Terms & Condition
A Terms & Conditions (T&C) agreement is a legally binding contract that outlines the rules and restrictions for using a website or service. It acts as a contract between the site owner and its users.While not always legally required, having a T&C page is considered a best practice to:
- Protect the site owner from liabilities, intellectual property theft, and legal disputes
- Set clear expectations for acceptable user behavior and prohibited activities
- Disclaim warranties and limit liabilities
- Specify governing laws and dispute resolution procedures
A well-crafted T&C should include clauses covering:
- Intellectual property rights
- User registration and contributions
- Prohibited activities and restrictions
- Suspension and termination policies
- Disclaimers, warranties, and limitations of liability
- Governing laws and dispute resolution
The T&C should be prominently linked from the website footer, checkout screens, and login pages to ensure users are aware of the terms. Obtaining explicit user consent, such as through a checkbox, helps demonstrate acceptance of the agreement.Copying another company’s T&C is not advised as it is copyrighted content and may not adequately protect your specific business needs. Using a customizable template or professional solution is recommended to ensure the T&C is legally compliant and tailored to your site.
