  • Despite anything to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by law, You are liable for, and agree to make good and indemnify Us and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless in respect of, any Liability that the Indemnified Parties may suffer, incur or otherwise become liable for, arising from or in connection with:

                                                                               acts or omissions of You or Your employees, contractors, suppliers,                                                                                       subcontractors, associates or agents; or

any information, documentation, specifications or directions given by You or Y                                                                            our employees, contractors, suppliers, subcontractors, associates or agents.

  • Commercial Removals and Storage. If the Services are required by You for the purposes of a business, trade, profession or occupation in which You are engaged, We will only be liable for the proportion to which the loss or damage to the Goods is caused by or contributed to by Our negligence (excluding the negligence of any Subcontractor, Third Party Removalist or Third Party Provider), and in any event that Liability will be limited to $100 per item or package, or $1,000 in respect of all Goods moved or stored under this Agreement (whichever is the lesser). We will be liable for: any loss or damage occurring in the course of the provision of Ancillary Services by a Third Party Provider; any loss or damage occurring in the course of the provision of Services by a Third Party Removalist; any loss or damage or any delay which results from any cause beyond Our control; loss or damage resulting from inadequate or improper packing or unpacking unless the Goods damaged or causing damage were both packed and unpacked by Us; loss or damage to jewellery, watches, money or negotiable instruments; or electrical or mechanical derangement to Goods. Under no circumstances will We be responsible for any loss or damage involving the restoration or reconstruction of information or data or any item of so-called consequential loss.
  • Notification of Loss or Damage. You must report any damage to the Goods or (third party) property before completion. As the existing condition of the Goods are subject to verbal agreement You must inspect all the Goods as they are unloaded and/or relocated and any damage considered to have been caused by Us must be made in writing before we leave the premises. No claims will be accepted for any damage discovered after We have left the move. Any issues or damages claimed after the crew have left the premises will be void as insurance does not take into account claims made ‘after the fact’ meaning that once we leave the premises, we are not liable for damages incurred. If damages are sustained on the job, please note that full payment is still required, we will then provide you with the options of repair or initiating a claim. We will not initiate an insurance claim or provide reasonable compensation if the payment is not made in full.
  • Repair Damage. If We are liable to do so under this Agreement or by law, We will repair damaged Goods to as near as possible to the condition prior to the damage occurring and these repairs will be arranged by Us, by a qualified and reputable repairer. No responsibility is accepted for any other losses whatsoever including any consequential loss or loss of value as a result of the repairs.
  • Please note the following definitions:

                                                                               Accidental Damage – damage to goods moved or scratches & dents to walls of                                                                           any of the properties involved in the move.

                                                                               Property & Public Liability Damage – serious property damage beyond                                                                                scratches & dents or the injury or death of persons resulting from the move.

Please note that the following EXCEPTIONS apply and are not covered under Accidental Damage;

– TV’s not packed in their original box

– Boxes and the contents of boxes not packed by a Rocky Removals packer

– Stone, Granite, composite or similar items

– Pot plants

– Items with internal faults or that are inherently fragile

– Front load washers without transit bolts in place

– Furniture designed to be flat packed or made of pressed wood such as those                                                                                                  commonly sold by Ikea, Fantastic Furniture or similar retailers. These                                                                                                  items are inherently susceptible to suffer damage or disorder no matter how                                                                                                  carefully we move them. We recommend disassembly of such items before                                                                                                  moving to reduce risk.

– Any case where the customer refuses our recommendation as to the safest way                                                                                         of moving an item.

 

With all of the above exceptions, we can still move the items at your own risk and will endeavour to minimise risk by taking relevant precautions such as the use of heavy-duty blankets padding to offer maximum protection.

  • Option to Compensate. In lieu of repairing Goods, We have the option to compensate You to the value of the damaged Goods prior to the damage occurring, this means what the item would have been worth on the market on the day of the move prior to the damage occurring. Our policy is not a ‘New for Old Policy’ and We cannot take sentimental value into account. Please take this into account when considering if You should take out Your own insurance policy as new for old policies are available to the public. If that value cannot be agreed on between Us and You, it shall be assessed by an independent valuer chosen between Us and You and if We cannot agree, chosen by the president for the time being of the Law Institute of Queensland (or any replacement body). The cost of the valuer shall be borne by the Party whose value differs most from the valuer’s.
  • Vehicle Damaged. In the event that damage to Goods arises from the transport vehicle being damaged by flood, fire, collision or overturning and We are compensated by Our insurer for the damage to Your Goods, Your compensation will be limited by the amount of Our insurance payment.
  • Sets. Where an item is part of a pair, set, suite or collection of items, repair or compensation shall extend only to the proportionate part of the pair, set, suite or collection of items, regardless of any special value the damaged or lost part may have as part of such pair, set, suite or collection of items.
  • This above clause 013 shall survive the expiry or termination of this Agreement.

 

  1. Liability for Loss or Damage Other than Goods

Because Third Party Providers or others are frequently present at the time of collection or delivery it is not always possible to establish who was responsible for loss or damage. Therefore, Our Liability is limited as follows:

if We cause loss or damage to premises or property other than Goods for                                                                                                removal as a result of Our negligence or breach of contract, Our Liability shall                                                                                                be limited to making good the damaged area only; and

if We cause damage as a result of moving Goods under Your express instruction,                                                                                           against Our advice, and where moving the Goods in the manner instructed is                                                                                         likely to cause damage, We shall not be liable.

  1. Discount Vouchers and Codes

Only one discount code or voucher can be applied once per service type (e.g., packing, moving or storage). Specifically, only one code can be used for packing, one for cleaning and one for moving. Vouchers and codes can not be used on public holidays.
