Ahadi may cancel an order for Services if you, or someone else at the location to be serviced, is being, is in the process of being, or has been evicted. Prohibited Property
Ahadi may refuse to provide or limit the Services and/or your order may be canceled if it is determined, in Ahadi sole discretion, that the property you have requested to be moved is prohibited by these Terms, including property explicitly prohibited.
Dangerous, Hazardous, or Unsanitary Conditions
If the location where the Services are to be performed is either too dangerous, hazardous, or unsanitary, in Ahadi’s sole discretion, Services may be refused or canceled. For example, your order may be canceled or rescheduled if the location does not meet reasonable cleanliness standards and/or poses a potential health or safety risk (e.g., an unfinished attic, a hoarding scenario, the presence of animal or other human waste products, a flooded or recently flooded location, etc.). Inclement Weather

Personal property lost or stolen because Providers must travel a significant distance (in Ahadi’s sole discretion) between a moving vehicle and your personal property shall not be covered by the Damage Protection Policy.
Unless otherwise provided herein, if your order is canceled or rescheduled based on the foregoing Terms or any other Term in this agreement, you will be subject to all applicable cancellation or rescheduling fees.
- PROPERTY DAMAGES; AHADI’S DAMAGE PROTECTION POLICY
AHADI is a moving company that portrays the highest levels of professionalism in moving services, Ahadi may make any representations or warranties with respect to the quality of Services that you may receive and does, guarantee that any Provider will not damage or lose any of your property. As an independent moving company, Ahadi shall be liable for any property damages that you may sustain as a result of the performance of the Services by Providers. Ahadi will agree to provide you with the voluntary damage protection set forth below if you timely file a claim with Ahadi. Ahadi will not provide you with any other property damage protection other than as set forth below, and by placing an order with Ahadi, you understand and agree that you will be entitled to recover from Ahadi for any other damages to your property, whether such damages arise in contract, tort, or otherwise. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS CAREFULLY, AS THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. If you do not agree to Ahadi’s Damage Protection Policy or are in need of additional protection for your personal or real property, you should obtain additional insurance protection from an insurance carrier for your personal or real property prior to the performance of any Services.
Note that you may not obtain coverage under the Damage Protection Policy and obtain damages from a Provider (or any insurance policy insuring such Third Party Providers). By choosing to pursue a claim under the Damage Protection Policy, you hereby waive and release the Providers from any and all liability for damages that you have sustained as a result of their performance of the Services and agree that the maximum liability for any damages to your personal or real property shall be as set forth herein.
In addition, in order to access and use the Providers on the Ahadi Platforms, you agree that no Provider shall be liable to you for any damages in excess of the damages to which you would be entitled under the Damage Protection. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that if you choose to pursue a claim against any Provider instead of Ahadi, your claim with such Provider shall be governed by the same terms, conditions, limitations, and waivers as set forth below. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Providers are intended beneficiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recovery Rate limitation on liability shall not apply to a claim by you against a Driver for damages caused to your personal property as a result of a motor vehicle accident. Such limitations shall, however, apply to any such claim by you against Ahadi.
8.1 Damages to Personal Property Caused by Providers
If a Provider arranged by Ahadi to provide you with labor Services (a “Laborer”) damages or loses your personal property while moving your personal property, including, while loading or unloading your personal property in a transportation vehicle provided by you, another company, or a Provider arranged by Ahadi to provide you with transportation Services (a “Driver”), or if (and only if) your order includes both labor and transportation Services (also referred to as “Movers + Truck”) and your personal property is damaged in transit (i.e., during shipment) as a result of the negligent packing of your personal property in a transportation vehicle by a Laborer or by the negligent driving of the Driver, Ahadi will assume liability for your damaged personal property items per item damaged provided. For the avoidance of doubt, Ahadi will not assume any liability for any damages that occur in transit if you have ordered only labor Services (also referred to as a “Labor-only Moving Help”) and not additional transportation Services. (In other words, Ahadi will not assume any liability for any damages that occur in transit if you have not submitted a Movers + Truck order). In addition, if you have ordered only labor Services (i.e., submitted a Labor-only Moving Help order), Ahadi’s maximum liability for such order shall be reduced.
By way of example, but not limitation, to illustrate how the Damage Protection Policy applies, if you have ordered both labor and transportation Services (Movers + Truck) and a Laborer fails to adequately secure with sufficient protective padding Ahadi will take liability if you timely file a claim for damages with Ahadi.
On the other hand, if you order only labor Services (Labor-only Moving Help) to assist you in packing a container for shipment by a transportation company and the same mirror is shattered during shipment, Ahadi will not assume any liability for the broken mirror. However, if a Laborer drops the same mirror while moving it into the container for shipment and such mirror is damaged, Ahadi will assume liability if you provide evidence, in Ahadi’s sole discretion, that the damages occurred prior to any shipment and timely file a claim for damages with Ahadi pursuant to the provisions below.
For purposes of determining the weight of a particular item that qualifies for protection under the Damage Protection Policy, each shipping piece or package and the contents thereof shall constitute one item. In addition, the component parts of any single item disassembled for the purposes of handling, loading, and/or transporting such item shall constitute one item.
If you have personal property that significantly exceeds the Recovery Rate or if you have ordered only labor Services that will not qualify for the Damage Protection Policy for damages that occur during transit, Ahadi strongly advises that you take extra precautions to ensure the safety and security of your items, including, but not limited to, by wrapping and protecting the items with your own materials prior to handling by a Laborer, ordering or providing extra padding and other packing materials for the Laborers to use to secure and protect the item, directing the Laborers to take extra precautions with your items, moving or transporting the items yourself, and/or purchasing insurance for such items. Personal property that may significantly exceed the Recovery Rate includes, by way of example, but not limitation, jewelry, silverware, china, furs, antiques, oriental rugs, computer software, paintings, statues, fine art, custom furniture, and electronics devices.
By receiving and accepting the Services, you expressly acknowledge and understand that you shall not be entitled to any other damages to your personal property, whether to high priced items, items of sentimental value, or otherwise, other than as set forth herein, regardless of whether such damages are negligently or intentionally caused by any Laborer or Driver (if applicable).
8.2 Damages To Real Property Caused By Providers
If a Provider (whether a Laborer or Driver) causes damage to your real property while performing the Services and you timely file a claim for damages, Ahadi will only assume the following liability for damages, provided that all your damages, whether to real or personal property shall be subject to the maximum total per order limitations.
Damages to Wood Floors
In the event that wood floors are damaged, Ahadi will only repair or replace the local area damaged. Ahadi will not resurface or refinish the entire floor and does not guarantee an exact match with any original pre-Services finish. In addition, Ahadi will only offer the reasonable market rate, in its sole discretion, for repair of the local area damaged.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ahadi will not pay for any minor nicks or scratches or dents to wood flooring that, in Ahadi’s sole discretion, may be expected as part of completion of the Services. You should cover your wood flooring with protective materials, including, but not limited to, ram board or other floor protection rolls, doormats, cardboard, rugs, or runners, prior to receiving any Services. You should also ensure that any furniture that you need moved is placed on sliders or that sliders are made available to the Laborers. In addition, if you do not have any covering for your wood flooring, you should not permit the Laborers to use any dollies or other hand trucks, which may be more likely to cause damage to your wood floors.
Damages to Handrails, Walls, Doors, and Drywall
Ahadi will not be liable for what Ahadi, in its sole discretion, determines are minor nicks, scratches, or scuffs to the real property, including, but not limited to, any paint damage, that you may incur as a result of the Laborers’ performance of the Services. Ahadi may, but shall not be required to, assume liability for what Ahadi determines, in its sole discretion, constitutes significant damage to handrails, walls, doors, and/or drywall. In such case, Ahadi will, at its option, either (i) repair the damage to the extent necessary to restore it to the same condition in which it existed prior to your receipt of the Services or (ii) pay you for the cost of such repairs based on a reasonable market rate for such services, as determined by Ahadi in its sole discretion.
Damages to Mailboxes
If an Ahadi Mover damages your mailbox while performing the Services, Ahadi will offer to, at its option, either (i) repair the damage to the extent necessary to restore it to the same condition in which it existed prior to your receipt of the Services, (ii) pay you for the cost of such repairs based on a reasonable market rate for such services, as determined by Ahadi in its sole discretion, (iii) replace the damaged mailbox with one of like kind and quality, or (iv) pay you for the cost of a replacement.
Ahadi will not be liable for any other damages to your real property, including, but not limited to, for any damages to lawns, landscaping, sprinklers, sidewalks, or driveways (including, without limitation, any cosmetic damage to driveways or other concrete or paved areas). You should not allow any transportation or other vehicles to park on your driveway or sidewalks if they are not capable of supporting such vehicles or if you are concerned that they may damage your driveway, sidewalks, or lawn. You should notify Ahadi prior to any Provider arriving to perform the Services so that they may make arrangements to park on a street or other designated area.
8.3 Filing Claims Under The Damage Protection Policy
If you have sustained damages to your personal or real property as a result of your receipt of the Services from a Provider, you must file a claim for damages within five (5) business days after you receive the Services at issue. Your claim for damages must be filed within the five (5) day claim period (the “Claim Limitations Period”) regardless of any other dispute that you may have. Claims may only be filed by the individual that booked the order for Services or the owner of the personal or real property damaged by the Providers. Failure to timely file a claim within the Claim Limitations Period will result in an absolute bar to any claim that you have against Ahadi for damages to your personal or real property, regardless of whether such damages arise in contract, tort, or under any other legal theory.
To file a claim for damages under Ahadi’s Damage Protection Policy, you must contact the Ahadi Team at the Claim Center. You may contact the Ahadi Team by following the links at the Website https://ahadimovers.com/ by submitting a request to sales@ahadimovers.com, or by requesting to speak with Ahadi Team at +254721 90 90 90 . Relevant documentation includes, but is not limited to, a description of the damaged property, the nature of the damages, the weight of the item(s), and any pictures evidencing your damages.. When submitting a claim to Ahadi’s Team, all claims for damages must be included in the original job order. Additional claims for damages based on the same order for Services that are submitted after the original claim has been filed will not be accepted and shall be deemed waived.
Once your claim has been filed, you agree to cooperate with Ahadi in its investigation into your claim (e.g., by submitting documentary and other evidence requested by Ahadi, including, without limitation, additional pictures). If you fail to cooperate with Ahadi while it is assessing the claim or if your claim is not resolved within thirty (30) days due to some action or inaction on your part, Ahadi may, in its sole discretion, deny your claim in its entirety, and you agree that Ahadi nor any of affiliates will be liable for any damages to your property.
After Ahadi has reviewed your claim and any evidence submitted by you in support of your claim, Ahadi will issue you a claim settlement offer. You must accept or reject the settlement offer within thirty (30) days of the date that you received Services. For example, this means that if you receive a settlement offer fourteen (14) days after you received Services, you will have sixteen (16) days to accept or reject the settlement offer. Your claim should be resolved within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the Services at issue. If you do not respond to a settlement offer after receipt and within such thirty (30) day window, your claim will be denied in its entirety, and you will not be entitled to any damages under the Damage Protection Policy.
