3. NEW in Version 2 - Additional documents now required by law

To comply with the law businesses need to make changes to their contracts and include a 'Notice of the Right to Cancel' and a 'Start Work Now Form' which must be prominently displayed in the contract document or accompanying terms and conditions.

New ContractsXpert v.2 contains these new forms as well as a 'Cancellation Form', and necessary updates to existing domestic contracts to allow for these regulations within the terms and conditions.

Start Work Now FormCancellation Form

Any company that fails to comply will not be able to enforce their contracts. Worse still, could be investigated by Trading standards resulting in possible prosecutions and fines.

4. Track changes to the project to avoid mis-understandings

  • Easily manage your project and track any agreed changes to the work (variations) in your contracts as the project progresses. Simply print two versions to ensure you both have copies of the agreement of variations and the associated costs.

  • Once this document is signed by both parties there can be no confusion when the customer receives the invoice.

6. Technology by HBXL | Contracts by FMB

  • Contracts authored by FMB and transformed into a user-friendly software package by HBXL! Here at HBXL we're really impressed with the quality of FMB's contracts. Written in plain English and accredited with the Crystal Mark, they are thorough without being scary or over-complicated!
