Website Terms of Use
The Terms of Use of a website ("Terms") are a set of legal provisions set out by the owner of a website. They contain the terms and conditions that govern the activities of visitors to a given website and the relationship between users and the owner of the website.
The Terms must be tailored to the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, a website that offers products to customers via e-commerce will require Terms that will be different from the Terms of a website that merely provides information.
The terms and conditions protect the site owner from potential legal risk.
