Once you choose a Mover, Bookamove has no involvement or control over the actual transaction. You will enter into separate agreement(s) with the Mover of your choice regarding the actual move; such agreements may include, but are not limited to, a Written Estimate, Order for Service, and Bill of Lading. Although Bookamove will require all Movers to agree to provide the requested services at the estimated price generated through the Services, and will contractually restrict Movers from changing the estimated price generated through the site, Bookamove cannot and will not have any control over the Movers' adherence to these or any other terms of service; therefore, in addition to the other disclaimers described, Bookamove makes no representations or warranties that the price will be honored or unaltered by Movers.
