NEW

• “Right of regret” section, required by law if consumers in Brazil are targeted: unless exceptions apply, users who are consumers in Brazil have a legal right of regret under Brazilian law and may be eligible to withdraw from contracts made online within 7 days, for any reason and without justification (users that do not qualify as Consumers, cannot benefit from the right of regret);
• Mandatory guarantee of conformity clauses for goods, digital goods, and services for consumers in Brazil (the guarantee of conformity is mandatory whenever goods, digital goods, or services are sold to consumers in Brazil);
• Exception for consumers in Brazil in the governing law section, required if consumers in Brazil are targeted (under Brazilian consumer law, a choice of law cannot deprive consumers of their statutory rights);
• Exception for consumers in Brazil in the venue of jurisdiction section, required if consumers in Brazil are targeted (in some countries, e.g., Brazil, the place of jurisdiction may not be validly established by contract if the contracting party is a consumer). We have added also another exception applicable to all consumers in general;
• “Right to cancel” section, required by law if consumers in the United Kingdom are targeted: unless exceptions apply, users who are consumers in the United Kingdom have a legal right of cancellation under UK law and may be eligible to withdraw from contracts made online within 14 days, for any reason and without justification (users that do not qualify as consumers, cannot benefit from the right to cancel);
• Mandatory guarantee of conformity clauses for goods and digital goods for consumers in the United Kingdom (the guarantee of conformity is mandatory whenever goods or digital goods are sold to consumers in the United Kingdom);
• After-sales assistance clauses, necessary under EU/UK law if after-sales assistance is provided to consumers;
• Additional statement to the service interruption clause in order to specify how many days’ advance notice are given to users in case of service interruption (laws of certain countries might require advance notice to users);
• Software technical validity period clauses: under Brazilian law, software licenses must always indicate the technical requirements applicable to the software (however, these are useful clauses that can also be used for other countries);
• General statement on the limitation of liability for generic users, if users in the UK, EU, USA, or AUS are not targeted;
• Additional statement to the changes to the document part, in order to specify how many days’ advance notice are given to users in case of upcoming changes to the term (according to EU consumer law, users must be informed in good time before any change to the contractual relationship with the owner becomes effective).

UPDATE

• The governing law exception for European Consumers is now renamed to “Prevalence of national law” since it is applicable also to other countries (eg., the UK), and not only to EU countries;
• The venue of jurisdiction clause for EU, Switzerland, Norway or Iceland (required if consumers in these territories are targeted) now includes also the reference to the UK;
• The brokering clause now includes the reference to the fact that the selection criteria are described in detail in a relevant section of the website or application since it is important to disclose the objective criterion to address transparency issues to the consumer and to avoid allegations of unfair competition; 
• In the nature of the offer clauses (“The offer is binding and the contract is concluded upon submission of the order/ The offer is non-binding and concludes upon you/the owner accepting the offer”), “active input” is substituted with “an action”, since it’s not necessarily always an input that’s needed, but rather an action, more generally speaking;
• In the clauses about who processes the payments (“Only third-party services are used for payment processing/Third-party services are used for payment processing, but you also directly process payments”), the statement “Any possible costs or fees resulting from the failed or refused payment shall be borne by the User” is substituted with “If a payment fails or is refused, the Owner reserves the right to claim any related expenses or damages from the User” since the user cannot automatically be charged, and it should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis if there is a liability on its part;
• In the “Who the right of withdrawal applies to” part, it is now specified that those clauses are applicable without prejudice to any more specific rights available to users based on applicable law and/or the document;
• In the contractual legal guarantee period extension clause, it is now specified that it is a period extension to the EU legal guarantee.

Other: 

• We made some additional maintenance wording changes to the following clauses: “Liability for provided content“, “Marketplace general statement”, “Service interruption” and “Changes to the document”.

There is a further optional sub-clause that can be selected to offer a refund if the service is discontinued within a period of time (e.g., 6 months).

Users with existing Terms documents interested in the lifetime subscription clause can get in touch and request its rollout to their account or generate a new Terms and Conditions document.

March 18, 2022

UPDATE We’ve updated our T&C Generator following a requirement introduced by the act for fair consumer contracts in Germany. The changes include a cancellation button/flow requirement and stipulates rules surrounding cancellation after renewal.

To help our users to introduce wording that covers the above, we created a structure that allows users to be as flexible as possible: 

• they may add exceptions for consumers in Germany to the auto-renewal flow
• they may extend that exception to all consumers (to reduce complexity)
• and they may simply use it as a default (if they target consumers in Germany only or if they consider it a good setup in general)

The wording largely leaves the setup of the earlier terms intact. We’ve slightly reworded where necessary. 

We’ve also introduced more warnings that can be displayed at the top of the document to indicate exceptions or auto-renewal that extends the subscription contract tacitly.
