Online Shop Terms and Conditions of Sale (Consumers)

About this document

What it’s for

If you sell goods online to consumers you must give certain information before the order, confirm the contract afterwards, and respect statutory rights to cancel and to reject faulty goods. Terms that try to cut down those rights are unenforceable and can attract enforcement action. These terms are written to be clear, compliant and fair, so customers trust you and disputes are easier to resolve.

When to use it

  • For an online shop selling goods to consumers in the UK
  • When launching a new website or moving to a new e-commerce platform
  • When reviewing terms after a change in the law

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

How to complete it

  • Fill in your business details and delivery, returns and payment options
  • Make sure your checkout shows the key information and requires customers to accept these terms
  • Use the separate Returns and Refunds Policy and Delivery Policy for the detail, and link them from these terms

Key points to check

  • Selling to businesses or overseas needs different terms
  • If you sell digital content or services as well as goods, add terms for those

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
