Use these terms for a brochure website with contact tools but no online sales
These terms are intended for websites that showcase a business and allow users to contact the business through features such as a contact form or live chat, while making clear that nothing is sold via 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.
The terms also refer to other documents that may apply, such as a privacy policy and any separate terms of sale or service governing offline sales arrangements. These terms are not suitable for selling online.
Cover contact tools, operator details, and key legal protections
The “How to Contact Us” section includes an option to cross-refer to a separate acceptable usage policy instead of setting out rules for messages and other user content within the terms themselves.
The terms include 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, website operators may be required by law to provide additional information. 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.
The terms also protect intellectual property rights, including copyright, with two alternative versions of the intellectual property clause offering a more restrictive or more flexible approach to saving and copying site content.
Further provisions cover links to and from the site, disclaimers, liability, viruses and security, acceptable use, and how personal information is used. The liability provisions distinguish between consumers and business users.
Include restrictions on 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.
