SUMMARY:BIFA Member Webinar - Implementation of the 2025 BIFA Standard Trading Conditions (STC)
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join a BIFA webinar to be held on the 21st of May 2026 at 12.00 hours via Teams to discuss the implementation of the 2025 edition of the STC. \nSince their implementation on 1st January this year\, the Association has monitored questions from Members relating to the new 2025 STC.  There have been relatively few regarding the technical aspects of the re-write.  However\, we have received a significant number of questions regarding what incorporation means and how to achieve it.  For instance most Members have email signatures which refer to the fact that they trade under the BIFA STC\, legal opinion is that more clarity is required to ensure that the terms are “incorporated” into the contractual arrangements between the BIFA Member and their customer. It is these practical points that we wish to explore in more detail. \nThe webinar will examine in some detail: \n•  The reasons why BIFA Members should use the STC\n•  How to incorporate the terms into their trading relationship with their clients\n•  Review and explain the main changes between the 2021 and 2025 edition of the STC \nThe event will last approximately an hour and\, if there is time\, questions will be answered.  Any attendee would benefit with familiarising themselves with the text of the STC and supporting guidance which can be viewed at https://dev.bifa.org/information-guidance/trading-conditions/bifa-standard-trading-conditions-2025/ \nREGISTER TODAY\n
