Instructions for Your Terms of Use

All websites need to post their website terms of use in order to notify visitors of its rules and protect themselves from a wide variety of potential legal liabilities. The following information explains the main sections and key considerations of website terms of use.

Note that this document is meant for websites based within the United States. It may not be appropriate for sites hosted in other countries or may need additional language.

Acceptance of Terms

This section explains that, by using the website and any services provided, the visitor agrees to abide by the terms and conditions. These terms are a binding legal agreement. Also, the section specifies any age restrictions you impose on visitors.

Browsewrap vs. Clickwrap

"Browsewrap" is the term used for websites that allow users to accept their terms and conditions simply by navigating through the site. "Clickwrap," on the other hand, refers to sites that require visitors to affirmatively agree to the terms by clicking an "Accept" button, or checking a similar box, before creating an account or making a purchase.

Browsewrap is typically only used for static sites that are primarily informational in nature with little to no interaction with the site or others and do not offer products or services for sale. Clickwrap is recommended for all sites that go beyond browsewrap by selling products and services or allowing users to post content or interact with others.

If you choose to implement clickwrap, you should be sure that your method requires visitors to make an affirmative action assenting to the terms and conditions. Best practice is to require visitors to scroll through the entire terms (and privacy policy, if you have one) before they can click the button or box to agree.

License to Use

Visitors are granted the limited right to use the website so long as they conform to the requirements set out in the terms.

Advertisements

You, as the website operator, have the right to advertisements, some of which may be targeted based on the type of information on the site, queries made, or other information submitted by visitors. The types and amount of advertising on the site is subject to change.

Cookies

This section explains that your website uses cookies, which store information related to visitors' preferences, browser type, and other information in order to optimize their experiences. Visitors may choose to decline cookies by disabling them in their browser settings.

2. to transmit viruses and other malicious computer software,
3. to harvest data,
4. to transmit or send unsolicited communications,
5. to commercially exploit its content,
6. to attempt to gain unauthorized access to restricted parts of the site, and
7. to harass, stalk, harm, or otherwise interfere with another user's normal use and enjoyment of the site.

International Use and Compliance

Visitors are responsible for ensuring that their use of the site conforms to all local, international, and other laws that may apply.

Minors and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act

This section, if included, explains whether you knowingly collect, or allow others to collect, personal information or data from visitors under 13 years of age and, if so, provides your reasons for doing so. Website operators that collect this information are required to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which includes obtaining verifiable parental consent to your collection and use of data pertaining to children.

User Accounts

This section is included if you allow visitors to the website to create user accounts or profiles. Those that do so are called "Members." By creating an account, each Member agrees that all information submitted when creating an account is true and accurate and promises to update and maintain the accuracy of this information at all times. Each Member is the sole authorized user of his or her account and is responsible for keeping passwords and account access information confidential.

User Content

This section is included if you indicated that visitors can submit content on the site. After providing a definition of such "User Content," the section explains that you do not monitor, support, or endorse the submission or publication of any particular User Content and, therefore, may not be held responsible for it. You may remove User Content at any time and for any reason, without notice.

User Content License

Visitors maintain ownership of all User Content submitted and grant you a license to use, publish, copy, and modify the content as you choose.

Enforcement of Acceptable Use Policy

You may review and investigate visitors' use of the site and take any appropriate action against them that you determine necessary in your sole discretion.

Third-Party Resources

Here, you explain that the site may contain links and advertisements to third-party websites and services, called "Third-Party Resources." Visitors agree that Third-Party Resources are not under your control and that you are not responsible for the content, products, or services they provide.

Modification of Site

In this section, you reserve the right to modify, add to, suspend, or terminate all or part of the site or its services at any time with or without providing prior notice to visitors.

Support or Maintenance

Here, visitors are told that you are under no obligation to provide customer support or website maintenance.

Restricted Access

Visitors agree not to use the site to gain improper access to restricted parts. If you provide visitors with account access to areas of the site that are restricted to the general public, such visitors agree not to share their password and other access information with others.

Privacy

This section alerts visitors to your privacy policy, if you have one, and explains the general situations that you may be required to disclose visitor information to others; for instance, to respond to legal claims or requests for customer service.

Your Rights and Ownership

With the exception of any User Content that may be submitted by visitors, you own all intellectual property rights to the content on the website. Visitors agree not to sell, copy, or otherwise misappropriate your intellectual property and to keep all copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property notices on all copies of your content.

Copyright Policy

This section outlines the process for reporting any allegations of copyright infringement on your website according to the proper procedure outlined under 17 U.S.C. 512(c) and then designates your copyright agent responsible for receiving and investigating such notices. This information is necessary to comply with the safe harbor provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

These requirements include that you (a) provide notice to your users of your policies regarding copyright infringement and the consequences of repeated infringing activity, (b) follow the proper notice and takedown procedures, including removing, or disabling access to, the material, providing notice to the individual responsible for such material, providing such individual with an opportunity to provide proper "counter-notice," and complying with applicable procedures thereafter, and (c) designate an agent to receive notices of infringement from copyright owners.

Sales, Refund, and Cancellation Policies

If you sell goods or services through your website, then you should outline your sales policy in this section, including any conditions of sale, return policies, guarantees, payment details, fees, and shipping terms. Doing so helps avoid potential disputes and lawsuits with aggrieved visitors.

Likewise, you should include any refund and cancellation policies you may have in order to put visitors on notice and avoid conflicts.

Disclaimers

The disclaimers include many of your most important terms and conditions. Among these, visitors are told that the site is provided on an "as-is" basis, and potential express and implied warranties are disclaimed in order to prevent visitors from seeking to hold you liable for promises you do not intend to offer. This also includes disclaimers for any loss or damages that may occur to visitors' computers, internet connections, or User Content.

Visitors are told that the content on your website is for informational purposes only and does not offer any professional advice, including legal, financial, or medical advice.

Limitation of Liability

This is another important section because it limits your potential liability for visitors' use of the site to a maximum of the greater of $100 or amounts paid by the visitors in the past six months.

Visitors also agree not to bring any claims personally against any of your subsidiaries, officers, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, partners, suppliers, or licensors.

Indemnity and Release
