How's this....



   1. These terms and conditions shall be deemed to be incorporated into all contracts between [BUSINESS NAME] ("Supplier") and the person, persons, or company whose name appears overleaf ("Client") for the supply by the Supplier of goods and/or services specified overleaf. In the absence of express written agreement to the contrary such goods and/or services are tendered or delivered and work undertaken upon and subject to these terms and conditions only.
   2. The Supplier agrees to perform the work specified overleaf in a workmanlike manner using reasonable care to attain the best possible results. However, all liability will be excluded in respect of loss or damage arising from:
          * faulty manufacture or inherent defect in any material (''material'') which is subject of this contract;
          * misuse, damage or cleaning of any material by the Client prior to work being undertaken;
          * poor colour fastness or dimensional instability of any material which is not apparent on testing by the Supplier prior to work being undertaken;
          * manufacturers' or other colour dye markings on any material which is not apparent on testing by the Supplier prior to work being undertaken; or
          * failure to remove all stains and soiling.
   3. While the Supplier will use all reasonable endeavours to remove all stains and soiling from any material, no guarantee or warranty is given that all stains and soiling will be removed.
   4. All work is undertaken on a strictly cash on completion basis.
   5. Quotations for the supply of goods and/or services by the Supplier will be open for acceptance for a period thirty days from the date of the quotation unless otherwise stated by the Supplier in writing.       
   6. Any claim in respect of any goods and/or services provided by the Supplier under the terms of the contract must be notified to the Supplier within forty eight hours from the time of the provision of the goods or services by the Supplier and the Client agrees to allow the Supplier every opportunity to rectify or make good the matters giving rise to such complaint.
   7. Any dispute arising between the Client and the Supplier will be referred to arbitration by an independent arbitrator to be agreed between the parties, the costs of such arbitration to be borne, in the absence of any agreement between the Client and Supplier, by the party against whom the arbitrator's decision is made.
   8. In the event of the Supplier being prevented by act or default of the Client from carrying out the work at the agreed time and place, or in the event of less than twenty-four hours notice being given by the Client of cancellation of this contract, the Client shall pay to the Supplier a cancellation fee of £XXX  plus V.A.T. thereon at the appropriate rate.
   9. The Supplier will use its reasonable endeavours to arrive at or close to the agreed time, but cannot be liable for conditions beyond its control. Additionally, the Supplier is registered as a support service for domestic emergencies such as flooding, and whilst these situations are rare, the Supplier may find it necessary to reschedule non-urgent work in order to respond to an emergency.
  10. If the Client includes two or more persons such persons shall be jointly and severally liable for payment of the Supplier's invoice.
  11. The Client is responsible for payment of the Supplier's invoice even if -
          * someone else has agreed to pay the invoice;
          * the Supplier has agreed to send the invoice to a third party for payment on the Client's behalf; or,
          * you have the benefit of insurance.
  12. These terms and conditions do not affect the Client's statutory rights.


Just need to fill in the blanks and make a few tweaks here and there to suit your own needs ;)

Brilliant Jim Thats that covered then, have you considered a move in to law ;D.
 I think it is something we should all start to issue and get signed, especially the cancellation clause.

my terms and conditions are much simpler than that, if you don't pay in a reasonable time, the soil will be returned via letterbox. and with the water i used to clean it.

I've only actually ever asked about three domestic customers to sign that :)

You don't actually need them to put a signature on it, if they accept the quote and the T&Cs are included, by permitting you to work they are deemed to have accepted the T&Cs

After my recent trouble with a non-paying commercial customer (still not resolved :( )I've made a new policy to get every unknown new commercial customer to sign quotes.

Derek, the T&Cs are there to protect the customer as well as cover your own butt.

Ah Jim,

I am still using those T&Cs.

Those were the days 'company registered as support for fire and flood emergencies'.

'Yes Madam I have to go and do a flood I will be back later to finish your suite'. Honestly peeps we were supposed to do that.

Mind you I had the good days out of it. Glad I am out of it now. All the money is mine now and not giving it to the Franchise who was doing little or nothing to get it.

I think you made a good decision to get out of it if you were geared up for the insurance work.  The market's been through a bit of a change in the last few years, the fat cats are no more!

Glad I only do Res/Com, can't stand fires and floods :-\

Jim,

I did a flood for a Loss adjuster I used to work for. Got over £400.00 for a few hours work.

I thought if I get back in to the small end of it it'll be ok, but all the nightmares came 'flooding' back and thought better of it.

Just doing domestics and commercials now, I can go where I want to, no boundaries, moneys all mine. No VAT, fees's etc.
