Terms and Conditions

Legal notice

The explanations and information provided on this page are only general explanations and information on how to draft your own Terms and Conditions document. You should not consider this article as legal advice or recommendations on what you should actually do, as we cannot know in advance what specific terms you want to establish between your business and your customers and visitors. We recommend that you seek legal advice to understand and draft your own Terms and Conditions.

Terms and Conditions: Basics

Dicho esto, los Términos y Condiciones («T&C») son un conjunto de términos legalmente vinculantes definidos por ti, como propietario de este sitio web. Los T&C establecen los límites legales que rigen las actividades de los visitantes del sitio web, o tus clientes, mientras visitan o participan en este sitio web. Los T&C tienen como finalidad establecer la relación legal entre los visitantes del sitio y tú como propietario de dicho sitio.

Los T&C deben definirse según las necesidades específicas y la naturaleza de cada sitio web. Por ejemplo, un sitio web que ofrece productos a los clientes en operaciones de comercio electrónico, requiere T&C diferentes a los T&C de un sitio web que únicamente proporciona información (como un blog, página de inicio, etc.).

The Terms and Conditions give you, as the website owner, the ability to protect yourself from legal liability, but this may differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so be sure to seek local legal advice if you are trying to protect yourself from legal liability.

What should be included in the Terms and Conditions document

In general, T&Cs usually address these types of issues: who is authorized to use the website, possible payment methods, a statement that the website owner may change their offering in the future, the types of guarantees the website owner offers to their customers, a reference to intellectual property or copyright issues (if relevant), the website owner's right to suspend or terminate a member's account, and more.
