Terms & Conditions
Legal Disclaimer
Funding Matters is committed to providing general and high-level explanations and information on creating effective Terms & Conditions. It's important to note that the information provided here should not be considered legal advice or specific recommendations for your business. Each business has unique terms to establish with its clients, so seeking legal advice is recommended to ensure the creation of comprehensive and tailored Terms & Conditions.
Understanding Terms & Conditions
Terms and Conditions (T&C) are legally binding terms set by the business owner to govern the interactions of website visitors or customers. These terms establish the legal relationship between the business and its site visitors or customers. T&C should be customized to the specific nature and needs of the business. For instance, an e-commerce website will have different T&C compared to an informational website like a blog or landing page. They provide the business owner with a means to protect themselves from potential legal exposure, although this may vary by jurisdiction. Seeking local legal advice is advisable for ensuring comprehensive protection.
Key Inclusions in the T&C Document
In general, T&C cover various issues such as user eligibility, acceptable payment methods, the ability of the business to modify its offerings in the future, warranties provided to customers, intellectual property or copyright references, the business's rights to suspend or terminate member accounts, and more.
