Terms and Conditions: basics
That being said, the Terms and Conditions (“T&C”) are a legally binding set of terms defined by you, as the owner of this website. The T&Cs establish the legal limits that govern the activities of website visitors, or your clients, while visiting or participating in this website. The purpose of the T&C is to establish the legal relationship between site visitors and you as the owner of said site.
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&Cs than the T&Cs of a website that only provides information (such as a blog, home page, etc.).
The T&Cs give you, as the website owner, the ability to protect yourself from legal liability, but this may differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so make sure you seek local legal advice if you are trying to protect yourself from legal liability.
What should be included in the Terms and Conditions document
In general, T&Cs usually address these types of issues: who is authorized to use the website, possible payment methods, a statement that the website owner may change its offer in the future, the types of guarantees that the website owner website owner offers its customers, a reference to intellectual property or copyright issues (if relevant), the website owner's right to suspend or terminate a member's account and much more._cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_
