24.4. If your confirmed fixed date changes, you will need to secure your new date with a further 10% deposit.
24.5. For hourly rate removals, an upfront non-refundable payment is required for the first 2 hours of the booking by way of a deposit. Any remaining balance will be payable on the day of the removal.
24.6. Storage bookings are made on a first come first served basis and are subject to availability. To book storage with us, we will require an advance payment of your first four weekly storage charges.

25. Termination of Storage

If payments are up to date, we will not end this contract except by giving you three months’ notice in writing. If you wish to terminate your storage contract, you must give us at least 10 working days’ notice (working days are defined in Clause 7 above). If we can release the goods earlier, we will do so, provided that your account is paid up to date. Charges for storage are payable to the date when the notice should have taken effect.

26. Termination Policy Due to Abusive Behaviour

We are committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for both our guests and staff. If a booking is made and the guest arrives—or is due to arrive—and displays abusive, aggressive, or inappropriate behaviour toward any member of our staff either in person or over the phone, we reserve the right to immediately terminate the booking.

 

In such cases, no refund will be issued, including any deposit paid. These funds will be retained to cover staff compensation and the disruption caused.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

27. Missed Appointment / Communication Policy

If our team arrives at the scheduled time and is unable to proceed due to a language barrier, no one answering the door, a no-show, or unanswered phone calls, we will wait for an additional 20 minutes on-site.

If there is still no communication after this period, we will assume the appointment cannot go ahead and may need to make alternative arrangements. Unless prior written instructions have been provided, the visit will be marked as incomplete and may be subject to additional charges or forfeiture of any deposit paid.

We strongly advise that someone who is able to communicate clearly and is reachable be present at the time of the booking.

28. Policy on Abusive Behaviour and Payment

In the event that a customer displays rude or abusive behaviour, we reserve the right to request the full payment—including any outstanding balance—immediately to secure the full amount owed. In most cases, under such circumstances, we will also discontinue the work and leave the premises.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward disrespectful conduct to protect the wellbeing of our staff.

29. Vehicle Load Capacity

For legal and health & safety reasons, we will not overload our vans under any circumstances. This ensures the safety of our team, the public, and other road users.

Our standard 3.5-tonne Luton vans typically have a payload of approximately 800–1000kg, depending on the vehicle’s make, configuration (e.g., tail lift or internal fittings), and fuel level. While the internal space of the van can accommodate large volumes, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the total weight of items does not exceed the van’s legal payload as shown on the vehicle’s specification plate.

 

If your load exceeds the maximum payload, additional arrangements may be required, which could result in extra charges or delays. Our driver may assess the load on arrival and, if they determine that loading the full amount would risk exceeding the legal limit, they may:

  • Partially load items

  • Decline certain items

  • Recommend an alternative solution or additional vehicle

Overloading a vehicle is illegal and unsafe, and Moveroo cannot accept liability for delays, service limitations, or extra costs resulting from loads that exceed the legal payload or from inaccurate load information provided by the customer.

30. Hourly Rate Jobs (Moveroo)

In addition to our fixed-price services, Moveroo and our Partners offer an Hourly Rate Service ("Hourly Rate Job"). This option allows customers to book transport services based on time rather than a fixed fee. The following terms apply exclusively to Hourly Rate Jobs and are binding only for customers who choose this option.

4.1 Booking an Hourly Rate Job

If you wish to book an Hourly Rate Job, you must:

  • Select the Hourly Rate Job option on the Booking Request Form; and

  • Provide a clear and accurate summary of the Transport Services you require, including all necessary details to help us plan and deliver the service appropriately.

4.2 Vehicle and Staffing Requirements

You must confirm the following within the Booking Request Form:

  • The size of the vehicle required; and

  • Whether additional personnel (e.g., a second driver) are needed.

4.3 Pricing Options

Once we receive your Booking Request Form, Moveroo will provide you with a selection of Price Options, based on:

  • The service details you submitted; and

  • The type of vehicle requested ("Hourly Rate Vehicle").

4.4 Vehicle Availability

While we will make every reasonable effort to provide the Hourly Rate Vehicle you requested, it may not always be available. In such cases, we reserve the right to assign a comparable alternative vehicle.

4.5 Material Differences on Arrival

If, upon arrival, the actual Transport Services you require are materially different from what was stated in your Booking Request Form (in our or our Partner’s reasonable opinion), we reserve the right to immediately terminate the contract. This will be considered a breach of contract by you, and you will not be entitled to a refund, in accordance with clause 7.3.1.

4.6 Item Exclusions for Hourly Rate Jobs

In addition to the general exclusions outlined in these Terms, Hourly Rate Jobs do not cover the transport of the following items:

  • Pianos

  • Motorcycles

  • Any type of motor vehicles

4.7 Additional Charges for Overtime

If the Hourly Rate Job takes longer than the time specified in your Booking Request Form:

  • We will notify you by email as soon as possible regarding any additional charges incurred.

  • You must pay these additional charges before offloading the goods.

4.8 Delays Beyond Scheduled Time

By entering into this contract, you acknowledge that external factors may cause the Hourly Rate Job to take longer than estimated.
If the job exceeds the booked time by more than one (1) hour, Moveroo and/or our Partners may, at our sole discretion:

  • Cease the Transport Services immediately; and

  • Still charge you for all additional time spent up to that point.

No refunds will be provided in such cases.

4.9 What's Included in the Hourly Rate Job

The base price of an Hourly Rate Job includes:

  • One (1) driver

  • Up to 10 miles of fuel

4.10 Additional Services & Fuel Charges

  • If you request an additional driver, this will be included in your quotation (refer to our Additional Pricing Brochure for more details).

  • Additional fuel beyond the 10-mile allowance will be charged at £0.50 per mile, payable under the same terms as outlined in clause 4.7.
