Are you Terms and Conditions of Business any good?

If you play any part in business these days, you will rely on your standard terms and conditions of trade to protect your interest and to limit your potential liability when providing goods or services to customers. Over time these standard terms and conditions often become outdated as the legal framework underpinning them changes. To ensure that your business can rely on its limitations of liability and is adequately protected standard terms and conditions should be regularly checked and where necessary updated.

If you trade online your terms and conditions should be altered on your website to include certain statutory information that some kinds of websites are required to supply to users such as the Distant Selling Regulations and Ecommerce Regulations. You can also expect that doing business with consumers rather than other businesses can attract more laws and regulations which restrict what you can put in consumer contracts. If you are trading using a website you will require a privacy policy and that is designed to inform website users about your processing of their personal data that is required under Data Protection Laws.
