    You're welcome, Alan.

    Just sorry I didn't have the time to look at it properly in the first place... feeling a little bit more human today at least.

    guys (mods/admin) .... is it possible to make this thread a sticky one? This information could be extremely helpful to lots of other people

    I for one wasn't aware our contracts are exempt! My booking method will change slightly now because of this To make it easier for me, anyway! LOL

    Anyway, the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.... where do we stand with them?

    Two scenarios:

    1. A private client books you, and pays their Non-refunadable Booking Fee and signs their section of the contract, dated 1st January 2011, you recieve it on the 3rd, sign it as the 3rd January and post her copy back. Cheers

    Steve,I may be missing something here, but why not speed the process up thus:

    You sign two copies, send 'em to the customer, who signs both, and sends one back. Simples.

    Yeah, all well and good in an ideal world... and this is what I used to do.

    However...i had a couple of occasions where a B&G changed the details...and as I had already signed the damn thing

    I also know of one guy (local to me) who had signed them and sent them out...only to find they that they decided they didnt want the booking. They had gone cheaper...

    To cut a long story short, the client had kept his paperwork, and then after the date of the event, a letter comes through from a solicitor stating that he was a no show.... They had signed and backdated the contract...complete with his signature...thus forming a completed and binding contract...and he was (in the eyes of the law) a no-show. he folded because of it....

    So, now im the last to sign it...

    Exactly!

    NEVER give the other side a signed contract before you've got theirs! It's a very dangerous thing to do.
