Terms and Conditions

Disclaimer

The explanations provided on this page are general information and not detailed on how to write your terms and conditions. This article is not to be considered legal advice or a recommendation on the necessary actions, since we cannot know in advance what specific terms you want to establish between your business and your customers and visitors. We recommend that you seek legal advice for clarification and assistance in creating your terms and conditions.

Terms and Conditions: Key Aspects

That said, the Terms and Conditions (“T&C”) indicate a set of legally binding terms defined by the user, as the owner of the website. The T&C establish the legal limits that govern the activities of visitors, or your customers, while they visit or interact with this website. The purpose of the T&C is to establish the legal relationship between visitors and the user, as owner of the website.

The T&C should be defined based on the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, a website that offers products to customers with eCommerce transactions requires different T&C than a website that only provides information (such as a blog, landing page, and so on).

The T&C offer you, as the owner of the website, the opportunity to protect yourself from potential legal risk, but they may vary from one jurisdiction to another, so make sure you receive local legal advice if you want protection in this regard.

What to include in the T&C

In general, T&Cs often deal with these types of issues: who is authorized to use the website; possible payment methods; a statement stating that the owner of the website may change his offer in the future, the types of guarantees that the owner of the website provides to his customers, a possible reference to intellectual property or copyright issues, the right of the owner of the website to suspend or cancel a member's account, and much more.
