What are terms and conditions?

They are the rules that govern the use of your website, service or app: what the user may do, what obligations they have and what liability the owner assumes. Unlike the legal notice (which identifies the owner under the European Communities (Directive 2000/31/EC) Regulations 2003), the terms and conditions focus on the usage relationship and are especially advisable where there are user accounts, content or features.

What they govern

Acceptance and subject matter of the service.
Conditions of use and minimum age.
Registration and user accounts (where applicable).
Intellectual property and disclaimer of liability.
Modifications and applicable law.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ about the terms and conditions

Is it the same as the legal notice?

No. The legal notice fulfils the identification duty under the European Communities (Directive 2000/31/EC) Regulations 2003 and the Companies Act 2014; the terms and conditions govern how your service is used. Ideally you should have both.

Do I need them if it is just an informational website?

For a simple website, a legal notice, privacy policy and cookie policy usually suffice. Terms and conditions become relevant when there are accounts, user-generated content or service features.
