Terms & conditions for sales facilitation for South Africa

If you sell goods, the basic systems and procedures you will have in place are likely to be similar to those another business which sells goods would have in place. Thus, a template document such as this provides suitable and comprehensive protection for your business.

This document goes above and beyond the norm - it provides for less common situations and a wider range of businesses. For example, it may be suitable for an industry based purchasing club or co-operative venture as well as “for profit” services.

• It is suitable for “member” businesses or businesses where there is some involvement by its clients or customers and not a mere purchase of services;
• It is suitable for services set up in the form of a club.
