GENERAL RENTAL CONDITIONS

LEGAL NOTICE

The explanations and information provided on this page are only general and high-level explanations and information on how to draft your own rental terms and conditions document. You should not rely on this article as legal advice or recommendations on what you should actually do, as we cannot know in advance what specific terms you want to establish between your business and your customers and visitors. We recommend that you seek legal advice to help you understand and assist you in creating your own rental terms and conditions.

GENERAL RENTAL CONDITIONS - THE BASICS

That being said, the General Rental Terms and Conditions (“GTC”) are a set of legally binding terms defined by you, as the owner of this website. The GTC establishes the legal boundaries governing the activities of website visitors or your customers, when they visit or interact with this website. The GTC are intended to establish the legal relationship between website visitors and you as the owner of the website.

T&Cs should be defined according to the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, a website offering products to customers as part of e-commerce transactions requires different T&Cs than a website providing information only (such as a blog, landing page, etc.).

The T&Cs allow you as the website owner to protect yourself from potential legal exposure, but this may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so ensure you receive local legal advice if you are seeking to protect yourself from legal exposure.

WHAT TO INCLUDE IN THE T&C DOCUMENT

Typically, T&Cs often address these types of issues: Who is allowed to use the website; possible payment methods; a statement that the website owner may change its offering in the future; the types of warranties the website owner gives to its customers; a reference to intellectual property or copyright issues, if any; the website owner's right to suspend or cancel a member's account; and much more.
