Terms of Website Use
The most important issue that the Website Terms of Use document outlines is what you are intending to do with your website and structure your website accordingly.
It is essential that your customers are legally bound by the website terms of use. These terms must be properly incorporated into a contract between you and the customer. It is good practice to ensure that all customers must be required to view read and understand your website's terms and conditions and must click “I Accept" to EXPRESSLY indicate that your customers have read and accepted your business terms. Do not hide who you are and what your legal terms are. Ensure that the terms are easily accessible and bring the existence of the terms to the user's attention.
The Website Terms of Use document deals with site changes, website owner's liability, online transactions, the uploading of material, and viruses and hacking.
Both of the Stay Legal products include a Terms of Website Use document which will outline your websites purpose and your liability to your users to avoid any issues outlined above.
