Why plasterers need proper terms and conditions

A short quote is often not enough to protect your business. Without clear terms, disputes can arise about what was included, when payment is due, whether a deposit is payable, who is responsible for delays, what happens if framing or surfaces are not ready, and whether the customer can withhold payment.

This template helps create a clearer process by linking your quote, your customer communications and your terms and conditions together.

The template has been created so you can add the terms to your quoting or accounting system as:

• a standard terms block;

• an attached PDF;

• a downloadable document;

• a website terms page; or

• a hyperlink in your quote and invoice templates.
