Terms of use of the website
The website's terms of use ("Terms") are a set of legal provisions set out by the website owner. They contain terms and conditions governing the activity of visitors to a given website and the relationship between users and the website owner.
The terms must be tailored to the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, a website that offers products to customers via e-commerce requires Terms and Conditions that will be different from the Terms and Conditions of an information-only website.
The terms and conditions protect the website owner from potential legal risks.
