Services Terms and Conditions Templates

Standard Service Terms and Conditions

These professionally drafted, up-to-date service terms and conditions are designed to help businesses of all sizes trade confidently when providing services to consumers or other businesses. Designed to be sufficiently flexible to cover a wide range of different service types, they provide a clear contractual framework, defining service scope, payment terms, responsibilities, liability, and key legal protections for both parties.

Whether you operate as a sole trader, consultant, or limited company, well-written terms and conditions are essential. They clarify expectations, reduce disputes, and help demonstrate compliance with the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982, the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977, and other key legislation.

What Do These Standard Service Terms and Conditions Cover?

These templates establish the contractual terms under which services are supplied, covering key provisions such as:

Service specification, performance standards, and timelines;
Fees, invoicing, deposits, and late-payment provisions;
Client obligations, cooperation, and information requirements;
Cancellation, delay, and force majeure clauses;
Liability limitations, confidentiality, and IP ownership; and
Data protection and compliance clauses referencing privacy and data policies.

They are available in both B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) formats, ensuring that the relevant obligations and legal rights of all parties are fully respected and compliant with the relevant legislation.

Which Templates Are Included in This Range?

The Standard Service Terms and Conditions range includes the following variants:

Standard Service Terms and Conditions (B2C)

Designed for service providers contracting directly with individual consumers, this version complies with the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and includes clear cancellation and refund rights.

Standard Service Terms and Conditions (B2B)

Suitable for businesses providing services to other organisations. This template removes consumer-specific rights, allowing greater contractual freedom while maintaining a fair balance of obligations.

Standard Service Terms and Conditions with IP Provisions (B2C)

Based on the standard B2C version above, this variant adds detailed intellectual property clauses — ideal where creative or technical work is delivered, such as design, content creation, or software development.

Standard Service Terms and Conditions with IP Provisions (B2B)

The business-to-business equivalent, incorporating robust IP ownership, licensing, and usage provisions. Suitable for agencies, consultants, or professional service firms delivering original or bespoke work to clients.

Standard Service Terms and Conditions with Project Milestones (B2C)

Designed for longer or staged consumer projects, this template introduces milestone-based service delivery and payment triggers while retaining consumer-law compliance.

Standard Service Terms and Conditions with Project Milestones (B2B)

The commercial counterpart for business clients, ideal for projects delivered in phases, such as construction, consultancy, or managed IT services. Includes provisions for milestone review, acceptance, and staged invoicing. (Note that such projects may raise additional compliance issues, which must be suitably addressed when using the template.)

What Are the Key Distinctions Between These Templates?

Consumer (B2C) vs Business (B2B): B2C versions incorporate statutory consumer protections such as cancellation rights and information requirements; B2B versions allow greater flexibility and commercial negotiation.
With IP Provisions: Adds optional clauses covering ownership, assignment, and licensing of intellectual property in any work created during the service.
With Project Milestones: Introduces a structure for staged projects, linking payments to completion of specific deliverables or milestones.

By choosing the right template, service providers can ensure that their terms reflect both their working practices and the nature of their client relationships.
