Get legal help
with terms & conditions
for your website

Website Terms & Conditions set out the rules people must follow when using your website. It includes protection for your IP and disclaimers to limit your liability. If you have a website, you definitely need one in place because the way people use information on your website is often out of your control, and having a simple disclaimer can help you limit your liability.

If you’re selling goods or services on your website, T&Cs are essential to secure payments and set customer expectations. There’s no standard type of Website Terms and Conditions because every business is different. There are multiple things that your business needs to be aware of, depending on factors such as the industry you’re in and whether you take online payment. Our expert business lawyers can draft your Website Terms and Conditions and ensure that they are tailored to your business’ requirements.

It is a legal notice which tells visitors, users or customers coming to your website that they have to agree to that notice to browse on your site, or use the products/services you offer. 

Website Terms & Conditions protect you from claims by customers e.g. saying that they’ve suffered loss as a result of using the products or services you offer, or getting a virus from your website. It should cover most things that people come to do on your website, whether they are just visiting, purchasing, subscribing etc. The notice should also protect you from others copying things from your site. 

1. Limit liability: The terms and conditions should limit any liability coming from claims of damages from users of your website (whether they are purchasing products or services, subscribing or browsing).
2. Australian regulatory compliance: If you run an eCommerce website, you will need Website Terms & Conditions under Australian Consumer Law.
3. Information: With this notice, you are able to inform visitors and customers about the terms of your service. 
4. Complaints: By having a written notice of exactly what your service is, you can avoid misunderstandings and complaints. 
5. Protection and risk minimisation: As we’ve covered, it should protect you from certain claims and from others copying content on your website. It also communicates that you are a legitimate business!

There’s a chance that nothing bad could happen without Website Terms & Conditions. However, we want to prevent the other chances that something could happen. Besides, if you’re an eCommerce site, you will need one in any event. 

It can prevent claims against things like online viruses, consequential loss and other things your notice covers you from.
