What are Terms and Conditions :
Suppose a user visit your website and want to purchase or access the service you are providing, so there are some rules or guidelines you want your user to agree in order to use your website. This is a legal document between the owner of the website and the user. While terms and conditions for every website are strongly recommended but it is not required by the law to have this agreement, unlike privacy policy.
Why do we need Terms and Conditions:
- To prevent your website from abusive users. The abusive user may include spamming other user or posting defamatory content etc.
- Terms and conditions are very important if you have original content on your website and you want to own your content.
- In the case of any abusive user, you want to keep the right to ban the user that’s why we need termination clause.
- Terms and conditions are important to limit your liability under which owner is not liable for any errors in the content presented, or for the information provided are accurate, complete, or suitable for any purpose.
What is Privacy Policy:
Privacy Policy is the legal document which ensures that data provided by the user on your website is not misused in any way and website owner will not release user’s personal information anywhere.
As per law, it is mandatory for any website which collects user information to have a privacy policy for the website.
Laws In India :
