Website terms and conditions: goods to business, no online payment
Comprehensive agreement to regulate the terms of an non e-
commerce website selling to businesses
About this document
Terms and conditions are the contract between you and your customer. Provided you comply with the general law, you can write what terms you like. The really important thing is to make sure that your terms accurately reflect exactly how you intend to “do business”.
It is expected that these terms will be both posted on the website and provided in a catalogue or at some other point before the contract is concluded.
This website terms and conditions document is suitable for a person or company selling physical goods of any sort through normal sales channels, not including e-commerce, to businesses. If you sell to consumers, use our ‘Website terms and conditions: goods to consumers, no online payment" document. These terms are suitable for selling to anywhere in the world, though we cannot be responsible for local laws in other countries.
If you have an ecommerce facility (customers pay through your website), use our "Website terms and conditions: goods to business, payment online" document. If you sell to consumers, return to the category menu, because you also have to comply with the Distance Selling Regulations and other consumer protection laws.
This document assumes you sell to an end user. Changes may need to be made to the paragraphs on delivery, risk and returns if you sell to wholesalers or distributors. If you do, you may like to consider agency and sales documents
