Updated Templates from Our Ongoing Website Terms Review

January 2017

In a time where terms like alternative facts, post-truth and many other annoying adjectives besides are widespread, the role of the internet in the dissemination of information, both factual and opinionated, cannot be denied. Many websites exist now to publish news and opinions about a wide range of topics, products, and services. As ever, when setting up such a website, it is important to ensure that all the bases are covered with a solid set of terms and conditions, particularly when publishing information that may be more or less coloured by subjective opinions.

Updated News and Magazine Website Terms and Conditions

As part of our ongoing review and upgrade of our website terms and conditions templates, our News Website Terms and Conditions have now been updated. The adjustments to these templates are designed to create a more uniform approach to the structure of all documents in the portfolio, making it easier for you to compare, and work with, the range of templates available. Both the standard and user comments variants of the templates have been updated.

Updated Reviews Website Terms and Conditions

Everybody’s got an opinion, and when it comes to buying goods and services online, those opinions can be helpful when shared with other customers. Independent reviews websites, particularly those which invite submissions from users, are thus a valuable tool in today’s e-commerce world.

Our own set of Reviews Website Terms and Conditions has now been re-written, following the new, more standardised structure being rolled out across all templates in this area. As with the updates to the news templates described above, this approach has been taken to make it easier for our customers to work with the different website terms and conditions templates on offer.

As part of the re-write, some provisions have been simplified, so while the effect is the same, the terms will be easier for users to understand and, it is to be hoped, followed. On the flip-side, certain provisions have increased in detail, making them clearer and more comprehensive.

Whether your website is on the left or the right; the right, the wrong, or the alternative; the serious or the satirical; the objective or the opinionated, it is vital to ensure that you and your users know where you stand with regard to your respective rights and obligations. So don’t delay; update your terms and conditions today!
