I think you might come unstuck trying get domestic customers to sign terms and conditions people don't like being tied to things like that.could b a little off pitting

[stfc]

Hi,Domestic customers even if they do sign,in a court of law it will not stand up,and to be honest why have terms and conditions on domestics who pay 6-7 pound,if they pay they pay,if they dont then they wont.Dont waste your time mate

There seems to be some confusion on terms and conditions of business and a contract. A contract you can take a customer to court on the condition you had agreed on are reasonable. If it will not be worth a 7-10 fee is another thing. But in the case of a company, yes.
Terms a condition is the first sign of a professional business who means business. I set out what you will do for your client and what they can expect from you service. Like wise what you would expect from them as a business. e g terms of payment. If you do not state how they must react they can just pay 6 month later. It is not about law but an appeal to there decent response to you as a business. Its there to prevent arguments and excuses at a later date’s g all payment exceeding 30 day of invoice will attract 2% interest. The customer will be liable to pay cost in the case of defaulted cheque( R D refer to drawer.)
 Its a professional thing to do and very business like. I already hear some saying I don’t need it. But that exactly why some of clients treat us like dirt, with contemp. I hope this might through some light in the matter.

We don't make our customers sign anything. We put general terms of business on our quote, things like we may be late in winter, and we may from time to time clean your windows in the rain.

We do this to try and stop customers turning us away if we turn up and there is a bit of a drizzle on.

You can have terms and conditions to let potential clients know how you operate, when they need to pay, fees incured for late paying etc, etc, and they may well look verp professional, but in the real world they mean absolutely nothing.

Late payment fees??

If they're the sort of client who routinely pays up late I'm pretty certain you aint going to squeeze any extra out of them; they'll just cancel.

To be honest mate you'd be better off saving your paper as they're a waste of time; no matter what's on the paper, at the end of the day the client calls the shots. If they want you to clean that day fine, if not they'll just say " not today thanks " and there's bugger all you can do, assuming you want to keep them on your books.

i do see what you are trying to say. ive seen alot of wc sites with a few terms.

ones i use are:

at least 3 cleans
one price for monthly and then goes up for 2 monthly - eg £10 per month & £12 per 2 months etc ......
£2.00 late payment charge to cover fuel and time - mainly used to hurry up payments - works well - if not then dump as not worth bothering with.

seen some sites say will charge full clean price for a door stop cancelling.
