14. THIRD-PARTY MOVERS BOOKED BY THE CUSTOMER

14.1

Where the Customer independently books, appoints, hires, engages or instructs a Third-Party Mover, such provider is engaged solely by the Customer.

14.2

A Third-Party Mover independently engaged by the Customer is not an employee, agent, representative, contractor or subcontractor of 800 TRUCK.

14.3

800 TRUCK shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of any independently booked Third-Party Mover, including any:

  • loss;

  • theft;

  • breakage;

  • damage;

  • delay;

  • non-delivery;

14.5

Any complaint regarding an independently booked Third-Party Mover must be pursued directly against that Third-Party Mover where the relevant issue arose from their services.

14.6

The fact that a Third-Party Mover:

  • enters an 800 TRUCK Facility;

  • collects Goods from a Facility;

  • delivers Goods to a Facility;

  • communicates with Company employees; or

  • is permitted access for collection or delivery

does not make that Third-Party Mover an employee, agent or subcontractor of 800 TRUCK.

14.7

Where the Customer instructs 800 TRUCK to release Goods to a Third-Party Mover, driver, courier or representative nominated by the Customer, release to that person shall constitute release to the Customer.

Risk relating to the Third-Party Mover's subsequent handling and transportation passes to the Customer upon lawful handover, subject to applicable law.

14.9

Where 800 TRUCK merely provides the Customer with contact information or an introduction to an external service provider without contracting that provider to perform the Company's obligations, that introduction does not constitute a guarantee of that third party's performance.

14.10

For clarity, this section concerns third parties independently selected or appointed by the Customer.

Where 800 TRUCK itself appoints a subcontractor to perform part of the Services contracted directly with 800 TRUCK, the respective rights and liabilities shall be governed by the Service Agreement and applicable law.

17. STORAGE INVENTORY

17.1

Where the Company prepares an inventory, the inventory is intended primarily to identify packages, cartons or individually identifiable Goods handled by the Company.

17.2

An inventory is not a professional valuation of the Goods.

17.3

Unless specifically agreed, the Company is not responsible for identifying or listing every individual item contained inside sealed cartons, bags, furniture or packages.

17.4

The Customer must notify the Company of any obvious inventory discrepancy as soon as reasonably possible.

17.5

Photographs, barcodes, labels, warehouse records and digital inventory systems may be used as evidence of Goods received, stored or released.

18. COLLECTION FROM STORAGE AND MISSING ITEMS

18.1

The Customer or the Customer's Authorised Representative is responsible for checking and confirming the Goods at the time of collection from the Storage Facility.

18.2

The Customer must inspect the Goods and notify Company staff of any apparent missing Goods, shortage or discrepancy before the relevant Goods leave the Facility.

18.3

If a Customer believes that an item is missing, this must be reported to the Company immediately and, wherever reasonably possible, before the collection vehicle exits the Facility.

18.4

Once Goods have been:

(a) collected by the Customer;

(b) handed to an Authorised Representative;

(c) handed to a Third-Party Mover, driver or courier nominated by the Customer; and

(d) removed from or exited the Storage Facility,

Once the Goods have been handed over to the Customer, the Customer’s authorised representative, or any third-party mover, driver, courier or other person nominated by the Customer, and the Goods have exited the ٨٠٠ تراك facility, ٨٠٠ تراك shall not be responsible or liable for any Goods that are subsequently alleged to be missing, lost, stolen, misplaced, damaged or unaccounted for.

The Customer or the Customer’s authorised representative is responsible for inspecting and verifying the Goods before leaving the facility and must report any apparent shortage, discrepancy or missing item to ٨٠٠ تراك before departure.

Where no such report is made before the Goods leave the facility, the Goods shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be treated as having been handed over in accordance with the applicable collection, inventory and release records.

Nothing in this clause excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.

18.5

Where no missing-item or shortage report is made at collection before departure, the collection records, inventory acknowledgment and other available evidence may be relied upon as evidence that the Goods were released as recorded.

18.6

Once Goods have exited the Facility, the Company cannot verify subsequent:

  • transportation;

  • unloading;

  • handling;

  • delivery;

  • unpacking;

  • transfer;

  • temporary storage; or

  • access by third parties.

Accordingly, the Company is not responsible for loss occurring during those subsequent activities where they are not being performed as part of a Service contracted directly with the Company.

18.7

Where Goods are released to a Third-Party Mover or other person nominated by the Customer, that handover shall constitute handover to the Customer.

18.8

The Customer is responsible for ensuring that any person collecting Goods on their behalf is properly authorised.

18.9

The Company may require identification or written authorisation before releasing Goods.

18.10

The Customer or Authorised Representative may be asked to sign or electronically acknowledge:

  • collection;

  • inventory;

  • quantity of packages;

19.2

The Customer must not modify, damage, dismantle or tamper with Company storage equipment.

The Customer assumes responsibility for damage caused by inadequate packing, subject to applicable law.

23.3

The Company may decline to move a Customer-packed item that reasonably appears unsafe.

The Company is not responsible for deterioration or damage that existed before the Services commenced.

24.2

The Company may photograph or record the condition of Goods or premises before work begins.

27.4

Where insurance is provided by an independent insurer, claims remain subject to the insurer's policy terms.

IMPORTANT STORAGE COLLECTION ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

When collecting Goods from an 800 TRUCK Storage Facility, the Customer or the Customer's authorised collector is responsible for checking the Goods before departure.

Any apparent missing item or shortage should be reported to 800 TRUCK staff before the Goods leave the Facility.

Once Goods have been properly released to the Customer, an authorised representative or a Third-Party Mover selected by the Customer and have exited the Facility, 800 TRUCK cannot verify what happens during subsequent transport, unloading, handling or delivery and shall not be responsible for subsequent missing Goods or loss except where the Customer establishes that the relevant loss occurred while the Goods remained under 800 TRUCK's responsibility and liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

IMPORTANT THIRD-PARTY MOVER NOTICE

Where a Customer independently books or appoints another moving company, driver, transporter, courier or labour provider, that provider acts for the Customer and not for 800 TRUCK.

800 TRUCK is not responsible for loss, damage, theft, missing Goods, delays, accidents or other acts or omissions occurring while Goods are under the custody or control of such independently appointed third party, except to the extent required by applicable law.

Release of Goods to a mover, driver, courier or other collector properly authorised by the Customer constitutes release of the Goods to the Customer.
