Terms and Conditions

Disclaimer

This page provides general instructions and information on how to write your own Terms and Conditions document. Because we cannot know in advance what specific terms and conditions you want to create between your business and your customers and visitors, you should not consider this article as legal advice or suggestions on what you should actually do. If you need help and information on creating your own terms and conditions, we recommend that you seek legal advice.

Basic Information About Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions are a set of legally binding rules defined by you as the owner of this website. The Terms and Conditions set out the legal boundaries that govern the activities of website visitors or your customers when they visit or interact with this website. The aim of the Terms and Conditions is to establish the legal relationship between you as the website owner and the site visitors.

Terms and Conditions should be defined according to the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, the terms and conditions of an e-commerce site that offers products to customers will differ from those of a website that only provides information (such as a blog or landing page).

The Terms and Conditions give you, as the website owner, the opportunity to protect yourself from potential legal risks. However, this may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so if you're trying to protect yourself from legal risks, you should ensure that you receive legal advice that complies with local regulations.

What to Include in the Terms and Conditions Document

Terms and Conditions typically address topics such as: who is allowed to use the website; possible payment methods; a statement that the website owner may change the offerings in the future; the types of guarantees the website owner provides to customers; references to intellectual property or copyright issues where applicable; the right of the website owner to suspend or cancel a member’s account; and much more.
