Terms and conditions of supply (standard)

Business-to-business supplies of physical goods are not so heavily regulated as supplies to consumers, but there still is a certain amount of legal interference in this sort of contract, for example in the Sale of Goods Acts.

If you supply goods to a business without any written legal documentation some of the terms of the contract of supply may be uncertain while others may be unwelcome. For these reasons, you should always consider using written terms and conditions of supply. Where the contract involves high value goods, or there are any notable risks, you should always use written contractual terms.

These terms and conditions cover the basic matters relevant to a typical business supply contract, including charges and payment methods, the supply obligation, passage of risk in and title to the goods and product warranties They also include a skeleton order form.

Number of document instances

Document templates are the products available for sale on this website; whereas document instances are "clones" of the templates, which you can edit using Docular's online editor and export from the website.

We will update our document templates from time to time, but this will not affect your document instances. When you create a document instance, it will be based upon the latest version of the underlying document template at the time of creation of the instance, irrespective of your date of purchase.

You can save your document instance to our servers at any time, and return to editing later. Once you are happy with your editing, you can export the document and save it to your computer.

Number of websites or digital products

The licences include numerical limits upon: (a) the number of websites (including cloud services) on which documents may be published; and (b) the number of digital products (such as software programs) with which documents may be distributed.

Sub-licences permitted

All of our paid licences allow you to sub-license to a client of yours the right to use a document created using Docular.

When you sub-license that right, it becomes attached to the particular client. The number of sub-licences you may grant is numerically limited and, again, the limitation corresponds to the document instance limitation.

Document licence period

This is the period of the licence to use documents created using and exported from the Docular online editor. In short, the licences do not expire. There are no ongoing licence fees.

Credit for Docular

Each free template includes a textual credit for Docular (eg "this document was created using Docular") and you must retain that credit in all versions of the document.

Legal T&Cs

For full details of the licensing rules governing the use of Docular templates, instances and exports, see our terms and conditions.
