Privacy & Terms

Last updated: 1st February 2021

​

Please read these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”, “Terms and Conditions”) carefully before using the www.fccmovers.co.uk (the “Service”) operated by FCC Movers (“us”, “we”, or “our”).

​

These conditions explain the rights, obligations, & responsibilities of all parties to this Agreement.

Where we use the word “you” or “your” it means the Customer: “we”, “us”, “our” or “FCC Movers” means FCC Movers. “Work” means moving, collection, delivery, shipping, packing, storage or related services. These terms & conditions can be varied or amended but only subject to prior written agreement. Your attention is drawn to Clauses 8, 9, 10 & 11 which limit our liability & you should therefore consider specialist insurance to cover your goods or premises. If arranged this insurance will form a separate agreement between you & the Insurers & separate conditions will apply. As we aim to reduce use of all natural resources many of our records are electronic & thus when documents of any sort are referred to in this agreement this includes emails, pages on our website or the screens & memory of handheld portable computing &/or communication devices.

​

BASIS FOR & PAYMENT OF OUR CHARGES

1.1 Some of our services are provided without an advance site survey. Our charges for such moves are based on actual materials used & labour & vehicle time taken to complete the work unless otherwise agreed & confirmed by us in writing our time-based charges start from arrival at first collection point until departure from last delivery point & includes all travelling time including time spent in traffic, any time spent maintaining the vehicle’s load-space in a tidy & safe condition as necessary throughout & at the end of the work, refuelling the vehicle, time spent retrieving from or delivering to warehouses if the work involves property in storage. Please note that weekend collection/delivery may involve substantial additional time & cost.
1.2 A minimum charge is payable and you may be asked to pay this as a deposit at the time of booking. You will be given the option of paying either a ‘mini-deposit’, which is non-refundable, or a full deposit (totalling circa. 20% of your move cost) which is refundable, subject to paragraph 6. You are referred to 7.1 for timing of the payment balance.
1.2.1 In all circumstances, at the time of booking you must provide us with valid credit or debit card details. These will be securely retained until completion of your move. Completion of your move is considered to be after we have completed all administrative procedures related to the aftermath of your move.
1.3 If you book via our website or request a quote on the telephone (rather than arranging an on-site survey) we will provide you with a time estimate & breakdown of our charges (including hourly rate) & the amount of the deposit we require. Since this estimate is based on broad standard industry costing principles applied to information you provide & without exact knowledge of the individual circumstances of your site or individual requirements, this estimate is not binding on us & the price & time charge rates are not fixed; they may vary depending on different factors. If the work is completed in less time while the chargeable time may decrease the time charge rates may increase, if the work is completed in more time the chargeable time may increase but time charge rates will stay the same.
1.3.1 You may have the option of choosing a full day rate or a half day rate and the allotted time period for these rates will be set out in your order for service. If your job takes longer than your allotted time, you be charged for additional hours at an hourly rate of £60 per hour per van (prices subject to change).
1.4 We may, if you request us to do so, carry out an advance site survey & then issue you with a quotation which will be binding & fixed. It will include the cost of materials, labour & vehicles & any mileage charges applicable. However if we provide a quotation, unless otherwise stated,
1.4.1 It does not include insurance, parking suspension costs, customs duties & inspections or any other fees or taxes payable to government bodies.
1.4.2 We may change the price or make additional charges if circumstances are found to apply which have not been taken into account when preparing our quotation & confirmed by us in writing. These include:
1.4..2.1 Changes in our availability due to supply and demand factors.
1.4.2.2 Our costs change because of currency fluctuations or changes in taxation or freight charges beyond our control.
1.4.2.3 The work (including handling of or access to property in storage) is carried out at your request on a Saturday, Sunday, or Public Holidays or outside normal hours (08.00-18.00hrs) or if the date or time of the work after the quotation is issued.
1.4..2.4 We have to collect or deliver goods at your request above the ground floor & first upper floor.
1.4.2.5 If you deliver or collect some or all of the goods to or from the warehouse, we are entitled to make a charge for receiving or handing them over.
1.4.2.6 We supply any additional services, including work arising from extra goods (these conditions apply to such work).
1.4.2.7 The items do not fit in the lift and this was not notified to us at the time of booking, and/or the stairs, lifts or doorways are inadequate for free movement of the goods without mechanical equipment or structural alteration, and/or the approach, road or drive is unsuitable for our vehicles &/or containers to load &/or unload within 20 metres of the doorway.
1.4.2.8 We have to pay parking or other fees, charges, penalties & fines in order to carry out services on your behalf.
1.4.2.9 There are delays or events outside our reasonable control which increase or extend the resources or time allowed to complete the agreed Work.
1.4.2.9.1 For delays outside of our control, we charge in accordance with the following: Up to 2 hours delay: £0, 2-5 hours delay: £180, 5-10 hour delay £475, 10-12 hour delay: £675. For more than 12 hour delay, we will charge a further £100 per hour for every additional hour of waiting.
1.4.2.10 We agree in writing to increase our limit of liability set out in Clause 8.1.
1.4.2.11 In any such circumstances, adjusted charges may apply & become payable.
1.5 Items booked on promotion, such as cleaning and handy man services will be provided on the day of move or the week of move (at the company’s complete discretion). If the customer wishes to select a day of choosing, additional charges will apply.

​

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

3. Your Responsibility
3.1 It will be your sole responsibility to ensure that you, personally or through an authorised representative:
3.1.1 Declare to us, in writing, the value of the goods subject of the Work. If it is subsequently established that the actual value of the goods removed or stored is greater than the actual value you declare, you agree that our liability under clause 8.1 & 8.2 will be reduced to reflect the proportion that your declared value bears to their actual value.
3.1.2 Arrange adequate insurance cover for the goods subject of the work, against all insurable risks as our liability is limited under clauses 8.1 & 8.2.
3.1.3 Obtain at your own expense, all documents, permits, permissions, licences, customs documents necessary for the work to be completed.
3.1.4 Remain present or represented preferably during the work but certainly at the collection & delivery phases.
3.1.5 Sign our agreed inventories, receipts, job sheets, time sheets or other relevant documents by way of confirmation of collection or delivery of goods or labour or vehicle time. If you do not sign any of these items for any reason you authorise our representative to sign them on your behalf & any charges or other consequences arising will be as if you had signed yourself.
3.1.6 Take all reasonable steps to ensure that nothing that should be removed is left behind & nothing is taken away in error.
3.1.7 Arrange proper protection for goods left in unoccupied or unattended premises, or where other people such as (but not limited to) tenants or workmen are, or will be present.
3.1.8 Prepare adequately & stabilise all appliances or electronic equipment prior to the work.
3.1.9 Empty, properly defrost & clean refrigerators & deep freezers. We are not responsible for the contents.
3.1.10 Provide us with a telephone number & contact postal and email address for correspondence during removal transit &/or storage of goods.
3.1.11 Truthfully & conscientiously complete the questions in the Online Booking Form if you book online.
3.1.12 Arrange for the necessary parking space for our vans on both pickup and delivery address.
3.1.13 When choosing to do your own packing, we can send you instructions demonstrating how to correctly pack. If you pack incorrectly and as such, the goods do not fit into our vans, you may incur extra costs.
3.1.14 We appreciate your offer to help, but our teams are tight efficient units who work best alone, with minimum interference. Also, our movers are covered in the case of injury, but if you really insist on helping, we’re afraid Black and Yellow Moves cannot be held responsible for any damage to you or the goods when you’re carrying. And for safety reasons, only members of our Black and Yellow Moves team can enter in the back of the van, not clients. Except right at the end of the move when we’ll ask you to check the van. And even then, you’ll need one of our guys escorting you.
3.2 Other than by reason of our negligence or breach of this contract, we will not be liable for any loss or damage, costs or additional charges that may arise from failure to discharge these responsibilities & may cancel the work at our discretion without any further liability to you.

​

In the case of all moves going outside of London (both within UK or internationally), full payment will be required in advance of the removal.

7.1.3 By providing us with your credit/debit card details, you are authorising us to use that card, to charge you in full for your move and to charge you for any ancillary payments.

OUR LIABILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE

FCC do not provide any kind on insurance but a valuation for your goods only. We do not cover any cases of “damage to feeling” or items of sentimental value. Our valuation is not included in your moving rate and can be purchased in advance for 10% of the total move cost.
8.1 Our liability for loss or damage is limited, as set out in clause 8.1.1 below. Alternatively, you may request us to increase our liability, as set out in clause 8.1.2:
8.1.1a We will not be liable for any damage or loss to your goods, without clear evidence demonstrating that our movers caused the loss or damage by own negligence or mishandling the goods; and in all circumstances our liability is subject to the below
8.1.1b In the event of our negligence or breach of contract resulting in loss of or damage to your goods, we shall not be liable for the first £300 of any claim and for any claim exceeding this amount we shall pay out on an indemnity basis, and up to a maximum of £25,000.
8.1.2a Under no circumstances will we be liable for any other charges such as transport and delivery costs etc.
8.1.2b Prior to the commencement of work & subject to payment by you of an additional fee, us having confirmed to you in writing & our having received your itemised valued inventory (see 3.1.1) we may agree to increase our liability to an amount more than £25,000 & no more than £35,000.
8.1.3 We will not unreasonably withhold consent to such requests. These changed liabilities are not insurance cover & you are strongly advised to ensure that your property is adequately insured during the removal & to show this contract to your insurance company.
8.2 For goods destined to, or received from a place outside the United Kingdom.
8.2.1 We will accept liability for loss or damage;
(a) arising from our negligence or breach of contract whilst the goods are in our physical possession, or
(b) whilst the goods are in the possession of others if the loss or damage is established to have been caused by our failure to pack the goods to a reasonable standard where we have been contracted to pack the goods that are subject to the claim.
In either circumstances clause 8.1.1 & 8.1.2 above will apply.
8.2.2 Where we engage an international transport operator, shipping company or airline to convey your goods to the place, port or airport of destination, we do so on your behalf & subject to the terms & conditions set out by that carrier.
8.2.3 If the carrying vessel/conveyance, should for reasons beyond the carrier’s control, fail to deliver the goods, or route them to a place other than the original destination, you have limited recourse against the carrier, & may be liable for General Average contribution (e.g. the costs incurred to preserve the vessel/conveyance & cargo) & salvage charges, or the additional cost of onward transmission to the place, port or airport of destination. These are insurable risks & it is your responsibility to arrange adequate marine/transit insurance cover.
8.2.4 We do not accept liability for goods confiscated, seized, removed or damaged by Customs Authorities or other Government Agencies unless we have been negligent or in breach of contract.
8.3 For the purposes of this Agreement an item is defined as:

8.3.2 Any other object or thing that is moved, handled or stored by us.

DAMAGE TO PREMISES OR PROPERTY OTHER THAN GOODS

9.1.1 Where third party contractors are present, we will not accept any responsibility for loss or damage if it is not reported to us while the movers are present;
9.1.2 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 to a reasonable standard, the damaged area only. We will not, however, in any circumstances, undertake or pay for painting work.

If in our reasonable opinion or the opinion of a competent adviser any item or goods is or are either of no resale value or the costs of sale would exceed the likely benefit obtained, we are then entitled to dispose of such goods or items as we see fit. If we do sell your goods we shall make reasonable efforts to sell in the appropriate market, however we shall not be obliged to take any steps other than those which may be reasonable in this respect & we shall have no obligation to seek any expert opinion before any sale is effected nor shall we be liable to you if for any reason the sale does not realise any particular or anticipated or estimated valuation. We shall be entitled to make a reasonable charge for valuation (if appropriate), administration, delivery & all other Work in relation to sale or disposal. The cost of the sale or disposal will be charged to you. The net proceeds will be credited to your account & any eventual surplus will be paid to you without interest. If the full amount due is not received, we may seek to recover the balance from you.
