Proposal Terms & Conditions

Setting up your Terms & Conditions is super simple. One of the great features of Tinsel CRM is having the ability to set up multiple versions of your Terms & Conditions. This is helpful for those who may have different Terms & Conditions for different services offered (Christmas Lighting, Patio Lighting, Event Lighting) or for businesses that have different Terms & Conditions for commercial clients versus residential clients.

   .

   • Note: Once you click the Save button, it will check if the template you’re editing is in use:
     • If the template is in use, a modal popup will appear to inform you that clicking Continue will create a new version for the selected template.
       
     • If the template is not in use, the template will be updated directly.
6. That’s it! You’ve successfully edited your Terms & Conditions or created a new version with your changes.

Default Templates and Versions:

In Settings > Proposals > Terms and Conditions, you can set a default template and version. Once a default template and version are set, they will automatically be selected as the Terms and Conditions for any new proposal you create. However, you can still switch between templates and versions when creating the proposal in the proposal builder.
This feature makes creating proposals easier by automatically adding the default Terms and Conditions and version. You can still switch between them as needed.
