General Terms and Precautionary Guidelines

1.1The customer(s) agrees to and understands that Midas Way will broker the shipment of the Vehicle(s)/Unit(s), the relevant information of which is provided by the customer to a licensed and insured Carrier(s) within the US. In simpler terms, when a customer authorizes Midas Way to broker their shipment to a carrier, they have granted permission to search for a suitable carrier to transport their Vehicle(s)/Unit(s) for the agreed-upon fee. However, this authorization does not imply that Midas Way is contractually liable for the availability of drivers, potential delays, or any unforeseen mishaps that may occur during the shipping process.

1.2The customer(s) understand that Midas Way does not have tracking devices to provide live or real-time updates or ETAs. Instead, updates are obtained manually from the Carrier and relayed to the customer. Furthermore, delays may occur due to bad weather conditions, road traffic, blockades, mechanical issues, or other unforeseen circumstances.

1.3The driver can only collect and/or deliver your shipped vehicle(s)/unit(s) door-to-door if semi-trucks have access at both the collection and delivery locations. If semi-trucks do not have access at either end, you must arrange to meet the driver at a nearby accessible area.

1.4In the event that the shipped vehicle(s)/unit(s) are inoperable or stationary, Midas Way will not provide or compensate for any towing services required to move the shipped vehicle(s)/unit(s) from or to an accessible area.
