Terms of Service
Last updated: September 19, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the SMG Movers & Cleaning LLC website or by booking moving services with SMG Movers & Cleaning LLC ("we," "us," "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use our website or services.
2. Services
SMG Movers & Cleaning LLC provides residential, commercial, packing, loading, unloading, and intrastate long-distance moving services in California. The specific scope of any move is determined when you book your job. We reserve the right to refuse service for any lawful reason.
3. Quotes and Estimates
Quotes provided over the phone, by text, or through our online form are estimates based on the information you provide. Actual cost is determined by the time and labor required on the day of the move, billed at the hourly rate quoted (or, where applicable, as a flat rate for long-distance jobs). A 3-hour minimum applies to all hourly moves.
4. Booking and Deposit
To reserve your move date, no advance booking deposit is required. Payment is due upon completion of the move. If you need to reschedule or cancel, we kindly request at least 48 hours notice.
5. Cancellation and Rescheduling
You may reschedule your move at no charge if you contact us at least 48 hours before your scheduled start time. Cancellations or reschedules within 48 hours may be subject to a rescheduling fee. We reserve the right to reschedule due to weather, mechanical breakdown, or other circumstances beyond our control; in those cases, no penalty applies.
6. Payment
Payment is due in cash upon completion of the move. Our published hourly rates reflect our cash-only discount. Hourly moves are billed in 15-minute increments after the 3-hour minimum. Long-distance jobs are billed at the agreed flat rate.
7. Customer Responsibilities
You agree to:
- Provide accurate information about your move (addresses, home size, items being moved).
- Ensure access to the pickup and delivery locations, including elevator and parking arrangements where required.
- Inform us of any items that are unusually heavy, fragile, hazardous, or otherwise require special handling.
- Be present (or designate someone of legal age) at both the origin and destination during the move.
8. Items We Will Not Move
For safety and legal reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials (flammable liquids, explosives, ammunition, propane tanks, etc.), perishable food, live plants or animals, illegal substances, or items containing personal valuables such as cash, jewelry, or important documents. We recommend you transport such items yourself.
9. Liability and Claims
SMG Movers & Cleaning LLC exercises reasonable care in handling your belongings. We are liable for direct physical loss or damage to items caused by our negligence, subject to the limits and exclusions described in this section. Claims for damage must be reported in writing within seven (7) days of the move. SMG Movers & Cleaning LLC is not responsible for: damage to items packed by the customer; damage to items of extraordinary value not disclosed in advance; or consequential, incidental, or punitive damages of any kind.
