MH AUTO TRANSPORT Standard Terms and Conditions
1. MH AUTO TRANSPORT agrees to have vehicle(s) described on quotation shipped on or about the requested dates. MH AUTO TRANSPORT will designate a reliable carrier (agent) to fulfill the terms and conditions of this agreement. MH AUTO TRANSPORT or its agents do not guarantee a specific pickup or delivery date.
2. MH AUTO TRANSPORT agrees to make all effort possible to provide the most adequate shipment of described vehicle(s) - in so far as they will not compromise its standard of safety or quality. The owner understands that ample notice of intent to ship is a primary contingency factor. The owner (or agent) and MH AUTO TRANSPORT also understand that any shipment, regardless of type of trucking, may be delayed due to adverse weather or road conditions, illness, mechanical breakdown of trucks, supply and demand for trucks and drivers, etc. IN ABSOLUTELY NO CASE WILL MH AUTO TRANSPORT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, OR REIMBURSE, CAR RENTAL EXPENSE.
3. This order is subject to all terms and conditions of the carrier's straight bills of lading, copies of which are available at the office of carrier and are incorporated herein.
4. Carrier's responsibility begins when the shipper (or his agent) signs the bill of lading at pickup, and terminates when the shipper (or his agent) signs the bill of lading at delivery. MH AUTO TRANSPORT must be notified, should the shipper be unavailable for pickup or delivery, and his agent must be designated at that time.
5. MH AUTO TRANSPORT hereby notifies shipper that their vehicle will be driven on and off the transporter, or to and from the transporter at the pickup or delivery site. Should the carrier be unable to access either site, this does not relieve the consignee from making a reasonable effort to meet the truck at a suitable location.
6. All vehicles to be delivered with a balance due shall be paid by CASH, MONEY ORDER or CASHIER’S CHECK ONLY (US funds). Should delivery be attempted after attempted notification (3 to 24 hours voice notification to phone numbers provided by shipper) and shipper (or his agent) does not have proper funds or is unavailable to receive delivery, vehicle(s) may be taken to and left at the nearest terminal at the discretion of the carrier, where shipper will have to retrieve and pay for storage or redelivery fees.
7. MH AUTO TRANSPORT does not guarantee transport by any specific driver/carrier. Primary Insurance for your vehicle(s) is provided by the carrier assigned to your move. As a broker MH AUTO TRANSPORT is restricted by law from providing Primary Insurance for your move.
8. If you are shipping an inoperable vehicle, you may be required to help load and unload said vehicle at the discretion of the driver. Should vehicle(s) become inoperable during transport, $200.00 will be due at time of delivery in addition to any other moneys owed. It is shipper's responsibility to make sure vehicle is in proper working order.
9. MH AUTO TRANSPORT or its agents will not knowingly transport vehicles with personal or household items in the passenger or trunk compartment. Federal regulation prohibits MH AUTO TRANSPORT or its agents from doing so. If such items are shipped unbeknownst to MH AUTO TRANSPORT or its agents, such items become the sole responsibility of the shipper. Should damage occur or fines are levied, said fines or damage are shipper’s responsibility.
10. MH AUTO TRANSPORT or its agents will not be responsible for vandalism, acts of God (fire, flooding, hail, sand storm, tornadoes, and earthquakes) or objects flying from the road or sky during transport. Shippers should maintain their own insurance for these reasons.
11. Shipper is responsible for preparing the vehicle(s) for transport: all loose parts, fragile or protruding accessories, low hanging spoilers, fog lights, antennas, etc., must be removed and/or properly secured. Any part that falls off in transit is shipper's responsibility, including damages done by said part to any and all vehicles involved.
12. If damage should occur, all moneys owed for transport must be paid to initiate a claim. Damage must be noted in the proper place on the bill of lading, and signed by driver and shipper, regardless of weather, or time of day. Signing the bill of lading without any notation of damage verifies that shipper or his agent has received the said vehicle in good condition, and that MH AUTO TRANSPORT and its agents are relieved of any further responsibility. Shipper or his agent MUST check vehicle thoroughly.
13. MH AUTO TRANSPORT and its agents must also be notified of any damage by phone within 24 hours. Shipper must submit in writing a description of damage, clear pictures, and 2 estimates within 10 days of receipt of said vehicle directly to the designated carrier for any resolution to be initiated. MH AUTO TRANSPORT will support you in this effort should such a problem occur, but in no way will MH AUTO TRANSPORT accept responsibility for any negligence of the assigned carrier. If your vehicle is valued at a higher than market rate, we suggest you purchase a special insurance rider.
14. Any claim or controversy arising from or relating to this agreement, or the performance or breach thereof, shall be subject to the jurisdiction of Clackamas County, Oregon City, Oregon. Shipper specifically waives any right to have this matter resolved at any other location. MH AUTO TRANSPORT Logistics can only be liable for up to the amount of the deposit located on your quotation. In no case can MH AUTO TRANSPORT be held liable for the designated carrier's damage. MH AUTO TRANSPORT will provide carriers insurance certificate and carrier information should any controversy arise.
15. Refund/Cancellation Policy: If the shipper decides to cancel for any reason, you will receive a full refund. All refunds will be processed in 30 days.
16. MH AUTO TRANSPORT is a licensed and bonded Property Broker. We are responsible for booking the shipment of cars with a licensed and insured Motor Carrier Corporation, who handle their own damage claims. It may take a few weeks to process your claim, since the drivers must return to their terminals with the original Bill of Lading condition reports.
17. MH AUTO TRANSPORT will not be responsible for demurrage at any Port Facilities.
18. By either submitting your order online, sending us your order by fax or by email, MH AUTO TRANSPORT understands you are placing your order and accept the terms and conditions (in lieu of your signature) found here and on MH AUTO TRANSPORT web site.
19. Customers must make their vehicle available during the transport time; if the vehicle becomes unavailable at any time after the order has been placed and a carrier has been assigned, MH AUTO TRANSPORT holds the right to cancel the order with full refund.
