YOUR ATTENTION IS DRAWN PARTICULARLY TO THIS CLAUSE AND THE LIMITS OF OUR LIABILITY WITHIN IT.

PLEASE NOTE:

If no protection is purchased at the time of booking, you will not be protected for loss or damage above the standard rate offered of £50 per package and we strongly advise you to protect your items for the full value. Also please note that you are responsible for certifying the true value of the parcel’s contents from a purchase order, invoice, receipt or similar proof of value.

  • You will ensure that all parcels are packaged safely and securely in a manner appropriate for the item being sent
  • You will ensure that all packages/luggage are correctly and clearly labeled

  • You have checked the article against the Prohibited Items List and the Non-Compensation Item List found here – www.luggagemule.co.uk/items
  • The prohibited list is only indicative. If you have an item that is similar to or could be confused with an item on the list then you should check with us before booking and sending the item.
  • You accept that the responsibility for checking your item against these lists is yours and yours alone

7.1 Where you deal with us as a consumer, nothing within these terms and conditions shall be deemed to affect your rights under the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. For the avoidance of any doubt, when you deal with us as a business the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 is hereby excluded to the fullest extent legally possible and you are further referred to additional terms relating to business clients set out below.

7.2 Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or exclude our liability for:
(a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
(b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

7.3 We have a duty to select the suppliers/subcontractors of the services making up your booking with us with reasonable skill and care. We have no liability to you for the actual provision of the services, except in cases where it is proved that we have breached that duty and damage to you has been caused. Therefore, providing we have selected the suppliers/subcontractors with reasonable skill and care, we will have no liability to you for anything that happens during the service in question or any acts or omissions of the supplier, its employees or agents.

7.4 We will not be responsible or pay you compensation for any loss, damage, expense, cost or other claim of any description if it results from:-

a) The act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected;
b) The act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party unconnected with the provision of the services contracted for and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable; or
c) Unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond ours or our supplier(s) control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised; or
d) An event which either ourselves or suppliers could not, even with all due care, have foreseen or forestalled.

As responsible businesses, the Suppliers we have selected will do their best to perform the Service(s) in a professional manner with the appropriate level of skill and care. However, damage to a Consignment may still occur as a consequence of their handling of it and in such circumstances, their liability shall be limited as set out in this Agreement. The Extent of the Supplier’s Liability

7.3 The Supplier in question shall only be liable for damage or loss caused to you if it is caused by their negligence, breach of duty or other wrongful act or omission, and only subject to the limitations set out within this Clause 7 and Clause 8;

7.4 They shall not be liable to you under any circumstances for any direct or indirect loss (including, but not limited to loss of profits, or loss of goodwill) or for any other special or indirect losses, costs, damages, or claims which do not arise naturally as a result of their negligence, breach of duty, or other wrongful act or omission.

7.5 They shall not be liable to you under any circumstances where there are any material discrepancies (meaning more than 10% difference) between the declared dimensions and weights and the actual dimensions and weights of the Consignment.

The Limitation on the Amount of our Liability

7.6 If we/the Supplier in question is liable to you for any reason, we shall (subject always to Clause 8) only be liable to you up to the following amounts in the following circumstances:

(a) If the Supplier loses or damages all of a Consignment we will be liable for a maximum of £50. If however this maximum figure is greater than the actual value of the Consignment then the Supplier shall only be liable for the full value of that Consignment;

(b) If the Supplier loses or damages part of a Consignment, the amount of the sum determined under Clause 7.7(a) above shall be pro rated down to represent the proportion that the actual value of that part of the Consignment bears to the actual value of the whole Consignment (so, by way of an illustrative example, if the whole Consignment was worth £50, and the Supplier lost or damaged one quarter of it, the Supplier would only be liable for 25% of the figure calculated under Clause 7.7(a) above, i.e. £12.50 for the £50 service);

(c) If the Supplier causes you loss or damage arising in any other way, a maximum of £50 in respect of any Consignment.

7.7 If you consider that the potential loss to you caused by the loss or damage of all (or part) of a Consignment would exceed the figures set out above you must arrange separate cover or insurance to cover such potential loss. If you do not do this then we shall not be liable to you for more than the amounts set out above and you shall be responsible for the risks in any amounts not covered through such cover or insurance (or lack of).

7.8 We will not be liable to repay you the value of the Consignment as at the time it was purchased by you. Consignments by their nature are subject to depreciation. You are advised to take out a “new for old” insurance policy should you wish to be compensated in this way. Our liability to you is limited to the amounts set out within this Clause 7 and based on the actual value at the date of loss.

7.9 In order to ascertain the extent of our liability above, we shall require proof of the value and weight of the entire Consignment and any part or parts of it which make it up and you must ensure that, prior to our collection of the Consignment, you have a record of these. For the avoidance of any doubt, and without affecting Clause 7.7, we shall only be liable for the replacement value of the Consignment and not for any sums that would amount to profit on the Consignment or applicable value added tax (or like tax) on such profit.

7.10 If a claim arises as a result of damage to the whole or part of a Consignment and if we settle the claim for a sum equal to or greater than the value of the Consignment, then we shall be entitled to claim ownership of the Consignment and deal with it as we see fit. For the avoidance of any doubt, we shall be responsible for the cost of recovery of the Consignment.

7.11 If you wish to combine a number of discrete packages you must do this within an outer box or packaging fully encompassing each discrete package. If you do not do this and any individual discrete package(s) come apart in transit resulting in one or more of them being lost, then once the remaining parcel(s) are signed for by the recipient, you accept that you cannot make a claim for loss or partial loss of that consignment.

Notification of Claims & Complaints

7.12 We shall not be liable to you under any circumstances for any loss or damage unless you notify us by the Contact Us page (via our website) for the claims procedure OR for any customer service complaints, by email only of the full details of the alleged complaint to Easy Traveller Ltd; admin@luggagemule.co.uk within:

  • Getting the size of your luggage correct is vital when using our service. Easy Traveller Ltd offer a fixed price based on whichever is the greater, weight or size. For example, if your box is large, but doesn’t weigh very much at all, we would still charge you for the size. This is classed and calculated as volumetric weight.
  • It is really easy to calculate the volumetric weight of your luggage so just follow these steps.1. Multiply the Length, Depth and Width of your luggage/box together – (cm)2. Then divide that number by 5000 and the figure you will get is the volumetric weight.For example, 130cm x 90cm x 30cm = 351,000. Then divide by 5000 = 70.2 cm3
