Did you know that if you are collecting any sort of information on users of your site, you must have a privacy policy? “Must”, meaning it’s a federal law? Not only that, but the newly-mandated GDPR and CCPA laws also require that you have a privacy policy in place anywhere that you are collecting “personal data”.
Terms and Conditions are one of the foundational elements of your website- it’s a contract between you and the user of your site. While not a federal requirement, I make sure all of my clients have a Terms and Conditions on their website, along with a privacy policy.
This contract comes ready for you to plug it into your website today, with provisions that will protect your business now and in the future.
You pour so much time and effort into making your products perfect…you don’t want to leave loose ends by not protecting the rights to your work. If the product is never delivered, who bears the risk of loss? If your work is copied, are you protected? The Terms and Conditions of Online Sales is a separate document that customers must agree to before purchasing a product, which will lay out topics such as your return policy, risk of loss provisions, all disclaimed and implied warranties, and more.
