Terms & Conditions
A legal disclaimer
The explanations and information provided on this page
are only general and high-level explanations and information
on how to write your own document of Terms & Conditions.
You should not rely on this article as legal advice or
as recommendations regarding what you should actually do,
because we cannot know in advance what are the specific
terms you wish to establish between your business and your customers and visitors. We recommend that you seek legal
advice to help you understand and to assist you in the
creation of your own Terms & Conditions.
Terms & Conditions - the basics
Having said that, Terms and Conditions (“T&C”) are a set of legally binding terms defined by you, as the owner of this website. The T&C set forth the legal boundaries governing
the activities of the website visitors, or your customers, while they visit or engage with this website. The T&C are
meant to establish the legal relationship between the site visitors and you as the website owner.
T&C should be defined according to the specific needs
and nature of each website. For example, a website offering products to customers in e-commerce transactions requires
T&C that are different from the T&C of a website only
providing information (like a blog, a landing page,
and so on).
T&C provide you as the website owner the ability to protect yourself from potential legal exposure, but this may differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so make sure to receive local legal advice if you are trying to protect yourself
from legal exposure.
What to include in
the T&C document
Generally speaking, T&C often address these types of issues: Who is allowed to use the website; the possible payment methods; a declaration that the website owner may change
his or her offering in the future; the types of warranties
the website owner gives his or her customers; a reference to issues of intellectual property or copyrights, where relevant; the website owner’s right to suspend or cancel a member’s account; and much, much more.
