What is Terms of service?
Terms
of service (commonly abbreviated as ToS or TOS) are rules which one
must agree to abide by in order to use a service. Unless in violation of
consumer protection laws, such terms are usually legally binding. Terms
of Service can also be referred to as Terms of Use or sometimes merely a
Disclaimer, especially regarding the use of websites.
Certain websites are noted for having
carefully designed terms of service, particularly eBay and PayPal, which
need to maintain a high level of community trust because of
transactions involving money. Terms of service can cover a range of
issues, including acceptable user behavior online, a company's marketing
policies, and copyright notices. Some organizations, such as Yahoo!,
can change their terms of service without notice to the user base.
A ToS violation can result in myriad
consequences towards those who are guilty depending on the service and
the severity of the violation. Most organizations reserve the right to
restrict a user's access to the service if they violate the terms in the
agreement. In more serious cases, the user will have his or her account
terminated.
What is Privacy policy?
A
privacy policy is a legal document that discloses some or all of the
ways a party gathers, uses, discloses and manages a customer's data. The
exact contents of a privacy policy will depend upon the applicable law
and may need to address the requirements of multiple countries or
jurisdictions. While there is no universal guidance for the content of
specific privacy policies, a number of organizations provide example
forms or online wizards.
So what do you do if you have just started
out as an entrepreneur of your website and want a ToS/PP of your own? I
