods where that becomes necessary.

General Legal Provisions

These Terms and Conditions form the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the services described, unless changed in writing by both parties. If any provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. A failure by the company to enforce any part of these terms on one occasion does not waive its right to enforce the same or any other term later.

Nothing in these terms creates a partnership, employment relationship, or agency arrangement between the company and the customer. The customer may not assign or transfer rights under the booking without prior written consent. The company may subcontract part of the service where reasonable to do so, provided that this does not materially reduce the standard of service agreed.

These terms may be updated from time to time. The version in force at the time of booking will normally apply to that booking unless a later written amendment is agreed. Customers are encouraged to read the terms carefully before confirming a reservation for any Ruxley van moving or transport service.

Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from or connected with the services, the booking process, payment, liability, waste handling, or these terms generally shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. If the customer is based elsewhere in the United Kingdom, this governing law provision still applies unless mandatory consumer law requires otherwise.

The company aims to resolve concerns fairly and efficiently, but if a dispute cannot be settled informally, the parties agree to rely on the courts of England and Wales for final determination. This clause does not affect any statutory rights that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. By proceeding with a booking, the customer confirms acceptance of this legal framework and the obligations described throughout these terms.
