SHOP TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Welcome to the BarrettStacey Accounting Shop. By purchasing our services, you agree to the following terms and conditions:
1. REGISTRATION FEE
- A one-time registration fee of £35+VAT applies to all new customers upon their first purchase if you are purchasing a service. If you are simply downloading a template or signing up for our VA Program a registration fee does not apply.
- Existing customers are exempt from this registration fee and may proceed with service selection without any additional onboarding charges.
- This registration fee covers account setup and administrative onboarding and AML Compliance Checks to ensure a smooth start.
2. SERVICE SELECTION
- Each service listed in our shop is provided on a monthly basis unless otherwise specified as a one-off service.
- For services that require extended durations (e.g., VAT returns, annual accounts), clients are responsible for selecting the correct duration to cover their requirements. Please review each service description carefully to ensure you select the appropriate number of months.
3. ONBOARDING AND ONGOING CONTRACT
- New customers will be onboarded as clients following their first purchase and payment of the registration fee.
- Once onboarded, all ongoing services will be provided on a recurring monthly basis unless specified as a one-off service at the time of purchase.

4. CANCELLATION POLICY
- Clients wishing to cancel an ongoing monthly service must provide 45 days’ notice in writing.

- If no cancellation notice is given, services will continue as scheduled, and monthly payments will remain due.

Some services require extended timeframes to comply with regulatory standards:
- VAT Returns: VAT returns are typically filed quarterly. Clients requiring VAT support for a full quarter should purchase three months of services.

6. SERVICE START DATE
