These terms and conditions are designed for publication on a website and contain provisions dealing with access to, and use of, the website. As the website owner, you may rely on such terms to regulate:
- the use of your website
- the disclosure by users to third parties of access/security information
- the unauthorised reproduction of material contained on the website (copyright issues)
- pertain undesirable user behaviour such as hacking, introducing viruses and uploading illegal or defamatory content.
Amongst other things, the terms would include a disclaimer so that you can limit your potential liabilities to users of the website and to third parties, and would also set out certain data about your company. This is one of the many requirements for compliance with the European E-commerce Directive.
To ensure that customers are legally bound by the website terms of use, the terms must be properly incorporated into a contract between the website owner and the user.
