(viii) The total estimated price, including all anticipated fees and charges, based on the specific circumstances of the services to be performed.

2. Before providing any household goods moving services, the household goods mover must also provide the consumer with a clear and conspicuous disclaimer with the following language: "By signing this disclaimer, I acknowledge that the household goods mover may refuse to unload and deliver my household goods until I have paid the total estimated price set forth in this contract. I can cancel this contract at any time prior to the moving company providing services." The disclaimer must be signed by the household goods mover and the consumer.
