PAYG services website terms and conditions

This website terms and conditions template is designed for use in relation to websites that supply services on a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) basis to businesses and/or consumers.

The terms and conditions document says nothing about the specific nature of the services being provided. Some services will be subject to special regulation, while other services will give rise to special legal risks: in each case, you will need to adapt the document accordingly.

A distance selling clause is included in the document. Required by legislation, this clause allows consumers to cancel contracts for services within a 14 day cooling-off period, although there is no right to cancel if the services are completed, and if the services are partially completed only partial refunds need be given.

The document covers all the usual subject matter of website T&Cs: copyright, rights to use the website, acceptable use restrictions, rules regarding website accounts, user-generated content licensing and prohibitions, limitations of liability, and so on.

This document should not be used where services are supplied on a subscription basis: we have a dedicated subscription website T&Cs document for that situation.
