Retail and supply contracts · Colchester, Essex
E-commerce and retail contracts that match how you sell
A returns policy that contradicts your website terms is a customer complaint waiting to happen. Evergreen Covenants Ltd. helps online retailers, independent brands and wholesalers bring trading terms, supplier commitments and fulfilment arrangements into line.
Make the documents fit the operation. Set out who takes responsibility when an order changes, stock is delayed or a campaign goes live.

Customer-facing documents
Website terms, e-commerce terms and consumer rights
Your online retailer terms and conditions should describe the sale customers actually experience. That means matching order acceptance, payment, delivery and returns wording to the checkout and the published policy.
Details matter. A clear set of terms deals with pricing mistakes, stock availability, cancellation rights, delivery responsibility and fair limits on liability.
Consumer sales and business-to-business orders can need different wording, even when they use the same website. Keep the distinction clear.
Orders, prices and availability
Set out when an order is accepted, what happens if a price or listing is wrong, and how unavailable items are handled.
Delivery, returns and cancellation
Make delivery commitments and responsibility for goods consistent with the returns policy, checkout messages and applicable consumer rules.
Consumer and trade purchases
Identify which provisions apply to individual consumers and which apply when a customer buys for business purposes.
Fair limits and clear remedies
Use clear, proportionate terms for defects, refunds and liability. A clause should explain the position without promising more than the business can deliver.
Customer and supplier data
Privacy notices and data-processing agreements
Customers need a clear account of how their information is used. Platforms and service providers need written terms that reflect the data they handle on your behalf.
Supplier and platform terms
Where a provider processes personal data for your business, agree the roles, security measures, support and deletion or return of data. Check that these provisions sit comfortably alongside your wider retail supplier agreements.
One joined-up set. Fewer gaps between documents.
Buying and supplying stock
Supplier agreements and wholesale supply contracts
Put the commercial details in writing before a stock issue turns into a dispute. The right terms depend on the product, the buying pattern and who holds the risk at each point.
Lead times and quantities
Make ordering expectations workable for both sides.
- Minimum order quantities
- Forecasts and order cut-offs
- Agreed delivery windows
Pricing and payment
Set a clear process for changes and settlement.
- Price review mechanisms
- Invoicing and credit periods
- Notice for cost changes
Quality and defects
Agree what happens when goods fall short.
- Specifications and inspection
- Defect reporting periods
- Repair, replacement or credit
Territory and exit
Give exclusivity and termination a practical boundary.
- Territory and channel limits
- Competing product restrictions
- Run-off stock and outstanding sums
Stock movement and delivery
Fulfilment, logistics and distribution agreements
Write down what a fulfilment partner must do, what happens when it falls short and where responsibility for stock sits. Distribution agreements UK businesses use also need clear territory and channel rules.
Receive and store
Set receiving checks, storage conditions, stock records, stocktake rights and responsibility for loss or damage.
Pick and dispatch
Agree order cut-off times, pick accuracy, packing standards and the service levels used to track performance.
Deliver and distribute
Allocate responsibility for delays, lost parcels and insurance. Define distribution territory and permitted sales channels.
Liability caps should make sense beside the value of stock in storage or transit. Set out the process for service failures and the steps available if the arrangement ends.
Campaigns and collaborations
Influencer marketing and brand collaboration terms
A campaign agreement should be specific about the work, the content and the brand's right to use it. Clear terms help both sides know what publication and payment depend on.
- List each deliverable, platform and publication date.
- Set review and approval steps for campaign content.
- Agree usage rights, duration and paid amplification.
- Set disclosure expectations and brand conduct terms.
- Link payment milestones to verified publication.
