What does the term "browsewrap" mean?

"Browsewrap" is the term used for websites that allow users to accept their terms and conditions simply by navigating through the site. Browsewrap is typically only used for static sites that are primarily informational in nature with little to no interaction with the site or others and do not offer products or services for sale.

What does the term "clickwrap" mean?

"Clickwrap," on the other hand, refers to sites that require visitors to affirmatively agree to the terms by clicking an "Accept" button, or checking a similar box, before creating an account or making a purchase. Clickwrap is recommended for all sites that go beyond browsewrap by selling products and services or allowing users to post content or interact with others. If you choose to implement clickwrap, you should be sure that your method requires visitors to make an affirmative action assenting to the terms and conditions.

Do I need to have a sale, refund, and cancellation policy?

If you sell goods or services through your website, then you should outline your sales policy, including any conditions of sale, return policies, guarantees, payment details, fees, and shipping terms. Doing so helps avoid potential disputes and lawsuits with aggrieved visitors. Likewise, you should include any refund and cancellation policies you may have in order to put visitors on notice and avoid conflicts.

Should my online terms and conditions allow me to limit access to my site?

Yes. Our online terms and conditions allow you to terminate a visitor's access to any part or service on the site at any time in your sole discretion, without notice. These terms may be updated at any time. A visitor's continued use of the site is often considered acceptance of such updates. It's important to provide visitors with notice of such updates by any reasonable means, including by email or posting notice in a prominent place on the site.

Do these online terms and conditions contain disclaimers?

Yes. The disclaimers in our form include many of the most important terms and conditions. Among these, visitors are told that the site is provided on an "as is" basis, and potential express and implied warranties are disclaimed in order to prevent visitors from seeking to hold you liable for promises you do not intend to offer. This also includes disclaimers for any loss or damages that may occur to visitors' computers, internet connections, or user content. Visitors are told that the content on your website is for informational purposes only and does not offer any professional advice, including legal, financial, or medical advice.
