Terms & Conditions Template request 🙏

Scooter72 · May 16, 2023

Hi Sparkies,
I'm admin for my husband - he's the spark! I do all the business related things.We went self employed a couple of year's ago ( both very green with running a business

neither of us have ever done anything like this before and to say we are learning as we go would be an understatement - truthfully we are mostly just winging it. I have realised we really do need T's & C's attached to our quotes to offer important clarity to the customer and also to protect ourselves as we've had a few tricky customers in that time (only 2 or 3 but we realise we need to have some back up now as we feel quite vulnerable to being royally stitched up to be honest ( I know we will be told off for not having done this yet!

) ...so ANY advice would be great. Really ANY!

Thank you so much

I'm not aware of any templates. But you could have a look at websites that list their terms and conditions and glean some ideas. Probably best not to just copy and paste though, as they will need to be tailored to your own company and may also be subject to copyright.

If you do domestic work and in a Scheme, they should have a T&C template.

Yes he is a domestic installer with NICEIC. I hadn't thought to try them! There website is awful and wouldn't be suprised if they charge for it as they seem to charge for breathing

Good idea! I did read a very useful thread on here that an esteemed sparky posted listing his ever growing T&C's that he put up for another poster but lost the link.

The JCT small works form is made for just this sort of size and type of contract, it is legally recognised as a standard.
