3.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 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, estimated delivery period is up to thirty business days from date indicated as
first available for delivery. All estimated time of arrivals are subject to change depending on many factors such as traffic, weather conditions, unforeseen mechanical problems or
unexpected delays. 
4.PACKING YOUR GOODS: All Customers are responsible to pack all boxes and fragile items (glass, mirror, marble, and electronics) unless noted differently on this Estimate for
services. For health and sanitary reasons all mattress, box springs, and futon pads must be properly protected in Mattress box or plastic cover. Personal effects in plastic bags are not
allowed in the truck. Packing supplies are not included in the transportation cost and will be charged if required. Elaborate furniture items that need to be disassembled and/or
reassembled may require a 3rd party professional servicing or additional labor and should be disclosed to your estimator in advance of the move to be included on the estimate.
Disconnecting and reconnecting of appliances is not included in the estimate. Reassembly of any item is not guaranteed and is subject to the availability of tools and/or parts being
available at delivery. Packing, materials, and unpacking services, are available at an additional charge and are only included in this estimate if the service is listed on the services section
of the estimate.
5.LIABILITY: Dreamers Moving and Storage, LLC. provides two valuation options: Limited liability and full replacement value (FVP). Both options cover furniture and boxes
packed/unpacked by Dreamers Moving and Storage, LLC. Valuation is not insurance coverage. We suggest you purchase third party insurance to protect your property. Valuation is the
maximum amount you are declaring as the total value of your property. For example, valuation is similar to “bluebook” value of an automobile; in the event of a total loss the maximum
amount to be recovered is the “bluebook” value or valuation. The value you declare as the maximum worth/valuation of your property does not increase depending on how or why the
property was damaged. By signing this form, you are waiving certain valuable coverage which protects your property above the minimum amounts set by law. 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), the
shipper will always have at least the minimum valuation coverage. Dreamers Moving and Storage, LLC. cannot control whether proper packing methods are used by the consumer
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. Dreamers Moving and Storage, LLC. has the right to inspect and repair any alleged damage. As to “real property” not transported by carrier; consumer shipper
waives all claims and agrees that Dreamers Moving and Storage, LLC., or its agents, are not liable or negligent, for any and all damage to the interior or exterior of any real property,
building or residence including, but not limited to walls, floors, ceilings, stairs, banisters, carpets, plumbing, sprinklers, doorways, driveways, walkways, concrete slabs, lawns, trees,
landscaping, etc. In addition, you are not able to give to us to carry and we accept no liability whatsoever for firearms, jewelry, cash, bank notes, any financial instruments, hazardous
materials, liquids.
6.SHIPMENT VALUATION AND COVERAGE: Dreamers Moving and Storage, LLC. Basic Liability of $0.60 per pound per article is included in this estimate at no charge. If any article is
lost, destroyed or damaged while in your mover’s custody, your mover’s liability is limited to the actual weight of the lost, destroyed or damaged article multiplied by $0.60 cent per pound
per article. This is the basic liability level and is provided to you at no charge. It is considerably less than the average value of household goods. Full value protection coverage is available
for additional cost at customer's request (cannot be purchased after move has begun). We suggest you purchase third party insurance to protect your property.
7.ABBREVIATIONS and DEFINITIONS: Carrier: the moving company. Shipper: the consumer hiring the moving company. Articles listed as follows: Articles listed as CP = Carrier
Packed; PBO = Packed By Owner; PO = fragile item to be wrapped with Pads Only per customer.
8.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.
9.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 as an additional charge to the order.
10.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. We do not disassemble or reassemble any utilities or appliances at both current and new locations on the day of your move-out or move-in.
11.FURNITURE TRANSPORTATION and SPACE AVAILABILITY on TRUCK: Our Company 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. Logistics involving interstate moving services are complex and subject to
change. You are advised to have flexibility with your scheduled pickup and delivery dates. It is critically important and you are urged not to schedule your move on, or close to, the date
you need to vacate your current home; or schedule flights, meetings, appointments, job start dates, or any other events based upon your estimated pickup and delivery dates. Although
we will do our best to accommodate your order, there is absolutely no guarantee that all of your property will fit on the truck at pickup if you do not notify us of any additional items or
services to your move. We will reserve space on the truck to accommodate only the items and/or the amount of space (cubic feet) listed on this estimate. Any additional items not listed
on this estimate may not fit on the truck and will not be transported if space is not available. Note that you will only be charged for the items actually picked up and transported. You will
not be charged for any items left behind due to lack of space availability on the truck. Your moving estimate is not an agreement to move “all” of your property. It is merely an agreement
to charge you a specified price per cubic foot or price per pound for the items of property actually picked up, transported, and services performed. The moving company will do its best to
accommodate a second pick up and the transportation of the extra items but is not obligated to go back and pick up any extra items of property left behind. The best way to prevent
problems, surprise charges, or space issues on the truck is to accurately communicate the number and size of items you will move to the company estimator.
12.NEW BINDING ESTIMATE:  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 Dreamers Moving and Storage, LLC 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.
13.AGREED MANDATORY CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURISDICTION. If a lawsuit becomes necessary to resolve any dispute between Dreamers Moving and Storage, LLC and
shipper, said suit shall and must only be brought in circuit or county court in and for Oklahoma County, Oklahoma. Suits involving disputed over interstate shipments must be limited to
the governing federal law. Both parties agree to submit themselves to the jurisdiction of the Oklahoma Courts and agree given the relationship to the state, such exercise is reasonable
and lawful. Shipper consents to jurisdiction in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma and hereby waives the right to be served within the State of Oklahoma.
14.AGENTS and CONSOLIDATION: Dreamers Moving and Storage, LLC may use agents/independent sub-contractors on all orders. Additionally, unless customer purchased an
“exclusive use of the vehicle” option, there is no guarantee that the property will not be temporarily stored or offloaded and reloaded onto a different vehicle then performed pickup and
consolidated with other shipments during the transportation. Additionally, it is common practice for a motor carrier to utilize rental vehicles during the busy moving season to supplement
their own trucks which may not be available.
15.LEGAL PROCESS NOTICE TO ALL CLAIMS: Dreamers Moving and Storage, LLC. shall not be liable for the loss or damage of the goods unless claim is made in writing supported
by proof of ownership, value, and weight. As a condition precedent, all outstanding monies due to Dreamers Moving and Storage, LLC. must be paid in full before any claim can be made.
Claims must be filed within 9 months of delivery or demand thereof is refused and must be limited to the destination descriptions of damages for each item on the inventory logs. All
damages and missing items must be noted on the inventory logs. Damage indications must specify each item damaged at the time of delivery. Shipper or agent has full authority to order
services and enter into agreement.
16.SUMMARY OF NEUTRAL DISPUTE SETTLEMENT PROGRAM:  The neutral arbitration program has been designed to give neither party any special advantage. If a dispute arises
between Dreamers Moving and Storage, LLC. 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.
17.Notice of Maximum amount due upon delivery: Final charges will be based on actual weight or cubic feet/volume of property and services provided. Maximum amount demanded
at time of delivery, prior to unloading, is the amount of the non-binding estimate plus 10%; or 100% of the binding estimate. Actual charges may exceed the amount of estimate if
additional services were ordered or required to be performed; if customer moved additional items, weight, or cubic feet; or if extra service options such as packing or storage were
necessary.
VERY IMPORTANT - IF YOU ADD ITEMS AT PICK-UP OR IF THE ITEMS ARE A DIFFERENT VOLUME AND/OR WEIGHT FROM WHAT IS ITEMIZED ON THIS ESTIMATE:
1. The mover may provide you with a revised estimate
2. DO NOT allow the mover to load the truck or perform any services before you agree in writing to the new estimate
3. If you have not signed the mover's new estimate, and the mover loads the truck, then Federal regulation requires that the mover has reaffirmed the original estimate and
cannot demand additional payment at delivery for the additional items. Any balance due above the binding estimate would need to be billed by the mover thirty days after
delivery.
4. If you agree to and sign a revised written estimate at the pickup location you will be bound by that estimate new estimate price.
This is why we ask you to notify us of modifications at least 3 business days before the scheduled pick-up date, to avoid surprises at pick-up! On the day of pick-up, your foreman may
offer you a new revised estimate listing all costs for the entire move including the additional services ordered or additional items to be moved, if any. The total price will be the same as
the price listed on this estimate if your inventory's estimated weight/volume has not changed and if you do not require additional services. If your inventory's estimated weight/volume
increases or if you require additional services, however, then your price may change based on the rate per pound and/or cubic feet stated in this estimate.
18.CLAIM FILING PROCEDURE: As per company TERMS AND CONDITIONS, in the unlikely event a customer realizes that some of their goods are damaged or missing, or if they feel
that they have been over-charged or charged for services that they didn't received prior, during or after services were completed, all customers FULLY understand that they MUST initially
give the service provider (Moving Company) the FIRST RIGHT to fully investigate and respond in writing with a resolution to their issues.
19. NOTICE AND WAIVERS: In accordance with, 49 CFR § 375.401(a) and 49 CFR §371.113(c)(1), customer agrees to waive a physical survey in-home estimate of the household
