Legal notice
The explanations and information provided on this page are only general explanations and information and there are many questions about how to write your own Terms and Conditions document. You should not consider this article as legal advice or recommendations on what you really need to do, because we cannot know in advance what are the specific terms that you need to establish between your business and your customers and visitors. We recommend that you seek legal advice to understand and process your own Terms and Conditions.
Terms and Conditions: Fundamentals
I say this, the Terms and Conditions («T&C») are a collection of legally binding terms defined for you, as the owner of this website. The T&Cs establish the legal limits that govern the activities of visitors to the website, or your customers, while visiting or participating in this website. The T&Cs are intended to establish the legal relationship between visitors to the site and you as the owner of this site.
The T&Cs must be defined according to the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, a website that offers products to customers in electronic commerce operations, requires different T&Cs to the T&Cs of a website that only provides information (such as a blog, home page, etc.).
The T&Cs assure you, as the owner of the website, of the ability to protect yourself from legal liability, but this may differ from one jurisdiction to another, so that you ensure that you receive local legal advice if you are dealing with protecting yourself from legal liability.
This must be included in the Terms and Conditions document
In general, the T&Cs usually address these types of questions: who is authorized to use the website, the possible payment methods, a declaration that the owner of the website may change the offer in the future, the types of guarantees that the owner of the website offers to its customers, a reference to intellectual property rights or author rights (if relevant), the website owner's right to suspend or delete a member's account and much more.
