By signing this Binding Estimate for Services, customer is acknowledging and agreeing to the following:
As properly licensed interstate Broker, Payless Auto Shipping is not a motor carrier and will not transport, pack, or handle an individual shipper’s household goods, but will coordinate, recommend, and arrange for the transportation of household goods by an FMCSA authorized motor carrier, whose charges will be determined by its own published tariff. All estimated charges and final actual charges will be based upon the motor carrier’s tariff which is available for inspection from the carrier upon reasonable request. In acting as an interstate Broker, Payless Auto Shipping is not responsible for any acts or omissions of the motor carrier or its employees or agents. Shipper understands that they will enter into a contract (Bill of lading) with the carrier directly; Payless Auto Shipping is not a party to the contract for moving services (Bill of Lading). Shipper agrees to exclusively pursue the motor carrier directly for all claims for overcharges, property damage, including without limitation, any claims of damage to property, lost or stolen goods, delayed pickup or delivery, actions of estimators, drivers, packers, or movers, or other types of claims. It is the shipper’s sole decision to hire the recommended carrier or not. If prior to signing the bill of lading contract, you as the shipper, are not satisfied with the recommended carrier please notify the Broker so an alternate carrier can be recommended and dispatched. Note, that re-dispatching takes several days; this is why we strongly urge you to select a pick-up date which leaves you at least a two week cushion before you must vacate your home. This way if you need to have an alternate carrier dispatched you will have several weeks to reschedule a new pick-up date with an alternate carrier. Last minute pick-up dates are highly discouraged for this reason; please plan for all scheduling contingencies and do not schedule your pick-up date on a date right before you need to vacate your home.
PACKING YOUR GOODS
Packing services, materials, and unpacking services, are available at an additional charge and are only included in this estimate if the services are specifically listed on the services section of the estimate.
CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE
Some buildings require a certificate of insurance from the mover. Please check with your building management at both current and new locations regarding their requirements. Please notify your Relocation Specialist and we will be glad to assist you. Note: A fee may apply depending on building requirements.
PARKING RESTRICTIONS
Customers must confirm parking restrictions with the building/s management or local police department at both current and new locations in order for the carrier to avoid parking violations. If the truck physically or for reasons of parking restrictions cannot park close enough, Long Carrying or Shuttle Truck Service charges will apply and added to the original agreement.
FURNITURE TRANSPORTATION
The motor carrier requires that all drawers must be emptied prior to the day of move. Furniture with full drawers will not be transported due to high risk of damage to the actual furniture, premises walls and floors.
UTILITIES / APPLIANCES
Make sure that all of your utilities and appliances will be turned off and disassembled from electric, gas and water connections prior to the day of your move. The motor carrier will not disassemble or reassemble any utilities or appliances at both current and new locations on the day of your move-out or move-in.
VALUATION
The carrier provides two valuation options: Limited liability and full replacement value (FVP). Both plans cover furniture and boxes packed/unpacked by the carrier. We suggest you purchase third party insurance to protect your property. Please read carefully before making your selection. Subject to the minimum valuation of $0.60 per pound per article and in compliance with and subject to the provisions of 49 CFR Section 375.701(a), Carrier cannot control whether proper packing methods are used by shipper, therefore on boxes packed by the owner as well as pressed wood (particle board) furniture, fragile or brittle items such as glass, china, ornaments, etc.; liability is limited to $0.60 per pound per article. Carrier, or its representative, has the right to inspect and repair any alleged damage. Consumer shipper waives all claims against Carrier and Payless Auto Shipping for any damage to the interior or exterior of any residence including, but not limited to walls, floors, ceilings, stairs, banisters, carpets, plumbing, doorways, driveways, walkways, landscaping, etc. In addition, customer agrees and is not permitted to move and we will not accept, transport, or store and have no liability whatsoever for firearms, live plants, medicine, medical devices, alcohol of any kind, important financial or identity documentation, jewelry, cash, bank notes, any financial instruments, hazardous materials, pets, liquids or perishable items.
ESTIMATED PICK UP AND DELIVERY SCHEDULE
Each long-distance interstate moving customer will have different requirements as to a delivery timeframe. Some customers need their property delivered as quickly as possible and some customers may wish to wait several weeks, or months, before they receive their delivery. Accordingly, there are two delivery service options available; Premium Guaranteed Service and Standard Service. Pickup and delivery dates are not guaranteed unless the optional Premium Guaranteed Service (P.G.S.) is purchased. Standard Service (S.S.) period is up to a maximum of thirty business weekdays, not including storage time, beginning on the first date indicated as available for delivery (not the date of pickup). The date indicated as “1st available for delivery” is the first date of the delivery window and not the promised delivery date. Per diem delay rate is $30.00 (thirty dollars) per business weekday. Business days do not include holidays or weekends. Unless P.G.S. is purchased, the estimated delivery period is up to thirty business days from the date indicated as first available for delivery. All estimated times of arrivals are subject to change depending on many factors such as traffic, weather conditions, unforeseen mechanical problems or unexpected delays. Claims and liability for any pick-up or delivery delay claims are to be exclusively made against the motor carrier. The broker has no liability for the actions, omissions, delays in pick up or delivery by the motor carrier.
NEW BINDING ESTIMATES
If on the day of the scheduled pick-up “it appears an individual shipper has tendered additional household goods or requires additional services not identified in the binding estimate, [the mover is] not required to honor the estimate.” 49 CFR § 375.403(a)(6). However, if the Carrier wishes to service the shipment it must either (1) pickup and transport only the specific items and amount of cu.ft. itemized on this estimate without servicing / transporting the additional items of property. In this case the shipper would only be required to pay 100% of the binding estimate and the remaining balance will be billed after the 30 day deferment. Or (2) Carrier and shipper may execute a New Binding Estimate, in accordance with 49 CFR § 375.403(a)(6)(ii) PRIOR TO LOADING OR OTHERWISE BEGINNING THE JOB. This New Binding Estimate given prior to loading will serve as the only active estimate for which charges will be calculated. Warning: To avoid a scenario where a new estimate at a higher price is issued at the last minute on the date of pick up, it is imperative that customer provide the estimator with a complete and detailed itemization of each item to be moved. Leaving out any items to be moved or adding items at the last minute will result in a new estimate at a higher price on the date of pickup.
AGREED MANDATORY CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURISDICTION
If a lawsuit becomes necessary to resolve any dispute between Payless Auto Shipping, and shipper, said suit shall and must only be brought in circuit or county court in and for Palm Beach County, Florida. Suits involving disputes over interstate shipments must be limited to the governing federal law. Both parties agree to submit themselves to the jurisdiction of the Florida Courts and agree given the relationship to the state, such exercise is reasonable and lawful. Shipper consents to jurisdiction in Palm Beach County, Florida.

SUMMARY OF DISPUTE SETTLEMENT PROGRAM
Summary of dispute settlement program: The neutral arbitration program has been designed to give neither party any special advantage. If a dispute arises between Carrier and the shipper arbitration may be a mutually beneficial alternative to help resolve the dispute. Section 49 CFR Section 375.211 provides that a mover must have a program in place to provide shippers with an Arbitration alternative. Arbitration is optional and not required under Federal law. A. Summary of the arbitration process: Arbitration is an alternative to courtroom litigation. It provides each party to the dispute to present their cases and allows a neutral third party arbitrator to make decision as to the merits of each side’s case. Arbitration subject to this agreement shall be conducted via written submission and, subject to the arbitrator’s discretion, through telephonic appearance. After the initial filing fees have been paid and the arbitrator selected, the initiating party or “Claimant” must submit a written brief summarizing their legal position and factual claims. All supporting documentation must be included with the initial arbitration brief. Copies of all documents must be submitted to all parties involved in the arbitration. Upon receipt of the Claimant’s arbitration brief and supporting documents, the responding party or “Respondent” will have 30 days to file their responsive arbitration brief and supporting documentation. Further deadlines and timetables are subject to the arbitrator’s discretion. B. Legal effects: If the arbitration alternative is chosen, then any decision made by the arbitrator may be binding. Additionally, an arbitration decision may not be appealed in a court of law. All parties agree that the Arbitrators decision will be based exclusively on the governing United States Federal Law without regard to conflicting State laws or regulations. C. Applicable costs: Each party is responsible for their own costs associated with arbitration. A benefit to the arbitration alternative may be that it is less expensive than traditional litigation. Each party is responsible for 50% of the costs associated with securing the arbitrator and 100% of their own expenses, including but not limited to attorney fees. There is a $250 filing fee FOR EACH PARTY and a supplemental charge of $50 administration fee. Call carrier at phone number on front of this form for ADR processing forms.
