Terms and Conditions for Tufnell Park Man And Van
These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Tufnell Park Man And Van provides removals, transportation, loading, unloading, and related moving services within the United Kingdom. By making a booking, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms, which are designed to create a clear and fair service agreement between the customer and the provider. These terms apply to all bookings unless otherwise agreed in writing.
For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, the expressions “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the service provider operating under the Tufnell Park Man And Van name, and “you” or “the customer” refers to the individual or organisation requesting the service. The man and van service may include domestic moves, single-item transport, furniture delivery, collection work, and light commercial relocations, depending on availability and the scope confirmed at booking.
Any quotation, estimate, or price indication provided before a booking is confirmed is based on the information supplied by the customer. If the details change, the final price may also change. The customer is responsible for ensuring that all information given at the time of booking is accurate and complete. This includes access conditions, item sizes, parking limitations, floor levels, and any special handling requirements.
Bookings for the Tufnell Park Man And Van service may be made by phone, email, online form, or any other method we make available from time to time. A booking is not confirmed until we have accepted it and, where required, received any deposit or advance payment. We reserve the right to decline a booking where the required service cannot be safely or reasonably carried out.
When making a booking, you must provide sufficient details for us to assess the work. This includes the collection and delivery addresses, preferred date and time, a description of the items, any packing or dismantling needs, and whether stairs, lifts, long carries, or restricted access are involved. The accuracy of this information is essential to the efficient planning of the service.
If the customer requests additional services after the booking has been confirmed, such as extra labour, waiting time, assembly, or a second collection point, we may revise the quotation. Any variation agreed during the job may also affect the final charge. The customer accepts that a man and van hire arrangement is based on the scope agreed, and changes may require extra time, staff, or vehicle capacity.
Payments must be made in the manner and within the time period agreed at booking. Unless stated otherwise, payment is due on completion of the service or in advance where a deposit has been requested. We may accept card payment, bank transfer, cash, or another method approved in advance. Any transaction fees charged by third-party payment providers may be passed on where permitted.
All prices are stated in pounds sterling unless otherwise specified. Quotes may be based on hourly rates, fixed prices, minimum charges, or a combination of these depending on the nature of the job. Waiting time, congestion, parking penalties caused by customer-provided instructions, and unforeseen delays outside our control may be charged in addition to the original estimate, where reasonable and lawful.
If payment is not received when due, we may suspend further services, retain goods lawfully where applicable, or charge interest on overdue sums at the statutory rate allowed under UK law. The customer is responsible for all amounts payable under the booking, including agreed extras. In the case of business customers, invoices should be paid by the due date shown on the invoice.
Cancellations should be made as early as possible. If you cancel a booking more than a reasonable period before the scheduled start time, any deposit may be refundable, subject to deductions for unrecoverable costs or administrative fees where applicable. The exact cancellation outcome may depend on how much notice is given and whether work has already been reserved or commenced.
If you cancel with short notice, or if our team arrives at the agreed time and cannot proceed because access is unavailable, the address is incorrect, the goods are not ready, or the customer is absent, a cancellation or wasted journey charge may apply. This charge reflects the time, fuel, and scheduling loss incurred. A Tufnell Park removal service slot is reserved for you, and late changes can prevent us from offering the appointment to another customer.
We may cancel or reschedule a booking if circumstances beyond our control make performance impossible or unsafe. These circumstances may include severe weather, vehicle breakdown, road closures, staff illness, strikes, accidents, or legal restrictions. Where possible, we will give notice and offer an alternative date or time. We are not liable for losses caused by such events beyond the remedies required by law.
Our liability is limited to direct losses arising from our proven negligence or breach of contract, and only to the extent permitted by law. We are not responsible for indirect, consequential, or purely financial losses, including loss of profit, loss of opportunity, or business interruption, unless liability cannot be excluded by law. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other matter that cannot legally be limited.
Customers must ensure that goods are properly packed, labelled, and suitable for transport unless packing has been expressly included in the service. We are not liable for damage caused by items that are inadequately packed, structurally weak, already defective, or unsuitable for movement. Delicate items, antiques, electrical goods, mirrors, glass, and high-value possessions should be declared in advance so that appropriate precautions can be taken.
Where we carry out loading and unloading, our team will use reasonable care and skill. However, liability for damage to furniture or property may be reduced if access is tight, the customer instructs us to move items in a way that increases risk, or items must be moved in circumstances where normal handling is difficult. The customer should identify any particularly heavy, awkward, or hazardous items before the move begins. A van and man service does not guarantee the safe transport of items that are unstable, illegal, or not properly prepared.
Waste removal or disposal services, where offered, are subject to UK waste management laws and regulations. We only remove, carry, or dispose of waste that has been agreed in advance and lawfully accepted for collection. The customer must disclose the type of waste, its quantity, and whether it includes household waste, green waste, bulky waste, electrical items, or materials requiring special handling.
We do not accept waste that is hazardous, contaminated, illegal, or prohibited by law unless we have expressly agreed in writing and hold the appropriate permissions to do so. This includes, but is not limited to, asbestos, clinical waste, chemicals, solvents, fuel, gas cylinders, and certain electronic or electrical items where special controls apply. If undeclared prohibited waste is presented, we may refuse collection and charge for wasted time or disposal-related costs incurred.
The customer remains responsible for ensuring that any waste handed over for removal is lawfully owned and may be disposed of. Where a waste transfer note, consignment note, or similar document is required, the customer must provide accurate information and cooperate with the process. We may ask for evidence of the source, nature, and classification of the waste in order to comply with legal obligations and to maintain proper records.
Customers must ensure that goods, waste, or materials handed to us do not contain prohibited contents, hidden dangerous items, or personal data that should be securely destroyed before collection. We accept no responsibility for losses arising from the customer’s failure to remove confidential documents, valuables, keys, passwords, or sensitive records from items being moved or disposed of. If the customer leaves items in storage, drawers, or appliances, it is their duty to check contents beforehand.
Any complaint about the service should be raised as soon as reasonably possible after the issue occurs so that we can investigate promptly. We may request photographs, descriptions, or other evidence. Failure to report a problem within a reasonable time may limit our ability to assess the matter fairly. This does not reduce rights that cannot be excluded under UK consumer law. Our aim is always to resolve issues in a practical and lawful manner.
We reserve the right to refuse or discontinue a job if the working environment is unsafe, abusive, unlawful, or materially different from what was described at booking. This includes situations where the item count is substantially higher than stated, the access route is blocked, or the load exceeds the agreed weight or volume. If work is stopped for these reasons, the customer may still be charged for time spent and costs already incurred.
Any personal data collected in connection with a booking will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection law and used only for legitimate business purposes such as quotation, scheduling, invoicing, and service administration. We will not share personal information except where necessary to perform the service, meet legal obligations, or support payment processing and accounting activities.
These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The parties agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer protection rules require otherwise. If any part of these terms is found unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force.
By proceeding with a booking for Tufnell Park Man And Van, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these Terms and Conditions. You also confirm that you are authorised to agree to the service on behalf of yourself or the person for whom the booking is made. These terms form the basis of the contract for the provision of the service and apply alongside any specific written agreement relating to the job.
