Compliance with Local Moving and Transportation Laws Policy

Last Updated: March 15, 2025

This Compliance with Local Moving and Transportation Laws Policy is published by Muvr Technologies, Inc. and its affiliates (“Muvr,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and applies to all use of our websites, mobile applications, and related services (the “Platform”) and all services arranged through the Platform, including Moves, Deliveries, Junk Removal, and Courier or delivery-type services (collectively, “Services”).

This policy sets expectations for compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing moving, hauling, delivery, transportation, disposal, and related activities. It applies to Providers (Movers, Haulers, Couriers), customers, business users, merchants, and partners as applicable. It supplements provider agreements, Vehicle Compliance Policy, Restricted and Prohibited Items Policy, Junk Removal Environmental and Disposal Policy, and safety policies.

Laws vary by jurisdiction. You are responsible for understanding and complying with laws that apply to you and your role. Where local law is stricter than this policy, local law controls.


1) Core principles

  • Services must be performed lawfully and safely.
  • Providers may refuse, pause, or stop a job if compliance cannot be maintained.
  • Customers and business users must not ask or pressure providers to violate laws or regulations.
  • Muvr may require documentation and may restrict Platform access for noncompliance.

2) Provider legal compliance obligations

Providers are responsible for compliance with all laws that apply to their work, which may include:

A) Licensing, permits, and operating authority

Depending on the jurisdiction and the type of service, Providers may be required to maintain:

  • business registration and local permits
  • moving company permits or household goods mover licensing
  • commercial operating authority and registrations
  • DOT or similar registrations for certain transport activities
  • permits for oversized loads where applicable
  • disposal permits or hauler registrations for junk removal where applicable

Providers must not perform services that require licensing they do not hold.

B) Insurance requirements

Providers must maintain required insurance coverage, which may include:

  • commercial auto insurance (for vehicle-based services)
  • general liability insurance
  • cargo or goods-in-transit insurance where required
  • workers compensation coverage where required by law (especially if using employees)

Muvr may require proof of insurance. Lapses may result in suspension or deactivation.

C) Vehicle and equipment compliance

Providers must comply with laws and standards related to:

  • vehicle registration and inspection
  • equipment safety and roadworthiness
  • load securement requirements
  • use of trailers and towing compliance
  • required safety equipment (straps, tie-downs, lights, reflectors)
  • hazardous materials restrictions and transport prohibitions

D) Driver compliance

Where driving is involved, Providers must:

  • maintain a valid driver’s license appropriate to the vehicle type
  • comply with traffic laws and safe driving practices
  • comply with any hours-of-service rules that may apply
  • not drive under the influence or while impaired

E) Waste handling and disposal (junk removal and hauling)

Providers must comply with environmental and disposal laws, which may include:

  • using permitted facilities
  • lawful sorting and recycling requirements
  • restrictions on hazardous waste and prohibited materials
  • documentation requirements for regulated disposal categories

Prohibited items must not be transported or disposed of through normal junk removal flows.


3) Customer and business user obligations

Customers and business users must:

  • provide accurate booking information (addresses, access conditions, item descriptions)
  • ensure legal authority to move, deliver, remove, or dispose of items
  • comply with building rules and obtain required move permits, reservations, or COIs
  • not request transport of prohibited items or illegal items
  • not request unlawful disposal or shortcuts
  • not pressure providers to violate laws, safety standards, or disposal requirements

If a job cannot proceed due to customer-caused legal compliance issues, it may be treated as a No Show or Inaccessible Job and charges may apply under applicable policies.


4) Restricted routes, special loads, and regulated goods

Some loads, items, or routes may require special compliance, including:

  • oversize or overweight items
  • loads requiring special securement or equipment
  • regulated goods and restricted items
  • cross-border transport requirements (state-to-state or international)
  • deliveries involving age-restricted items (where applicable)

If compliance cannot be confirmed, providers may refuse service or require changes.


5) Documentation and verification

Muvr may require Providers to submit or maintain documentation, which may include:

  • proof of identity and business registration
  • licensing or permit documentation
  • insurance certificates
  • vehicle registration, inspection, and driver documentation
  • disposal receipts or documentation for certain junk categories
  • incident reports and compliance attestations

Failure to provide requested documentation may result in suspension, limited access, or deactivation.


6) Refusal of service and safety stops

Providers may refuse, pause, or stop service when:

  • the job would require illegal activity or unlawful disposal
  • prohibited items are present
  • permits or access requirements are not met
  • the load is unsafe or cannot be secured lawfully
  • the job requires licensing or equipment not available
  • safety or compliance conditions are violated

If service is refused due to customer-provided items or conditions, cancellation/no-show rules and fees may apply.


7) Reporting and investigations

Users should report suspected legal or compliance violations through Support, including:

  • booking ID
  • location and time
  • description of the issue
  • supporting evidence where safe and lawful

Muvr may investigate and may take action based on evidence and risk.

False reporting is prohibited.


8) Enforcement

Violations may result in:

  • booking cancellation or refusal of service
  • account restrictions, suspension, or termination
  • provider deactivation
  • denial of refunds where permitted by law
  • reporting to regulators or law enforcement where required or appropriate

We may take immediate action where safety, legal, or compliance risk exists.


9) Policy changes

We may update this policy at any time. Updates will be reflected by the “Last Updated” date above. Continued use of the Platform after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy to the extent permitted by law.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
