Liability Protection Coverage Options

Option A Limited Liability (Basic coverage)

All licenses movers must automatically insure your possessions with the basic liability coverage (Moves within the state of NJ are cover for $1.00 per pound per article) & (all moves between state to state cover for $0.60 per pound per article). Movers201 will fix damages made to your household goods during the move with us, a replacement of damaged items that can not be fixes will be done in some cases,

*Movers201 is not responsible for any loss of jewelry, cash, phones/tablets or other valuable personal items.

Option B Increased Valuation (not insurance)

Increased valuation: A mover may contract with you for increased valuation by
agreeing to increase his legal liability limit for loss or damage, replacing the $1.00 per pound
option. No insurance policy will be issued since, under increased valuation, a mover agrees to
increase his liability limit in the event of loss or damage. The mover is able to secure the proper
limits of coverage through his cargo liability insurance carrier to support the increased valuation
agreement. Obtaining a certificate of insurance from the mover indicating an adequate cargo
liability limit of coverage prior to the move is recommended.

Option C Full Replacement Coverage (Insurance)

Full Replacement Value – Lump Sum is offered for Interstate (moving from state to state) and Intrastate (moving within the same state) shipments. This option provides coverage based on the total declared value/lump sum of the shipment. To avoid being underinsured, it is required you declare a value equal to at least $10,000.00 and that high value items be specifically declared and valued, A high value item is any shipped item valued at over $1,000.00 (USD) per item or set, and these items MUST BE SPECIFICALLY DECLARED AND VALUED. Failure to comply will limit recovery to a maximum of $1,000.00 per item or set. It is important to remember that the amount shown on the inventory list will be part of the total declared value and not in addition to it. Items may be categorized as a group, such as “living room set, 7 pieces”. However, please remember that in the event a claim is filed for any of the items in that category, the settlement amount may reflect the average value of the declared grouped items in that category.

Items valued at less than $1,000.00 per item do not need to be specifically declared and listed on the inventory list, however, to be sure that these items are covered, you MUST include their value in your total Declared Value.

Valued Inventory & Full Current Replacement Value — Lump Sum Terms and Conditions:

Full Current Replacement Value — Valued Inventory & Full Current Replacement Value — Lump Sum Insuring Agreement

Household goods, personal effects, private passenger automobiles and office goods shipped by land, under deck or by air are insured against “All Risks” of physical loss or damage from any external cause, subject to the American Institute Cargo Clauses. These clauses include Warehouse to Warehouse Transit Clauses, Marine Extension Clauses, Strikes, Riots and Civil Commotion, and “War Risk” insurance. Containerized shipments, whether shipped on deck or under deck are insured per “All Risks” conditions. Non-Containerized shipments on deck, subject to an “On Deck” bill of lading, are insured “Free of Particular Average” unless the vessel or craft be stranded, sunk, burnt, on fire, in collision or by the shipment being jettisoned or lost overboard.

Insurance purchased as Full Current Replacement Value – Valued Inventory must specify covered item(s) by item name and declare a value for each item(s). The amount of insurance purchased must be not less than the current replacement value of the property. If a valued inventory has been submitted with the insurance document, the maximum liability shall not exceed the indicated amount. If any item is insured for less than the replacement cost, co-insurance will be applied to the assured amount in determining the insured value. The Assured shall, to the extent of such deficit, bear his, her or their proportion of the loss. Items not listed are not covered. Item(s) cannot be marked as “Miscellaneous” (“Misc.”). Items marked miscellaneous are not covered.

Insurance purchased as Full Current Replacement Value – Lump Sum must be purchased for a minimum $8.00 per pound for Current Replacement Value coverage. Coverage requires that high value items, individually valued at $1,000 or over, be specifically declared and valued separate from the balance of the shipment. Failure to purchase the insurance under this term may cause the shipment to become underinsured and will place in effect the Co-Insurance Clause. Co-Insurance is a situation in which a shipment or an item is insured for less than its replacement value. Settlement will be proportional to the declared value versus the replacement value of the shipment or item. All weights will be established by a government/industry issued weight guide.

EXAMPLE: Shipment weight of 5,000 pounds (or 714 cubic feet). To avoid co-insurance, follow this simple calculation: multiply the weight of the shipment (5000 pounds in this example) x $4, for a total insured value of $20,000.

The settlement based on Full Value Replacement insurance and Replacement insurance will be the lesser of repair costs, replacement value or as stated on the valued inventory. Loss of value due to repair is not covered. Only repair costs are covered; incidental charges related to repair costs are not covered.

Should the actual weight of your shipment change after loading, the actual weight must be submitted to Movers 201 Inc. in writing within 48 hours of load for changes to the declared value to be accepted.

AVERAGE TERMS AND CONDITIONS: Shipments subject to an “On Deck” Bill of Lading (which must be so declared by the Assured) are insured Free of Particular Average unless caused by the vessel being stranded, sunk, burnt, on fire or in a collision but not including jettison and/or washing overboard irrespective of percentage. Containerized shipments on deck are insured per under deck “All Risk” clauses.

SUBROGATION CLAUSE: After the payment of a claim under this insurance document, the Insurance Carrier shall be subrogated to the extent of their payment to all the Assured’s rights of recovery against any person or organization. The Assured cannot claim any items with the mover that are covered by the insurance. The insurance company will subrogate the legal liability to mover directly on items covered by the insurance.

SALVAGE: If the Insurance Carrier replaces, makes a total loss payment, or pays the insured amount as shown on the valued inventory for a damaged article, they, at their option, have the right to salvage the damaged article.

DEDUCTIBLE: All loss or damage arising during the certificate period shall be adjusted in accordance with the valuations and limitation provisions of this certificate and will then be considered the “adjusted claim”.
