Draft wholesale terms and conditions for the way your supply business actually trades

Wholesale trading often involves repeat orders, account customers, negotiated pricing, delivery allocation, minimum order rules, credit arrangements and returns processes that ordinary retail terms do not handle well. If the written terms assume a simple one-off sale, they may leave gaps around when an order is accepted, when risk passes, how shortages are managed or what happens if a buyer does not pay on time. Wholesale terms are usually more useful when they reflect the actual trading relationship rather than borrowing wording built for online checkout sales or consumer-facing transactions.

They commonly cover order placement and acceptance, pricing, payment timing, credit terms, delivery arrangements, title and risk, inspection periods, returns, product issues, liability wording, termination rights and how changes or cancellations are handled. Depending on the business, they may also deal with minimum order quantities, stock allocation, resale restrictions, account suspension and practical points around trade accounts. The final drafting depends on your products, customer base and sales process. In wholesale work, the factual working arrangement can matter as much as the contract wording, so those details shape the document.

Yes. If you already have wholesale terms, trade account wording or a template you have been using, we can use that as a reference point and update it around your current trading model. This is often helpful where a business has grown quickly and its paperwork has not kept pace with how orders, deliveries and payment arrangements now work. Reviewing an existing document can also reveal gaps that are easy to miss, such as unclear acceptance mechanics, weak credit wording or return clauses that do not match what your team actually does in practice.

The terms can usually be shaped around the way your business actually sells. For example, that may mean reflecting whether customers apply for trade accounts, order through a portal, buy from quotations, place repeat purchase orders or receive supply confirmations before dispatch. We can also account for common commercial features such as staged deliveries, back orders, credit limits or account suspension rights. The best approach depends on how the parties work together, what has already been agreed and where the main risks sit, so the more clearly your process is understood, the more useful the final terms are likely to be.

After the draft is prepared, you can review it and raise questions or amendment points within the included revision round. That stage is often where practical issues are tested, such as whether the terms match your quotation process, trade account onboarding or delivery workflow. Once the revisions are dealt with, the document can be finalised and used in your sales process. We can also give guidance on where the terms should be introduced, such as in account forms, order confirmations or portal sign-up steps, although system build work is outside this service.
