Terms and Conditions
Terms and conditions (“Terms”) are a set of legal terms defined by the owner of a Web site. They set forth the terms and conditions that govern the activities of visitors to a Web site, as well as the relationship between site visitors and the site owner.
Terms should be defined according to the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, a website that offers products to customers in e-commerce transactions requires different Terms than a website that only provides information.
The Terms provide the website owner with the ability to protect against potential legal liability.
