Terms & Conditions: the basics

Terms and Conditions are a set of legally binding terms defined by the owner of a website. They set forth the legal boundaries governing the activities of website visitors or customers while they visit or engage with the website. They are meant to establish the legal relationship between site visitors and the website owner.

Terms and Conditions should be defined according to the specific needs and nature of each website. A website offering products in ecommerce transactions requires terms that are different from a website that only provides information.

What to include in the Terms & Conditions

Generally speaking, Terms and Conditions often address who is allowed to use the website; possible payment methods; changes to offerings; warranties; intellectual property or copyright; the website owner’s right to suspend or cancel an account; and more.
