Terms and Conditions
Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are a set of legal terms defined by a website owner. They set out the terms and conditions that govern the activities of visitors and the relationship between visitors and the website owner.
Terms should be set according to the specific needs and nature of each site. For example, a site that offers products to customers through e-commerce transactions needs to have terms that are different from those of a site that offers only information.
The terms give the website owner the ability to protect themselves in the event of potential legal exposure.
In general, what should be covered in the Terms and Conditions?
Who can use the site; what are the requirements for creating an account (if relevant)
Important commercial terms offered to customers
Payment methods (Credit/debit cards, PayPal, Boleto bancário, etc.)
Safeguarding the right to modify the offer
