The Legal Risk Score of a Terms of Trade Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • There is a risk related to payment obligations, as the document allows the supplier to demand immediate payment for overdue amounts and apply high interest rates, which could financially strain the customer if payments are delayed.
  • The document permits the supplier to amend quotes and charges unilaterally, which could lead to unexpected costs for the customer if the scope of the goods or services changes after an order is placed.
  • The title and risk provisions transfer the risk to the customer upon delivery but retain title to the goods with the supplier until full payment is made, potentially complicating ownership and liability if disputes arise over payment or the condition of goods upon delivery.
