Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the “Agreement”), dated 08/31/2022, are entered into between CUSTOMER (the “Customer” or “you”) and More Than Freights, LLC (the “Delivery Company”), an Oregon limited liability company. The parties hereby agree as follows:

 

Services – Delivery Company shall provide furniture delivery, assembly, removal, donation, and moving services (collectively, the “Services”) for the Goods (as defined below). The price for the Services (the “Charges”) is quoted on this form, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Customer and the Delivery Company, and relies solely on the information provided by the Customer. Any inconsistency with the true information could vary the price of the requested Services. If any payment is made at the time of filling out this form and the final price increases, our team will contact you to request payment of the balance before performing the Services.

 

Goods – Customer shall provide on this form an accurate list of items subject to the Services (the “Goods”), including quantity and type or types of item(s), as well as a corresponding invoice or order number. Under no circumstances will Delivery Company provide Services for goods that do not conform to the description on this form, or that are otherwise classified as hazardous chemicals, volatile, toxic, or similar. Delivery Company reserves the right to reject to provide Services for the Goods in their sole discretion.

 

Payment of Charges – Payment of the Charges is required no later than two (2) days in advance of the scheduled Services. The Charges are exclusive of all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any governmental authority on any amounts payable by Customer.

 

Delivery

 

A responsible party (minimum of 18 years old) must be present to accept and sign on behalf of Customer for any Services related to the Goods. Delivery Company accepts no responsibility for verifying the identity of the responsible party at the Customer’s address.

 

Delivery Company relies on the information and details provided by Customer. Customer hereby acknowledges that the failure of the Customer to provide accurate information and details such as phone number, name, delivery address, missing apartment or unit number, description of the Goods, and any other necessary information needed by Delivery Company to accurately charge for and provide the Services may cause the final Charges to vary. Furthermore, Delivery Company is released of any liability under this Agreement for claims arising from Delivery Company’s reliance on inaccurate information provided by Customer.

 

Customer hereby acknowledges that it is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that the Goods subject to the Services fit into the home and can be safely delivered to the location of choice. If upon arrival by the Delivery Company the Goods do not fit, Delivery Company is released of any obligation to complete the Service, and no refund will be issued to Customer.

 

Delivery Company will assess, in its sole discretion, whether the Goods can be delivered safely. If the Delivery Company determines there is a high risk of damaging the property and/or the Goods, they will inform the Customer. If the Customer still wants the Delivery Company to attempt delivery, the Customer will be required to sign a Release Form that releases Delivery Company from any liability for such attempt. If the Delivery Company determines that the Goods cannot be delivered safely, Delivery Company is released of any obligation to complete the Service, no refund will be issued to Customer, and the delivery will be cancelled.

 

Please contact us 48 hours prior to the established delivery time to cancel or reschedule the Services. If you are not home at the scheduled delivery time and/or did not cancel within the 48 hour time frame, you are still responsible for the Charges, and we reserve the right to charge you again for re-delivery.

 

Upon completing the Services, Delivery Company will take pictures of the Goods and request that the Customer (or a responsible party) sign a delivery receipt accepting delivery and acknowledging that the Services were performed successfully, with no damage to the premises or the Goods.

 

Loss or Damage

 

Delivery Company shall be liable as a motor carrier for and shall be responsible to Customer for loss or damage to the Goods that occurs during the performance of the Services under this Agreement, unless the loss or damage is due to forces outside of Delivery Company’s control. Delivery Company’s liability will commence when Delivery Company takes physical possession and control of Goods and will end when Customer and/or a responsible party signs the delivery receipt without notation of damage. Customer hereby expressly releases Delivery Company from any liability for loss or damage to the Goods that occurred when the Goods were not in Delivery Company’s possession.

 

In the event of any loss or damage, Customer must make a claim for such loss or damage within two (2) days. Claims for damage will not be accepted for any items made of fragile materials, including but not limited to glass, mirrors, marble, ceramic, or tile, or for carpets and/or rugs. It will be the responsibility of Delivery Company to investigate and settle all claims with Customer within 30 days from date the claim was made. In the case of loss or non-delivery, Customer will make every effort to file claims with Delivery Company five (5) days from the date on which Customer is notified of such loss. To the extent Delivery Company is responsible for any damage, Customer will not be charged for any freight or home delivery fees for replacement merchandise. In addition, if Delivery Company is responsible for damage to an order and attempts to fix that damage, but the Customer refuses to accept the repaired item(s), Delivery Company shall be responsible for approving the claim for the replacement item.
