    Set‑off

  • Unless the customer is a consumer, they waive the right to offset any debt to Connect Verhuizers with a claim against Connect Verhuizers.

The customer is obliged to adequately insure and keep insured against fire, explosion, water damage, and theft the following items:

  • Goods necessary for the execution of the agreement,

  • Items owned by Connect Verhuizers that are in the customer’s possession,

  • Items delivered under retention of title.

Upon request, the customer must provide Connect Verhuizers with a copy of these insurance policies.

If the parties enter into a service agreement, Connect Verhuizers only commits to a best‑efforts obligation and does not provide a result guarantee.

  • Connect Verhuizers will perform the agreement to the best of its ability and in accordance with the standards of good workmanship.
  • Connect Verhuizers has the right to outsource the agreed services in part to third parties.
  • The agreement is concluded after mutual consultation, written approval, and any required advance payment by the customer.
  • It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that Connect Verhuizers can start work on time.
  • If the customer does not enable Connect Verhuizers to start work on time, any resulting extra costs and/or hours will be charged to the customer.

  • The customer is obliged to provide all relevant information, data, and documents on time, in the required format, and in the required manner to Connect Verhuizers.
  • The customer guarantees the accuracy, completeness, and reliability of the information provided, even if it comes from third parties, unless the nature of the agreement dictates otherwise.
  • Upon request, Connect Verhuizers will return the documents provided to the customer.
  • If the customer does not provide the required information, or does so late or improperly, causing a delay in the execution of the agreement, any resulting additional costs and extra hours are at the customer’s expense.

If an agreement is entered into for a fixed term, it will automatically be converted into an agreement for an indefinite period after the term expires, unless one of the parties terminates the agreement with two months’ notice, or, in the case of a consumer, with one month’s notice, after which the agreement ends automatically.

If the parties have agreed on a timeframe for completing certain work within the term of the agreement, this timeframe is never binding. If this period is exceeded, the client must give Connect Verhuizers written notice of default.

If a service agreement is terminated by notice, the client is obliged to pay the contractor 50% of the outstanding fee within 14 working days of the quotation date.

The client is responsible for arranging the conditions at and around the location, including parking spaces, transport access, permits and exemptions for moving trucks, lifts, and personnel, so that the contractor can carry out the assignment without damage and under acceptable conditions, unless agreed otherwise in writing.

The client must apply for the necessary permits and exemptions for the assignment with the municipality in time (this can be done via the digital portal and must generally be applied for at least 10 days in advance). If this is not done, the contractor has the right to refuse the assignment, or the assignment will be carried out entirely at the client’s risk. The contractor is never liable for consequential damage arising from this, and all costs resulting from the client’s negligence will be charged to the client and must be paid immediately from the date these costs and/or damages occur.

The contractor is not liable for any damage to the client if such damage is the result of incorrect information and/or defective materials provided by the client.

The contractor accepts no liability toward third parties other than the client, and the client indemnifies the contractor against all financial consequences of claims from third parties.

The contractor is never liable for consequential damage, loss of profit, missed savings, or any damage due to business interruption of the client.

Compensation can never exceed the total amount of the moving agreement.
– The deductible is €150 for damage up to €500.
– The deductible is €250 for damage over €500.

The client’s belongings must be transport‑ready and properly packed, unless agreed otherwise in advance (for example, the contents of a moving box must be packed so that loose items cannot damage each other). Small items must be packed in sealed boxes unless agreed otherwise.

We work exclusively with skilled movers employed by Connect Verhuizers.
If persons other than the contractor’s staff assist during the move, any damage caused by both our staff and those third parties is not covered by the contractor’s liability. Items loaded into the truck by persons other than the moving staff are not insured.

Delays may occur due to extended moving time, traffic jams, bad weather, or improperly parked vehicles (even if traffic signs were requested by the company). The contractor is not liable for such delays, and waiting‑time costs are always charged to the client.

In case of damage, the client must establish and document the damage in writing in the presence of the movers. Liability expires once the movers leave the location and the damage has not been recorded in writing.

Under no circumstances may the client withhold payment because of damage. The invoice must always be paid in full regardless of any damage. Damage claims are always handled separately.

Damage to plants, aquariums, animals, and stairwells is excluded from the contractor’s liability unless agreed otherwise in writing.

In the event of damage, the client must always provide the original proof of purchase. If this is not available, the client must request a value certificate from the supplier.

For hoisting work, it is essential that there is access to the hoisting beam; this is the client’s responsibility. Hoisting is always carried out at the client’s risk. All damage resulting from hoisting work is entirely at the client’s expense.

The client is responsible for free access to the lifting hook and must ensure unobstructed passage for all items to be moved.

When using moving lifts, the client’s goods are insured.

The contractor reserves the right to dissolve the agreement without any compensation in the event of force majeure, strikes, lockouts, fire, war, mobilization, floods and other natural disasters, or any cause of delay beyond the company’s control.

Items of exceptional value must always remain in the client’s possession, such as cash, valuables, and jewelry.

If an item represents an excessive or disproportionate value, this must be reported in writing before the move. Examples include valuable works of art, expensive designer furniture, or heirlooms of high emotional value. If the client fails to report this, the contractor cannot take special precautions. Transport of such valuables is then entirely at the client’s risk, and the contractor accepts no liability unless reported in writing in advance.

The client must inspect any product delivered or service performed by Connect Movers as soon as possible for defects.

If a delivered product or performed service does not meet what the client could reasonably expect from the agreement, the client must notify Connect Movers as soon as possible, but no later than one month after discovering the defect.

Consumers must notify Connect Movers no later than two months after discovering the defect.

The client must describe the defect as fully and clearly as possible so that Connect Movers can respond adequately.

The client must demonstrate that the complaint relates to an agreement between the parties.

If a complaint relates to ongoing work, it does not entitle the client to demand more work than originally agreed.

The client must submit notices of default to Connect Movers in writing.


It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that a notice of default actually (and on time) reaches Connect Movers.

If Connect Movers enters into an agreement with multiple clients, each of them is jointly and severally liable for the full amounts they owe Connect Movers under the agreement.

The client has the right to terminate the agreement if Connect Movers fails to meet its obligations, unless the shortcoming is of minor or insignificant nature and does not justify termination.

If performance by Connect Movers is permanently or temporarily impossible, termination can only occur after Connect Movers has been formally put in default.

Connect Movers has the right to terminate the agreement if the client fails to fulfill its obligations under the agreement or if Connect Movers has reason to believe the client will not properly fulfill its obligations.

In addition to Article 6:75 of the Dutch Civil Code, a failure by Connect Movers to fulfill its obligations due to a situation beyond its control cannot be attributed to Connect Movers.

Force majeure includes, but is not limited to: emergencies (such as civil war, uprisings, riots, natural disasters, etc.), failures and force majeure at suppliers, delivery services or other third parties, unexpected power outages, electricity, internet, computer or telecom failures, computer viruses, strikes, government measures, unforeseen transport problems, bad weather, and work stoppages.

If Connect Movers cannot fulfill one or more obligations to the client due to a force majeure situation, those obligations are suspended until Connect Movers can meet them again.

If a force majeure situation lasts at least 30 calendar days, both the client and Connect Movers have the right to terminate the agreement in writing.

In a force majeure situation, Connect Verhuizers is not obliged to pay any (damage) compensation, even if the company benefits in some way from the force majeure situation.

If, after concluding the agreement, it becomes necessary to change or supplement its content for its execution, the parties will adjust the agreement in time and by mutual consultation.

Connect Verhuizers is entitled to amend or supplement these general terms and conditions.

Changes of minor importance may be made at any time.

Major substantive changes will, where possible, be discussed with the client in advance.

Consumers have the right to terminate the agreement in the event of a material change to the general terms and conditions.

The client’s rights arising from an agreement between the parties cannot be transferred to third parties without the prior written consent of Connect Verhuizers.

This provision is a property law clause as referred to in Article 3:83(2) of the Dutch Civil Code.

If one or more provisions of these general terms and conditions are void or annulled, this will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

In such a case, the void or annulled provision will be replaced by a provision that most closely reflects the intent of Connect Verhuizers when drafting these terms and conditions.

All agreements between the parties are governed exclusively by Dutch law.

The Dutch court in the district where Connect Verhuizers is based/operates/has its office has exclusive jurisdiction to hear any disputes between the parties, unless mandatory legal provisions dictate otherwise.
