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
The Terms and Conditions are a set of legally binding terms defined by you as the owner of this website. The Terms and Conditions set forth the legal boundaries that govern the activities of your website visitors or customers while visiting or interacting with this website. The Terms and Conditions are intended to establish the legal relationship between site 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, the terms and conditions of an e-commerce site that offers products to customers will be different from the terms and conditions of a website that only provides information (blog, landing page, etc.).
The Terms and Conditions provide you as the website owner with the ability to protect yourself from potential legal risks, however this can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction so if you are seeking to protect yourself from legal risks you should ensure that you seek legal advice in accordance with local regulations.
What to Include in the Terms and Conditions Document
The Terms and Conditions typically address topics such as: who can use the website; possible payment methods; a statement that the website owner may change their offerings in the future; the types of guarantees the website owner gives to their customers; references to intellectual property or copyright issues where relevant; the website owner's right to suspend or cancel a member's account; and much more.
