WHY GETTING BUSINESS TERMS AND CONDITIONS IS CRITICAL

Businesses enter into arrangements with customers every day. They may be contracts for small or large amounts of money, and may have short or long term implications. Their Business Terms and Conditions are the basis on which these arrangements are entered.

In order to prevent a dispute down the track, and to increase the chances of being paid, business terms and conditions should always be in writing. In addition, Businesses should ensure they have had their Terms and Conditions reviewed before using them with customers. Not all contracts are created equal.

We too often see Business owners who do not understand the terms and conditions of the agreements they are using with their customers. This can lead to a failure to comply with their obligations or an inability to enforce a debt. Many businesses are left unprotected.
