Terms & Conditions

Section #1 - IMPORTANT NOTICE

The project is quoted based on the agreed scope of work and is structured as a fixed or defined project price.

All services included in the project will be outlined in the estimate or service agreement.

Unlike standard carrier tariff-based pricing, project pricing is managed and coordinated through Bystroff Moving & Storage, Inc.

Any additional services not included in the agreed scope -including but not limited to specialty handling, access-related conditions, or changes in project requirements - must be approved and coordinated through us prior to execution.

The client will not be subject to additional carrier-imposed charges unless such services are expressly authorized and coordinated through Bystroff Moving & Storage, Inc.

Section #2 - LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Bystroff Moving & Storage, Inc. shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from services performed by third parties.

Section #3 - CARRIER LIABILITY

Liability for loss or damage to goods during transportation is governed solely by the terms and conditions of the performing licensed carrier and their Bill of Lading. Each carrier operates under its own authority, insurance coverage, and liability provisions.

Bystroff Moving & Storage, Inc. does not assume liability for transportation-related loss or damage but will assist in coordination and communication as needed.

The client represents and warrants that they are the lawful owner of the goods or have full authority to arrange for their relocation, transportation, and/or storage.

The client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Bystroff Moving & Storage, Inc. from any claims, damages, or legal actions arising from ownership disputes or lack of authority over the goods.

Where services are performed by third-party carriers or providers, the client’s representations and responsibilities extend to such parties under their respective agreements.

A project retainer is required to secure scheduling and initiate coordination. The remaining balance is due as outlined in the project estimate and prior to completion of services, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Where applicable, certain services such as transportation or storage may be performed by third-party providers.

Payment for such services may be collected directly by the performing carrier or included within the overall project pricing as agreed.

Failure to complete payment may result in delays, suspension of services, or release of scheduling commitments.

Section #7 - GENERAL LIEN FOR CHARGES

Licensed carriers performing transportation services may have a lien on goods for unpaid transportation, storage, or related charges in accordance with their Bill of Lading and applicable regulations.
