Website Terms & Conditions (Other)

Website Terms & Conditions are a legal notice that tells visitors, users, or customers using your website that they must agree to those terms to browse your site or use the products or services you offer.

They can help protect you from claims by customers, for example if they say they suffered loss from using your products or services, or got a virus from your website. They should cover the main ways people use your website, whether they are visiting, purchasing, or subscribing. They can also help protect your website content from being copied.

1. Limit liability: Website Terms & Conditions should help limit liability for claims made by users of your website, whether they are purchasing products or services, subscribing, or browsing.
2. New Zealand regulatory compliance: If you run an eCommerce website, you may need Website Terms & Conditions under consumer laws.
3. Information: They let you tell visitors and customers the terms on which you provide your service.
4. Complaints: Having clear written terms can help avoid misunderstandings and complaints.
5. Protection and risk minimisation: They can help protect you from certain claims and from others copying content on your website. They can also help show that you are a legitimate business.

It’s possible that nothing will go wrong if you do not have Website Terms & Conditions. However, they help reduce the risk of issues arising. If you run an eCommerce site, you will generally need them in any event. They can also help protect you against claims relating to things like online viruses, consequential loss and other matters covered by your notice.
