Your terms and conditions are the only contract you control completely.
Every time a customer signs up on your terms rather than sending you theirs, you have set the liability position, the payment terms and the exit route in advance.
Businesses without their own terms negotiate the same points from scratch on every deal, from a worse starting position, and usually end up on someone else’s paper.
Terms copied from another website are worse than none, because they describe a different business and may not be enforceable at all.
Your terms of business are the standard contract you present to customers.
We help with:
- business to business terms and conditions;
- consumer terms;
- website and online sales terms;
- payment terms; and
- getting the terms properly incorporated so they actually apply.
We build terms around how your business really operates, then make sure they are enforceable with liability limited as far as the law allows and no further, exclusions that pass the reasonableness test, late payment interest, and the right consumer information and cancellation rights where you sell to the public.
Incorporation matters as much as content, so we tell you how and when to present the terms so a customer cannot later say they never saw them.
Our Approach
Legal advice that makes running and growing your business easier.
We start with your business, not the law.
Before we open a document, we want to understand what you are trying to do commercially. The legal answer is only useful if it serves that.
We get to the point.
You get a clear view of what matters and what does not, in plain English, with the real risks separated from the noise.
We give you an answer.
Not a menu of options and a shrug. We tell you what we would do, why, and where there is a genuine judgment call for you to make.
We stay available.
Whether you work with us on a single project or on a subscription, we are here for the follow-up question. We would always rather you asked.
