Doorstep Selling of Variable Priced Goods Terms & Conditions
These Doorstep Sale of Variable Priced Goods Terms & Conditions have been designed for use by businesses that sell their wares on a door-to-door basis as opposed to selling to customers through, for example, retail premises or e-commerce.
This template can be used where the goods sold include goods whose price may vary according to fluctuations in financial markets. The “cooling-off” period and right to cancel mentioned below does not exist in relation to such goods.
For transactions involving goods which are consumable, perishable or intended to be fitted into the customer’s home, please see the specific sets of terms and conditions relating to such scenarios.
This document complies with the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The language and presentation of the document are designed to be “consumer-friendly” and the document should make sense to an average consumer who has no specialist business or legal knowledge.
The template also complies with the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. In particular:
- Customers entering into contracts “off the premises” of the seller are given a cooling-off period. The cooling-off period starts when the contract is made and ends 14 days after the goods come into the physical possession of the customer. This means the customer can change their mind for any reason and return the goods to the seller.
- The customer is given a clear and concise summary of the pre-contract information they are entitled to receive.
Detailed guidance on the 2013 Regulations can be found in our Information Pages.
It is important for all traders to be aware of their obligations and the rights of their customers under consumer protection laws. This template has been drafted with these laws in mind. Take care when amending the template to remain compliant with the legislation and, in particular, make sure you do not include any terms that may be deemed “unfair”.
Optional phrases / clauses are enclosed in square brackets. These should be read carefully and selected so as to be compatible with one another. Unused options should be removed from the agreement.
