Terms and Conditions
Terms and conditions (“Terms”) are a set of legal terms defined by the owner of a website. They set out the terms and conditions that govern the activities of visitors on a website, as well as the relationship between website visitors and the website owner.
Terms should be defined based on the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, a website that offers products to customers in e-commerce transactions requires different Terms than a website that only provides information.
The Terms provide the website owner with the ability to protect itself from potential legal liability.
In general, what should Terms and Conditions include?
Who can use the website and what are the requirements to create an account (if applicable)

Reservation of the right to modify offers
