Advice on Terms & Conditions
At Veritas Legal we will examine your
terms and conditions of trade for FREE and give you an honest
appraisal of their effectiveness and the protection they afford
you, having regard for your commercial activity. If you are
in specialist area of trading, then your terms and conditions
will invariably require a significant degree of legal expertise.
Whilst it is not practical or cost-effective
to take legal advice before supplying each customer, it is
advisable to take the advice of a solicitor when the terms
of 'Standard Conditions of Sale' are being drafted.
If we believe that your terms and conditions
need revamping or fall into a category that merits more examination,
then we have negotiated a special rate with a very experienced
commercial
solicitor at a leading Nottingham law firm at just
£395 plus VAT exclusively for Veritas Legal clients.
If you are uncertain about the effectiveness
