Terms of use

Website terms and conditions (version 2.0)

(1) Introduction

These terms and conditions govern your use of our website; by using our website, you accept these terms and conditions in full. If you disagree with any part of these terms and conditions, do not use our website.

(2) Intellectual property rights

Unless otherwise stated, we or our licensors own the intellectual property rights in the website and material on the website. Subject to the licence below, all these intellectual property rights are reserved.

(3) Licence to use website

You may view, download for caching purposes only, and print pages [or [OTHER CONTENT]] from the website for your own personal use, subject to the restrictions below.

1. There are two main purposes of website terms and conditions: first, they set out the contractual framework for the use of the website; second, they fulfil some of the legal obligations placed upon some kinds of businesses and websites. Our terms and conditions template is intended for use by websites hosted in and focused on England and Wales; it can, however, be adapted for use in other jurisdictions – although this should only be done by someone with the requisite familiarity with the relevant law of the other jurisdiction. The template is designed for some of the most common kinds of websites: information sites, online brochures/adverts for products and services, personal websites, and similar kinds of sites. It contains optional provisions for websites with restricted access or interactive features such as bulletin boards. It is not however sufficient for use on websites which collect personal information, or for ecommerce sites (i.e. those involving the sale or purchase of goods or services). Websites with unusual or non-standard features should always use bespoke terms and conditions. The website terms and conditions template will need to be edited before it is ready for use. Square brackets in the document indicate the sections which need or are likely to need to be edited. However you should carefully review the whole document to ensure that it meets with your requirements. If you have any doubts, you should seek professional advice.

2. The completed website terms and conditions should be easily accessible on your website, preferably from every page. Ideally, from a legal perspective, users should be asked to expressly agree to these terms (e.g. by clicking an “I agree” button). This is rarely done in relation to general website terms and conditions. If however users have to register to enter a restricted access area of the website or to use functionality in the website, you should ensure that they click “I accept” on a click-wrap version of the terms and conditions. Similarly, if your website contains a bulletin board, chat room or comments feature then we recommend that you use a click-wrap version which must be specifically agreed to by users.

You must not:

(a) republish material from this website (including republication on another website);

(b) sell, rent or otherwise sub-license material on the website;

(d) [redistribute material from this website except for content specifically and expressly made available for redistribution.

[Where content is specifically made available for redistribution, it may only be redistributed [within your business].]

(4) Limitations of liability

[The information on this website is provided free-of-charge, and] you acknowledge that it would be unreasonable to hold us liable in respect of this website and the information on this website.

Whilst we endeavour to ensure that the information on this website is correct, we do not warrant its completeness or accuracy; nor do we commit to ensuring that the website remains available or that the material on the website is kept up-to-date.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law we exclude all representations, warranties and conditions (including, without limitation, the conditions implied by law of satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose and the use of reasonable care and skill).

3. The scope of the licence to use will vary with the site. Consider carefully exactly what your users should be allowed to do with your website and material on your website. The licence is designed for text and still images.

4. This proposed anti-commercial clause is widely drawn, and the exact scope of the exclusion should be carefully considered.

5. Where you have content which is specifically available for redistribution, it is usually a good idea to have a more detailed licence setting out the redistribution rights.

6. This is a very broad exclusion of liability and the courts could hold elements of it unenforceable (particularly if you are seeking to exclude liability in relation to something which a user has paid for). For this reason, liability for paid-for goods and services should be governed by distinct terms and conditions.

Our liability is limited and excluded to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. We will not be liable for any direct or indirect loss or damage arising under these terms and conditions or in connection with our website, whether arising in tort, contract, or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing exclusion, we will not be liable for any loss of profit, contracts, business, goodwill, data, income, revenue or anticipated savings arising under terms and conditions or in connection with our website, whether direct or indirect, and whether arising in tort, contract, or otherwise.

However, nothing in these terms and conditions shall exclude or limit our liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

[(5) Restricted access

[Access to certain areas of our website is restricted.] We reserve the right to restrict access to [other] areas of our website, or indeed our whole website, at our discretion.

If we provide you with a user ID and password to enable you to access restricted areas of our website or other content or services, you must ensure that that user ID and password is kept confidential. You accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your user ID or password.

7. You must not use our website to copy, publish or send mass mailings or spam.

8. This section should be included if your website or parts of your website have restricted access – e.g. a password-protected area for members.

This section should be included if your website has a bulletin board, chat room, comments feature, or similar user generated content functionality. You will need to think carefully about, first, the restrictions you propose to place upon users and, second, the terms of the licence which the user grants to you.

You must not use our website to copy, publish or send material which is illegal or unlawful, or material which could give rise to legal action under English and other applicable law. All material you copy, publish or send via our website must not be defamatory, obscene, indecent, hateful, discriminatory or inflammatory; such material must not infringe any person’s intellectual property rights or rights of confidence, impinge upon any person’s privacy, or constitute incitement to commit a crime[; further, material must not be misleading, deceptive, sexually explicit, threatening, abusive, harassing or menacing.]

We reserve the right to edit or remove any material posted upon our website.

We may take such action as we deem appropriate to deal with the posting of unsuitable material, including suspending or cancelling your account, restricting your access to our website, or commencing legal proceedings against you.

11. This section can be deleted where The Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 (aka the Ecommerce Regulations) do not apply. Generally, the Regulations will apply unless a website is entirely non-commercial - i.e. where a website does offer any goods or services and does not involve any remuneration (which includes remuneration for carrying AdSense or other advertising).

13. The Ecommerce Regulations provide that “where the provision of the service is subject to an authorisation scheme” you must provide “the particulars of the relevant supervisory authority”.

14. The Ecommerce Regulations provide that where “the service provider exercises a regulated profession”, it must provide “(i) the details of any professional body or similar institution with which the service provider is registered; (ii) his professional title and the member State where that title has been granted; (iii) a reference to the professional rules applicable to the service provider in the member State of establishment and the means to access them”.

15. The Ecommerce Regulations provide that “a service provider shall indicate which relevant codes of conduct he subscribes to and give information on how those codes can be consulted electronically”.

16. Include this information if the website is owned by company or a limited liability partnership.
