Terms/ Conditions on Invoice

[andybike]

Hi~ Am a subbie groundie and issue a basic invoice for work done. People have mentioned I have no terms on invoice which they say could cause problems.Is there a basic template I could use, or what do others put. Payment after * days, charges after late payment etc? Hope someone can help.

Thanks Andy

Strictly speaking, terms on an invoice are 'after the fact' and unenforceable beyond what a court would see as standard terms and conditions. You need to have a basic contract set out if you want to be able to rely on any terms.

Thanks for info, will have to sort something out to pass on. Am really just after basic ideas to cover late payment. Thanks Andy

I don't have T&C's on an invoice, if your working for other companies and invoice them most will pay on a set day of the week, you may have to case a few up but I've always been paid.

If I'm doing one of my own jobs I put basic T&C's on my quote and point customers to my full T&C's on my website.

As Felix has said it's 'after the fact' and you can't really enforce anything that late in to a contract.

Have you had a look under help for arborists on arboricultural association website. There's a template in there you can utilise.
