8. Independent Moving Companies
Moving companies listed on our platform are independent businesses unless expressly stated otherwise.
We do not generally employ the movers listed on the platform.
A customer's decision to hire a moving company is made independently.
Any contract for moving, transportation, packing, storage or related services is between the customer and the selected moving company.
9. Quotes
Moving companies may submit quotes through the platform.
A quote may include:
- Price
- Services included
- Moving date
- Estimated duration
- Additional conditions
- Additional charges
- Other relevant information
Quotes are provided by the respective moving company.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, Moving Made Simple Switzerland does not guarantee that a quote is accurate, complete or final.
Customers should review the quote and confirm the terms directly with the moving company before accepting the service.
10. Selecting a Moving Company
Customers are responsible for choosing the moving company they wish to hire.
Customers should consider factors including:
- Price
- Services
- Availability
- Reviews
- Company information
- Insurance
- Experience
- Any additional terms provided by the mover
Moving Made Simple Switzerland does not make the final decision for the customer.
11. Moving Contracts
Once a customer selects a moving company, the customer and moving company may enter into a separate agreement for the moving services.
That agreement may determine:
- Final price
- Services
- Moving date
- Cancellation terms
- Additional charges
- Liability
- Damage claims
- Insurance
- Payment arrangements
Customers should carefully review these terms before confirming a move.
12. Lead Services
Moving companies may receive access to customer moving requests through our lead-generation system.
Depending on the platform's current pricing model, movers may access leads using credits, paid lead purchases, subscriptions or other payment methods.
A lead purchase generally provides access to the relevant lead information.
Purchasing a lead does not guarantee that the customer will hire the moving company.
Moving Made Simple Switzerland does not guarantee:
- That a lead will result in a booking
- That a customer will respond
- That a customer will accept a quote
- That a particular revenue amount will result from a lead
13. Lead Distribution
We may limit the number of moving companies that can access a particular lead.
For example, a lead may be made available to a limited number of suitable movers.
Our matching and distribution system may consider:
- Service area
- Pickup location
- Destination
- Services offered
- Vehicle capacity
- Crew size
- Availability
- Other relevant criteria
We may change our lead-matching and distribution methods from time to time.
14. Credits
Moving companies may purchase credits to access certain leads or platform features.
Credits may be subject to:
- The price shown at the time of purchase
- The applicable credit package
- Any expiry conditions clearly communicated at purchase
- Our refund policy
- Account status
Credits are platform usage units and are not cash, electronic money or a bank balance.
Unless required by law or expressly stated otherwise, credits cannot be exchanged for cash.
15. Credit Purchases
Before purchasing credits, movers will be shown the applicable price.
Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers.
Once payment is successfully completed, the purchased credits may be added to the mover's account.
We reserve the right to investigate suspicious or fraudulent transactions.
16. Refunds for Leads and Credits
Our refund policy may vary depending on the circumstances.
A lead or credit transaction may be reviewed for refund where, for example:
- The lead is clearly duplicated
- The information is demonstrably invalid
- The lead was incorrectly generated by the platform
- A technical error caused an incorrect charge
Refund requests may be reviewed individually.
Refunds are not automatically available simply because:
- The customer does not respond
- The customer chooses another mover
- The customer rejects the quote
- The mover does not win the job
- The mover changes its mind after purchasing the lead
Nothing in this section limits any mandatory consumer or statutory rights.
17. Subscriptions
If subscription plans are introduced, the applicable plan price, billing frequency and included benefits will be displayed before purchase.
Depending on the selected plan, subscriptions may automatically renew until cancelled.
Cancellation will normally prevent future renewal but may not automatically refund amounts already paid, except where required by law or stated in the applicable subscription terms.
18. Payments Between Customers and Movers
Unless we expressly provide a payment service for a particular transaction, Moving Made Simple Switzerland does not process or guarantee payment between customers and moving companies.
Customers should confirm payment arrangements directly with their selected moving company.
If our platform provides a payment facility in the future, additional payment terms may apply.
19. Moving Services
Moving Made Simple Switzerland does not control the actual performance of moving services provided by independent movers.
We are not responsible for:
