How this agreement can help you:
A Terms and Conditions agreement acts as a legal contract between you (the company) and the user.
It's
where you maintain your rights to exclude users from your app in the event that they abuse your
website/app, set out the rules for using your service and note other important details and
disclaimers.
Having a Terms and Conditions agreement is completely optional. No laws require you to have one.
Not
even the super-strict and wide-reaching General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Your Terms and Conditions agreement will be uniquely yours. While some clauses are standard and
commonly seen in pretty much every Terms and Conditions agreement, it's up to you to set the rules
and
guidelines that the user must agree to.
Terms and Conditions agreements are also known as Terms of Service or Terms of Use agreements.
These
terms are interchangeable, practically speaking. More rarely, it may be called something like an
End
User Services Agreement (EUSA).
-
If users abuse your website or mobile app in any way, you can terminate their account. Your
"Termination" clause can inform users that their accounts would be terminated if they abuse your
service.
-
If users can post content on your website or mobile app (create content and share it on your
platform), you can remove any content they created if it infringes copyright. Your Terms and
Conditions will inform users that they can only create and/or share content they own rights to.
Similarly, if users can register for an account and choose a username, you can inform users that
they
are not allowed to choose usernames that may infringe trademarks, i.e. usernames like Google,
Facebook, and so on.
-
If you sell products or services, you could cancel specific orders if a product price is
incorrect.
Your Terms and Conditions can include a clause to inform users that certain orders, at your sole
discretion, can be canceled if the products ordered have incorrect prices due to various errors.
And many more examples.
