Legal Disclaimer
The explanations provided on this page are for general informational purposes only and do not include detailed guidance on how to write your own Terms and Conditions.
This article should not be considered legal advice or a recommendation on specific actions to take, as we cannot know in advance the exact terms you wish to establish between your business and your customers or visitors.
We recommend seeking legal counsel to obtain clarification and assistance in creating your own Terms and Conditions.
Terms and Conditions: Key Points
The Terms and Conditions (“T&C”) constitute a legally binding agreement established by you, the website owner.
These terms set out the legal framework governing how visitors and customers may access and interact with this website.
Their purpose is to define the legal relationship between you (the website owner) and your users.
The Terms and Conditions should be tailored to the specific nature and requirements of each website.
For instance, a website engaged in eCommerce transactions and product sales will need different T&C than a website that merely provides informational content, such as a blog or a landing page.
The Terms and Conditions provide you, as the website owner, with a means to protect yourself against potential legal liability.
However, because requirements may differ across jurisdictions, it is strongly recommended that you obtain local legal advice to ensure adequate compliance and protection.
What to Include in Your Terms and Conditions
In general, Terms and Conditions typically cover topics such as: who is permitted to use the website, accepted payment methods, a notice that the website owner may modify the services or offerings in the future, any warranties provided to customers, references to intellectual property or copyright, the owner’s right to suspend or delete user accounts, and more.
