Terms & Conditions NOT Online - (product)

TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE

These terms and conditions are suitable for use in England, Wales and Scotland for the sale and purchase of products offline.  It does not matter whether the customer is a businesses or a person (consumers).

What the terms and conditions contain

The following agreement provides a framework within which the buyer agrees to buy and the supplier agrees to sell certain products where the transaction is not conducted through a website.  It contains the terms and conditions under which the products will be supplied and on the basis of which the buyer will make payment for those products. It also deals with standard business eventualities such as overdue payments and cancellation or termination by either party. 

How to use the terms and conditions and why you should use them

Before you enter into an arrangement for sale and purchase, the terms and conditions must be agreed by both parties.  They need to be attached to the purchase order that details the products to be sold by the supplier.  Once this is done and the information required has been filled in where indicated, these terms and conditions will provide a set of guidelines that will govern the transaction.

Agreeing the basics of sale and purchase in advance will save both time and money in the long run, should any disputes or queries arise further down the line.  Having everything clearly set out in writing prevents any selective memory loss or issues with forgotten agreements.  It’s good business sense.
