General terms and conditions

1. Scope
1.2 Subsidiary agreements, supplements or amendments to these GTC must be made in writing. In the event of contradictions in the contractual bases, the following order shall apply: special agreements, insofar as these have been confirmed by us in writing; these GTC; statutory regulations.
1.3 The General Terms and Conditions of the Client are hereby expressly rejected. We shall not be bound by them even if contracts have already been concluded on the basis of the customer’s GTC, if we do not object to them again upon conclusion of the contract or if their validity is stated as an express condition in the customer’s GTC. Acts of contract performance on our part shall also not be deemed to be consent to the customer’s GTC.
1.4 Within the scope of the Federal Data Protection Act, the Client authorizes us to electronically process its data for internal purposes as well as for commissioned data processing. As soon as the legal obligation exists, the client undertakes within the meaning of § 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB) to participate in electronic record keeping within the meaning of the Record Keeping Ordinance (Nachweisverordnung) of 20.10.2006, as amended.
1.5 The following terms and conditions shall also apply to the services of third parties commissioned by us. We shall not recognize any terms and conditions of our customer that conflict with or deviate from our terms and conditions, unless we have expressly agreed to their validity in writing. Deviating agreements shall apply in each case only to a specific contract and not to subsequent contracts, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

2. Conclusion of contract
2.2 Agreements made verbally, by telephone, by fax or by e-mail, such as orders, offers, orders, order changes, cancellations, etc. shall only become binding for us if they have been confirmed by us in writing. Silence on our part shall not be deemed as consent. However, in individual cases we are entitled to accept verbal or implied acceptance of the contract as well as acceptance by actual compliance.
2.3 Several debtors of a service shall be deemed to be joint and several debtors.

3. Carrying out the work
3.2 The Furniture Removal Company’s people, unless otherwise agreed, are not authorized to perform electrical, gas, dowel and other installation work.
3.3 We do not assume any liability for possible delays in order processing or delayed collection. The client expressly agrees not to assert any claims for compensation in this context, regardless of their nature and legal basis.
3.4 Events of force majeure – irrespective of whether they occur at our premises or at the premises of the other carrier – shall entitle us to postpone the processing of the order for the duration of the hindrance and a reasonable start-up period or to withdraw from the contract on account of the part not yet fulfilled. The customer may demand a declaration from us as to whether we wish to withdraw from the contract or deliver within a reasonable period of time. If we do not explain ourselves, the client can withdraw. Force majeure shall be deemed to include circumstances that make it significantly more difficult or temporarily impossible for us to process the order, such as transport hindrances, operational disruptions or industrial action.

13. Special grounds for exclusion of liability (§§451d-451g HGB)
The Furniture Removal Company shall be relieved of its liability to the extent that the loss or damage is due to any of the following perils:
- Carriage of precious metals, jewels, precious stones, money, stamps, coins, securities or documents;
- insufficient packaging or labeling by the sender
- Handling, loading or unloading of the removal goods by the sender;
- Transportation of goods not packed by the mover in containers;
- Loading or unloading of removal goods, the size or weight of which does not correspond to the space conditions at the loading point or unloading point, provided that the Furniture Removal Company has previously informed the Shipper of the risk of damage and the Shipper has insisted that the service be performed
- Carriage of live animals or plants;
- natural or defective condition of the removal goods – in particular due to breakage, malfunction, rust, internal spoilage or leakage.
If damage has occurred which, according to the circumstances of the case, could have arisen from one of the hazards described under 1. to 7. above, it shall be presumed that the damage arose from this hazard. The Furniture Removal Firm may only invoke the special grounds for exclusion of liability if it has taken all measures incumbent upon it under the circumstances and has complied with special instructions.

14. Notice of damage
The claims due to the loss or damage of the goods expire:
If the damage was externally visible and the Contractor was not notified in writing no later than the day of delivery of the goods.
If the damage was not externally visible and was not reported to the Contractor within 14 days after delivery in accordance with § 451 f HGB.
Damage to technical equipment is excluded, as the contractor cannot check its functionality before the move.

15. Cancellation costs
15.1 In the event of cancellation not more than three days prior to the scheduled move, 50% of the contract amount will be due.
15.2 In case of cancellation of the order from 3 days before the moving date, the total moving price (according to the offer) is due immediately.
