If you have a blog, an app, a marketplace or e-commerce site, or if you display ads on your site/app, you most likely need a Terms and Conditions document.
Terms and Conditions sets legally binding rules about how your site, content, and services may be used, so it’s highly recommended, and sometimes even mandatory.
Especially if you have a marketplace or e-commerce store, Terms and Conditions can help you handle the demands of unreasonable clients by setting clear rules about:
- return
- withdrawal
- cancellation policies
- sales conditions
💡 Did you know?
Most e-commerce sites are legally required to have a refund and return policy in place.
In fact, if you don’t have a Terms and Conditions document, or if you have a document that lacks specific provisions, your users may be granted a number of extra rights – like an extended return period (e.g. extended from the standard 14 days to 1 year and 14 days in the EU!).
💡 Follow these steps to create your Terms and Conditions document
- First, login to your Online Compliance dashboard
- Choose an existing site/project or click on “Start Generating”
- Create your document: Under “Terms and Conditions”, click “Generate now” or click on “Resume the Generation”
- Click on “Add Clauses” and choose from 100+ lawyer-drafted clauses (including disclaimers) or customize clauses to fit your needs
- Add up to 10 languages to your document in just 1 click, by clicking on “Add language”
💡 Did you know?
It’s not enough to have your Terms and Conditions only on your homepage. Because Terms and Conditions are meant to be a legally binding contract between you and your users, you need to ensure that your users can always easily see, access and (ideally) agree to your terms.
This is why on the next email, we will show you how to integrate your document into your website/app.
