ContractStore Legal Business Blog

ContractStore has collaborated with Lawpack to launch a new guide: the Business Terms and Conditions e-kit.

Available to download online as an e-kit, this 50 page book includes guidance on the key terms that a business should include in its Terms of Business including topics such as

• price and payment
• delivery
• recourse for faulty goods
• force majeure
• limits of liability
• termination.

There is also advice on debt recovery and a range of other subjects including how to get the best out of your lawyer.

The e-kit contains a number of sample documents including Terms & Conditions for supplying goods and services.

Written by three solicitors who specialize in commercial law, including ContractStore’s founder, Giles Dixon, this invaluable guide is priced at £19.99 (£17.50 plus VAT).

The Business Terms and Conditions e-kit is available online at http://www.contractstore.com/business-terms-and-conditions-ekit

Jennifer Smith, co-founder of OneIS (www.oneis.co.uk) contacted ContractStore after hearing about us in Delia Venables’ Internet Newsletter for Lawyers.

OneIS provides a secure, online space for small organisations to store and share all their information. In effect it’s like having an intranet or shared network, without the expense and IT hassle of running your own servers. Clients pay a monthly subscription to store their documents and other information in the application, hosted securely by OneIS.

Jennifer sought a contract giving the terms of service for providing the hosted information management system.

This type of hosted service is becoming increasingly popular, so we were happy to hear from Jennifer and produce a template contract for the catalogue.

Jennifer, who describes herself as being “obsessed with efficiency and improving business through better information management”, told us:

“We needed terms of service for OneIS but I didn’t want to spend the £850+ I was quoted by traditional law firms. So I approached Giles at Contract Store who sorted us out very promptly and professionally for a fraction of the price being quoted by others.

“I’m so pleased to have found your service. I thought getting our terms written would be a horribly lengthy and expensive process, but it has been really quick and easy.

“I have been recommending ContractStore to other startup companies – all of whom would benefit from the cost-effective, no hassle legal services you provide.”
