These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Denmark Removals provides removal, relocation, packing, storage, and associated services to domestic and commercial customers. By placing a booking with us, you agree that these Terms and Conditions will apply to any services we perform for you.

1. Definitions

In these Terms and Conditions, the following words have the meanings given below:

Customer means the person, firm, or company who requests services from Denmark Removals.

We, us, our means Denmark Removals as the contracted service provider.

Services means any removal, packing, unpacking, loading, unloading, storage, waste removal, or associated services we agree to provide.

Service Address means the collection and delivery addresses or any other locations where services are to be performed.

Booking means your confirmed request for services, as accepted by us, whether in writing or verbally.

2. Scope of Services

We provide household and commercial removal services, including local and longer-distance moves within the United Kingdom, together with associated packing, unpacking, and limited waste removal services where agreed in advance. Any description of our service areas on our website or marketing materials is indicative and does not create a guarantee of service availability for any particular address. Availability is always subject to resource, scheduling, and access constraints.

3. Booking Process

3.1 You may request a quotation by providing accurate details of the items to be moved, access conditions, addresses, and any special requirements. Quotations are normally based on the information supplied by you and may be revised if that information is incomplete or inaccurate.

3.2 A booking is only confirmed when we expressly accept your request for services and provide written or verbal confirmation, which may include a reference, date, estimated arrival time, and price or pricing basis.

3.3 You must inform us as soon as possible of any changes to the information provided at the quotation stage, including changes to moving dates, addresses, parking conditions, access restrictions, or the nature and quantity of items.

3.4 If, upon arrival, we discover that the work required is significantly greater than described, or that access is substantially more difficult than indicated, we may adjust the price to reflect the additional time, labour, or equipment needed. We are not obliged to undertake work that is materially different from what was originally booked if it is unsafe, illegal, or beyond our reasonable capacity.

4. Quotations and Pricing

4.1 Unless otherwise stated, quotations are provided on the basis of normal working hours and typical access conditions in residential and commercial areas. Prices may vary depending on distance, volume, number of staff required, vehicle size, and timing.

4.2 Quotations do not include additional charges such as parking fees, congestion or clean air zone charges, tolls, ferry charges, customs duties, storage fees, or charges for specialist handling unless specifically stated.

4.3 Where services are provided on an hourly rate, the minimum booking period will be communicated to you at the time of booking. Time is usually calculated from the scheduled arrival time at the first Service Address until completion at the final Service Address or return to base, as notified to you.

5. Payments

5.1 We may require a deposit to secure your booking. The amount and payment deadline will be specified during the booking process. Failure to pay the required deposit may result in your booking being cancelled.

5.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all outstanding balances are payable either before the service commences or immediately upon completion of the services on the same day.

5.3 Payment methods accepted will be communicated to you at the time of booking. You are responsible for ensuring that cleared funds are available on the due date.

5.4 If you fail to make payment when due, we may suspend services, retain goods until payment is made in full, charge interest on overdue amounts at the statutory rate, and recover from you any reasonable costs incurred in pursuing late payment.

6. Cancellations and Amendments

6.1 You may cancel or amend your booking by notifying us as early as possible. Your right to cancel may be subject to charges depending on the notice you provide.

6.2 If you cancel more than a reasonable number of working days before the scheduled service date, any deposit paid may be refunded or transferred to a new date at our discretion.

6.3 If you cancel within a shorter period before the scheduled service date, part or all of the agreed price may become payable to cover our costs and loss of business. The applicable timeframe and charges will be indicated during the booking process or in your confirmation.

6.4 We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a booking where there are circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to severe weather, vehicle breakdowns, road closures, strikes, accidents, illness, or other events that make it impracticable or unsafe to carry out the services as planned. In such cases, our liability will be limited to refunding any pre-paid amounts for services not carried out or rebooking the service at a mutually convenient time.

7. Access, Parking, and Your Responsibilities

7.1 You must ensure that we have suitable access to the Service Address, including safe and legal parking for our vehicles, and reasonable internal access to the premises. This includes arranging parking permits or visitor passes where necessary and providing clear information about any loading restrictions, low bridges, narrow roads, or other obstacles.

7.2 You are responsible for any parking penalties, wheel clamp release fees, or similar charges incurred as a direct result of inadequate or inaccurate information about parking or access at the Service Address.

7.3 You must ensure that all items are ready for removal, appropriately packed where you have chosen to do your own packing, and that fragile or high-value items are clearly identified. You must remove or secure any personal items, keys, documents, money, jewellery, or other valuables that you do not wish to be handled by our staff.

7.4 You must be present, or ensure that an authorised representative is present, at the Service Address for the duration of the service to provide instructions, answer questions, and sign any necessary documentation. If no one is present, we may act according to our best judgment, and you agree to accept those decisions as binding.

8. Items We Do Not Move

8.1 We do not transport illegal goods, live animals, perishable food, hazardous substances, explosive or flammable items, firearms and ammunition, or any other goods that we reasonably consider to present a risk to health, safety, or property.

8.2 If such items are presented for transport without our knowledge, we may remove them or require you to collect them immediately. We will not be liable for any loss, damage, or delay arising from such items being included in your consignment.

9.1 We will exercise reasonable care and skill in providing our services. Our liability is limited as set out in this section and is conditional on your compliance with these Terms and Conditions.

9.2 We are not liable for loss or damage that arises from your failure to adequately pack items where you have chosen to pack yourself, pre-existing defects, wear and tear, or the inherent nature of certain items that makes them susceptible to damage, such as fragile or poorly constructed furniture.

9.3 We will not be responsible for damage to the internal workings or electronic components of appliances, computers, televisions, or other devices unless there is clear evidence of external damage caused by our negligence.

9.4 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, our liability for loss or damage to your goods in our custody or control is limited to a reasonable amount per item or per consignment, subject to an overall cap. You may request additional cover or declare a higher value for your goods where available, which may be subject to an additional charge.

9.5 We will not be liable for any indirect or consequential losses, including loss of profit, loss of business, or loss of opportunity, even if we have been made aware of the possibility of such losses.

9.6 We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform our obligations where such delay or failure is due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to adverse weather, traffic conditions, accidents, mechanical failure, or acts of third parties.

10. Claims and Time Limits

10.1 You must inspect your goods as soon as reasonably possible upon completion of the services. Any visible loss or damage must be notified to us on the day of service or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

10.2 Any claim for loss or damage must be made in writing and supported by reasonable evidence, including descriptions, photographs, and purchase or repair estimates where available. We may inspect the damaged items before any repairs or disposal takes place.

10.3 If you fail to notify us of any claim within a reasonable period following the completion of the services, we may not be able to investigate effectively and may decline liability.

11. Waste and Disposal Regulations

11.1 Where we agree to remove and dispose of unwanted items, we will do so in accordance with applicable waste management and environmental regulations. We will only transport household or commercial waste that we are legally permitted to carry.

11.2 You confirm that any items presented for disposal are your property or that you have full authority to arrange their disposal. You agree to indemnify us against any claims arising from the removal of items without proper authority.

11.3 Certain items may be classified as hazardous or special waste and may incur additional charges or require specialist disposal arrangements. We reserve the right to refuse to remove such items if we are not appropriately licensed or equipped.

11.4 Fly-tipping and unlawful dumping are strictly prohibited. We will not deposit waste illegally under any circumstances. We may decline any request that appears inconsistent with legal waste regulations, and we may report suspected unlawful activity to the relevant authorities.

12. Storage Services

12.1 Where we provide or arrange storage, your goods will be stored in facilities we reasonably consider suitable. Access to stored goods will be by appointment and may be subject to additional charges.

12.2 Storage charges are payable in advance and on a recurring basis as agreed. If you fail to pay storage charges when due, we may exercise a lien over your goods and, following proper notice, sell or dispose of them to recover outstanding amounts and reasonable associated costs.

13. Insurance

13.1 We maintain insurance cover appropriate to our business. You are responsible for assessing whether this cover is adequate for your needs and for arranging any additional insurance you consider necessary.
