Contracts, Terms & Conditions — Credit Reality
Approx. 45 min webinar · Credit Thursdays · Watch on YouTube
This webinar walks your credit team through the legal framework behind every T&C you send and every credit application you accept. Contracts, Terms & Conditions — Credit Reality covers what makes a credit agreement enforceable, where standard T&Cs typically fail, and how to close the gaps before a debtor exploits them in court.
Whether you are reviewing your current T&Cs, onboarding a new credit customer, or chasing a debt you cannot seem to recover — this session gives you the practical framework to protect your business from the paperwork up.
Please note: this is general guidance, not legal advice — where a decision turns on the law, confirm it with a qualified attorney.

Who This Webinar Is For
Topics Covered in This Session
ⓘ Tip: The single most important question on your credit application is: are the premises owned or leased? If leased, you must confirm the landlord, check the lease, include a ROT clause, and ideally get a landlord waiver — before you approve a cent of credit.
