SERVICE AGREEMENT
I hereby acknowledge that moving time charges begin when the movers arrive at the loading address, and again when the movers arrive at the destination address.
I further acknowledge that I will be charged travel time for the time the movers leave their base location in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, until they arrive at the loading address, for the time spent traveling from the loading address to the destination address, and for the time spent traveling from the destination address back to the base location in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
I acknowledge that mileage will be calculated from loading address to destination address, roundtrip. I further understand that travel time consists of all time spent by the movers commuting to and from the loading address and destination address.
I understand that, in addition to the time spent and mileage incurred, I will also be responsible for materials costs, consisting of supplies, equipment, and other expenses as noted in the Itemization of Actual Charges.
I understand that payment in full is required upon Customer’s receipt of Company’s invoice. Upon discretion, Company reserves the right to request payment in the form of cash or certified funds only. I further understand that Company may charge a 1.5% late fee per month for monies owed past thirty (10) days from the date of invoice. Reasonable attorney’s fees, processing and court costs would also be due should Company incur the same while attempting to collect monies owed from Customer.
I further agree that layover or storage fees will be assessed in the event that delivery of Customer’s belongings cannot be made due to no fault of Company. While in the care of Company, the Customer’s property is subject to all applicable statutory liens until Company is paid in full.
