Website terms and conditions set out rules and guidelines, via a binding contract, in relation to access to your website. This seeks to prevent abuse of your website, data on your website and your intellectual property contained therein – for example it seeks to avoid defamatory content, spamming and passing off.
Other advantages of website terms and conditions include:
- Outline the ownership of content contained on the website (intellectual property).
- Outline scenarios where access by specific people can be suspended and/or terminated.
- Limit your liability in relation to use of your website and content contained therein.
- Set the governing law for any disputes related to the website and the information contained therein.
- Avoids the needs for continued updates and clarification of terms of use and answers questions that users may have
