Terms & Conditions

A legal disclaimer

The information and explanations provided on this page are general and high-level guidelines for drafting your own Terms & Conditions document. This content should not be considered legal advice or recommendations, as we cannot predict the specific terms you may need for your business relationships with customers and visitors. We advise seeking legal counsel to gain a clearer understanding and receive assistance in creating your Terms & Conditions.

Terms & Conditions - The Basics

Terms and Conditions ("T&C") are a set of legally binding terms established by you, the website owner. They outline the legal parameters that govern the actions of your website visitors or customers when they interact with your site. T&C serve to define the legal relationship between you and your site visitors.

​

T&C should be tailored to the unique requirements and nature of each website. For instance, an e-commerce site selling products requires different T&C compared to a site offering informational content, such as a blog or a landing page.

​

Implementing T&C allows you, as the website owner, to safeguard against potential legal risks. However, since legal obligations vary by jurisdiction, it is advisable to seek local legal counsel to ensure proper protection from legal liability.

What to Include in the T&C Document

Typically, T&C cover matters such as who is permitted to use the website, available payment methods, a statement that the website owner may modify the offerings in the future, warranties provided to customers, references to intellectual property or copyright issues where applicable, the website owner’s authority to suspend or terminate a member’s account, and more.
