Terms and Conditions

That said, Terms and Conditions (“T&C”) are a set of legally binding terms set by you, as the owner of this website. The T&C establish the legal framework that governs the activities of website visitors, or its customers, during their visit or interaction with this website. The intention of the T&C is to establish the legal relationship between website visitors and you, the website owner.

​The T&C must be established according to the specific needs and nature of each site. For example, a website that offers products to customers through e-commerce transactions needs to have T&Cs that are different from the T&Cs of a website that offers only information (such as a blog, a forwarding home page, and so on).

T&C give you, as the website owner, the ability to protect yourself against potential legal exposure. However, this may differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so seek local legal advice if you wish to protect yourself from legal exposure.

What to include in the T&C document

In general terms, the T&C usually regulate the following issues: who can use the website; possible payment methods; a statement that the website owner may change its offerings in the future; the types of guarantees the website owner gives to his customers; a reference to intellectual property or copyright issues, where relevant; the website owner's right to suspend or terminate a member's account; and much more.
