Website Terms and Conditions
All websites should apply terms and conditions. Only purely informational sites with no customer interaction, commercial activity or personal data collection are not strictly required by law. However, it is recommended that even the most basic website should apply relevant Ts & Cs to reduce risk and set clear expectations of users. It is crucial that the terms and conditions match the operations and activity of the website.
The selections of different types of website terms and conditions range from basic "brochure" (informational only) sites to e-commerce, "freemium" and advertising, online professional services and blog/forum/ review sites. Within each of these types are more specific and tailored terms and conditions. For example, the E-commerce Sale of Goods Terms and Conditions provides terms of use and terms of sale for both B2C and B2B applications for "standard" and bespoke goods, and subscription model: The Online Professional Services Website Terms of Sale (B2C) offers a wide range of website terms of sale for activities ranging from different types of tuition, fitness/pilates/yoga/dance to physiotherapy and counselling. Also available are E-Commerce (Distance Selling) Consumer Protection Guidance Notes which help explain the legal obligations and best practice in respect of consumer protection for online sales.
Each template is tailored to cover legal, operational and protective matters providing for, as appropriate, the activities and business model of the different types of websites. The combination of features of the terms and conditions may cover:
- Selling of goods and services (compliance with consumer and e-commerce regulations);
- Collection and storage of personal data (compliance with GDPR and data protection regulations);
- Provision of user interaction and generation of content (setting rules for content provision, IP rights, limitations on liability);
- Offering downloadable or digital content (clarification of usage rights, IP restrictions and disclaimers); and
- Creation of user accounts.
All these website terms and conditions have been updated and reviewed to comply with current regulations.
