What is a Website Terms and Conditions of Use?

Video Transcript

A terms and conditions of use is an essential document for any business selling goods or services online.

Under the Australian Consumer Law, if you are selling goods and services or providing professional advice on your website, you are legally required to have a Website Terms and Conditions of Use. In fact, most Australian banks will not even consider opening an account for you unless you have this document in place.

A Website Terms and Conditions of Use sets out the rules that users must follow when using your website. It also provides protection for your intellectual property and disclaimers to limit your liability on your website.

Traditionally, website terms and conditions and website terms of use were dealt with in separate documents. A website terms and conditions manages how consumers purchase goods and services on your website. A website terms of use deals with how your customers interact with your website.

At LawPath, we have combined both the website terms and conditions and terms of use into one single, comprehensive document.

  1. Your compliance under the Australian Consumer Law;
  2. It limits the liability of the information that you provide on your website for yourself and third parties; and
  3. Your ownership, rights and licence to use the website.
