Small Business Brochure (+ Contact Form) Website Terms and Conditions
TR.WEB.TC.03
These Small Business Brochure and Contact Form Website Terms and Conditions
are designed for use with simple websites, providing straightforward,
brochure-type content with the additional feature of a contact form
enabling users to easily communicate with the website operator. These terms
and conditions are best suited to websites operated by individuals or small
businesses wishing to provide details of products and/or services online
but without offering any e-commerce facilities.
As with many website terms and conditions, these are designed for
acceptance through use. In other words, visitors to your website are deemed
to have accepted them as soon as they start using the site.
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. If, for example, the operator is an investment company, it must
identify itself as such. 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.
IP rights including, but not limited to, copyright are protected by these
terms and conditions. Optional provisions are included in the template to
allow you to choose how many freedoms to give to your users with regard to
saving and copying material from your site, as well as establishing
deep-links to pages within your site on other sites. Further provisions
concerning linking are also designed to help to prohibit users from
establishing links to your site from sites publishing unsavoury or unlawful
content.
Disclaimers and liability provisions in this document seek to protect
website operators to the maximum extent deemed reasonable. In particular,
users are advised of the possibility that there may be slight discrepancies
between products or services shown on the website and the actual products
or services available. It is important, however, to ensure that such
provisions are not unduly biased against users – particularly when dealing
with consumers – lest they be considered unfair in the eyes of the law.
Additional liability provisions, therefore, are provided that apply only to
business users.
Over and above TR.WEB.TC.02 Small Business Brochure Website Terms and Conditions,
this template includes terms covering the use of some form of
communications facility, usually a contact form, built into the website.
Users are required to refrain from using the system in offensive or
unlawful ways and are reminded that any personal data they submit will be
handled in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
Further key clauses address internet security, data protection, privacy and
cookies (integrating separate policies into the terms and conditions by
reference), acceptable use of the website (more detailed usage provisions
are included in terms and conditions for websites offering more
interactivity), and opting in and out of marketing communications. All
parts of this template are designed to be compatible with consumer
protection legislation including, but not limited to, the Consumer Rights
Act 2015.
This template is duplicated in the Internet & E-Commerce group.
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.
