websites terms & conditions

[connell83]

I need to put some terms and conditions on my website. These are just generic things that could come in useful. Is there any standard terms and conditions out there that people use, and then change to suit their website, rather than just starting from scratch?

thanks guys

Generic Ts and Cs are fill for its own sake. Start from scratch, and cover the points you need to cover, and no more.

If it's an e-commerce website and you're selling to consumers you be best to get a set of T&C's made up for you. The Distance Selling Regulations complicate things and if you don't know what you're doing you can end up shooting yourself in the foot and giving the customer more rights that they would otherwise be entitled to.

Try posting in the legal section, there are a at least a couple of members who can do this for you.

ps. make it clear you don't want to be restricted to that specific site, just in case you start another site at a later date - some companies will try to 'licence' the T&C's for one site only...

Try www.website-law.co.uk (http://www.website-law.co.uk/) for some useful pointers and templates. That's seems like quite a useful site, and there T&C's seem quite cheap - although they are split into consumer or business, so if you're selling to both I'm not sure if they have anything suitable?

Give the chap a ring, he is very helpful.

Another one to look at is Net Lawman (http://www.netlawman.co.uk/bizdoclist/internet-and-ecommerce.php#Terms%20and%20conditions)

I use them and they are a good company.

You can see a lot of other people use them as well if you just do a Google search for "Copyright Net Lawman" as its a requirement that you leave their copyright notice intact at the bottom of the page.

They do some useful free guides as well.

remember to include DSR - distance selling regulations or you could fall foul of a pinickity customer and trading standards.
