Carpet fitter contract

About this document

Maybe you have had problems with clients about payment, or liability for things that should not be your fault. This simple contract will help to protect you. Most importantly, it provides the simplest way to deal with the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.

You can add anything extra that you need to have in writing but we have tried to cover the most important issues. Just add specification for actual carpet fitting work.

Private clients will not be happy to be offered a ten page legalistic document. This contract has been drawn to be sufficiently “unthreatening” as to enable you to obtain a client’s signature without delay or apology.

Key features

If you have not arranged for up front payment you are always at risk that your client will not pay. We give you the option of several alternative payment procedures from all up front to all on credit.

Limitation of liability also features large in this contract.
