Terms and Conditions for Man With A Van Hollandpark

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Man With A Van Hollandpark provides removals, transport, and associated moving services within the UK. By making a booking, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms, which are intended to create a clear understanding of the responsibilities of both parties. For the purposes of these terms, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the service provider, and “you” or “the customer” mean the person or business requesting the service. These conditions apply to all standard moving work, including household moves, furniture transport, light commercial jobs, and related loading or unloading assistance.

Our service is designed to be practical, efficient, and professionally managed. A booking with Man and Van Hollandpark may include one or more vehicles, one or more team members, and extra handling support depending on the nature of the job. The exact scope of service will always depend on the details agreed at the time of booking. Where there is any inconsistency between an estimate and a confirmed booking, the confirmed booking details will take priority unless both parties agree otherwise in writing.

By requesting a quote or confirming a reservation, you acknowledge that the information you provide is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge. This includes details about the size and quantity of items, access conditions, parking arrangements, loading restrictions, stair access, lift availability, and any items requiring special handling. If the information supplied is incorrect or incomplete, we may revise the price, timing, vehicle size, crew size, or service plan to reflect the actual requirements.

Booking Process

All bookings for Man With A Van Hollandpark service must be made through the agreed booking method and are only confirmed once we have accepted the request. A quote may be based on hourly rates, fixed pricing, or a combination of both, depending on the nature of the work. Any estimate provided before confirmation is not a final commitment unless explicitly stated as fixed and confirmed in writing. We reserve the right to decline a booking where the requested service is unsuitable, unsafe, unlawful, or beyond the resources available at the requested time.

When booking, you must provide accurate information about the collection and delivery addresses, access times, floor levels, parking conditions, item list, and any special requirements. If the move involves heavy, fragile, valuable, oversized, or restricted items, you must inform us in advance. We may ask for photographs, measurements, or further details before accepting the work. If access is difficult, additional waiting time, labour, or vehicle support may be required and may affect the final charge.

Bookings are subject to availability and may be dependent on traffic conditions, road restrictions, weather, and operational limits. While we aim to attend at the agreed time, arrival windows are estimates rather than guarantees unless specifically agreed otherwise. If we are delayed by factors outside our reasonable control, we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible. Where a change to the job is requested after confirmation, we may adjust the quotation or reschedule the service.

Payments and Charges

Payment terms for Man With A Van Hollandpark services will be confirmed at the time of booking or in the quotation. Unless agreed otherwise, payment is due immediately upon completion of the service. We may request a deposit, advance payment, or card verification to secure certain bookings, especially for larger jobs, urgent work, weekend appointments, or services requiring multiple staff members. Any deposit paid may be non-refundable except where cancellation is made by us or where mandatory consumer rights apply.

All charges are based on the information provided and may include labour time, vehicle time, mileage, waiting time, congestion or parking costs where applicable, and any additional handling requested on the day. Extra charges may apply if the job differs from the original description, if the move takes longer than estimated due to access issues, or if additional items are presented for transport without prior notice. We reserve the right to amend the price where the actual job materially differs from the booked job.

Unless stated otherwise, prices are exclusive of any third-party charges, permits, parking penalties caused by customer instructions, or disposal fees. You are responsible for ensuring that payment can be made using the agreed method. If payment is not made on time, we may charge reasonable recovery costs and interest to the extent permitted by law. The customer also agrees that goods may be retained only to the extent legally allowed until outstanding sums are paid in full.

Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Waiting Time

You may cancel or reschedule a booking for Man With A Van Hollandpark services by giving reasonable notice. The amount of notice required may vary according to the booking type, but the closer the cancellation is to the scheduled time, the more likely a fee will apply. If you cancel after we have begun travel to the collection point or after staff have been allocated, we may charge for time already committed, fuel, and reasonable administrative costs.

If you are unable to provide access on arrival, are not present at the agreed time, or the job cannot proceed due to incomplete preparation, we may treat the booking as a late cancellation or a wasted attendance. Waiting time may be charged if we are required to remain on site beyond the agreed period due to customer delay, access problems, or late readiness of items. Any request to reschedule is subject to availability and may involve revised pricing if the date, time, or scope of work changes.

We may cancel or postpone a booking if safety concerns arise, if the customer fails to provide essential information, if payment arrangements are not satisfied, or if circumstances beyond our control make performance impossible or unreasonable. These circumstances may include severe weather, vehicle breakdown, road closures, accident, illness, or other operational disruptions. In such cases, we will make reasonable efforts to offer an alternative appointment or refund any unused prepaid amount, subject to deductions for work already completed where lawful.

Customer Responsibilities

You must ensure that all items to be moved are properly packed, labelled, and ready for loading unless packing or dismantling has been included as part of the service. Where you ask us to move items of special value or sensitivity, you must tell us before the job starts. This includes antiques, artwork, glass, computers, musical instruments, electrical goods, and items with sentimental value. We may refuse to move items that are unsafe, unstable, contaminated, unlawfully held, or likely to cause damage to our vehicle, staff, or other property.

It is your responsibility to check that access routes are suitable, parking is available, and permissions are obtained where necessary. If the move involves a building with access restrictions, we may rely on your instructions regarding permitted stopping locations, lift use, security procedures, or timing restrictions. If any delay or additional cost results from incorrect access information, you agree to pay the extra amount reasonably incurred. You must also ensure that all items being transported are legally owned by you or are being moved with the owner’s consent.

You agree to provide a safe working environment for our team. This means warning us about hazards such as loose flooring, low ceilings, slippery surfaces, exposed wiring, dangerous animals, or hazardous substances. We may stop work if we believe that continuing would create an unacceptable risk. In such cases, we may still charge for time spent on site or for travel, where appropriate and lawful.

Liability and Damage

We take reasonable care when handling goods as part of the Man and Van Hollandpark service, but liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. We are not responsible for pre-existing damage, wear and tear, poor packaging, or damage caused by fragile items that were not declared as such before transport. Customers should ensure that items are suitably protected, especially when self-packed. Unless we have expressly agreed to pack items ourselves, we cannot be liable for damage arising from inadequate packing or unsuitable containers.

We are not liable for loss or damage arising from events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to traffic delays, road incidents, adverse weather, police direction, acts of third parties, or force majeure events. We also are not liable for indirect or consequential losses such as missed deadlines, loss of business, emotional distress, loss of profit, or loss of opportunity, except where such exclusion is prohibited by law. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded.

If you believe that any item has been damaged or lost during the move, you must notify us as soon as reasonably possible and provide evidence supporting the claim. We may ask for photographs, purchase evidence, repair quotes, or inventory records. Any claim will be assessed fairly and in line with applicable law. Where liability is established, our responsibility may be limited to repair, replacement, or a refund up to the amount paid for the affected service, subject to any mandatory statutory rights.

Waste Regulations and Prohibited Items

Any disposal or clearance work carried out by Man With A Van Hollandpark must comply with applicable UK waste regulations. We only remove waste or unwanted items where this has been agreed in advance and where the material is lawful to collect, carry, and dispose of. The customer must accurately describe any waste before collection, including whether it contains mixed materials, electrical items, upholstered furniture, garden waste, construction debris, or items that may require special handling.

You must not hand over hazardous, toxic, explosive, corrosive, infectious, or illegally held items unless we have specifically agreed to handle them and are legally permitted to do so. This includes gas bottles, fuel, chemicals, asbestos, paint in large quantities, clinical waste, medical sharps, and any controlled or restricted substances. We reserve the right to refuse any waste that is unsafe, non-compliant, or likely to breach environmental obligations. If prohibited items are presented without prior disclosure, we may refuse the collection and charge for any wasted attendance.

Where waste collection is accepted, the customer confirms that the waste is owned by them or that they are authorised to arrange its removal. You also agree to cooperate with any lawful documentation requirements, including item descriptions or transfer records where applicable. We may use licensed disposal facilities or authorised third-party handlers as required. Any attempt by the customer to misdescribe waste, conceal prohibited materials, or request unlawful disposal will be treated as a serious breach of these terms.

Service Standards, Delays, and Force Majeure

We aim to deliver a professional and careful van and man service, but the timing and sequence of operations may need to be adjusted to fit the realities of loading, transport, and delivery. We will use reasonable skill and care in carrying out the work, including safe lifting, handling, and securing of goods. However, the customer understands that moving services are operational in nature and may be affected by unforeseen factors such as parking availability, road conditions, and building access.

If a delay occurs, we will use reasonable efforts to minimise disruption and keep you informed. In the event that our performance is affected by events outside our control, we will not be deemed in breach of contract for the period during which those events continue, provided we act reasonably in response. Examples include severe weather, strikes, civil disturbances, government restrictions, epidemic-related disruptions, vehicle failure, or any similar event that prevents normal operation.

Where performance is suspended or materially altered because of such events, the booking may be rearranged or cancelled without liability for further compensation, except as required by law. If we have already performed part of the service before the event occurs, you may still be charged for the completed portion. Both parties agree to act reasonably and in good faith when resolving any operational disruption.

Governing Law and General Terms

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with a booking, quotation, or service provided by Man With A Van Hollandpark will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless mandatory consumer law provides otherwise. If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in law, business practices, or service requirements. The version in force at the time of your booking will apply unless a newer version has been agreed in writing. No waiver of any breach shall be treated as a waiver of any later breach. A failure to exercise any right under these terms does not mean that right has been abandoned.

By proceeding with a booking, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these terms. The customer is encouraged to review the scope of service carefully before confirming any arrangement. These terms are intended to be fair and transparent, ensuring that both the customer and Man With A Van Hollandpark service have a clear framework for booking, payment, cancellation, liability, waste handling, and legal compliance.
