My Terms and Conditions Agreement
These terms and conditions where created to avoid any conflict, unpredicted problems or to avoid any party trying to take advantage of the other from concealed or deceptive terms and conditions. These terms will remain publicly available and so any company which has access to my information will have my domain name either directly or from my email address so nothing is concealed from my side. As under the Agreed Acceptance section any contract I enter into is with the companies terms, but also using these terms as primary in any case of dispute. This is agreed when offering me a contract in the first place with full knowledge of who I am.

Agreement Terms
1. "Me", "Myself", "My", "I" or any other term referring to my person (Jonathan George Bakewell)
2. "Company", "Companies", "Body" any formally trading body with which I enter into an agreement with for example but not limited to; employment contracts, privately commissioned work by tradesmen, mobile phone contracts, credit agreements, bank accounts, store cards or loans.
3. "Initial agreement" The agreement from the company with myself as it stood on the date of entering in to an agreement not permitting not permitted changes under these terms since that date. Changes made after that date to these terms are considered agreed to by the Agreed Acceptance terms below if argued later by these terms.
4. "accepting changes", "in writing" refers to documentable and provable agreement between myself and any company that I have completely agreed to any changes to the initial agreement however excluding any changes that would negate or in any other way render invalid any clauses in these terms. Any list of changes with multiple pages must be signed per page by myself or the company to ensure no ambiguity between copies.
Agreed Acceptance.
1. This agreement supersedes any other agreement entered into by myself with any company disregarding any terms to the contrary in the company's terms and conditions. Should any changes to a company's terms and conditions differ from the terms laid out in my agreement it is agreed that this agreement is adhered to primarily over the company's terms and conditions. It is agreed that this agreement is always the primary set or terms.
2. Should the company disagree with this agreement when entering into an agreement with myself then a 28 day (20 working day not withholding bank or public holidays) grace period is provided to decline the original agreement unless the company has already benefited financially or otherwise in which case these terms are considered agreed to. Should the 28 day period pass then it is considered that ample opportunity to disagree to these terms has passed and the company fully agrees to these terms and accepts that they are primary in cases of discrepancy over their terms.
3. If the company declines any obligation due to these terms then a grace period of up to 28 day (20 working day not withholding bank or public holidays) to change provider of service(s) is accepted without financial loss incurred by myself other than that originally agreed for the period of notice. During the declines of obligation grace period all service(s) agreed to when entering in to the agreement will continue as per the initial agreement.
4. Intentionally misleading wording such as "offering you the opportunity to apply for", or any other phrase deliberately implying that the company is offering service(s), not that I have to apply for them and that they may be knowingly different from the advertised or promoted service(s) by the company will be counted by myself and the following terms as if the company was simply offering the service(s) directly as per the advertisement or promotion and be bound by the same terms laid out here not as if I had sought the company out and applied for said service(s).
5. Offers to apply for credit facilities, by store or bank/building society card will be counted by these terms as a direct offer as per the advertised terms at time of agreement not withholding terms overwritten by these terms and not counted as myself making an application, simply completing missing information for the company on the offer they have sent to myself and thereby agreeing to all terms laid out herein.
6. The company agrees that if any ambiguity occurs then it will undertake any and all costs to myself (legal or otherwise).
Updates to this agreement.
1. Any alterations or additions to this agreement will be clearly marked and dated. This agreement is subject to change without notice. A hard copy of this agreement is available upon request to any company of which I am under a current agreement.
