Basic and Standard Website Terms and Conditions
These solicitor drafted, up-to-date website terms and conditions are designed for simple, informational websites which have no transactional interaction. Websites that are purely informational are not legally required to provide terms and conditions. However, to help reduce risk, enforce rights and provide clarity of user expectations it is best practice to provide terms and conditions.
What are the Key Distinctions Between these Terms and Conditions?
The Basic Website Terms and Conditions is very lightweight and minimal and suitable only for simple brochure websites with static content. The template includes basic acceptable use policy and IP protection, liability disclaimer, linking policy, privacy policy reference and optional cookie policy reference, and personal data use clause. It is best suited to static "brochure" websites with no contact forms, accounts or interactive features with no sales, user submissions or personal data collection (other than basic analytics).
The Small Business Brochure Website Terms and Conditions includes the above provisions but has has stronger provisions for acceptable use, general liability and IP protection. The template includes anti-scraping and AI training restrictions. It is suitable for small businesses without interactive features such as consultants, local trades, designers and freelancers, and law/accounting and architecture businesses with informational only sites.
The Small Business Brochure (+ Contact Tools) Website Terms and Conditions provides the same as the above template but includes provision in respect of user interaction such as rules for using “Contact Tools”, reference Acceptable Use Policy, content moderation and monitoring, and use of submitted data. The template is suitable for service based businesses as defined above which seek to generate leads via the website. It is not suitable for any form of e-commerce or platforms/websites with user accounts.
