7. IMPORTANT: CUSTOMERS DECLARATION OF VALUE this is a tariff level of carrier liability – It is not insurance
WARNING : If a moving company loses or damages your goods, there are 2 different standards for the company’s liability based on the types of rates you pay. BY FEDERAL LAW, THIS FORM MUST CONTAIN A FILLED-IN ESTIMATE OF THE COST OF A MOVE FOR WHICH THE MOVING COMPANY IS LIABLE FOR THE FULL (REPLACEMENT) VALUE OF YOUR GOODS in the event of loss, or damage to, the goods. This form may also contain an estimate of a move in which the moving company is liable for FAR LESS than the replacement value of your goods, typically at a lower cost to you. You will select the liability level later, on the bill of lading (contract) for your move. Before selecting a liability level, please read “Your Right and Responsibilities When You Move,” provided by moving company, and seek further information at the government website www.protectyourmove.gov
RELEASE VALUE: If any article is lost, destroyed or damaged while in your movers custody, your movers liability is limited to the actual weight of the lost, destroyed or damaged article multiplied by $0.60 per pound per article. Example: If you choose this option and your $2,000.00 sofa that weighs 200 pounds is lost or damaged during the move, the carrier’s maximum liability for said sofa would be $120.00. (200 pounds X .60 per pound = $120.00)
FULL VALUE REPLACEMENT COVERAGE: Additional charges apply for this option. This option allows you, the shipping customer, to declare the value of the items you are moving. The value declared would then become the carrier’s maximum liability in the event of loss or damage during your move.
Note 1: When storage-in-transit is provided, an additional SIT valuation charge applies when the shipment is transported under the Full Value Replacement Protection option.
8. CLAIMS: All claims must be submitted in writing within 90 days from the date of delivery please contact: Anthem Claim Management (623) 551-3248 or visit http://www.condormovingsystems.com/file-claim/.

12. STORAGE/HOLDING FEES: If the shipper does not provide a delivery address at the time of loading, the shipper will be charged a holding fee from the time the shipment was picked up until the time the shipper notifies Condor that the delivery location is ready.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT STORAGE CHARGES: Storage/Holding Fee charges are billed monthly and due on the 1st day of each month. Storage billing cycle starts on the 1st of each month and ends on the last day of each month. Storage charges are $0.50 per cubic foot per month. Only the first month is pro-rated for any remaining days for that given month. After the first month storage charges are only billed monthly regardless of the number of days you remain in storage.
Late Fees While in Storage: If storage payments are not received by the 5th a $25.00 late fee will be applied. If items are held in storage for over 90 days with no storage payment, the received items will be sold at public auction pursuant to Federal and State Laws. If items are in transit and the shipper advises Condor Moving Systems that the customer is not able to accept or pay for the delivery, the shipment will be placed in storage. The shipper will be charged for storage and redelivery.
