Free News or Magazine Website Terms of Use

TR.WEB.TC.28a

These News or Magazine Website Terms of Use are designed for use with websites offering free news or magazine-type content for general (and, optionally, non-commercial) use and are thus suitable for a wide range of different websites.

These website terms of use are intended to be accepted through use. Users accept the terms simply by using your site. This is made clear at the start of the terms. References are also included to other terms which apply to the website itself, such as your privacy policy and acceptable use policy.

Important information about the website operator is provided, including company registration details, trading address, and details of any relevant regulatory bodies or associations. For certain trades and professions there may be additional information that website operators are required by law to provide. Members of regulated professions should include professional titles, links to professional rules and other important details. Such details are not included in this template and professional advice should be sought by those working in regulated professions.

Intellectual Property is particularly important when providing digital content of this kind. Detailed provisions in this template address IP. Various options are included in the template to allow you to choose how many freedoms to give to your users when it comes to saving and copying material from your site. These options are grouped into two versions of the IP clause. The first is more restrictive; the second, more flexible with more options. In either case, use of your content can be restricted to personal use or can be opened up to commercial use as well. Visitors are invited to contact you if they wish to use any content featured on your website in a way that is not covered by the terms of use.

Further key sections address links to and from the site, disclaimers, liability (with different provisions for consumers and business users), viruses and security, and acceptable use of the site. Linking provisions can optionally refer to the content standards set out in your acceptable usage policy, restricting visitors from establishing links to your site from other sites publishing offensive or unlawful content.

The disclaimers in this template include an important addition over and above our standard terms and conditions for free digital content sites – a disclaimer informing visitors that opinions, views, and values expressed in content on your site are those of the authors, not necessarily yours.

Optional phrases / clauses are enclosed in square brackets. These should be read carefully and selected so as to be compatible with one another. Unused options should be removed from the document. Please note that while clause numbering is automatic, cross references to other clauses within the text do not update automatically and must be changed manually if the addition or removal of other clauses changes numbering.
