The best starting point is to use a ready made template similar to the one above. Then you can add other elements which are either not covered or are not covered well enough. Once you get the basic structure it is much easier to add the little extra bits you need. Use Google to search for examples or T & C generators.

Put a mandatory checkmark that users need to abide by your T&C if you can.

Generally we just use T&C generators similar to what Antropy posted. Generally they are fine for everything you need unless you have a very specific business type.

So, you are willing to put your business on the line for a set of random terms from another country?

If you going to use someone else, just copy and edit a competitors.....! This could put a different issue at your doorstep!

Use one that is at least written for the UK (or region), as that will be the governing law.

Use a solicitor and pay a few hundred quid for an edited template.

Spend £100+ to be part of a template club and use it a couple times in total.

Join an organisation like Your Business Community (there are others..) and get professionally written and updated templates (in our case possibly the largest business document library in the UK) and access to free legal advice for any queries you have on it plus a lot of other benefits, as well as the ability to save £100's every year!

But maybe a quick freebie template will protect you if you have an issue with a product or customer.... The choice is yours!

• Introduction

• User content
• Limitations of liability
• Exceptions
• Reasonableness
