How to add terms and conditions to your quote or invoice template

Certain quote and invoice templates in ServiceM8 have built-in settings that allow you to add a brief Terms and Conditions statement in the footer. (For example, you could add a statement saying "Invoices must be paid within 7 days of services rendered.") To learn more about selecting a new template and updating built-in template settings, see this article.

However, if your needs are more complex, you may want to add an additional page to your template detailing your terms and conditions.

To add a separate page for your terms and conditions:

  1. Download the invoice or quote that you want to modify. (To learn more about downloading a template, see this article.)
  1. Open the template in Microsoft Word.

You have now created a new page, but it has carried over the existing header and footer.

To delete the content in the header and footer:

  1. Double-click in the header to open the Header and Footer Tools.
  2. Click Link to Previous. This will turn off the link between the sections, which allows you to delete the header and footer content from the new page without impacting the rest of the document.

Once you've added your terms and conditions, save your document and upload it to ServiceM8. (For more information about uploading templates, see this article.)
