"Customers Above All"
1. Customer is the registered legal owner of the vehicle(s) and has authority to enter into this Agreement or has been duly authorized by the legal owner of the vehicle(s) to enter into this Agreement.
2. Customer order
is subject to all terms and conditions of the carrier's Bill of Lading, copies;
of which are available at the office of carrier and also are incorporated
herein.
3. Above All Auto Transport, LLC agrees to have vehicle(s)
described on quotation shipped on or about the dates requested. Above All Auto
Transport will assign a reliable carrier to fulfill the terms and conditions of
this agreement. Although we strive to always pick up and deliver on your
requested dates, delivery dates and times are estimates only. Date and
time of delivery is not guaranteed and Above All Auto Transport will not be
held liable for any loss or damage resulting from any delay.
4. The deposit is due at time of order
placement. The remaining amount is due at time of delivery in cash or
cashier’s check only. The vehicle(s) will not be released if the total
amount due in cash is not provided. If delivery is attempted after
notification (3 to 24 hours phone/voicemail notification to phone numbers
provided by customer) and customer or their designated accepter does not have
the cash amount due or is unavailable to receive delivery, vehicle(s) will be
taken to the nearest terminal at Above All Auto Transport’s discretion, where
the customer will have to recover and pay for storage or redelivery fees.
5. Customer shall prepare the vehicle(s) for transport by
removing or properly securing all loose and/or protruding parts such as
antennas, low hanging spoilers, etc. Any part that falls off in transit
that causes damages to any vehicle(s) involved are the customer’s
responsibility. It is necessary that the customer disarm any vehicle
alarm system and provide the driver with any tools or keys necessary
to disarm the system. If activated during the transport the
driver may deactivate the alarm in any way deemed necessary to
disarm. Customer releases any claims for damages that are caused by
customer’s failure to provide proper keys or procedure for the driver in this
event.
6. Customer is responsible for removing all detachable personal
belongings from the vehicle(s). Additional fees may be incurred for the
transport of contents left in a vehicle. Above All Auto Transport is not
responsible for the safe transport of any such contents.
7. Customer or
assigned person shall be present at the point of pick-up and delivery. If
vehicle is not made available to transporter once the pickup date has been
confirmed and the driver has been dispatched, customer will be charged a fee to
cover transporter fuel expenses for that dry run. If Customer or assigned
person is not present at time of delivery, the vehicle(s) will be placed in
storage at owner's expense.
9. Customer authorizes Above All Auto Transport and its subcontractors
to drive, park, store and otherwise operate or transport the vehicle(s) in any
means necessary to fulfill the obligation of this agreement. Customer must

the Bill of Lading received by Customer at the time of delivery. Above
All Auto Transport must be notified within 24 hours of any damage. Any
claims related to such noted damage must be submitted in writing to Above All
Auto Transport within 10 days of delivery accompanied by clear pictures and 2
estimates. Customer hereby waives any damage claims that are not noted on
the Bill of Lading or for which Customer has not submitted a written claim
within 10 days of the receipt of the vehicle(s). Above All Auto Transport
will support the customer in this effort but in no way will accept
responsibility for any negligence of the carrier at fault.
11.
Above All Auto Transport is a licensed and bonded Property Broker and is
responsible for booking the shipment of vehicles with a licensed and insured
carrier who handles their own claims. In turn, it may take a few weeks to
process you claim due to the drivers returning to their terminals with the
original Bill of Lading condition report. In no instance can Above All
Auto Transport be held liable for the designated carrier's damage.
However, Above All Auto Transport will provide carrier’s insurance certificate
and carrier information should any need arise.
12. If delivery of vehicle has not been made within
21 days of being loaded on the assigned carrier, Above All Auto Transport will
provide rental car reimbursement of up to $25 per day for a limit of 7 days or
total reimbursement of $175.00. This does not include
13. After Customer places
an order there is the option to cancel any time prior to the vehicle(s) being
assigned to a carrier at no cost to the customer. The amount of the
deposit will be lost if the vehicle is booked on a transporter before Above All
Auto Transport receives customer’s cancellation via fax or email. Above All
Auto Transport reserves the right to cancel your order at any time. If this right
is exercised your deposit and any other fees paid will be refunded.
14. It is the customer’s
responsibility to make sure the vehicle(s) is in operating order. An
additional charge between $100 and $200 will be assessed if the vehicle becomes
inoperative for any reason during the transport and was not stated to be
inoperative on customer’s original order.

are jointly and severally liable for any and all unpaid charges including cost
of collection and reasonable attorney fees. Unless the order has been
prepaid Customer shall pay amount due, including any additional charges, in
cash.

Transport and its agents will not be responsible for vandalism or acts of God
such as fire, flooding, hurricanes, hail, sand storms, tornadoes, earthquakes,
objects flying from the road or sky during transport, acts of terrorism, riots,
strikes, labor disputes, explosions, acts or orders of civil or military
authorities, or other causes beyond reasonable control. Shippers should
maintain their own insurance for these reasons.

their order online via Above All Auto Transport's website or through email it
is understood that the customer is placing an order and accepts the terms and
conditions in lieu of Customer's signature. This agreement supersedes all
