E-Commerce (Goods - B2C) Website Terms of Use

These E-Commerce Sale of Goods Website Terms of Use are designed for use by online retailers on e-commerce websites providing goods to consumers.

This document is designed for use with a counterpart set of terms of sale. This template governs customers’ use of your website itself. The terms governing the sale of goods form a separate document. Different versions are available for one-off sales and the ongoing supply of goods on a subscription basis.

These website terms of use are intended to be accepted through use. Visitors are deemed to have accepted them as soon as they start using your site. This is made clear at the start of the terms. Wording is included for acceptance of the terms when a user signs up for an account. References are also included to other terms which apply such as your privacy policy, acceptable usage policy (relevant to things like user comments or product reviews) as well as to the terms of sale.

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.

Intellectual property rights are addressed in detail, both those belonging to you and to users. Users grant you a licence to re-use their content as necessary to operate the site (in this context, most likely hosting their comments or reviews on products).

Further key provisions 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.

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.
