Terms and Conditions

MOVE Standard Terms of Service

 

Last Revised: October 6, 2024

​

Welcome to MOVE—the app from MOVE Companies USA, LLC ("MOVE," "we," "us," or "our") that connects you with third party vendors (each, a "moving partner") who will move your stuff wherever you want.

 

These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to your access and use of the mobile application (the "App"), website ("Site") and other online products and services (collectively, the "MOVE Platform") of MOVE.

 

Accepting these Terms

BY DOWNLOADING THE APP OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING THE MOVE PLATFORM, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS BELOW. Please read all of the terms before you use the MOVE Platform. If a term does not make sense to you, please let us know. If you don't agree to all of the terms below, you may not use the MOVE Platform.

 

Modifications

We reserve the right to change these Terms from time to time. For example, we may need to change these Terms if we come out with a new feature. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we will provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you an email notification). We encourage you to review these Terms periodically to stay informed about our practices.

Whenever we make changes to these Terms, they are effective when the revised Terms are posted unless we notify you otherwise. If you continue to use the MOVE Platform after the revised Terms have been posted, then you will be deemed to have accepted the changes to these Terms.

 

Privacy Policy

For information about how we collect, use and share information about users of the MOVE Platform, please see our Privacy Policy at www.moveusallc.com

 

Description of the MOVE Platform

Through the MOVE Platform, you can submit a request (a "Request") for a Moving partner to pick up the item(s) you specify (each, an "Item") for loading, unloading, moving, hauling, packing and lifting (the "Services"). You will receive price quote for the fee that will apply to completing your Request (the "Services Fee"). Once you submit the payment information for the Request, your Request will be sent out to our network of Moving partners. You will receive a notification through the MOVE Platform when a Moving partner has accepted your Request, and you will be able to communicate with that Moving partner through the MOVE Platform to confirm and coordinate certain logistics involved with completing your Request.

 

You represent and warrant that the Items related to any Request are your personal property and you have all right, title and permission to request and allow the loading, unloading, moving, packing, or lifting of any Items, and that the performance of the Services by a Moving partner will not result in the violation of any third party's ownership or privacy rights.

MOVE does not provide transportation services. MOVE is not a transportation carrier or a moving or hauling of Freight Carrier.  It is up to customers and moving partners to offer and provide the pickup carry and delivery services that may be scheduled through use of the Service.  MOVE has no responsibility or liability for any pick-up, carry or delivery services provide to you through the service.

Mobile Services

The app offers the Service via a mobile phone, tablet or other wireless device (“Mobile Services”).  Your mobile carrier’s normal messaging, data, and other rates and fees will apply to your use of the Mobile Services.  In addition, downloading, installing, or using certain Mobile Services may be prohibited or restricted by your mobile carrier, and not all Mobile Services may work with all carriers or devices.  Therefore, you are solely responsible for checking with your mobile carrier to determine if the Mobile Services are available for your mobile device(s), what restrictions, if any, may be applicable to your use of the Mobile Services, and how much they will cost you.  Nevertheless, all use of the App and the related Mobile Services must be in accordance with this Terms of Service.

 

Creating Accounts

When you create an account, you must maintain the security of your password and accept all risk that someone may access your account without your permission. If you discover or suspect any MOVE Platform security breaches, please let us know as soon as possible. You represent and warrant to us that all information that you provide in connection with your account is accurate, truthful, current and complete. MOVE reserves the right to deny any account at our discretion.

 

Payment for Services

You must provide credit card information to submit a Request. You are responsible for paying the applicable Services Fee for any completed Services. Once you submit a Request, we will place a temporary hold on the credit card account you provided in an amount equal to 100% of the applicable Services Fee. You agree to make all payments to the Moving partner through the MOVE Platform and will not pay any Moving partner in cash or means other than directly through the MOVE Platform.

 

Canceling a Request

If you cancel any Request: (a) before a Moving partner accepts it, or (b) after it has been accepted by a Moving partner but prior to the Moving partner initiating the Services to be performed, you will not be charged, and the hold will be lifted on your credit card. If you cancel after the initiation of the Services that are to be performed, your credit card account will be charged 20% of the applicable Services Fee.

 

Right to Use the MOVE Platform

On the condition that you fully comply with these Terms, MOVE grants you a limited, nonexclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to access and use the MOVE Platform for your own personal, non-commercial use. However, the App may only be used on mobile devices that you own or control. The terms of this license will also govern any upgrades provided by MOVE that replace and/or supplement the original App, unless the upgrade is accompanied by a separate license, in which case the terms of that license will govern.

Except as expressly authorized by these Terms, you may not (a) modify, disclose, alter, translate or create derivative works of the MOVE Platform, (b) license, sublicense, resell, distribute, lease, rent, lend, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of the MOVE Platform, (c) disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer any of the software components of the MOVE Platform, (d) copy, frame or mirror any part of the MOVE Platform, (e) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the MOVE Platform, or (f) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the MOVE Platform or its related systems or networks.

We do not represent or warrant that any Moving partner will meet your expectations or instructions in performing any Services. Any dispute that you may have regarding the performance of any Services, including any dispute related to the time, place, and manner of doing so, is between you and the applicable Moving partner. MOVE is not responsible for the replacement or repair of any of your personal property that may be damaged by a Moving partner while performing the Services.

Please report any suspected illegal or unethical behavior by a Moving partner during the performance of any Services to: customerservice@moveusallc.com

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM AND EXCLUDE ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, AND REPRESENTATIONS (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN), AND ALL OTHER TERMS WHICH MAY BE IMPLIED INTO THESE TERMS BY LAW, WITH RESPECT TO THE MOVE PLATFORM AND CONTENT INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE MOVE PLATFORM (INCLUDING REQUESTS) AND THE SERVICES PERFORMED BY MOVING PARTNERS.

Third Party Software

The software you download consists of a package of components, including certain third-party software provided under separate third-party license terms. Your use of this third-party software in conjunction with the App in a manner consistent with the terms of these Terms is permitted, however, you may have broader rights under the applicable third-party license terms, and nothing in these Terms is intended to impose further restrictions on your use of this third-party software.

Suspension and Termination

MOVE may suspend or terminate your rights to access or use the MOVE Platform (including the App) for any reason or for no reason at all and with or without notice at MOVE's discretion. Suspension or termination may include restricting access to and use of the App. All of the terms of these Terms (excluding the license grant) will survive any termination or suspension.

Governing Law; Arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH MOVE AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM MOVE.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia and the United States of America, without resort to any conflict of law provisions.

In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms or the MOVE Platform, you and MOVE agree to consult and negotiate with each other and, recognizing your mutual interests, try to reach a solution satisfactory to both parties. If we do not reach settlement within a period of 60 days, then either of us may, by notice to the other demand mediation under the mediation rules of the American Arbitration Association in Atlanta, Georgia. We both give up our right to litigate our disputes and may not proceed to arbitration without first trying mediation, but you and MOVE are NOT required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief from the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents. Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, you and MOVE will not commence against the other a class action, class arbitration or other representative action or proceeding.

If settlement is not reached within 60 days after service of a written demand for mediation, any unresolved controversy or claim will be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association before a single arbitrator in Atlanta, GA. The language of all proceedings and filings will be English. The arbitrator will render a written opinion including findings of fact and law and the award and/or determination of the arbitrator will be binding on the parties, and their respective administrators and assigns, and will not be subject to appeal. Judgment may be entered upon the award of the arbitrator in any court of competent jurisdiction. The expenses of the arbitration will be shared equally by the parties unless the arbitration determines that the expenses will be otherwise assessed and the prevailing party may be awarded its attorneys' fees and expenses by the arbitrator. It is the intent of the parties that, barring extraordinary circumstances, arbitration proceedings will be concluded within 90 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this time limit only if failure to do so would unduly prejudice the rights of the parties. Failure to adhere to this time limit will not constitute a basis for challenging the award. Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, pre-hearing information exchange will be limited to the reasonable production of relevant, non-privileged documents, carried out expeditiously.

For any disputes that are not handled by arbitration, you agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be filed only in the state and federal courts located in Atlanta, GA and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of these Terms or the use of the MOVE Platform.

 

General

Enforcement of these Terms is solely at MOVE's discretion. Failure to enforce any part of these Terms in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce the same or other part of these Terms in other instances. If any provision of these Terms is or becomes unlawful, void or otherwise unenforceable (including the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations above), then that provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect. The section headings of these Terms are for reference purposes only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of these Terms.

These Terms (and the other policies and terms referred to above) make up the entire agreement between you and us regarding the MOVE Platform and the Services, and they supersede any prior agreements that may have been made.
