The information provided here is general guidance for writing Terms & Conditions and is not legal advice. You should not rely on this information as legal advice. We recommend seeking professional legal counsel for creating your own Terms & Conditions that are appropriate for your specific business and jurisdiction.
Terms and Conditions (T&C) are legally binding terms that are set by the website owner. These terms establish the legal relationship between website visitors/customers and the website owner.
The specific terms and conditions should be tailored to the needs and nature of each website. For example, an e-commerce website will have different terms and conditions compared to an informational website (such as a blog or landing page).
Terms and conditions protect the website owner from potential legal exposure, but it's important to seek local legal advice as regulations may vary by jurisdiction.
Common issues addressed in T&C documents include user eligibility, payment methods, declarations about future offering changes, warranties, intellectual property/copyrights, and the website owner's right to suspend or cancel accounts.
