Terms & Conditions

The terms that apply when you book a move with Servant Moving LLC, in the US or the UK.

Last updated: [DATE YOU PUBLISH THIS PAGE]
Before publishing this page: the sections on liability/valuation coverage and operating authority below use placeholders where your actual registration numbers and insurance details need to go. Two separate registrations apply here โ€” Connecticut requires a state Household Goods Carrier Certificate for any move, even local ones within CT, and federal FMCSA registration (USDOT + MC number) is required for any move crossing state lines. Please confirm both with the relevant agency and your insurer before this page goes live, and have a lawyer review it too.

1. Scope of these terms

These terms apply to every quote, booking, and move arranged with Servant Moving LLC, whether you're located in the United States or the United Kingdom. Because moving regulations differ between the two countries, some sections below apply only to one โ€” these are clearly labelled.

2. Booking and quotes

Quotes provided through our website, by phone, or by email are estimates based on the information you provide (property size, locations, crew size, and any notes). Final pricing may be adjusted if the actual job differs materially from what was described โ€” for example, more items, additional stairs, or access issues not mentioned at the time of quoting. We'll always tell you about a price change before continuing the job.

3. Payment

Payment terms (deposit, if any, and final payment method and timing) will be confirmed with you at the time of booking. [ADD YOUR ACTUAL DEPOSIT/PAYMENT POLICY HERE, e.g. "A 20% deposit is due at booking, with the balance due on completion of the move."]

4. Cancellation โ€” US bookings

[ADD YOUR ACTUAL US CANCELLATION POLICY, e.g. notice period required and any deposit forfeited for late cancellation.] We recommend giving as much notice as possible so we can release your crew and time slot to another customer.

5. Cancellation โ€” UK bookings (your legal right)

If you booked your removal online or by phone (a "distance contract") as a consumer in the UK, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 give you the right to cancel within 14 days of booking, without giving a reason, unless the service has already been fully performed with your agreement before that period ends. To cancel within this period, contact us using the details in Section 12.

This 14-day right is in addition to, and doesn't reduce, any other cancellation terms we offer.

6. Liability and valuation coverage โ€” US moves

For moves that cross state lines, federal law requires us to disclose the valuation coverage options available for your belongings before the move:

  • Released Value Protection โ€” the minimum level of protection required by federal law, at no additional charge, valuing your belongings at $0.60 per pound per article regardless of actual value.
  • Full Value Protection โ€” [CONFIRM WHETHER YOU OFFER THIS AND ON WHAT TERMS] a higher level of coverage, typically at additional cost, under which we're liable for the replacement value of lost or damaged items.

Before an interstate move, we'll provide you with a copy of the FMCSA's consumer booklet, "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move," as required by federal law.

USDOT #: [ADD ONCE REGISTERED]   MC #: [ADD ONCE REGISTERED]

For moves entirely within Connecticut, state law (Conn. Gen. Stat. ยงยง 13b-387 through 13b-414) requires household goods movers to hold an active Household Goods Carrier Certificate issued by the Connecticut Department of Transportation, with a minimum of $750,000 in liability insurance. This is separate from federal interstate registration and is required even for local, in-state moves.

CT Household Goods Carrier Certificate #: [ADD ONCE ISSUED]

7. Liability โ€” UK removals

[ADD YOUR ACTUAL UK LIABILITY TERMS โ€” for example, a standard limit of liability per item or per weight, and whether customers can purchase additional goods-in-transit insurance.] We recommend UK customers confirm whether their home contents insurance covers items in transit during a move, as a removals company's liability is typically limited unless additional cover is purchased.

8. Your responsibilities

  • Accurately describe your inventory, property size, and access conditions (stairs, elevators, parking) when requesting a quote
  • Ensure valuable, fragile, sentimental, or irreplaceable items are identified to us in advance
  • Have a responsible adult present at both pickup and delivery locations

9. Items we can't move

We're unable to transport hazardous materials, flammable liquids, perishable food, live plants or animals, or illegal items. Ask us in advance if you're unsure whether something qualifies.

10. Making a claim

If something is lost or damaged during your move, please notify us in writing as soon as possible, and no later than [ADD YOUR CLAIM WINDOW, e.g. "9 months of delivery" for US interstate moves per federal minimum, or your own UK claim window] with a description of the item and the damage.

11. Governing law

US bookings

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, alongside applicable US federal regulations for interstate movers.

UK bookings

For consumers located in the UK, nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights under UK consumer protection law, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
