4. MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL

A.

5. PRESSED BOARD

Particle board is made by mixing sawdust, wood chips, etc. with glue and pressing them into a board. The manufacturing process is inconsistent and not subject to measurable quality standards. Furniture manufactured with pressed-board is not intended to be moved regularly and over time construction begins to deteriorate, rendering the product brittle and prone to damage during movement. Office Movers Express cannot be held liable for any damages to pressed board/particle board furniture during the process of disassembly, movement, transportation or reassembly. We will move your goods with care and caution, however furniture constructed of this material is not subject to liability by Office Movers Express or covered by any level of valuation.

Office Movers Express is not required to assume liability for damage to painted walls, wallpaper or floors.

You are responsible for ensuring paint has cured for at least 5 days prior to move.

7. CRATE & EQUIPMENT RENTAL

If your proposal includes the use of moving crates, dollies, or other rental equipment, you will be responsible for the rental fees for the length of time these items are in your possession. There may be additional fees for multiple visits to your facility to remove these items after use. You will be responsible for any lost of missing items at the standard replacement rate.

E. The contractor has no entitlement and the project company has no liability for: (a) any costs, losses, expenses, damages or the payment of any part of the contract price during an event caused by an Act of God and (b) any delay costs in any way incurred by the contractor due to an event caused by an Act of God.”
