We are thinking about adding one of these. Anyone else do it?
The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Terms and condition are not contracts as both parties do not sign them, but they are telling your customer under what circumstances you are prepared to work.

These are excellent because they read as if they are all for the customers benefit while throwing in
a few that benefit the cleaner.
Need to be careful with terms and conditions as they have the potential of driving the customer elsewhere.
Why do you think big companies do their best to put the customer of reading them.

They're not supposed to read it though...
When you get an update on iphone the t&c's are 50odd pages long.
You're not supposed to read them, it's so that if they want to do something they can say 'we are within our rights-on page 42 of your t&c's, which you agreed to, we can do whatever it is...
