Terms and conditions
The Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are a set of legal terms defined by the owner of the website. These establish the terms and conditions applicable to the activities of visitors on the website and the relationship between website visitors and the owner of the website.
Terms must be determined according to the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, a website offering products to customers via e-commerce requires different Terms than an informational website.
The terms provide the website owner with the ability to protect themselves from potential exposure to legal risk.
