Terms and conditions (Goods) for your website

Frequently Asked Question

What are the terms and conditions of a website?

Terms and conditions are the rules and regulations that govern a website. These terms and conditions define what a user can and cannot do on a website. They also set out the rights and responsibilities of both the website owner and the user. 

Why should I have terms and conditions for my website?

There are several reasons why you might want to have terms and conditions for your website:

  • To protect your intellectual property; 
  • To limit your liability; 
  • To set out the rules for the use of your website; 
  • To ensure that users understand their rights and responsibilities. 
What should I include in my website's terms and conditions?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. The terms and conditions of a website will vary depending on the nature of the website and the business that operates it. However, there are some elements that are often included in website terms and conditions, such as: 

  • A statement of your intellectual property rights; 
  • A disclaimer of liability; 
  • An explanation of how your website can be used; 
  • A description of the user’s responsibilities; 
  • A link to your privacy policy. If you need help creating Terms and Conditions (Goods) for your website, our team of experts can assist you.
Are the website's terms and conditions legally binding?

This will depend on the country in which you are based and the laws that apply there. In some countries, such as the United States, website terms and conditions are generally considered to be legally binding.

In other countries, such as the United Kingdom, and Australia, website terms and conditions are not automatically binding but can be made so by including a statement to that effect.

No. It is not legal for you to copy your competitors’ terms and conditions. Terms and conditions must be unique to each website. If you copy someone else’s terms and conditions, you may be accused of plagiarism or copyright infringement. 

Can I change my website's terms and conditions?

Yes. You can change your website’s terms and conditions at any time. However, you should always notify users of any changes that you make. The best way to do this is to post a notice on your website informing users of the changes that have been made.

What should I do if my website's terms and conditions have been breached?

If you believe that your website’s terms and conditions have been breached, you should take action. This may involve contacting the user who has breached the terms and conditions or taking legal action.
