The Competition and Markets Authority has published a series of very plain guides for business on how to write contracts that will survive the legislation against unfair terms. Their 7 “top tips” include:
- Be open and fair – don’t hide important wording or use small print.
- Use ordinary words and avoid legal jargon or technical language.
- Consider whether your written contract is reader-friendly (for example, are terms legible? Are short sentences and subheadings used?)
