highly recommended for websites and apps.
NO AGREE
PLAY NICE
DON’T SPAM
GUIDELINES
(1) Link to https://termsfeed.com/blog/sample-terms-and-conditions-template/

or Terms of Service agreement.

must agree to when using your website or app.
START FREE TRIAL
I AGREE
Here are 5 reasons why you
need Terms and Conditions:
1 Prevent Abuses
Users must agree to (2) your T&C when they
access and use your website or app.
(2) Link to https://termsfeed.com/blog/add-i-agree-terms-checkbox/
NO AGREE
PLAY NICE
DON’T SPAM
GUIDELINES
This means they agree to follow
your guidelines and rules.
Your T&C can include guidelines and rules
on prohibited behaviors and unacceptable
use of your website or app.
Some possible abuses of websites and apps include:
Spamming
Posting defamatory content
Reverse engineering
etc.
1
Because your users agree to follow these rules,
you’ll have recourse against the violating users
when you have a T&C.
2 Own Your Content
Your T&C is where you let users know that
you own your content.
It’s typical to see a clause in a T&C that declares
ownership of copyrights, trademarks, posted
content, etc.
2
3 Terminate Accounts
If your website/app allows users to create
accounts, you want the ability to terminate
these accounts if needed.
This can protect your website/app from abusive accounts.
Including a Termination clause lets you do this.
3
4 Limit Liability
It’s in your best interest to limit your liability
when you create a website or app.
This is especially important if your website/app
provides information, advice or instructions to
users such as a legal blog, investing website or
medical resource site.
Limit your liability to keep from being held responsible
for errors, inaccuracies and damages resulting from
relying on or using your content.
4
5 Set the Governing Law (3)
(3) Link to https://termsfeed.com/blog/governing-law-terms-conditions/
Set which laws will govern your T&C if ever there’s
a dispute falling under them.
This is especially important for
internationally-reaching businesses.
Typically, businesses choose their governing law
as where the business is registered or where the
bulk of business is conducted.
5
While a T&C isn’t legally required, it’s a very important
agreement that:
Protects your rights
Lets you control the use of your website/app
Keeps your users informed about your rules
and requirements
