3. Insurance and valuation coverage for customer belongings

Your belongings will be covered with free BASIC coverage of $0.60 per pound per article (item) by default. This means you will be paid 60 cents per pound for the net weight of the lost or damaged item, regardless of the actual value of the item (max value of $25,000). For example: a 100 lbs item is valued at $60.
For added protection, we offer the Enhanced Value Protection for an additional cost of $350 per move. Your belongings are covered to a value of $3.00 per pound per article (max value of $50,000). This means you will be paid $3.00 per pound for the net weight of the lost or damaged item, regardless of the actual value of the item. For example: a 100 lbs item is valued at $300.
If you would like to purchase the optional Protection you can do so through a third-party insurance company. Any additional coverage with a 3rd party insurance company MUST be purchased at least 48 hours before the move and CANNOT be added on under any circumstances the day of the move or post the move.
It is your responsibility to purchase this additional insurance. If you have a high-value item we strongly suggest you purchase 3rd party insurance as we are only liable to pay $0.60 per pound per item if the item is damaged or lost.
HelloYugo Inc. may request additional fees if you have nominated for 3rd party insurance for your items to ensure our moving and packing supplies match the value of your items.
HelloYugo Inc. is not liable for any insurance claims or damages filed by the customer for already broken or damaged items that were picked up in their broken and damaged condition at the pick-up location. HelloYugo Inc. reserves the right to photograph and state the damaged and broken items on the bill of lading at the pick-up and drop-off location. The customer must acknowledge and sign next to these items that they were already damaged and broken before HelloYugo Inc. moved the items. The customer suspends HelloYugo Inc. from being liable for any claims for these specific damaged items during the performance of the moving & storage services. If the customer refuses to sign their bill of lading HelloYugo Inc. cannot perform the moving services and refund the customer.
If any item of a “set of furniture” is lost or damaged, payment/refund is only made for the contracted value of the item damaged, calculated as per the valuation equation, not the entire set.
It is a felony punishable by law to double file a claim for damages for your item/s through both a moving company and 3rd party insurance provider for the same item/s. When the insurance claim is filed with two insurance providers, this situation is called ”double dipping” and it is illegal. That is in the scenario that a customer has purchased an insurance policy for their items from a 3rd party insurance provider before their moving, and files a claim for the same item/s for damages, both through their moving company and 3rd party insurance provider.

4. Building Insurance – COI (Certificate of Liability Insurance)

HelloYugo Inc. will provide customers who have booked their move and paid for their service in full with a Certificate of Insurance COI if it is required by your buildings’ management to perform a move, through our 3rd party insurance provider.
It is the customer’s responsibility to obtain the requirements from building management, provide them to us via email before their move, and notify HelloYugo Inc. if their pickup or drop-off address requires a COI.
HelloYugo Inc. has the right to refuse to move the customer or charge an additional fee if we arrive at the pick-up or drop-off location and the customer does not provide COI information before the move day.
HelloYugo Inc. does not provide floor and wall masonite protection in our standard flat price quote moving service fee. If a customer or management building requires wall and floor masonite padding/protection it is the responsibility of the customer to communicate this before their move day when booking their move, or within 48 hours of their move day to ensure that masonite material is prepared for their move day. Additional material and handling fees apply for masonite protection.

5. Claim and Refunds

We aim to resolve any claim as soon as possible when receiving your HelloYugo claims submission form, images and relevant documentation regarding your claim.
You have 7 days from the date of move/delivery (or in the event of loss for the entire shipment, from the date your shipment should have been delivered) to file your claim.

The maximum late compensation refund to be paid to a customer is 15%, If HelloYugo is more than 3 hours late the compensation fee is capped at 15%. Late compensation refunds only apply for pick-up window time frames, they do not apply for drop-off location time frame windows. For example, if the customer's pick-up window is 9 am – 11 am and HelloYugo Inc. arrives at 11.30 am due to unforeseen circumstances a compensation refund fee of 5% is payable.
