Terms and Conditions
Legal notice
The explanations and information provided on this page are only general guidelines on how to draft your own Terms and Conditions document. You should not consider this article as legal advice or recommendations on what you should actually do, because we cannot know in advance the specific terms you wish to establish between your business and your customers and visitors. We recommend that you seek legal advice to understand and draft your own Terms and Conditions.
Terms and Conditions: fundamentals
That said, the Terms and Conditions (“T&Cs”) are a set of legally binding terms defined by you, as the owner of this website. The T&Cs establish the legal boundaries governing the activities of website visitors, or your customers, while visiting or participating on this website. The purpose of the T&Cs is to establish the legal relationship between website visitors and you as the website owner.
Terms and conditions should be defined according to the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, a website that offers products to customers in e-commerce transactions requires different terms and conditions than a website that only provides information (such as a blog, homepage, etc.).
The Terms and Conditions give you, as the website owner, the ability to protect yourself from legal liability, but this can differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so be sure to seek local legal advice if you are trying to protect yourself from legal liability.
What should be included in the Terms and Conditions document
In general, T&Cs usually address these types of issues: who is authorized to use the website, possible payment methods, a statement that the website owner may change their offering in the future, the types of guarantees the website owner offers to their customers, a reference to intellectual property or copyright issues (if relevant), the website owner's right to suspend or cancel a member's account, and much more.
