Terms and conditions
The Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are a set of legal terms defined by a website owner. They set out the terms and conditions that govern the activities of visitors and the relationship between visitors and the website owner. The terms must be established according to the specific needs and nature of each site. For example, a site that offers products to customers involving e-commerce transactions needs to have terms that are different from the terms of a site that offers information only. The terms give the website owner the ability to protect themselves in case of possible legal exposure.
