Terms of Service & Moving Agreement

1. Agreement to Terms

By requesting or accepting an estimate, contract, or moving service from Tri Lece Movers LLC, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not book a move. A signed estimate and contract are required before any moving services begin (Fla. Stat. § 507.05).

2. Services & Service Area

Tri Lece Movers LLC provides household moving services in Pinellas County, Florida, and surrounding areas. Services include:

• Local (intrastate) moving — household moves within Florida
• Long-distance / interstate moving — moves crossing a state line, subject to federal FMCSA rules (see Section 12)
• Packing, loading & unloading — accessorial moving services
• Labor-only loading / unloading — moving labor without transportation

Junk removal and cleaning, if offered, are separate services with their own terms (Section 10). Tri Lece Movers LLC is a moving company, not a moving broker.

3. Estimates & Written Contract (Fla. Stat. § 507.05)

Before any moving or accessorial services begin, Tri Lece Movers LLC prepares a written estimate and a written contract. You and the company must sign or electronically acknowledge and date both. At a minimum they include:

• The company’s name, telephone number, and physical business address where employees are available during normal business hours;
• The date the estimate/contract was prepared and the proposed move date(s) (loading, transport, unloading);
• Your name and address, the pickup and delivery addresses, and a telephone number where you can be reached;
• The name, telephone, and physical address where your goods will be held if further transportation or storage is needed (including a fee dispute);
• An itemized breakdown, description, and total of all costs for loading, transportation, unloading, accessorial services, and storage; and
• The acceptable forms of payment, clearly disclosed.

4. Charges & Payment

You will see the full applicable charges before you sign. Charges that actually apply are itemized in your estimate/contract, which may include: the basis for hourly charges, minimum hours, travel/drive time, mileage, truck/fuel charge, packing, stairs or floor access, additional stops, storage, and any deposit. We do not add a blanket sales tax or card fee unless that specific charge is lawful and applicable to your move; any such charge is disclosed in writing before you sign.

Accepted forms of payment. We accept at least two of: (a) cash, cashier’s check, money order, or traveler’s check; (b) a valid personal check showing your name and address; or (c) a valid credit card (including Visa or Mastercard). The forms we accept are disclosed in your estimate and contract (§ 507.05(6)).

Any change to the agreed scope or price requires a documented, customer-approved amendment before the additional work is performed.

5. Valuation of Goods & Liability (Fla. Stat. § 507.04)

For Florida intrastate moves, Tri Lece Movers LLC may not limit its liability for loss or damage to household goods below $0.60 per pound per article (the Florida minimum). This “released value” is the default, no-cost coverage and is disclosed in writing in your estimate and contract before service begins.

If the company offers optional valuation coverage with higher protection, the price, terms, and per-article or lump-sum limit will be stated in writing in your contract. Optional valuation coverage is not labeled “insurance” unless that description is legally accurate; you may also check your homeowner’s or renter’s policy for separate coverage.

Source: Fla. Stat. § 507.04 (cargo legal liability valuation; minimum 60¢ per pound per article).

6. Delivery & Storage (Fla. Stat. § 507.06)

On delivery, Tri Lece Movers LLC relinquishes your household goods and places them inside your dwelling, or, if you direct, inside a storehouse or warehouse you own or rent — unless you have not tendered payment in the amount specified in the signed written contract or estimate. The company will not withhold delivery to demand an amount beyond what your signed contract requires.

The company will not refuse to relinquish prescription medicines, or goods for use by children (including children’s furniture, clothing, or toys), under any circumstances. The company will not refuse delivery based on a refusal to accept an acceptable form of payment.

If the company lawfully retains your goods (unpaid amount per the signed contract), it may place them in storage and will, within 5 days of your written request, notify you of the storage location and the amount due. The company will not require you to waive any right or protection granted by Florida law.

7. Cancellation, Deposit & Refund Policy

Our policy. You may cancel a scheduled move by calling (727) 314-2757 or emailinginfo@trilecemovers.com. Cancellations received at least 48 hours before the scheduled start time receive a full refund of any deposit. Cancellations within 48 hours may be charged a fee equal to the lesser of the deposit or the actual crew/time cost incurred. If the company cancels or fails to perform, any deposit is refunded in full.

Florida’s household-moving law does not give every customer an automatic three-day cancellation right, and not every deposit is nonrefundable in every circumstance. The specific deadline and any fee that apply to your move are stated in your signed estimate/contract. Any policy that differs from this section is flagged for legal review and will not be enforced until confirmed.

8. Customer Responsibilities

• Provide accurate pickup and delivery addresses, contact information, and access instructions;
• Disclose hazardous materials (explosives, flammables, chemicals) — the company cannot transport them;
• Personally transport irreplaceable or high-value items (cash, jewelry, documents, medications);
• Ensure safe access and parking for the moving truck at both locations; and
• Tender payment in an accepted form per the signed contract.

9. Electronic Signatures

Typing your name and clicking “Sign & Accept” constitutes your electronic signature, legally binding under the E-SIGN Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.) and Florida’s Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. The signed document version and timestamp are saved to your customer record.

10. Other Services (Junk Removal, Cleaning, Labor-Only)

Junk removal and cleaning, where offered, are separate services performed under separate agreement and are not household-moving services under Chapter 507. Labor-only loading/unloading is moving labor without transportation; the valuation in Section 5 applies to household goods handled. The party who contracts for and performs each service is identified in your estimate/contract.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Florida law and not inconsistent with Section 5, Tri Lece Movers LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. Nothing in these Terms reduces the company’s liability below the Florida minimum of $0.60per pound per article for loss or damage to household goods on an intrastate move.

12. Interstate Moves (FMCSA)

Moves that cross a state line are interstate and are governed by federal FMCSA rules, not Florida-only contract language. For an interstate move you receive the federal “Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move” notice, an FMCSA estimate, an Order for Service, and a Bill of Lading. The Florida-specific valuation, delivery, and registration terms above apply to intrastate moves only. Source: 49 CFR Part 375 (FMCSA interstate household-goods transportation: Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move; Estimate, Order for Service, Bill of Lading).

13. Governing Law

These Terms and any intrastate move are governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Disputes are resolved in the courts located in Pinellas County, Florida. Interstate moves are governed by federal law as described in Section 12.

14. Florida Mover Registration

Each advertisement includes “” as required by Fla. Stat. § 507.03 (mover registration; registration statement in estimates/contracts & advertisements). If the registration number is shown as pending, contact the company for the current verified number before booking an intrastate move.
