Website Terms and Conditions
Also Known As: Terms and Conditions, Terms of Use
Who Needs This: Anyone who operates a website. So, everyone!
Description: Common sense is not common. ~ Voltaire You might think website use and content ownership is obvious but it’s not. Clearly define who can use your website, for what purposes, and that all the content (photos, blog posts, videos, graphics, comments, reviews, posts, art, designs, trademarks, and logos) is yours. Remind folks who comment, post, or review how to behave online. Bonus—copyright, including under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and trademark notices broadcasting loud and clear your copyright and trademark rights—important to ward off would be infringers.
Heads Up: The terms and conditions for use of your website are different from your privacy policy. Find the privacy policy template here.
