Collection and redelivery

We shall make a good-faith effort to retrieve and redeliver the items by the times indicated in the order, but we cannot promise to do so. We make every effort to notify you via phone or email in the event of a delay and to deliver items to customers within the selected window of time. However, we disclaim all responsibility for any consequential damages that a customer may experience as a result of a delayed delivery.

If you cannot accept a redelivery of the items, we will get in touch with you via phone or email to set up a time that works for you.

A delivery fee of AED 18.00 will be imposed for each subsequent attempt at delivery if the customer is not available for delivery at the scheduled time.  Modern dry cleaners will make every effort to schedule a suitable time for redelivery.

We reserve the right to dispose of an item or give it to a recognised charity of Modern Dry Cleaner’s choosing if you have not accepted or arranged for redelivery of an item for longer than 30 days following the redelivery date stated in the order.

If you agree to do so at your own risk and the third party is ready to acknowledge it on your behalf, you may arrange to have items picked up from or re-delivered to a third party.

You may ask us to leave an item in a prearranged location by sending us written instructions; however, you are not required to give us a receipt. If you choose to do so, you do so at your own risk and at our discretion. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage to items that are re-delivered as a result.

You must make sure that we and/or our contractors have whatever access—including free parking—that may be reasonably needed to provide the services.

Service standards

We promise to deliver the services with appropriate care and expertise in compliance with high industry standards.

If you fail to submit accurate information in your order, such as if an address is missing or incorrect, or if you refuse to accept redelivery of items in compliance with an order, we will not be responsible for any delays or non-performance of our services.

Items that are submitted to us and have a higher chance of damage will not be covered by our liability policy, including but not limited to:

Wash and Tumble Dry Orders

Examining the Items

We do not accept liability for any items lost or damaged during the cleaning process; therefore, please make sure to carefully inspect every article of clothing for potentially dangerous objects like coins, pencils, keys, etc.

Procedure for Cleaning and Desiccating

The load is tumble-dried on medium heat and cleaned on a 30-degree cycle. We may not always be able to accommodate individual needs because of our large processing volume (e.g. temperature, washing powders, etc.). The garments have not been ironed, so please take note.

Separation of Colours

For you, we will sort the clothing into bright and dark categories. Despite our best efforts, we cannot be held accountable for any bleeding or colour transfer that occurs while the surface is being cleaned.

Bag Dimensions

We are going to weigh the laundry. A minimum of 6 kg is required. After we weigh it at the facility, we will update this. Orders weighing less than 6 kg will be billed at the cost of washing, tossing, and folding.

Items Damaged

We wash by the load and don’t check the care labels on every item; therefore, we won’t be responsible for any harm to the things. Please make sure that clothing that needs particular care, such as leather, silk, cashmere, fur, velvet, and other delicate materials, may be machine washed and tumble-dried.

Attaching tags

Instead of being branded individually, laundry items are tagged by the load. As a result, we are unable to assume any responsibility for lost goods.

If there is a problem with the services, please email customer service at nfo@moderndrycleaners.ae.com using the contact information on the app, and let us know as soon as you can. We will handle your complaint without charging you.

If you think that We are not upholding our end of the bargain under these terms, you should notify us of your concerns within 24 hours of any item being re-delivered.

Price and payment

The cost of the services will be quoted at the moment you place your order and will be included in Our price list, which is available via the App or at https://moderndrycleaners.ae/. We reserve the right to alter our prices at any moment, but orders that we have accepted in line with paragraphs 3.2 or 4.3 will remain unaffected.

For the supply of our Services, we retain the right to charge a service fee, which may vary. Before making a purchase, you will be informed of any applicable taxes and service fees on our application’s checkout page.

Depending on the laws of the country where the order is being served, our pricing can contain VAT. Nevertheless, we shall have to modify the rate of VAT that you pay if the tax rate changes between the time we approve your order and the time of payment.

Our liability to you

Should an item be lost or damaged, Modern Dry Cleaners will reimburse you per the Textile Services Association’s Fair Compensation Guidelines. According to TSA guidelines, reasonable and equitable compensation must be given, taking into account the item’s age and a wear and tear allowance. Before agreeing to any compensation, it is deemed appropriate for us to request bank or credit card bills as well as receipts attesting to the purchase price.

If found accountable, we’ll adhere to TSA regulations. The amount of compensation will not cover additional expenses incurred in order to purchase the item, such as shipping, customs, altering fees, etc. If a proof of purchase is presented, indicating the item’s worth and the date of purchase, our entire obligation to you with regard to each item is capped at ten times the price we charge for the services, but not more than AED 150.00.

After delivery, you must inspect the items. If you find anything missing or damaged, you must notify us of it within 48 hours of getting the items. We reserve the right to examine any claimed damage to any item and to take images of it.

Items that have been cleaned by you or a third party, were not submitted for inspection, or do not have the original dry cleaning ticket attached will not be covered by us for any damage.

You understand that we do not know how much the items are worth, and we strongly advise you to get insurance to protect the items.

As per the next sub-paragraphs, we shall furnish compensation (in compliance with 11.1) for any loss or harm resulting from our negligence.

Before the collection, unless we have received (and accepted) information via email, we will not be liable for any single item worth more than AED 500.00.

You won’t be held liable by us for any loss or harm that is expected. If loss or damage is an evident result of our breach, or if it was anticipated by the US and you at the time we entered into a contract for the services, then it is foreseeable.

We shall not be liable to you for any loss of profit, business interruption, or lost business opportunity if you use the services for any kind of commercial, business, or resale purpose.
