FREE business terms and conditions review from Tebbitts & Co Commercial Solicitors in Crewe, Cheshire.

Businesses use standard T&Cs for many reasons. Many businesses use standard T&Cs without appreciating their importance. Frequently, businesses do not enter into written agreements or may take agreements from elsewhere. It is essential for businesses to use written agreements where possible and to adopt written terms that are pertinent to their business.

Importance of standard terms and conditions

Standard T&Cs, if used correctly and properly incorporated, are vital to income generation. They should form the basis of all contracts and provide a framework for day to day operations as well as protection in contractual matters. Businesses can sometimes overlook their standard T&Cs. Individuals within a business find themselves using standard terms because they are there without necessarily understanding their meaning or impact.

Problems often arise because by the time the standard terms are considered, a dispute has occured and the contract will already have been formed on the terms set out in the standard terms. At this stage it is often too late to challenge the standard terms . On occasions the need to secure revenue quickly may lead to reduced, or no legal involvement in the contracting process. This can lead to some of the following issues:
•Standard terms not being properly incorporated
•Terms being out of date
•Terms being inappropriate for business needs, or
•Disadvantageous unenforceable contracts

The above issues may expose businesses to some of the following risks:
•being subject to the other party's T&Cs, which may be more robust and onerous
•unenforceable provisions being contained in the standard terms, or
•unnecessarily binding the business to inappropriate terms.

Drafting a robust set of T&Cs tailored specifically for your own business which is pertinent for your industry is often an effective way to minimise the risk of problems arising and can appropriately manage your exposure to any liability.
