Alliance have provided below an example Terms of Use on the Kelo-cote local website. This can be used as a basis for drafting terms of use if the Distributor does not have a current Terms of Use that the site can direct the end consumer to.

These terms and conditions have been reviewed on the basis of English Law for Alliance and Alliance can accept no liability to the distributor that arises as a result of the Distributor not having them checked by local legal advisors.

These terms and conditions are a contract between Distributor and the end consumer and not between the end user and Alliance and therefore the end user will not have a right to a refund directly from Alliance as a result of any transactions on the site unless provided for under local consumer legislation.
