Terms and Conditions for Man With Van Mayfair

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Man With Van Mayfair provides removals, transport, loading, unloading, and related moving services within the United Kingdom. By making a booking, the customer agrees to these terms, which are designed to be clear, fair, and practical. They apply to all domestic and commercial customers unless otherwise agreed in writing. In these terms, references to ???we??�, ???us??�, and ???our??� mean the service provider, while ???you??� means the customer placing the booking.

These terms are intended to protect both parties by setting expectations for the moving service, the booking process, payment arrangements, cancellation rights, liability limits, and waste handling obligations. If any part of these terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights under UK law.

The wording below should be read together with any written quotation, booking confirmation, or service notes issued before the move. If there is any inconsistency between the booking confirmation and these terms, the booking confirmation will normally take priority for that particular job, provided it does not conflict with applicable law. By proceeding with a reservation for van and man services in Mayfair or a similar transport arrangement, you confirm that you have read and accepted these conditions.

Booking Process

A booking is only accepted when we have confirmed availability and issued a written or electronic confirmation. Requests made by phone, email, online form, or message are treated as enquiries until confirmed. The customer must provide accurate details, including the collection and delivery addresses, property access information, estimated volume of items, parking restrictions, floor levels, and any items requiring special handling. Incorrect or incomplete information may affect the price, timing, equipment required, and ability to complete the job.

At the time of booking, we may request a deposit or full payment in advance depending on the nature of the job, the scheduled date, and the level of risk involved. We reserve the right to refuse a booking where the vehicle size, crew size, timing, or access conditions are unsuitable. For the avoidance of doubt, a booking becomes binding only when we have accepted it and you have agreed to the quotation and these conditions. Any additional work requested on the day may be charged separately.

The customer is responsible for ensuring that all items to be moved are ready by the agreed time and that the premises are accessible. If delays occur because of missing information, restricted access, parking issues, building rules, lift outages, or other circumstances outside our control, waiting time and additional labour may be charged. For Man With Van Mayfair bookings, we may need to adjust the operational plan if the actual load differs materially from the description provided at the time of booking.

Payments

Unless stated otherwise, all prices are quoted in pounds sterling and may be subject to VAT where applicable. Payment terms will be stated on the quotation or invoice. We may accept bank transfer, debit card, credit card, or other agreed methods, but cash acceptance is at our discretion. Payment is normally due immediately upon completion of the service unless a different arrangement has been confirmed in writing. For certain larger or time-sensitive moves, an advance payment may be required.

Any invoice not paid by the due date may incur late payment charges and reasonable recovery costs, where permitted by law. If payment is not received, we may withhold delivery, retain goods to the extent allowed by law, or suspend future services. The customer remains responsible for all charges arising from inaccurate job details, extra waiting time, congestion, tolls, parking penalties caused by the customer???s instructions or omissions, and any additional assistance requested on site. Discounts or promotional rates apply only where expressly stated and may be withdrawn if booking conditions are not met.

Prices are based on the information supplied before the move. If the actual service differs from the quotation due to changes in scope, access, distance, packing requirements, or item count, we may revise the price before or during the job. We will act reasonably and, where practical, explain any increase before proceeding. Use of our Mayfair van service does not guarantee a fixed price if the booking details supplied were materially inaccurate.

Cancellations and Rescheduling

Cancellation requests must be made as soon as possible and will be effective only once acknowledged by us. Because moving work involves reserved time, staffing, and vehicle allocation, cancellation charges may apply. The amount charged will depend on how much notice is given and whether preparatory work has already been carried out. If you cancel after the crew has been dispatched or arrived, you may be charged in full or for a substantial portion of the booked service.

If you need to change the date or time, we will try to accommodate the request subject to availability. Rescheduling is not guaranteed and may be treated as a cancellation followed by a new booking. Where we are unable to complete the service because of your failure to provide access, because you are not ready, or because the premises are unsafe, we may charge a call-out fee, waiting time, or the full booked amount where appropriate. Man With Van Mayfair may also cancel or reschedule if weather, traffic disruption, vehicle failure, or other events outside our reasonable control make performance impractical.

Liability and Damage

We will take reasonable care when handling your belongings and property, but our liability is limited in accordance with these terms and applicable law. You are responsible for ensuring that items are properly packed, labelled, and suitable for transport unless packing has been included in the service. We are not liable for damage caused by pre-existing weakness, poor packing, hidden defects, or items that are fragile, valuable, antique, or unusually heavy unless such risk was expressly declared and agreed in advance.

If we are responsible for loss or damage, our liability will normally be limited to the lower of the repair cost, replacement cost, or any applicable insurance coverage and will not exceed the amount paid for the relevant service unless otherwise required by law. We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded. Claims for damage must be reported promptly and in any event within a reasonable time after the service has ended, with supporting evidence where possible.

We are not responsible for loss of profit, business interruption, loss of opportunity, or indirect and consequential losses. Where goods are moved on behalf of a business customer, any special requirement for high-value or sensitive items must be disclosed in advance. If you request us to dismantle, assemble, disconnect, or reconnect items, this is done at your risk unless specifically included in the booking and carried out with reasonable care. Customers should retain copies of essential documents, data, and passwords before the move.

Access, Safety, and Customer Responsibilities

You must ensure that the collection and delivery locations are safe, lawful, and suitable for the service. This includes providing truthful information about stairs, narrow entrances, lifts, parking limitations, permit requirements, and any hazards. You are also responsible for securing pets, protecting floors where necessary, and arranging access for us at the agreed time. Our team may refuse to move items that are unsafe, illegal, contaminated, or likely to cause harm to people or property.

If the job involves unusually heavy, awkward, or oversized items, you must tell us in advance. We may refuse to move items that cannot be handled safely with the available equipment or crew. We may also stop work if conditions become unsafe, including where there is aggression, violence, harassment, intoxication, or a serious health and safety concern. In such circumstances, full or partial charges may still apply if work has already begun.

Waste Regulations and Disposal

Any removal or disposal service is subject to UK waste law, including rules on controlled waste, duty of care, and lawful transfer of waste. We will only remove waste or unwanted items if this has been agreed in advance and the materials are lawful to transport and dispose of. You must describe any waste accurately and must not include hazardous, clinical, chemical, asbestos-containing, or other prohibited materials unless we have expressly confirmed in writing that we are authorised and equipped to handle them.

Where waste is collected, you remain responsible for ensuring that it is correctly identified and that you have the right to transfer it. We may ask for written confirmation of the waste type, quantity, and source. If you fail to disclose restricted materials and we incur additional disposal costs, regulatory issues, or penalties, you will be responsible for those costs. We reserve the right to refuse collection where waste is misdescribed, unsafe, or not suitable for lawful disposal. Any household removals in Mayfair that include unwanted items must comply with these obligations.

Waste transfer notes, receipts, or other compliance records may be issued where appropriate. You agree not to place prohibited materials in the vehicle or leave them in a way that breaches environmental rules. If we suspect an item may be hazardous or unlawful to transport, we may decline to handle it. We are not liable for fines, enforcement action, or cleanup costs arising from false information provided by the customer.

Nothing in these terms allows either party to act unlawfully under environmental protection legislation, duty of care rules, or local authority requirements. Customers should understand that disposal is separate from transport and may require additional charges based on weight, volume, sorting, or specialist handling. We will act reasonably and in good faith when dealing with lawful waste requests.

Insurance

We may hold insurance for public liability and, where applicable, goods in transit cover. Any insurance details provided are subject to the policy wording, exclusions, and claim procedures. The existence of insurance does not create a wider liability than stated in these terms. You must notify us immediately of any incident or suspected loss and cooperate fully with any investigation, including by supplying photographs, inventories, and proof of value if requested.

Customers are encouraged to arrange their own insurance where they wish to cover items of unusually high value or items not adequately protected by standard cover. We are not responsible for insurance shortfalls caused by the customer???s failure to disclose value, fragility, or special handling needs. This is particularly relevant for Man With Van Mayfair services where mixed domestic, office, or storage items may be moved in a single booking.

Delays, Force Majeure, and Termination

We are not liable for delays or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including severe weather, accidents, road closures, traffic disruption, industrial action, fire, flood, acts of terrorism, government restrictions, or vehicle breakdown. In such cases, we will try to resume or rearrange the service within a reasonable time. If performance becomes impossible, either party may terminate the booking without liability for further non-performance, although charges already incurred may still apply.

We may terminate or suspend services if you breach these terms, provide misleading information, fail to pay, or behave in a threatening or unlawful manner. If termination is necessary, you must pay for the work completed and any reasonable costs already incurred. We may also refuse future bookings where a serious breach has occurred.

General Terms

These terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the booked service and replace prior discussions or representations, except for statements made fraudulently or otherwise prohibited by law. No person other than the customer and us has any right to enforce these terms under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. Any failure or delay by us in enforcing a right will not waive that right.

We may update these terms from time to time. The version in force at the time of booking will normally apply to that booking. If the customer is acting on behalf of a company, partnership, or other organisation, that customer confirms they have authority to bind that entity. Where the service includes a van and mover service in Mayfair, the same obligations apply regardless of whether the move is residential, office-based, or mixed-use.

Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions 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 to settle any dispute arising from or connected with the service, unless the law requires otherwise. If you are a consumer, you may also have rights under mandatory consumer protection legislation that cannot be limited by these terms.

By booking with Man With Van Mayfair, you confirm that the information you have provided is accurate and that you understand these terms. We aim to provide a reliable, professional, and transparent service while ensuring compliance with transport, consumer, and waste handling obligations. If you choose to proceed, these conditions will apply to the full extent permitted by law.
