Plumber's Terms of Business (Business)

These Plumbing Terms and Conditions are designed for use by plumbers providing their services to business clients. The definition of a business client is broad and may range from the owner of business premises to a landlord seeking the services of a plumber to work on their residential properties. These terms of business are designed primarily for inclusion in a document such as a quotation or for display on a website. They can also be used as a stand-alone document.

This document is compliant with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

A "contract schedule" is also included which enables the terms contained within this document to be easily converted into a legally binding agreement.

This template has been updated to include a comprehensive set of new “boilerplate clauses”. These standard clauses are designed to offer greater legal certainty and protection for all parties concerned. Included in this update are more comprehensive terms covering force majeure, termination (with more instances in which an agreement can be terminated), assignment and sub-contracting and dispute resolution (with detailed options including good faith negotiations, alternative dispute resolution or “ADR” and arbitration). As a “business-to-business” document, these terms and conditions now also include a new confidentiality clause designed to protect sensitive business information.

Clauses in this document cover key factors including payment, the services themselves, the obligations of the respective parties, insurance and liability.

An alternative version of these terms is available which is designed for use by plumbers rendering their services to domestic (consumer) clients.

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 document.
