Terms & Conditions
Terms governing the use and booking of SafeGodown services.
Welcome to SafeGodown. These Terms & Conditions apply to enquiries, quotations, bookings and use of SafeGodown’s packing, moving, vehicle transportation, warehousing and storage services. By requesting or booking a service, the customer agrees to the terms applicable to the selected service, along with the quotation, service order or other booking documents issued for that service.
These terms are intended to clearly explain the general conditions under which our services are provided. Where a specific written quotation or service agreement contains service-specific terms, those terms will apply to the relevant booking.
1. Service Enquiry, Survey & Quotations
- Information provided by the customer about goods, quantity, weight, dimensions, pickup location, destination, floors, access conditions and service requirements should be accurate and complete.
- An online, telephone or preliminary quotation may be based on the information available at the time and may be revised after a physical or video survey where required.
- The final price may change if the actual quantity or volume of goods, access conditions, distance, floor level, waiting time, additional handling or other material service requirements differ from the information provided earlier.
- Any additional service or charge should be communicated to the customer before it is undertaken wherever reasonably practicable.

- Where an offer includes complimentary storage, transportation, packing or another service, the applicable duration, scope and eligibility will be confirmed at the time of booking.
- If a customer changes or cancels a booking after receiving a promotional benefit, the applicable terms for that offer and the confirmed quotation will determine whether any promotional benefit remains available.

11. Website Information
The information published on safegodown.com is provided to explain our services and assist customers in making an enquiry or booking. Service availability, pricing, routes, promotional offers and other operational details may change. A website page or general estimate does not by itself constitute a confirmed service contract.
Customers should rely on the quotation, service confirmation and other booking documents applicable to their specific service for final pricing, scope and schedule.
12. Privacy & Personal Information
Personal information provided through our website or during a service enquiry or booking is handled according to our Privacy Policy. Customers should provide only accurate information required for the requested service and should not submit unnecessary sensitive personal information through public website forms.
13. Force Majeure & Unavoidable Delays
Transportation and relocation schedules can sometimes be affected by circumstances beyond reasonable operational control, including severe weather, natural events, road restrictions, traffic disruption, government restrictions, accidents, strikes, civil disturbances or other unforeseen events. Where such circumstances affect a service, SafeGodown will make reasonable efforts to communicate the situation and coordinate an alternative schedule where practicable.
14. Changes to These Terms
SafeGodown may update these Terms & Conditions when its services, operating procedures or applicable legal requirements change. The updated version will be published on this page. The terms applicable to an existing booking will generally be determined by the quotation, service confirmation or agreement accepted for that booking, subject to applicable law.
15. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws applicable in India. Customers are encouraged to contact SafeGodown first so that service-related concerns, billing questions or complaints can be reviewed and resolved wherever reasonably possible.
Nothing in these Terms & Conditions is intended to take away any statutory right, consumer protection, remedy or forum available to a customer under applicable Indian law. Where a dispute cannot be resolved directly, the appropriate forum or court will be determined in accordance with applicable law and the circumstances of the dispute.
