Providing Protection In An Area Of Increasing Risk


Have Peace Of Mind Knowing Your Business Is Protected With Robust Terms and Conditions 

Terms of Service, also called Terms & Conditions, are policies in addition to others, such as a Privacy Policy, that act as contractual agreements between the owner of a website or other application and those who utilize it. Whether you operate an e-commerce website or some other online business, terms are necessary to protect your business adequately. Therefore, Terms of Service & Conditions should include everything from clauses that protect your intellectual property to provisions aimed at limiting liability. Further, the specific architecture of how users consent to the terms plays a critical role in whether courts will find that there is an enforceable contract. These considerations help illustrate that while Terms & Conditions might seem mundane and meaningless legalese not requiring much attention, the opposite is true.
In contrast to Terms & Conditions that an automated tool might generate, Terms & Conditions drafted by a lawyer are specific to your business and ensure that the essential protections are in place. But, perhaps, even more importantly, a lawyer helps ensure that any disadvantageous terms are not included. In contrast, an automated generator may contain such unwanted clauses, leading a business to unknowingly and unnecessarily increase its risk and limit valuable protections. Astute drafting concerning where to include advantageous clauses and when to exclude those that might be disadvantageous is critical, as courts generally hold that Terms of Service are legally enforceable agreements, resulting in the potential for harmful clauses to be used against your business.
At RICHT, we provide clients with an affordable way to protect their business with comprehensive Terms of Service & Conditions specific to the nuances of their particular operations.
