spamming is not allowed and that hateful, violent
language will not be tolerated.
Finally, you can specify that you can delete anyone’s account if they are breaking these rules. This
step will give you control of your website and will
improve user experience by making your website
a positive and welcoming space.
Another advantage of having Terms and Conditions is that you can specify where disputes will
be resolved. For example, let’s say that you are
a business coach based in Chicago that offers a
few classes online on your website. A client took
the class but did not receive as much value for
his money as he wanted and is now suing you.
How do you ensure that you do not have to go
to New York, for example, to litigate this lawsuit?
Your Terms and Conditions should specify where
you will litigate so that you do not have to fly from
Chicago to New York and spend large sums of
money litigating far away from your home state.
Terms and Conditions are also useful because you
can use them to inform your visitors and users
that you are the owner of content, logo, design of
the website, and other intellectual property. This
will help remind users and visitors that they may
not take anything from your website without your
permission.
It also helps ensure that you do not lose the trademark or copyright by nature of multiple companies
using your intellectual property. This small part
helps deter theft of trademarked and copyrighted
materials, thereby possibly saving you thousands
of dollars.
