Terms of service

By SwiftWillUpdated England and Wales

Quick answer

You pay once. Updates are free for life. There is no subscription, storage fee or auto-renewal in these terms. The 30-day money-back guarantee applies even after download. Skip SwiftWill if you need a solicitor–client relationship — these terms say we are not a law firm.

1. The service

SwiftWill provides legal information and document-preparation software for England and Wales: a guided online interview, rules-based validation of your answers, and a personalised will PDF available to download after payment verification with a signing instruction card. Email is processed automatically; an accepted send does not guarantee inbox delivery. If email fails, keep your downloads and contact support without paying again. SwiftWill is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Nothing in the service creates a solicitor–client relationship.

2. Jurisdiction

The service produces documents valid only in England and Wales. Customers with addresses in Scotland or Northern Ireland are excluded before payment; if you purchase despite a non-England-and-Wales address, the document may not be valid and you should contact us for a refund.

3. Prices and payment

Prices are one-time payments in GBP: £35 for a single will, £55 for mirror wills, with no solicitor-review add-on in the automated service. Payment is processed by Stripe; we never see or store card details. There is no subscription, no auto-renewal, no storage fee and no update fee — anywhere in these terms, now or in future versions.

4. Free lifetime updates

Your one-time payment includes free updates for life: save your private recovery file, import it at /start/, change your wishes, and regenerate documents for the same people at no charge. The paid order must match the original names, dates of birth, product and email addresses. Contact support for identity corrections or recovery of an earlier order. These procedures do not remove previously purchased update rights. Each regenerated will must be printed and signed with two witnesses to be valid, and you should destroy superseded signed originals.

5. The 30-day money-back guarantee

If you are not satisfied for any reason, email us within 30 days of purchase for a full refund — no questions, no forms. Full terms at /refunds/, which form part of these terms.

6. Automated preparation

No solicitor individually reviews your will through this service. If you require legal advice or review, arrange it with a suitable professional.

7. Your responsibilities

  • Answer the interview honestly and completely; the document can only be as accurate as your answers.
  • Sign the printed will correctly — wet ink, two independent witnesses — following the included card; an unsigned or wrongly signed will is not valid.
  • Tell us if your situation triggers any suitability-check redirect; those situations need a solicitor.
  • Keep your email and recovery file accessible. A recovery file is not encrypted and should be stored privately.

8. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law (including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud). Your statutory consumer rights are unaffected. Follow the signing instructions and obtain advice if you are unsure about your circumstances.

9. Intellectual property

Your will document is yours to print, sign and use. The software, templates and site content remain our property and may not be copied or resold as a competing service.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. Service and delivery details updated 12 September 2026.

Frequently asked questions

Is there any subscription hidden in these terms?

No — and there never will be. These terms contain no auto-renewal, no storage fee and no update fee of any kind. Your one-time payment includes free lifetime updates, and that is a contractual commitment, not a marketing line.

What exactly am I buying?

Document-preparation software plus legal information for England and Wales: a guided interview, validation of your answers, and a personalised will PDF with a signing instruction card, available to download after payment verification, with email delivery handled automatically. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice.

What does 'free updates for life' mean contractually?

For as long as the service operates, you may re-open your interview, change your answers and regenerate your will PDF at no additional charge, as often as you like. If the service were ever to close, we would give at least 12 months' notice and a full export of your data and documents.

What law governs these terms?

The laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction — matching the jurisdiction of the documents the service produces.
