3. Credit Card Information
 

PUMS offers multiple payment methods, including payments made by debit or credit card as well as checks. We accept all major credit cards, however using an American Express card requires a small additional processing fee.
 

All payments and credit card information will be processed through Stripe, our third-party service provider. PUMS does not store your card, expiration date, or card verification value numbers. The credit card used for payment will, however, be kept on file with Stripe. This credit card on file will be used to charge any other service charges or related fees. All purchasing items through our company are standard and written out online and within our contract. You will not be invoiced or receive notification prior to PUMS charging your card on file with Stripe. You may change the form of payment on file by contacting PUMS agents. 
 

In the event that PUMS is unable to process the debit or credit card information you have provided for any reason, you acknowledge that you shall remain indebted to PUMS until the balance owed is submitted by you and successfully received by PUMS. Should you neglect paying the remaining balance due, PUMS reserves the right to retain your personal belongings until payment is received in full. You both acknowledge and understand that delayed payments may cause delays in delivery and possible rescheduling fees in which you will be responsible for that may result from having to reschedule delivery of your Items. Balances for storage services that are not paid within the storage period may result in the holding of the Items as collateral until payment is received. If payment is not received, your belongings will be deemed abandoned and may be auctioned. 
 

If in the event that your items have been delivered and we have no received payment, you are subject to be court ordered to pay remaining charges. Texas Law protects against unpaid labor wages with fines up to over $1,000 or even arrest depending upon cost unpaid.
 

4. Prices and Fees
 

All prices are listed in our shop as well as our online forms. Prices are subject to change without notice. The price listed on the PUMS website on the date and time you place your order is the price that will be locked in place for your service order.

​

In addition to the prices listed on our website, various fees may apply as described below for changes to services ordered or special arrangements made. You understand and agree to pay PUMS for any of the charges and/or fees that apply to you. These fees are used to compensate PUMS for its additional expenses incurred as a result of the deviation from the standard processes and procedures of PUMS assistance.

 

Upon submission of a college move form, there is a note you acknowledge that additional charges may apply due to PUMS needing to disassemble and/or reassemble anything owned by the client. Any additional time spent during your move can impact the move time of others after you. 

 

If a student makes a scheduling change after May 1st there is a $50.00 rescheduling fee. 
 

When promotional discounts apply, they will be clearly defined as to what items are being discounted. Discounts do not apply to any additional fees or service charges.

You are solely responsible for packing boxes. Our website provides packing tips to assist you in packing your boxes; however, it is your responsibility to use your best judgment while packing your items into the boxes.

PUMS offers individual box items and Box Packages to aid in a more convenient move. The boxes/supplies ordered will be delivered to your door, and you will be responsible for packing your items inside. Once your items are packed away, PUMS or UPS member (depending on location) will arrive on your scheduled date and time to retrieve the boxes (and other items previously discussed) and deliver them to your new location, or hold them in our storage facility until your requested move date. You are responsible for obtaining the proper packing supplies and boxes prior to your selected pickup date and time for any PUMS service if you do NOT order boxes and supplies from our company.
 

Each additional box or item that does not fit into a sealed box is a separate "item" for purposes of pricing listed in the PUMS services. All items must fit into the boxes; no protruding/stuffing of items will be accepted. PUMS is not liable for items being broken or damaged during move. Proper packing and safety precautions for our customers belongings is the sole responsibility of our clients.

PUMS follows and obeys to all terms and conditions of university housing policies as made known to PUMS. While in residence halls PUMS requires you to accompany PUMS representatives at all times. If for any reason access to residence halls is limited to PUMS by university policy, it is your responsibility to arrange a pickup and/or delivery location that PUMS may accommodate. This may require you to bring your Items outside to PUMS representatives. All fees and other terms from this Agreement will still apply for your service regardless of changes made because of university policy.
 

7. Contract Signatures
 

At the time of ordering services, you will be allowed to designate an alternate contact for your order ("Parent/Guardian Contact"). The individual does not need to be the legal Parent/Guardian of the main individual, but this is the option title for there to be any “other” or “alternate” contact for the order and services placed with PUMS. The individual you have named as your alternate contact will be entrusted with your belongings in your absence - for signing, for pick up/delivery, for authorizing the charge, for the services to the credit card on file, and also for confirming the physical state of your belongings upon delivery. Your alternate contact can be changed prior to your service date by contacting PUMS. PUMS is entitled to rely upon the representations made by your alternate contact if the main contact in unavailable.

Pick ups and deliveries scheduled during a PUMS standard move period for a standard PUMS campus location are included within the cost of the PUMS storage services. There are a limited amount of standard moves prearranged per pickup and delivery time slot for each standard move period. Students that select their time slot after this assigned number has been met will need to contact PUMS or select an alternate date/time to complete the services. To avoid these additional peak time fees, schedule your pickups and deliveries as far in advance as possible.

At the request of you or your alternate contact, if no one is available to be present at delivery, PUMS may leave your Items outside the scheduled delivery location in which PUMS's responsibility and liability for your items would be terminated at that time. In such an instance, the PUMS representative will sign the delivery form indicating the physical state of the Items as of the time of delivery. This will be the authoritative statement as to the condition of your Items.
