What to Include in Your Terms and Conditions?
Terms and conditions should always be drafted with the particularities of your business in mind.

So whatever you do, don’t copy them from someone else. There are many reasons why you shouldn’t, especially considering other viable options available to draft your own terms.

So, the first step when thinking about drafting your own terms and conditions should be identifying the risks and liabilities associated with your website or business in order to better address them in the terms.

Here are some clauses which are considered standard in terms and conditions agreements.

General Conditions & Termination
It is your website, therefore you can decide how it should be used. It is common to see terms and conditions which include a list of prohibitions or general guidelines to be followed by customers.

These can be broad, such as stating that your services are not to be used for illegal or unlawful purposes or that users must not try to breach or test the vulnerability of your network or circumvent security measures.

If your platform is collaborative, meaning users are invited to share such as on a social media network, you could have a separate page with community guidelines, which you could link to in that clause.

You can reserve the right to terminate the contract or disable user accounts should there be a violation of any of your terms, guidelines, and conditions by including a termination clause – this is very common in the case of websites and SaaS applications.
