Except as noted below I permit the Company to use driveways and all property access ways at all service locations. This includes use of driveways, private roads, parking area, pathways, passageways, doorways, entrances, vestibules, stairways, hallways, and elevators. I understand that commercial vehicles are more likely than passenger vehicles to damage driveways, trees, grass, and small plants. I agree to indemnify the Company of all claims, losses, liabilities, or expenses arising from use of property in a reasonable manner.
I assume responsibility for all required parking permits, municipal and private.
The Company may violate parking regulations. If the Company receives a parking violation notice, ticket, or fine, I shall accept full responsibility for said violation and other expense that may occur in such event. I agree to indemnify the Company of all liabilities and expenses arising out of improper parking while at my service.

Except when damaged due to neglectful handling by the Company, the Company shall not be responsible for damage to items that have not been both packed and unpacked by the Company. Contents of damaged cartons or containers shall be inspected as soon as practicable. Damage may occur due to neglectful handling, inapt materials, or improper packing. Company responsibility is limited to neglectful handling.
Except when an item shows visible damage, which may indicate neglectful handling, the Company shall not be responsible for mechanical and electrical item damage, and memory loss of electronic and battery operated devices. The Company shall not be responsible for mechanical or electronic functions of items.
Packing is putting items into cartons. Packing or crating does not mean shrink-wrapping, blanketing, or padding. All electronics, televisions, radios, computers, marble, glass, mirrors, pictures, paintings, lamps, lampshades, china, statues, mattresses, box springs, and other fragile items must be properly packed or crated for safe handling. Such items, unless properly packed or crated, are handled strictly at owners’ risk.
The Company shall not be responsible for chipping, cracking, peeling, or any other damage of mica, pressboard, or other engineered wood products. The Company shall not be responsible for damage to previously repaired items, items with original glue dried out, and plants (live, artificial, or dried).
Assembly or disassembly of defective items or items with deteriorated or missing parts or hardware may be impossible or harmful. If the Company shall attempt to disassemble or assemble such item, I shall accept responsibility for said item and other property damage or injury that may occur in such event.
If the Company shall attempt to place inside or remove an item from an area that said item has difficulty entering or exiting I shall accept full responsibility for said item and any property damage that may occur. I agree to indemnify the Company of any damage that may occur to walls, stairs, banisters, doorways, windows, ceilings, floors (carpet, tile, wood, linoleum), furniture, and other property.
All claims must be filed in writing within ninety (90) days of date of local service or intrastate delivery, or within nine (9) months of interstate (long distance) delivery or failure to make said delivery, and must be supported by a proof of payment of all charges. If the Company pays a claim for a loss of property then the Company is entitled to ownership of such property, including items released at sixty cents per pound per article. If one item in a set is damaged or lost, only that one item is covered and not the entire set. The Company may elect to pay to repair the damaged item to restore it to the condition it was in just prior to handling by the Company.

You may select one valuation option for your goods. This valuation option is not insurance. It is a limit of company or carrier liability for loss or damage to your goods while they are in its handling, custody, and control. The charge for these options varies with the amount of liability assumed by the carrier and the risk retained by you. Indicate your selection by signing next to the valuation option of your choice.
All valuation options, including the standard coverage of $0.60 per pound per article, are subject to the application of the terms and conditions set forth in the carrier’s Tariff, Bill of Lading and Addendum.
If you declare a value that is below the actual value of your goods, you will assume liability at a rate proportionate to the deficiency of your declared valuation.
This declaration shall be at least $6.75 times the entire shipment weight in pounds, or $47.25 times the entire shipment volume in cubic feet. Declared value shall be at least $9,450.00. Declaration of Values form must be completed. Protection may be arranged with an insurer of the carrier's choice.
Additional cost for this option is calculated based on the following:
B. $250.00 (two hundred and fifty) Deductible - $1.35 per every $100.00 valuation.
C. $500.00 (five hundred) Deductible - $1.17 per every $100.00 valuation.
D. $1,000.00 (one thousand) Deductible - $0.81 per every $100.00 valuation.
By choosing this option you are disregarding certain valuable coverage, which protects your possessions above the minimum amounts set by law. For example, if a 25-pound item is lost or damaged, you will be entitled to a maximum compensation of $15, which is less than ordinary replacement cost. I release the entire shipment, including contents of cartons and other containers, to a value not exceeding sixty cents ($0.60) per pound per article.
Handwrite the following in the space below “I choose the coverage of $0.60 per pound per article”.

(COMMONLY KNOWN AS PRESS BOARD)
Furniture manufactured from pressboard is designed to ship unassembled. It is not built to withstand the normal stresses of a move as an assembled unit. Chips and dents are not usually repairable. Surface impressions can be made on this type of furniture when writing on a single sheet of paper. Assembly instructions frequently suggest that connecting hardware pieces be glued in place. This does not significantly improve the structural integrity of the pieces, but does make disassembly impossible without creating substantial, un-repairable damage. Because of these problems, the shipper must select one of the following options: Option 1, 2, or 3 (shown below).
Option 1 I choose to disassemble all pressboard furniture prior to move. I assume all responsibility for damage to the press board furniture, which may occur during the disassembly of the furniture.
Option 2 I have engaged the services of another party to disassemble all press board furniture prior to my move. I assume all responsibility for damage that may occur to the press board furniture during the disassembly of the unit.
Option 3 I am tendering furniture constructed of press board fully assembled as part of our move. I understand that any claim for damage to the press board furniture may be denied due to inherent vice, based upon the fact that fully assembled press board furniture is inherently susceptible to damage as outlined above.
Please write below “I Select Option 1", "I Select Option 2", or "I Select Option 3” to specify your selected option.
