Storage coverage

TRUCKIN’ MOVERS CORPORATION STORAGE COVERAGE


Although Truckin’ Movers Corporation (TMC) will make every effort to handle your possessions with skill and care, loss or damage can occur. We offer three levels of storage protection for your goods.


Option 1. “Minimal Value” protection: We do not charge extra for this protection option. It pays at a

maximum rate of $0.60/lb per item, the amount contingent upon the weight of the lost or damaged items, or repair cost on same, whichever is less.


Option 2. “Depreciated Value” protection: This option will pay the full cost of repairing or replacing any lost or damaged article up to an amount equal to the current normal market price for comparable new replacements, less depreciation.


Option 3. “Replacement Value” protection: This option will pay the full cost of repairing or replacing any lost or damaged article up to an amount equal to the current normal market price for comparable new replacements.


There is a $250.00 deductible applicable to all options.


Should a fire occur, the free protection (Option 1) would not be extensive enough to cover a total loss situation. For this reason most of our customers choose to purchase either option two or three. Please be aware that you may be covered by only one of the three options.


THE FOLLOWING ARE NOT COVERED BY ANY OF THE THREE OPTIONS:


A. Loss or damage to documents, currency, money, jewelry, watches, art, precious stones, or articles valued at more than $100/lb., unless they are written up on a special “high value” inventory by Truckin’ Movers or its duly authorized agent with a written declaration of their values before they are handled.

B. Loss or damage from insects, moths, vermin, ordinary wear and tear and/or gradual deterioration, inherent vice, depreciation and/or delay, and changes in atmospheric conditions.

C. Loss or damage caused by breakage of fragile articles unless packed by Truckin’ Movers or its duly authorized agent and a charge is made and paid for such service; or unless such loss is directly caused by fire, collision, overturn, tornado, cyclone, windstorm, or flood; or unless packed in original unopened container, or unless those cartons clearly bear evidence of abusive or negligent handling and the contents of the carton have been adequately wrapped with cushioning material.

D. Furs or garments trimmed with fur.

E. Loss or damage as set forth in the War Risk Exclusion Clause or the Nuclear Exclusion Clause of typical insurance policies.

F. TMC is liable only for the item actually lost or damaged. Matched pieces, pairs or sets have no effect on the value of a settlement.

G. Spoilage of the contents of deep freezers, however caused.

H. The mechanical or electrical derangement of television sets, stereo components, computers, refrigerators, washing machines, etc., unless clearly caused by new external damage to the item.

I. The emotional or sentimental value of any object.

J. The stock in trade inventory of a business establish.

K. Truckin’ Movers personnel shall not drain waterbeds, remove mattresses or liners from standing waterbeds, or prepare mattresses or liners for storage and/or shipment. Nor shall TMC personnel reinstall mattress or liner at delivery. If asked to do so, TMC shall not assume responsibility for any damage that could occur to a mattress or liner.

L. Items that have been determined not safe to move by a TMC crew leader. Such an item will be listed on the paperwork by the crew leader and initialed by the customer or customer’s authorized representative. Such items are stored at customer’s own risk.

M. Loss or damage contributed to in any way by the customer or by customer-supplied helpers.


When figuring the cost for the damage protection that you select, please understand that YOU MUST PROTECT YOUR ENTIRE SHIPMENT FOR AT LEAST ITS “MINIMUM TOTAL VALUE”. The minimum total value (MTV) for options 2 and 3 are as follows:


Option 2 Depreciated: MTV = $1.25 of value per pound of weight. Option 3 Replacement: MTV = $4.00 of value per pound of weight.


If your shipment is not weighed, TMC will determine a weight for valuation purposes by multiplying the number of cubic feet your storage occupies by 6.5 lbs./cubic foot.


For either option, the rates are $0.20 per $100 of declared value.


Failure on the customer’s part to comply with the following will sacrifice customer’s right to collect on a claim:


A. Reporting damage to concealed items: Claims on damages to concealed items (in boxes) must be reported to TMC in writing within sixty days of the delivery date. TMC will need the inventory number along with the initials of the packer (located on the top of the carton).

B. Reporting lost items, or damage to unconcealed items: Any claims for missing items or on damages to unconcealed items (not in boxes) must be properly noted on the inventory forms and be signed by the delivering crewleader representing TMC and by the customer. The damage must also be reported by the customer to TMC’s Claims Officer within 96 hours of delivery.

C. Responsiveness during claims process: Should you have a claim resulting from your storage, and TMC requests information from you and you fail to respond within sixty days to that rerquest, your claim may be considered “stale”, resulting in forfeiture of your right to collect on the claim.


I, _______________________, choose to insure my goods as initialed below. If I leave the value space for my choice blank, TMC shall set the minimum total value for my goods as described above. If I write in a value for my shipment, I understand that it must be greater than or equal to the minimum total value or TMC will increase it to that value.

_____ Option 1. I agree to limit TMC’s liability to be not in excess of $0.60/lb. per item.

_____ Option 2. I agree to insure my goods for the total depreciated value of_________________.

_____ Option 3. I agree to insure my goods for the total replacement value of_________________.
