Video: What is a Terms and Conditions Agreement

If you're looking to create your own company or fully protect your business, including a Terms and Conditions agreement is a business necessity. The Terms and Conditions agreement for your company is your opportunity to dictate the use of your site and protect your company from legal issues.

If you want to learn what a Terms and Conditions agreement is, if it's required by law, and how to write one, then stay tuned.

Hey everyone, it's Heleana here, and welcome to Privacy Policies, the place where you can generate custom-made Privacy Policies in seconds to help keep your business safe.

So let's get started.

What is a Terms and Conditions agreement?

It's essentially a contract between you and your customers, where you make services available to your customers and in return for using these services, your customers promise they'll follow the rules you set out in your Terms and Conditions.

You can think of a Terms and Conditions agreement as a "one stop shop" for all the key information that customers need before they use your services or make a purchase.

A Terms and Conditions agreement allows you to:

• Withdraw and cancel services
• Disable user accounts
• Manage customer expectations
• Set rules for user behavior

Your Terms and Conditions agreement is both a social and a legal contract.

These agreements are an opportunity to protect your site, brand, and users, and you can use them strategically to set you apart from your competition. They're a place for you to tell users what you expect from them and even how they must behave when using your website or app. You can also share what they should or shouldn't expect from you so everyone is on the same page.

Is a Terms and Conditions agreement required by law like a Privacy Policy is?

The answer to this question is no, you are not legally required to have a Terms and Conditions agreement. However, it is still smart to have and we highly recommend that you have a Terms and Conditions agreement in place.

Here's why:

• You can use your Terms and Conditions to limit your liability under contract.
• Terms and Conditions let you regulate user behavior and conduct.
• It's easier to prove deliberate copyright or trademark infringement if there's an intellectual property (IP) clause in your contract.
• You can easily terminate someone's account without explanation, or withhold access to a service, if you've reserved this right in your Terms and Conditions.

What are some common sections that should be included in a Terms and Conditions agreement?

Every Terms and Conditions agreement should have, at a minimum, the following clauses:

• A brief introduction
• The effective date
• Jurisdiction/governing law
• Link to your Privacy Policy
• Contact information
• Limitation of liability and disclaimer of warranties
• Rules of conduct
• User restrictions
• Account termination information

Depending on the services you offer, you might also include clauses on:

• Returns and exchanges
• Third party terms and conditions
• Subscription information
• Payment information
• Delivery and shipping details
