Responsabilidade Jurídica
Cristiane Paulin provides general informational content on this page concerning legal terms and conditions. These materials are not intended to be construed as legal advice or recommendations on specific actions, as we cannot anticipate the specific terms you may wish to establish between your company and its clients and visitors. It is recommended that you seek legal counsel if you require assistance in understanding and creating your own Terms and Conditions.
Key Notions of Terms and Conditions
In essence, Terms and Conditions ("T&C") are a set of legally binding terms defined by you, as the owner of this website. The T&C establish the legal framework governing the activities of the site's visitors or clients during their visit or interaction with this site. The purpose of the T&C is to establish the legal relationship between the site's visitors and you, the site owner.
The T&C should be established according to the specific needs and nature of each site. For example, a site offering products to customers involving e-commerce transactions needs to have T&C that are different from those of a site providing only information (such as a blog, a home page redirecting to others, and so on).
T&C provide you, as the site owner, with the opportunity to protect yourself against potential legal exposure. However, this may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so seek local legal guidance if you intend to protect yourself from legal exposure.
Inclusions in the T&C Document
In general terms, T&C often regulate the following issues: who can use the site; possible forms of payment; a statement that the site owner may alter its offers in the future; the types of warranty the site owner provides to its customers; a reference to issues of intellectual property or copyright, when relevant; the right of the site owner to suspend or cancel a member's account; and much more.
