A Website Terms of Service document (also called terms of use, terms and conditions, or just terms) is an agreement that helps you set out the rules and guidelines that your users or visitors must agree to in order to use your website, blog, online store or app. Terms of service guidelines and rules must be honored by an organization or an individual if they want to use a certain service.
Terms of service are subjected to change and if they do change, the person or the company providing a service needs to notify all the users in a timely manner. Websites and mobile apps that only provide their visitors with information usually don't require terms of service, but if we are talking about providers that offer services online or on a site that will keep the user's personal data, then the terms of service is required.
Some of the broadest examples where the terms of service is mandatory include social media, financial transaction websites and online auctions. Displaying terms of service on your website or mobile app is a great way to inform visitors about their rights, guidelines and rules for using the website or mobile app. This agreement is very important and may be used in a court of law if a company is facing an expensive lawsuit.
Below are two standard Terms of Service (ToS) examples. They address different types of websites/apps—one for a general content website and another for an e-commerce or marketplace app. Remember, actual Terms of Service should be customized to fit specific legal requirements, services, and locations. Consulting a legal professional for review and compliance is recommended.
