Small Business Brochure Website Terms of Use
These Small Business Brochure Website Terms and Conditions are designed for simple brochure-style websites that promote products and/or services online without offering e-commerce facilities. They are best suited to websites run by individuals or small businesses that want to explain what they do and what they offer, but do not sell through the website.
They are intended to be accepted through use, so visitors are deemed to accept them as soon as they start using the site. They also work alongside other documents that may apply, such as a privacy policy and any separate terms governing offline sales or services.
For websites that inform, not sell
This template is intended for websites that showcase a business and provide information about products or services while making clear that no online sale takes place through the site itself.
It is not suitable for e-commerce websites.
What the terms deal with
The terms cover the main legal and practical points for a straightforward business website, including operator information, intellectual property rights, links, disclaimers, liability, website security, acceptable use, and personal information.
The liability provisions distinguish between consumers and business users. The intellectual property clause includes alternative wording to allow either a more restrictive or a more flexible approach to saving and copying site content.
Operator details and regulated professions
The template includes important information about the website operator, including company registration details, trading address, and details of any relevant regulatory bodies or associations.
For certain trades and professions, additional information may need to be provided by law. Members of regulated professions should include professional titles, links to professional rules, and other relevant details. Those details are not included in this template, and anyone working in a regulated profession should seek professional advice.
Scraping and text and data mining
This template includes a clause prohibiting scraping and text and data mining, including practices commonly used in the development and training of AI models. The clause is intended to make those activities a direct breach of the site’s terms of use.
It is also recommended that technical measures are used to help protect website content from scraping and text and data mining.
