Website Disclaimer / T&C etc

[jules1503]

Hi all!

I am in the process of setting up a buy/sell website and am wondering where to go to get help with any legal info i need to include and/or any disclaimers.

Are these standard?
Do i need to get a solicitor to draw them up?

Sorry to sound thick :redface: but i really have no idea where to start with this so any help gratefully appreciated!

Many Thanks

Jules

Jules,


These are some templates out there but depending on the risk it may be better to have them professionally drafted.

I used one of the solicitors on here to prepare mine, BGlaw if I remember the name correctly. Recommended.

Here is the solicitor I used:

please spend some time getting this right as its very important and can get over looked.

How much, on averge, would it cost to have a full T&C document professionally drafted?

Nothing.

www.websitelaw (either .co or .com)

Use the templates and adapt where necessary. free to use if you put a link in the footer of the page.

Of course you can play safe and pay a solicitor £500 to do more or less the same thing, which will afford you the same amount of legal protection (virtually none)?

Looks good though?

Whoever said before to spend time getting it right was exactly right themselves. It will cost you to have it done by a solicitor but it will be bulletproof.

When we set our e-shop up, our owner went to a friend of his at another company and asked if we could use their T&Cs, but the answer was no because they had spend thousands having them drawn up and further thousands having them kept up to date each year with changes in the law.

Cough up and get it done, and it's one less thing for you to worry about.

Consumers are being encouraged more and more these days to take what they can from retailers and etailers so if there is a gap in your T&Cs someone might cause you a problem.
