TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Legal Notice
The explanations and information provided on this page are solely general and broad explanations about 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 anticipate 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 create your own Terms and Conditions.
Terms and Conditions: Basics
That being said, the Terms and Conditions ("T&C") are a set of legally binding terms defined by you, as the owner of this website. The T&C establish the legal boundaries that govern the activities of the website visitors or your customers while they visit or engage with this website. The T&C are intended to establish the legal relationship between the website visitors and you as the owner of the said website.
​
The T&C must be defined according to the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, a website that offers products to customers in e-commerce operations requires different T&C than those of a website that merely provides information (such as a blog, homepage, etc.).
​
The T&C grant you, as the owner of the website, the ability to protect yourself from legal liability, but this may vary from one jurisdiction to another, so make sure to seek local legal advice if you are seeking to protect yourself from legal liability.
What should be included in the Terms and Conditions document
In general, the T&C usually address the following types of issues: who is authorized to use the website, possible methods of payment, a statement that the website owner may change their offerings in the future, the types of warranties the website owner provides 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.
