1.Nature of the Website
Moving Easy is an online booking website for moving, delivery, transport, and related services.
Moving Easy enables customers to submit Delivery Requests, receive quotes, communicate with service providers, and make bookings through the website.
Moving Easy does not itself provide moving, transport, delivery, packing, loading, unloading, storage, freight, courier, or logistics services.
2.Moving Easy's Role
Moving Easy's role is limited to operating the booking website and related services.
Moving Easy is not a carrier, moving company, transport operator, freight forwarder, warehouse operator, logistics provider, packer, or insurer.
All services booked through Moving Easy are provided by independent third-party service providers, not by Moving Easy.
3.Contract for Services
When a customer accepts a quote or confirms a booking through Moving Easy, the contract for the relevant services is formed directly between the customer and the relevant service provider.
Moving Easy is not a party to that contract.
The relevant service provider is solely responsible for performing the booked services.
4.Independent Service Providers
Service providers using Moving Easy operate independently and on their own behalf.
No service provider is an employee, agent, partner, representative, or subcontractor of Moving Easy.
Nothing in these Terms or in the operation of the website creates any agency, employment, partnership, joint venture, fiduciary, or representative relationship between Moving Easy and any user or service provider.
5.No Guarantee or Endorsement
Moving Easy does not guarantee:
- that any service provider is suitable, licensed, insured, qualified, reliable, or available;
- that any quote is accurate, complete, final, or appropriate;
- that any booking will proceed as requested or quoted; or
- that any goods will be transported without delay, loss, theft, deterioration, or damage.
Any vetting, verification, profile approval, review, rating, badge, response score, or account status shown on the website is for website purposes only and does not amount to a representation, warranty, guarantee, or assumption of responsibility by Moving Easy.
6.Accounts
Users must provide accurate, current, and complete information and keep their account details secure.
You are responsible for all activity carried out through your account.
Moving Easy may suspend, restrict, or terminate any account, Delivery Request, quote, message, booking, or access to the website at any time if Moving Easy reasonably considers it necessary for fraud prevention, risk management, compliance, safety, website integrity, reputational protection, dispute management, or any breach of these Terms.
7.Delivery Requests and Information
Customers must ensure that all information provided in a Delivery Request is accurate, complete, and not misleading, including pickup and delivery locations, dates, item descriptions, quantity, size, weight, volume, access conditions, fragility, and any special handling requirements.
Moving Easy is not responsible for checking or verifying Delivery Request information.
If any information in a Delivery Request is inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading, the service provider may revise the quote, impose additional charges, refuse to proceed, delay the booking, or cancel the service.
Any consequences arising from inaccurate or incomplete information are the customer's responsibility.
8.Quotes
Quotes shown through Moving Easy are provided by service providers, not by Moving Easy.
A quote may be based on assumptions made from the information supplied by the customer. If the actual job differs from the information supplied, the quote may no longer apply.
Moving Easy is not responsible for quote accuracy, repricing, pricing disputes, or any additional charges raised by a service provider.
9.Payments
Payment for services booked through Moving Easy is arranged directly between the customer and the relevant service provider unless Moving Easy expressly states otherwise.
Moving Easy does not collect, hold, or escrow customer payment for the booked services and is not responsible for non-payment, late payment, refund disputes, chargebacks, or other payment-related issues between a customer and a service provider. Moving Easy may charge service providers separate platform fees or other fees for use of the website.
Any account top-ups, credits, prepaid balances, or similar amounts added to a Moving Easy account for use on the website are final and non-refundable, except where Moving Easy expressly agrees otherwise in writing or where refund is required by applicable law.
10.GST and Tax Compliance
The parties agree that the services supplied by Moving Easy Limited Pte. Ltd. under this Agreement are deemed to take place outside New Zealand, in accordance with section 8 of the Goods and Services Tax Act 1985.
If the customer is registered for GST and has entered into this Agreement for the purposes of its taxable activity, the customer must provide Moving Easy Limited Pte. Ltd. with its New Zealand GST number to confirm that status. In those circumstances, Moving Easy Limited Pte. Ltd. is not required to, and will not, charge GST on the supply.
If the customer is not GST registered, or has not provided its New Zealand GST number, Moving Easy Limited Pte. Ltd. is required to charge GST of 15% on the supply under the New Zealand Goods and Services Tax Act 1985.
11.Cancellations and Changes
Bookings may be changed, delayed, cancelled, or refused by the customer or the service provider.
Any cancellation policy, waiting charge, wasted journey fee, redelivery fee, or similar charge is a matter between the customer and the service provider unless Moving Easy expressly states otherwise.
Moving Easy is not responsible for losses arising from cancellation, rescheduling, no-shows, failed collection, failed delivery, delay, lack of access, unsafe conditions, undisclosed items, or inaccurate booking information.
12.Service Provider Responsibility
Each service provider is solely responsible for:
- the services it offers and performs;
- compliance with applicable laws, regulations, licences, permits, and safety requirements;
- its vehicles, labour, subcontractors, and equipment;
- deciding whether goods are accepted for transport; and
- any complaint, claim, refund, delay, damage, loss, or dispute relating to the booked service.
Moving Easy does not assume any of those responsibilities.
13.Restricted or Prohibited Goods
Customers must not request the transport of unlawful, hazardous, unsafe, prohibited, or improperly packed goods.
Service providers may refuse to transport any goods they consider unsafe, unlawful, unsuitable, or not as described.
Moving Easy is not responsible for inspecting goods or determining whether goods are lawful, safe, properly packaged, or suitable for transport.
14.Packaging, Access, and Readiness
Unless expressly agreed otherwise between the customer and the service provider, the customer is responsible for ensuring that goods are properly packed and ready for transport, that collection and delivery access is safe and adequate, and that any required permissions or arrangements are in place.
Moving Easy is not responsible for damage, delay, extra cost, or non-performance arising from inadequate packaging, unsafe or restricted access, customer delay, weather exposure, or site conditions.
15.Loss, Damage, Delay, and Non-Performance
Any loss, damage, theft, deterioration, delay, missed timing, failed delivery, failed collection, partial delivery, non-delivery, or other service issue arising out of a booking is solely a matter between the customer and the relevant service provider.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Moving Easy is not liable for any such matter and is not responsible for investigating, compensating, insuring, or resolving it.
16.Insurance
Moving Easy does not provide insurance for any goods, vehicles, pets, equipment, or other items listed, booked, or transported through the website.
Any insurance held by a service provider is solely a matter between the customer and that service provider.
Customers are responsible for making their own enquiries about insurance and arranging any additional insurance they require.
Moving Easy makes no representation that any insurance exists, is adequate, or will respond to any claim.
17.Reviews, Ratings, and Content
Moving Easy may display reviews, ratings, profile details, response times, account history, verification status, badges, and similar information.
Moving Easy does not guarantee that such information is accurate, complete, representative, current, or free from manipulation.
Moving Easy may remove, edit, suppress, reorder, or decline to publish any content at its discretion.
Users grant Moving Easy a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, store, publish, modify, and display content submitted through the website for operating, improving, promoting, and protecting the website.
18.Communications and Website Monitoring
Users agree that Moving Easy may send website, operational, support, and transactional communications.
Users also agree that Moving Easy may store, review, analyse, and use communications and records relating to website activity for fraud prevention, support, quality control, moderation, compliance, dispute management, evidence, website improvement, and legal protection.
Moving Easy may use automated systems and AI-assisted tools in connection with customer support, moderation, fraud detection, reminders, follow-ups, and general website operations.
19.Disputes Between Users
Any dispute relating to a booking or service is between the customer and the relevant service provider.
Moving Easy may, but is not obliged to, assist with communications, request information, remove content, or make website-level decisions for risk or operational reasons.
Any such involvement does not make Moving Easy a party to the dispute and does not create any duty for Moving Easy to investigate, adjudicate, resolve, reimburse, or compensate.
20.Prohibited Conduct
Users must not:
- provide false or misleading information;
- manipulate quotes, reviews, ratings, or website outcomes;
- misuse, copy, scrape, harvest, or exploit website data or content;
- create fake accounts, Delivery Requests, or quotes;
- use the website unlawfully, abusively, fraudulently, or in a way that harms Moving Easy or other users; or
- bypass or attempt to bypass Moving Easy in a way intended to avoid applicable fees owed by service providers.
Moving Easy may take any action it considers appropriate in response to such conduct, including suspension, termination, content removal, fee recovery, or legal action.
21.Indemnity
You indemnify Moving Easy and its related entities, directors, officers, employees, contractors, and agents against all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, penalties, and expenses, including legal costs, arising out of or connected with:
- your use of the website;

- your Delivery Request, goods, content, conduct, or communications;
- any dispute between you and another user; and

22.Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Moving Easy is not liable for any loss, damage, cost, or claim arising out of or in connection with the website, any booking, or any services booked through the website.
If Moving Easy is found liable for any reason, its total liability is limited to the amount of fees paid to Moving Easy in connection with the relevant booking.
Moving Easy is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, including loss of income, profit, business, goodwill, reputation, opportunity, or expected savings.
23.Release
To the maximum extent permitted by law, each user releases Moving Easy from any claim, action, liability, loss, or demand arising out of or connected with:
- the acts or omissions of another user;
- any booked service;
- any quote, cancellation, delay, dispute, damage, loss, theft, or non-performance; or
- any inaccuracy in user information, reviews, ratings, profile details, or insurance-related information.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or limits any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or limited.
If you are using Moving Easy for personal, domestic, or household purposes, rights under New Zealand consumer law may apply to the extent relevant.
If you are using Moving Easy for business purposes, then to the maximum extent permitted by law, you and Moving Easy agree to contract out of any law capable of being contracted out of, where the statutory requirements for doing so are satisfied and it is fair and reasonable for the parties to be bound by this clause.
