Contract Agreement
By signing this document, I confirm that I have fully read and understood the Terms & Conditions, Cancellations, and fees listed below. I acknowledge that I have no further questions regarding the content and I agree to honor this Contract and accept the Terms & Conditions. I also confirm that all the information provided has been clearly disclosed to me.
Terms & Conditions
- Vehicle Pickup
- If the Client's vehicle is not picked up within 5 business days from the first available date, the Client can opt out of this agreement with no penalties.
- Failure to Release Vehicle
- If the vehicle cannot be released for any reason (including but not limited to storage, auction, port, towing, mechanical, purchase fees, scheduling, or personal issues) after a carrier has been assigned, this may result in cancellation and/or a 'Dry Run' fee in addition to the deposit amount. The standard 'Dry-Run' fee is $200.00.
- Deposit and Payment
- Once a specific carrier has been assigned to the Client's order, the deposit amount is due and will be authorized (blocked) on the credit card provided, and charged after actual pickup. The balance should be paid via cash or certified funds (money order, cashier’s check) upon delivery unless otherwise specified.
- Non-refundable Deposit
- After a carrier has been assigned, the deposit becomes non-refundable. Refusal of Carrier or Cancellation may result in a $75 rescheduling fee, which will be charged in addition to the deposit. Refusal or Cancellation must be submitted in writing to our email at sales@floridacarstransport.com.
- Contract Validity
- Upon signing the Contract, all prior agreements, discussions, and correspondence between the Parties concerning this Contract are considered null and void.
- Change in Payment Terms
- Any request by the Client for a change in payment terms after the carrier has been assigned may result in an additional bank surcharge of 4%.
- Bill of Lading/Condition Report
- It is the Client’s obligation to request and fill out the Bill of Lading/Condition report at the time of pickup and delivery, ensuring all damages are properly marked. Keep your copy until final delivery. This document is mandatory proof for claiming reimbursement from the carrier’s insurance company.
- Vehicle Modifications
- The Client must inform us of any modifications to the vehicle that alter its size or weight from stock parameters to avoid unexpected shipping charges.
- Changes to Agreement
- If there are any changes to the original agreement, Florida Cars Transport must inform the Client prior to assigning a carrier for final confirmation.
- Carrier Assignment
- Florida Cars Transport reserves the right to assign a carrier to the Client's order if all original terms are met, without additional Client confirmation.
- Calculated Rate
- The calculated rate reflects the average accepted rate for this or similar routes. This rate is subject to the driver’s confirmation.
- Inability to Assign Carrier
- Florida Cars Transport reserves the right to opt out of the shipping contract if unable to assign a carrier at the original price and conditions due to changing carrier availability. In such cases, alternative shipping options will be offered to the Client for consideration.
Liability Disclaimer
- Service Arrangement
- Florida Cars Transport arranges the shipment of vehicles with licensed and insured Contract Carriers. The Client must be the legal owner of the vehicle(s) or duly authorized by the legal owner.
- Pickup and Delivery Dates
- Florida Cars Transport will provide a reliable and insured carrier but cannot guarantee specific pickup and/or delivery dates or times. The Client must make themselves or their designated agent available through phone, email, or fax for any transport-related issues until delivery.
- Additional Fees
- Misrepresentation of vehicle size, weight, or modifications may result in additional fees or order cancellation. Non-operational vehicles (INOP) may incur additional fees and must meet specific conditions to be transported. Unauthorized cargo in vehicles may result in damage, loss, or fines, for which the Client is responsible.
- Damage Claims
- Damage claims must be noted on the Bill of Lading at delivery. Florida Cars Transport is not liable for property damage claims; such claims must be filed directly with the Carrier’s insurance. The Client agrees that Florida Cars Transport is acting solely as a broker and does not take possession of, transport, or deliver the Client’s property.
- Cancellation & Refund Policy
- Refunds will be processed within 48 business hours of receiving a written cancellation request via email. Cancellations made after a Carrier has been assigned may incur a $95 fee.
- Force Majeure
- Florida Cars Transport and the Carrier are not responsible for damages caused by Acts of God or other events beyond their control.
- Final Clause
- This agreement supersedes all prior written or oral communications and constitutes the entire agreement between the Client and Florida Cars Transport. Changes to this agreement must be made in writing and signed by an officer of Florida Cars Transport.
