Terms & Conditions

These Terms and Conditions apply to all services arranged by CranePick, Inc.

1. Role of CranePick

CranePick is not a crane owner, operator, or equipment provider. CranePick coordinates crane rental services through independent third-party crane companies (“Subcontractors”). All crane equipment, operators, rigging, and lifting services are provided solely by these Subcontractors.

2. No Warranty

CranePick makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding any equipment or services provided by Subcontractors. CranePick does not manufacture, own, maintain, or operate the equipment and makes no warranty as to condition, capacity, fitness for a particular purpose, or absence of defects.

3. Indemnification

Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CranePick, its officers, employees, and agents from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses, including claims for personal injury, death, or property damage, arising out of or related to the services provided or the use or operation of equipment.

4. Direction of Operations

Customer is responsible for providing competent, qualified, and experienced personnel to direct all lifting operations and ground activities. Customer agrees not to exceed manufacturer-rated capacities and to comply with all applicable safety standards, regulations, and site requirements.

5. Site Conditions and Access

Customer shall provide safe, unobstructed access to the job site, including firm and level ground suitable for crane setup, assembly, disassembly, and operation. Customer is responsible for verifying ground conditions, underground utilities, and overall site suitability.

6. Excuse of Performance

CranePick shall not be liable for delays or non-performance caused by conditions beyond its reasonable control, including weather conditions, wind, lightning, labor disputes, equipment availability, governmental actions, acts of God, or other force majeure events. Any such delay shall extend performance timelines accordingly.

7. Subcontracting

CranePick reserves the right to subcontract crane services to qualified third-party crane companies. These Subcontractors are independent contractors and are not employees, partners, or agents of CranePick.

8. Subcontractor Liability

CranePick is not responsible for the acts, omissions, negligence, or performance of any Subcontractor. Any claims, damages, or disputes arising from crane operation, equipment performance, or onsite activities ultimately arise from the Subcontractor providing the service.

9. Quality Assurance

While CranePick does not warrant equipment or operations, it endeavors to coordinate reputable and professional crane companies appropriate for the scope of work and project requirements.

10. Payment Terms

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment terms are as stated on the applicable invoice. Full payment is required. Retention is not permitted. Customer agrees that payment obligations are not contingent upon payment from any third party.

11. Payment Flow

Customer payments are made directly to CranePick. CranePick, in turn, handles payment to the applicable Subcontractor(s).

12. Changes in Scope

Any changes to the scope of work after project commencement, including additional hours, delays, revised lift plans, or work outside the original scope, may result in additional charges, including overtime rates. All such changes will be communicated and approved prior to execution when practicable.

13. Dispute Resolution

Any concerns or disputes related to services should be directed to CranePick in the first instance. CranePick will assist in facilitating communication with the applicable Subcontractor but does not assume liability for Subcontractor performance.

14. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of a jurisdiction selected by CranePick, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

15. Late Payments, Interest, and Collection Costs

Any amounts not paid when due may accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (18% per annum), or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less.

Customer agrees to be responsible for all costs of collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, and collection agency fees, incurred by CranePick in connection with enforcing payment obligations.
