Terms & Conditions
A legal disclaimer
The explanations and information provided on this page are general and high-level guidance on how to create your own Terms & Conditions document. You should not rely on this page as legal advice or as recommendations regarding what you should specifically do, because we cannot know in advance the exact terms you wish to establish between your business and your customers or website visitors. We strongly recommend consulting a qualified legal professional to help you understand and draft your own Terms & Conditions tailored to your needs.
Terms & Conditions - the basics
Terms and Conditions (“T&C”) are a set of legally binding rules defined by you as the owner of this website. They outline the legal boundaries governing the activities of website visitors or customers while they visit or interact with your site. The T&C aim to establish a clear legal relationship between you, as the website owner, and your users.
T&C should be tailored to the specific nature and purpose of each website. For example:
-
An e-commerce website selling products requires T&C that are different from a website providing information only (like a blog, landing page, or portfolio).
Properly drafted T&C provide protection for you as the website owner against potential legal exposure. Keep in mind that legal requirements may vary depending on your jurisdiction, so always seek local legal advice.
What to include in the T&C document
Generally, T&C documents often cover the following:
-
Who is allowed to use the website.
-
Available payment methods (if relevant).
-
A statement that the website owner may modify offerings at any time.
-
Warranties or disclaimers provided to users.
-
Intellectual property and copyright notices, if applicable.
-
Rights of the website owner to suspend or terminate accounts.
-
Limitation of liability and legal remedies.
-
And other provisions depending on the website’s services or products.
