Important legal notice
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE REQUESTING, BOOKING, PURCHASING, OR AUTHORIZING MOVING SERVICES.
These Nationwide Terms and Conditions of Moving Services contain legally binding provisions governing estimates, reservations, deposits, cancellations, payment obligations, chargebacks, valuation protection, limitations of liability, claims, arbitration, storage, prohibited property, access conditions, electronic communications, and dispute resolution.
For interstate household-goods moves, these Terms do not replace the written Estimate, Order for Service, Inventory, Bill of Lading, Valuation Election, High-Value Inventory, arbitration disclosure, tariff, or other document required by federal law. Those documents, together with these Terms, constitute the complete transportation agreement.
Full Value Protection is a contractual valuation arrangement establishing the mover’s financial responsibility for covered loss or damage. Full Value Protection is not an insurance policy.
These Nationwide Terms and Conditions of Moving Services, referred to as the “Terms,” constitute an agreement between Boxed Global, Inc., doing business as Boxed Movers and/or Boxed Moving, referred to as “Boxed,” “Boxed Movers,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” and the person or entity requesting, booking, purchasing, authorizing, receiving, or paying for services, referred to as the “Customer,” “Shipper,” “you,” or “your.”
You accept and agree to be legally bound by these Terms when you:
- Request or accept an Estimate, proposal, quote, reservation, or confirmation; 2. Sign or electronically accept an Order for Service, Moving Services Contract, Bill of Lading, work order, inventory, valuation election, or related document; 3. Pay a deposit, reservation fee, transportation charge, or other amount; 4. Authorize Boxed Movers to begin performing services; 5. Tender property to Boxed Movers or a participating carrier, agent, warehouse, or service provider; 6. Use the Boxed Movers website, customer portal, payment system, GPS tracking platform, or electronic communications system; or 7. Otherwise indicate acceptance electronically, verbally, or in writing, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
The person accepting these Terms represents and warrants that the person:
- Is at least eighteen years of age; 2. Has legal authority to enter into the agreement; 3. Has authority over the property being moved; 4. Has authority to authorize all requested services; 5. Has authority to approve charges and payment methods; and 6. Has provided complete and accurate information to Boxed Movers.

3. Controlling documents and order of precedence
A move may be governed by multiple documents. Collectively, those documents constitute the complete agreement between Boxed Movers and the Customer.
If a conflict exists, the documents will control in the following order, unless applicable law requires a different result:
- Applicable federal or state law; 2. The signed Bill of Lading or Moving Services Contract; 3. The signed Valuation Election; 4. The signed High-Value Inventory; 5. The signed Estimate, proposal, or Order for Service; 6. Written change orders and service amendments; 7. The applicable published tariff; 8. A storage agreement or warehouse receipt; 9. These Terms; and 10. Other written reservation confirmations or communications.
No advertisement, website statement, salesperson representation, telephone discussion, text message, email, social-media communication, or oral statement modifies the agreement unless the modification is documented in writing and accepted by both the Customer and an authorized Boxed Movers representative.
4. Boxed movers’ capacity
The move-specific documents will identify whether Boxed Movers is acting as:
- The motor carrier transporting the shipment; 2. A household-goods broker arranging transportation; 3. An authorized agent of another motor carrier; 4. A freight forwarder, where applicable; 5. A provider of labor-only services; or 6. A provider of ancillary relocation services.
When Boxed Movers is the transporting carrier, the Bill of Lading and other move-specific documents will contain the carrier information required by applicable law.
When another authorized motor carrier participates in the transportation, the participating carrier’s identity and required registration information will be disclosed as required by law.
When Boxed Movers acts solely as a broker, Boxed Movers does not take possession of the shipment and does not represent itself as the transporting carrier.

6. Reservations, deposits, cancellations, and rescheduling
6.1 Reservation Confirmation
A requested date, preliminary quote, or consultation does not reserve a
crew, vehicle, equipment, or service date.
A reservation becomes effective only after:
-
Boxed Movers issues written confirmation;
-
The Customer signs or accepts the required documents;
-
The Customer pays any required deposit or reservation fee; and
-
Boxed Movers confirms the reservation.
6.2 Deposits
Any required deposit will be disclosed in writing and applied to the
Customer’s account as stated in the applicable Estimate or reservation
confirmation.
A deposit is not an Estimate and does not limit the lawful charges for
services actually performed.
6.3 Interstate Rescission Rights
When required by applicable federal law, Boxed Movers will provide the
interstate Bill of Lading to the Customer for signature at least three days
before the scheduled loading date.
The Customer may rescind the Bill of Lading without penalty during the
applicable three-day period.
Nothing in these Terms limits any cancellation, rescission, or refund right
that cannot legally be waived.
6.4 General Cancellation Policy
Unless a different cancellation policy is stated in the signed Estimate, reservation confirmation, or move-specific agreement:
-
A cancellation received more than seven calendar days before the first scheduled service date will be eligible for a refund of the deposit, less nonrefundable third-party expenses specifically incurred for the move.
-
A cancellation received between three and seven calendar days before the first scheduled service date may result in Boxed Movers retaining all or part of the deposit to cover reasonable administrative, scheduling, equipment, labor-reservation, and third-party costs. 3. A cancellation received less than seventy-two hours before the first scheduled service date may result in the deposit becoming nonrefundable. 4. A same-day cancellation, refusal of service, denial of access, or Customer no-show may result in charges for reserved labor, travel, mobilization, equipment, permits, third-party services, and documented expenses. 5. Cancellation charges will not exceed the amount permitted by applicable law or the move-specific agreement.
6.5 Rescheduling
A rescheduling request is subject to crew, equipment, vehicle, and transportation availability.
Boxed Movers may apply the cancellation policy when a move is rescheduled on short notice.
A change in the service date, location, scope, labor requirement, or transportation arrangement may result in a change in price.
7. Pricing and additional charges
The Customer agrees to pay all lawful charges described in the applicable Estimate, tariff, proposal, Bill of Lading, work order, change order, or other written agreement.

8. Payment terms
8.1 Payment obligation
The Customer is responsible for all lawful charges associated with the move, even when another person, employer, relocation company, insurance company, property owner, landlord, business, or third party has agreed to pay.
Unless Boxed Movers expressly releases the Customer in writing, the Customer remains jointly and severally responsible with any third-party payer.
8.2 Accepted Payment Methods
Boxed Movers may accept:
- Credit cards; 2. Debit cards; 3. Certified checks; 4. Cashier’s checks; 5. Electronic funds transfers; 6. ACH transfers; 7. Wire transfers; 8. Cash when legally permitted; and 9. Other payment methods approved by Boxed Movers.
Boxed Movers may refuse personal checks unless approved in advance.
8.3 Interstate Payment at Delivery
For interstate household-goods moves:
-
Under a binding Estimate, the Customer may be required to pay up to 100 percent of the binding Estimate at delivery, together with additional lawful charges permitted under federal law. 2. Under a non-binding Estimate, the Customer may be required to pay up to 110 percent of the non-binding Estimate at delivery, together with other charges that federal law permits to be collected at that time.
-
Remaining lawful charges may be invoiced after delivery as permitted by law. 4. Boxed Movers will relinquish possession when the Customer tenders the amount legally required for delivery.
8.4 Payment Authorization
The Customer authorizes Boxed Movers, Swipeify Payments, and their respective payment-processing providers to charge the payment method supplied by the Customer for:
- Deposits; 2. Reservation fees; 3. Authorized moving services; 4. Packing and materials; 5. Transportation charges; 6. Valuation charges; 7. Approved change orders; 8. Storage charges; 9. Redelivery charges; 10. Returned-payment fees; 11. Unpaid balances; 12. Other amounts expressly authorized by the Customer; and 13. Other lawful charges identified in the moving agreement.
The Customer represents that the Customer is an authorized user of every payment method provided.
8.5 Chargebacks, Payment Reversals, and Theft of Service
A credit-card dispute, debit-card dispute, ACH reversal, stop-payment request, payment recall, or chargeback is not a substitute for the contractual claims, billing-dispute, arbitration, or legal process.
The Customer must not knowingly submit or assist with a false, fraudulent, deceptive, or materially misleading chargeback concerning services that were properly authorized and performed.
Examples of potentially improper chargeback conduct include:
-
Claiming that a transaction was unauthorized after signing the moving agreement or supplying the payment method;
-
Claiming that services were never performed when GPS records, inventories, photographs, communications, signatures, or delivery records establish performance;
-
Reversing payment after accepting delivery without presenting a good-faith billing or service dispute;
-
Misrepresenting the agreed price, services, authorization, or transaction history to a bank or card issuer;
-
Filing duplicate disputes;
-
Coordinating with another person to obtain moving services without paying;
-
Concealing signed documents, electronic approvals, or evidence of delivery;
-
Using a chargeback to avoid the claims procedure for alleged property loss or damage;
-
Disputing the entire transaction when only a specific portion is genuinely contested; or
-
Initiating a chargeback with the intent to retain the benefit of completed services without paying for those services.
Where Texas law applies, intentional or knowing conduct designed to obtain compensable moving services while avoiding payment may constitute theft of service under Texas Penal Code § 31.04.
Texas Penal Code § 31.04 may apply when a person intentionally or knowingly obtains services by agreeing to provide compensation and, after the services are rendered, fails to make full payment after receiving a legally sufficient written demand for payment.
Subject to the requirements and defenses established by Texas law, intent to avoid payment may be presumed when a person fails to make payment under a service agreement within ten days after receiving a qualifying written notice demanding payment.
A chargeback, reversal, delayed payment, complaint, or contractual disagreement does not automatically constitute theft of service. Criminal intent must be determined from the facts, evidence, and applicable law. Nothing in these Terms is intended to discourage or punish a legitimate,
good-faith billing dispute, consumer complaint, property-damage claim, or exercise of a legally protected right. By accepting services, the Customer authorizes Boxed Movers, Swipeify Payments, and their respective payment providers, acting within their lawful and contractual capacities, to investigate and vigorously contest any chargeback or payment reversal that Boxed Movers reasonably believes is false, fraudulent, inaccurate, deceptive, or unsupported. Boxed Movers and Swipeify Payments may provide the bank, card issuer, card network, payment processor, collection agency, attorney, court, regulator, or law-enforcement agency with relevant evidence, including:
-
Signed contracts;
-
Electronic signatures;
-
Payment authorizations;
-
Estimates;
-
Bills of Lading;
-
Inventories;
-
Change orders;
-
Invoices;
-
Receipts;
-
GPS records;
-
Vehicle-location data;
-
Arrival and departure timestamps;
-
Photographs;
-
Videos;
-
Telephone recordings obtained lawfully;
-
Emails;
-
Text messages;
-
Customer-portal records;
-
Internet Protocol address information;
-
Device records;
-
Delivery confirmations;
-
Employee and witness statements;
-
Building-access records;
-
Security-camera records;
-
Proof of service;
-
Proof of delivery;
-
Claims correspondence; and
-
Other evidence relating to the transaction.
Boxed Global, Inc. and Swipeify Payments will vigorously protect their respective contractual, financial, and legal rights and may pursue all lawful remedies, including:
-
Chargeback representment;
-
Pre-arbitration and card-network proceedings;
-
Payment-demand notices;
-
Recovery of the unpaid balance;
-
Collection-agency referral;
-
Attorney referral;
-
Civil litigation;
-
Recovery of court costs;
-
Recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees where authorized;
-
Recovery of collection expenses where authorized;
-
Enforcement of lawful lien rights;
-
Fraud reporting to payment processors and financial institutions;
-
Regulatory complaints;
-
Reporting suspected criminal conduct to law enforcement; and
-
Cooperation with any resulting investigation or prosecution.
Where reliable evidence supports a good-faith belief that a Customer intentionally obtained services through deception or intentionally avoided payment after receiving the legally required demand, Boxed Movers may submit the matter to the appropriate police department, sheriff’s office, district attorney, prosecuting authority, or other governmental agency for investigation under Texas Penal Code § 31.04 or another applicable law.
Neither Boxed Global, Inc. nor Swipeify Payments independently determines whether criminal charges will be filed. The decision to investigate, arrest, charge, prosecute, dismiss, or resolve a criminal matter belongs exclusively to the appropriate law-enforcement agencies and prosecuting authorities.
Payment of an amount after referral does not require Boxed Movers or Swipeify Payments to withdraw truthful information already provided to a bank, regulator, law-enforcement agency, prosecutor, attorney, or court. Any correction or supplemental report will be made when legally appropriate and factually accurate.
8.6 Billing Disputes
The Customer must promptly notify Boxed Movers of any billing concern by contacting:
Boxed Movers Billing Department
14110 Dallas Parkway, Suite 240 Dallas, Texas 75254 Telephone: (469) 663-2424 Email: hello@CallBoxed.com
The notice should identify:
- The Customer’s name;
- The move date;
- The invoice or move number;
- The amount disputed;
- The specific reason for the dispute; and
- Supporting documentation.
The Customer must pay all undisputed amounts when due.
8.7 Collection Costs
To the extent permitted by law, the Customer is responsible for reasonable collection costs, court costs, filing fees, service fees, investigation expenses, and attorneys’ fees incurred to collect an unpaid and legally enforceable balance.
9. Pickup and delivery scheduling
9.1 Scheduling Windows
Pickup and delivery dates may be stated as:
-
A confirmed date;

-
A delivery spread;

A non-guaranteed estimated date;

Unless the move-specific agreement expressly identifies a service as guaranteed, all dates and times are good-faith estimates.

Boxed Movers is not responsible for:
-
Internal mechanical failure without external physical damage;

Boxed Movers does not connect gas lines, plumbing, hardwired electrical systems, or regulated equipment unless the work is performed by a properly qualified professional under a written agreement.
19. Ready-to-assemble and engineered-wood furniture
Furniture made from particleboard, pressboard, fiberboard, laminate, engineered wood, or ready-to-assemble materials may weaken after assembly and may not withstand disassembly, reassembly, or transportation.
Boxed Movers may:
- Require the Customer to disassemble the item;
- Require a written acknowledgment of increased risk;
- Decline to disassemble or reassemble the item;
- Decline to transport the item while assembled; or
- Recommend replacement rather than transportation.
Any limitation will be applied consistently with the selected valuation option and applicable law.
20. Oversized, heavy, or difficult items
The Customer must disclose any item that:
- Weighs more than 300 pounds;
- Requires more than ordinary manual handling;
- Exceeds door, hallway, stairway, or elevator clearance;
- Requires hoisting, rigging, machinery, or structural modification;
- Has an unusual center of gravity;
- Is permanently installed;
- May damage flooring because of concentrated weight; or
- Requires specialized expertise.
Boxed Movers may require additional labor, equipment, crating, specialty services, or a written acknowledgment of known risks.
Boxed Movers is not obligated to:
-
Force an item through an opening;
-
Remove windows;
-
Remove doors;
-
Remove railings;
-
Remove fixtures;
-
Modify structural components; or
-
Perform work creating an unreasonable risk of injury or damage.
21. Inventory and condition reports
When an inventory is required, Boxed Movers will prepare or provide an inventory identifying the property and its apparent external condition.
The Customer must:
-
Review the inventory before loading;
-
Identify disagreements;
-
Note high-value property;
-
Confirm the number of pieces;
-
Retain a copy; and
-
Sign only after reviewing the document.
Inventory condition codes describe apparent external condition and do not constitute an appraisal, warranty, or inspection of internal operation.
22. Full value protection
22.1 Default Interstate Valuation
For interstate residential household-goods moves, Boxed Movers will include Full Value Protection in the initial Estimate unless the Customer validly waives Full Value Protection and selects Released Value in the manner required by federal law.
22.2 Nature of Full Value Protection
Full Value Protection is a contractual valuation arrangement establishing Boxed Movers’ maximum financial responsibility for covered loss or damage.
It is not an insurance policy and does not provide all-risk insurance coverage.
22.3 Declared Shipment Value
The shipment’s declared value will be identified in the Estimate, Bill of Lading, or Valuation Election. Unless a higher value is declared, the minimum declared value for an interstate shipment will be the amount required by applicable federal law, the current released-rates order, and the governing tariff. The Customer may declare a higher shipment value and pay the corresponding additional charge.
22.4 Deductible
A deductible may apply if clearly stated in the Estimate, tariff, Bill of Lading, or Valuation Election. No deductible will apply unless disclosed before loading and accepted by the Customer.
22.5 Settlement Options
For covered loss or damage under Full Value Protection, Boxed Movers may elect to:
-
Repair the damaged article;
-
Pay the reasonable cost of repair;
-
Replace a lost, destroyed, or irreparable article with an article of like kind and quality;
-
Pay the reasonable replacement cost of an article of like kind and quality; or
-
Offer another lawful settlement accepted by the Customer.
Boxed Movers retains the right to select the repair professional, replacement source, or settlement method, subject to applicable law.
22.6 Maximum Liability
Boxed Movers’ total liability will not exceed:
-
The declared value of the shipment;
-
The declared value of a specific high-value article;
-
A lawful limitation applicable to an undisclosed extraordinary-value article;
-
The applicable deductible; and
-
Other lawful limitations contained in the tariff and signed moving documents.
Full Value Protection does not create unlimited liability.
23. Released value
The Customer may waive Full Value Protection for an interstate household-goods shipment only by completing the valuation election required by federal law.
When validly selected, Released Value generally limits carrier liability to $0.60 per pound per article.
For example, the maximum liability for a 50-pound article would generally be $30.00, regardless of its purchase price or replacement cost.
Released Value is provided without an additional valuation charge but offers substantially less protection than Full Value Protection.
Boxed Movers will not treat silence, an unsigned form, or an incomplete valuation election as a valid waiver when an affirmative written waiver is legally required.
24. Valuation exclusions and limitations
To the extent permitted by law and the selected valuation option, Boxed Movers is not responsible for loss or damage caused by:
-
Inherent vice;
-
Latent or concealed defects;
-
Natural deterioration;
-
Ordinary wear and tear;
-
Normal vibration or shifting;
-
Atmospheric conditions;
-
Temperature changes;
-
Humidity changes;
-
Mold;
-
Mildew;
-
Rust;
-
Oxidation;
-
Corrosion;
-
Condensation not caused by actionable conduct;
-
Insects;
-
Rodents;
-
Infestation;
-
Improper Customer packing;
-
Customer loading;
-
Customer unloading;
-
Customer-packed containers without evidence of external mishandling;
-
Mechanical derangement without external damage;
-
Electrical derangement without external damage;
-
Preexisting damage;
-
Structural weakness;
-
Previously repaired property;
-
Defective design or construction;
-
Customer acts or omissions;
-
Failure to disclose special handling requirements;
-
Prohibited property;
-
Hazardous property;
-
Government seizure;
-
Quarantine;
-
Legal process;
-
War;
-
Terrorism;
-
Civil unrest;
-
Nuclear events;
-
Acts of God;
-
Force majeure;
-
Data loss;
-
Software corruption;
-
Sentimental value;
-
Lost market opportunities;
-
Lost business income;
-
Consequential damages, except where prohibited by law; or
-
Property outside Boxed Movers’ custody and control.
No exclusion applies to the extent prohibited by law.
25. Sets, pairs, collections, and matching property
When a damaged article is part of a pair, set, suite, collection, or matching group, Boxed Movers’ responsibility will be limited to the reasonable repair, replacement, or value of the individual damaged article, together with any legally compensable reduction in value of the remaining property.
Boxed Movers is not automatically responsible for replacing undamaged property solely because an exact color, finish, pattern, model, age, or material match is unavailable.
26. Salvage rights
When Boxed Movers pays the full replacement value of an article or replaces
it, Boxed Movers may take possession of the damaged article.
The Customer must not discard, sell, alter, repair, or surrender claimed
property before Boxed Movers has had a reasonable opportunity to inspect it
and exercise any salvage rights.
If the Customer retains the damaged article, a settlement may be reduced
by its reasonable salvage value.
27. Damage to residences and other premises
The Customer should inspect floors, walls, doors, stairways, railings, elevators, driveways, lawns, and other premises before the crew leaves.
Observed property damage should be immediately reported to the crew leader and documented with photographs.
Prompt notice allows Boxed Movers to investigate and mitigate damage. A request for prompt notice does not shorten a nonwaivable legal claim period.
For covered premises damage, Boxed Movers may:
- Arrange a localized repair; 2. Pay the reasonable cost of a localized repair; 3. Restore the affected area to a reasonably comparable condition; or 4. Offer another lawful settlement.
Boxed Movers does not guarantee an exact color, finish, texture, grain, pattern, age, weathering, or material match.
Boxed Movers is not responsible for damage resulting from:
- Inadequate structural support; 2. Hidden pipes; 3. Hidden wiring; 4. Hidden utilities; 5. Weak or cracked surfaces; 6. Deteriorated surfaces; 7. Improperly installed surfaces; 8. Customer-directed placement on unsuitable ground; 9. Undisclosed septic systems; 10. Undisclosed irrigation systems; 11. Undisclosed soft pavement; 12. Undisclosed underground structures; 13. Undisclosed landscaping conditions; or 14. Failure to obtain required permission.
28. Delivery, inspection, and acceptance
At delivery, the Customer must:
-
Be present or appoint an authorized representative; 2. Compare delivered property to the inventory; 3. Inspect for visible damage; 4. Note missing or damaged articles on the delivery documents; 5. Direct property placement; 6. Confirm completion; and
-
Pay the amount lawfully due.
A delivery signature confirms receipt of the shipment. It does not automatically waive a timely claim for concealed loss or damage.
Failure to note visible damage may be considered when evaluating when and how damage occurred but does not eliminate a nonwaivable legal right.
29. Claims procedure
29.1 Immediate Notice
The Customer should report suspected loss or damage as soon as reasonably possible.
Immediate notice does not replace a formal written claim and does not shorten a nonwaivable legal claim period.
29.2 Formal Written Claim
A formal claim must:
-
Be submitted in writing;
-
Identify the Customer;
-
Identify the shipment;
-
Include the move or Bill of Lading number;
-
Identify each lost or damaged article;
-
Describe the alleged loss or damage;
-
Assert that Boxed Movers is responsible;
-

-
Include photographs when available;
-
Include proof of ownership and value;
-
Include repair estimates, receipts, appraisals, or replacement documentation when reasonably requested; and
-
Be delivered to the claims address or email listed below.
A notation on a delivery receipt, standing alone, may not constitute a formal written claim.
29.3 Interstate Claims Deadline
A written claim concerning an interstate shipment must be filed within nine months after delivery. If delivery was not made, the claim must be filed within nine months after a reasonable time for delivery has elapsed. Any civil action concerning a disallowed interstate cargo claim must be filed within two years and one day after Boxed Movers provides written notice that the claim, or part of the claim, has been disallowed, unless a longer period applies.
29.4 Texas Intrastate Claims
Claims involving a Texas intrastate household-goods move must be filed within the period required by applicable Texas law and the Texas Moving Services Contract. The Texas move-specific agreement will contain the claims disclosures required by Texas law.
29.5 Other Intrastate Claims
For transportation occurring entirely within another state, the claims deadline and procedure required by that state’s law and the move-specific agreement will apply. Nothing in these Terms shortens a mandatory claim period.
29.6 Inspection and Preservation
The Customer must:
-
Preserve the property;
-
Preserve packing materials;
-
Take reasonable steps to prevent additional damage;
-
Permit a reasonable inspection;
-
Avoid repairs or disposal before inspection unless necessary to prevent additional damage; and
-
Provide reasonably requested supporting information.
29.7 Claim Resolution
Boxed Movers may:
- Investigate the claim;
- Inspect the property;
- Request documentation;
- Obtain repair estimates;
- Arrange repairs;
- Replace covered property;
- Offer a settlement;
- Partially allow a claim; or
- Deny a claim.
Payment of transportation charges and the claims process are separate obligations. The Customer must pay undisputed transportation charges when due.
29.8 Claims Contact
Claims must be submitted to:
Boxed Movers Claims Department Boxed Global, Inc. 14110 Dallas Parkway, Suite 240 Dallas, Texas 75254 Telephone: (469) 663-2424 Email: hello@CallBoxed.com Website: <u>www.CallBoxed.com</u>
30. Interstate arbitration program
Boxed Movers will maintain or participate in a neutral arbitration program for interstate individual shippers concerning:
- Property loss and damage disputes; and
- Disputes involving additional carrier charges billed after delivery.
Before execution of the Bill of Lading, Boxed Movers will provide a separate summary explaining:
-
The arbitration procedure;
-
Applicable costs;
-
How to request arbitration;
-
The legal effect of selecting arbitration; and
-
The identity of the arbitration administrator.
The Customer will not be required to agree to arbitration before a dispute arises.
When arbitration is requested after a dispute arises:
-
Arbitration will be binding for a claim of $10,000 or less;
-
Arbitration for a claim exceeding $10,000 will be binding only if both parties agree;
-
The Customer will not be charged more than one-half of the cost of initiating arbitration; and
-
Arbitration will otherwise comply with applicable federal law.
This section does not eliminate the Customer’s right to pursue litigation when federal law permits the Customer to decline arbitration.
31. Complaints and customer inquiries
Customer-service complaints and inquiries may be submitted to:
Boxed Movers Customer Care
Boxed Global, Inc. 14110 Dallas Parkway, Suite 240 Dallas, Texas 75254
Telephone: (469) 663-2424 Email: hello@CallBoxed.com Website: <u>www.CallBoxed.com</u>
A complaint is not automatically a formal cargo claim. A Customer seeking financial compensation for loss or damage must also follow the formal claims procedure.
32. Storage-in-transit
When storage-in-transit is included, the Estimate or Bill of Lading will identify, when applicable:
-
The storage period;
-
The warehouse location;
-
Storage charges;
-
Handling charges;
-
Redelivery charges;
-
Applicable valuation terms; and
-
The date storage-in-transit expires or converts to permanent storage.
If the Customer cannot accept delivery, Boxed Movers may place the shipment into storage when authorized by law and the transportation agreement.
The Customer is responsible for lawful storage, handling, warehouse, and redelivery charges resulting from the Customer’s inability or refusal to accept delivery.
33. Conversion to permanent storage
When storage-in-transit converts to permanent storage:
-
Boxed Movers will provide any notice required by law;
-
Carrier liability may terminate as provided by law and the applicable tariff;
-
The warehouse’s rules, rates, lien rights, and liability terms may apply;
-
The property may be placed into storage in the Customer’s name; and
-
A separate warehouse receipt or storage agreement may govern.
The Customer must keep all contact and payment information current.
34. Warehouse and carrier liens
To the extent permitted by law, Boxed Movers and any lawful warehouse provider may possess a lien on transported or stored property for unpaid:
-
Transportation charges;
-
Packing charges;
-
Handling charges;
-
Storage charges;
-
Redelivery charges;
-
Accessorial charges; and
-
Related lawful expenses.
Any retention, storage, sale, or disposition of property will be conducted only
in accordance with applicable federal and state law.
Boxed Movers will not withhold an interstate shipment when the Customer
tenders the amount legally required for delivery.
35. Commercial moves
Commercial moves may involve office furniture, equipment, inventory,
records, fixtures, machinery, technology, and other business property.
Unless expressly incorporated into a commercial agreement, federal
household-goods consumer regulations applicable to individual residential
shippers may not apply.
For commercial moves:

The Customer must identify critical, regulated, fragile, or high-value property;

The Customer must identify confidential, regulated, or legally protected records;

Third-party charges will be disclosed when reasonably available.
When a third party contracts directly with the Customer, the third party’s contract and liability terms will govern its services.
37. GPS tracking
Boxed Movers may provide GPS or electronic shipment tracking as a customer convenience.
Tracking information may be delayed, approximate, interrupted, inaccurate, or temporarily unavailable because of:
-
Cellular coverage;
-
Satellite availability;
-
Device failure; 4. Battery failure; 5. Software maintenance; 6. Data-transmission delays; 7. Security restrictions; 8. Equipment substitution; 9. Driver hours-of-service requirements; or 10. Other technical or operational conditions.
GPS tracking is not a guaranteed delivery service, continuous surveillance service, or security system.
A temporary loss of tracking does not establish that a shipment is lost, delayed, stolen, or outside Boxed Movers’ custody.
38. Photographs, video, and electronic records
Boxed Movers may photograph, record, or electronically document:
- Property condition; 2. Packing; 3. Inventory; 4. Loading; 5. Unloading; 6. Access conditions; 7. Property damage; 8. Vehicle condition; 9. Delivery; 10. Signatures; 11. GPS information; 12. Customer instructions; 13. Payment authorization; 14. Safety incidents; and 15. Service completion.

41. Customer indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, the Customer will indemnify and hold Boxed Movers harmless from third-party claims, penalties, cleanup costs, losses, and expenses resulting from:

46. Governing law
46.1 Interstate Shipments
Interstate household-goods transportation, carrier liability, cargo claims, and related transportation disputes will be governed by applicable federal law, including the Carmack Amendment, applicable federal regulations, Surface Transportation Board orders, and the governing tariff.
Federal law controls over conflicting state law to the extent of federal preemption.
46.2 Intrastate Shipments
An intrastate move will be governed by the laws and regulations of the state in which the transportation occurs.
46.3 Other Matters
For matters not governed or preempted by federal transportation law, these Terms will be governed by Texas law, except where a mandatory consumer-protection law requires otherwise.
47. Venue and jurisdiction
Subject to applicable federal venue provisions, mandatory consumer laws, and the interstate arbitration program:
- A legal proceeding involving an interstate cargo claim may be filed in a court authorized by applicable federal law. 2. A Texas intrastate dispute may be filed in a court having lawful jurisdiction. 3. Other disputes not subject to a mandatory venue statute will be brought in a state or federal court located in Dallas County, Texas.
The parties consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts for disputes properly brought there.
48. Good-faith dispute resolution
Before filing litigation concerning a dispute not subject to an urgent or mandatory deadline, the parties should attempt in good faith to resolve the matter through:
- Written notice describing the dispute; 2. Exchange of relevant documents; 3. Direct discussion; 4. The claims process, if applicable; 5. Regulatory mediation, if available; or 6. Mutually agreed private mediation.
Participation in informal resolution does not extend a claim, arbitration, or lawsuit deadline unless confirmed in a signed writing.
49. Required consumer information
For interstate individual shippers, Boxed Movers will provide or make available the documents and information required by applicable federal law, which may include:
-
A written Estimate; 2. The FMCSA publication “Ready to Move? Tips for a Successful Interstate Move”; 3. The FMCSA publication “Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move”; 4. Notice concerning access to the applicable tariff; 5. A summary of the arbitration program;

An Order for Service or equivalent document;

50. State-specific addenda
Moving laws vary by state. Boxed Movers may issue state-specific:
-
Addenda;
-
Notices;
-
Valuation forms;
-
Cancellation disclosures;
-
Claims procedures;
-
Rate disclosures;
-
Consumer notices; and
-
Moving contracts.
A state-specific addendum controls over these Terms when necessary to comply with the law of that state. These Terms do not waive any right that applicable law prohibits the Customer from waiving.
51. No waiver
Boxed Movers’ failure to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive the right to enforce that provision later. A waiver is effective only when in writing and signed by an authorized Boxed Movers representative.
52. Severability
If a provision is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable:
-
The provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted;
-
The invalid portion will be severed or narrowed;
-
The remaining provisions will remain effective; and
-
A mandatory legal requirement will replace the invalid provision where applicable.
53. Assignment
The Customer may not assign the moving agreement without Boxed Movers’ written consent. Boxed Movers may assign its rights or obligations to a successor, affiliate, authorized carrier, agent, claims administrator, collection agency, payment processor, or service provider when permitted by law, provided the assignment does not unlawfully reduce the Customer’s rights.
54. Entire agreement
These Terms, together with the move-specific documents identified in Section 3, constitute the complete agreement concerning the services. The Customer acknowledges that no promise, guarantee, representation, or statement outside the written agreement was relied upon in entering into the agreement. This provision does not exclude liability for fraud or another claim that cannot legally be waived.
55. Amendments
Boxed Movers may update the website version of these Terms prospectively. The version accepted when a move is booked will govern that move unless:
-
The parties agree to a written amendment;
-
A change is required by law; or
-
A later move-specific document expressly supersedes a provision.
No material change will be applied retroactively to reduce an existing contractual right.
56. Electronic signatures
Electronic signatures, click-to-accept acknowledgments, customer-portal approvals, payment authorizations, and electronically transmitted documents have the same effect as original signatures to the extent permitted by law.
The Customer agrees to retain copies of all moving documents.
57. Headings and interpretation
Section headings are included for convenience and do not limit the meaning of a provision.
The words “including” and “includes” mean “including without limitation.”
A reference to a statute, regulation, or law includes applicable amendments, replacements, and successor provisions.
A singular term includes the plural when the context requires.
58. Customer acknowledgment
By requesting, booking, paying for, signing, electronically accepting, or authorizing services, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that:
