Depending on the type of website you own and where you are located, you may want to include a Terms and Conditions page.

A Terms and Conditions (T&C) page is not required, but provides benefits, including:

• Intellectual Property - You own your website and all the original content on it, including original text, images, and logos. A T&C informs users they must abide by the international copyright laws and it gives you recourse if someone uses your original content without your written consent.
• Limits Liability - T&C generally include disclaimers that limits your liability in case of errors, inaccurate/incomplete information, or bad advice. This can be essentially useful for sites that revolve around finances or health.
• Terminate Registered Accounts- Since the T&C is a binding contract between you and the user, users must abide by the rules. This means that any abuse (keylogging software, spam, spyware, fraudulent, illegal, or harmful activity, etc.) from the user is in violation and you can terminate their account and user content, no questions asked, at any time.
• Written Consent - This informs users, again, they must abide by international copyright laws. Your original content may only be reproduced with express written consent. The T&C allows you to add contact info for users to obtain written consent.
