1. What are Website Terms and Conditions?
Terms and conditions are a binding set of rules that serve as a contract between you and the users who visit your website or use your app.
They are also known as terms of service and terms of use, and are abbreviated as T&Cs (or ToS and ToU, respectively).
Legal terms are required under some country’s consumer protection regulations. Even if you are not legally required to have terms and conditions, they are critical to maintaining your rights and protecting your business.
It’s in your best interest to create a terms and conditions agreement for your services, and display it on your site.
Another way to boost trust with your users is to have a well-written return policy. You can use our return policy template for reference on how to make a clear and concise policy that your customers can easily understand.
What is a Terms and Conditions Agreement?
A terms and conditions agreement outlines the website administrator’s rules regarding user behavior, and provides information about the actions the website administrator can and will perform.
Your terms and conditions text is a contract between your website and its users. In the event of a legal dispute, arbitrators will look to this agreement to determine whether each party acted within their rights.
