Contractual Agreement
1. INFORMATION, INSTRUCTIONS, AND/TERMS AND CONDITIONS
A. Payment of Remaining Balance Upon Delivery: The Client acknowledges and agrees that the remaining balance must be paid directly to the assigned Carrier once the vehicle has been successfully delivered. Accepted payment methods include certified funds only, such as cash, money orders, cashier’s checks, company checks, or bank-issued checks. Personal checks will not be accepted by the Carrier at the time of delivery under any circumstances.
B. Credit & Debit Card Payment Restrictions: Additionally, many Carriers do not accept credit cards or debit cards as a form of payment upon delivery of the vehicle. Clients are therefore encouraged to prepare an approved payment method beforehand to avoid delays during the delivery process. If alternative payment arrangements are requested, they must be approved in advance by the assigned Carrier prior to delivery and may involve additional processing procedures or fees.
2. TERMS OF AGREEMENT AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
A. Carrier’s Contractual Obligations and Assessment Requirements
The assigned Carrier holds full responsibility for any damages that may occur to your vehicle while it is in transit and under their possession. Prior to transport, a complete inspection of the vehicle will be performed, including a detailed walk-around evaluation before the vehicle is released to the Carrier.
B. Doorstep Pickup and Delivery Services and Related Conditions
Pickup and delivery services are generally expected to be completed at the customer’s doorstep unless restricted by local laws, neighborhood limitations, or road access conditions. Vehicles classified as oversized or inoperable — including those with oversized wheels, extended dimensions, lifted suspensions, limousine modifications, roof racks, or other non-standard features — may result in additional transportation charges.
If the Carrier is not informed beforehand regarding the vehicle’s oversized or non-operational condition, the Client will be responsible for paying any additional fees immediately through cash or money order payable directly to the Carrier. Clients are responsible for providing complete and accurate vehicle details before scheduling transport in order to avoid unexpected costs.
C. Grant of Authority to Carrier and Driver
The Client grants full authorization to the assigned Carrier and driver to operate and transport the vehicle from the designated pickup location to the agreed delivery destination as outlined within the shipping order and Bill of Lading. This authorization includes all actions reasonably required for safe and proper transportation of the vehicle. By signing this agreement, the Client accepts and authorizes such transport operations according to the terms stated herein.
D. Agreement for Services with State By State Carriers
MCC Bound Legends agrees to coordinate and arrange transportation services through a reliable Carrier as quickly as scheduling and market conditions reasonably permit while following the Client’s provided instructions. If a Client cancels the order before a Carrier has been assigned, the deposit will be refunded in full without penalties. However, MCC Bound Legends reserves the right to reject any order at its sole discretion. In such cases, any deposit collected will be returned entirely.
E. Client Responsibilities and Preparations for Vehicle Transport
As discussed with the Client, boats exceeding 12 feet in width and 12.5 feet in height will require the Client to cover all costs related to permits, escort vehicles, route requirements, and any additional expenses necessary for compliant oversized transportation as required by state and federal regulations.
The Client is also responsible for removing all detachable accessories from the vehicle, including but not limited to luggage racks and removable attachments. Unless otherwise arranged, the vehicle must be fully operational, capable of self-propulsion, and contain no more than one-half tank of fuel at pickup time. Failure to comply with these conditions may result in delays, service interruptions, or additional charges. By signing this agreement, the Client acknowledges understanding and acceptance of these requirements.
F. Roles, Exclusions from Liability, and Duties of State By State Carriers
MCC Bound Legends strongly advises Clients to remove all personal belongings and luggage from the vehicle prior to transport. The Company assumes no responsibility or liability for any personal property left inside the vehicle under any circumstances.
Furthermore, MCC Bound Legends shall not be responsible for delays, cancellations, increased transport costs, or damages caused by personal belongings inside the vehicle. Any Client choosing to rent a vehicle during the shipping process does so entirely at their own expense. MCC Bound Legends is not responsible for rental reimbursement or related expenses. Additionally, the Company disclaims all liability related to mechanical failures, electrical malfunctions, or moving part breakdowns occurring during transport.
G. Incurrence of Damage During Transportation and the Claims Process
If a vehicle is damaged while in transit, all claims regarding such damages must be directed exclusively to the assigned Carrier. Any visible damage must be properly documented at the time of delivery and noted on the Bill of Lading before signing. The Client must then submit a formal written claim directly to the Carrier according to the terms outlined in the Bill of Lading.
MCC Bound Legends is not responsible for transport-related damages and expressly disclaims all liability associated with damage claims. The assigned Carrier remains solely responsible for the vehicle while it is in transit.
H. Mandated Prohibitions and Restrictions
Clients are strictly prohibited from leaving electronic devices, valuables, plants, live animals, alcohol, illegal substances, firearms, or prohibited items inside the vehicle during transportation. Violation of these restrictions may result in fines, penalties, transport refusal, or legal consequences. Clients are responsible for ensuring compliance with these regulations.
I. International Orders – Including but not Limited to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico
For international shipments and transport orders involving Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, or similar locations, vehicles must remain completely empty except for factory-installed equipment. Clients must provide the vehicle serial number along with the estimated vehicle value in United States Dollars.
The Client is solely responsible for preparing, completing, and verifying all required customs documentation. If assistance is required regarding customs paperwork, the Client should consult directly with the assigned Carrier.
J. Applicability and Obligations as per the Carrier’s Tariff and the Uniform Straight Bill of Lading
All shipments arranged under this agreement are subject to the assigned Carrier’s tariff rules and the Uniform Straight Bill of Lading.
