It's no surprise that a Terms of Use is an extremely important legal agreement for any website or mobile app, regardless of the platform used:
- Your own hosted website
- WordPress
- Squarespace
- GoDaddy
- Wix
- Apple Apps
- Google Apps
- And many more
Even though a Terms of Use agreement is not currently required by any laws, third-parties such as Facebook and Google may require one. And, even if not required, having a Terms of Use comes with excellent benefits for both you and your users, such as:
- You can maintain control over your website and how it can be used
- Users are aware of what's expected from them, as well as what they can expect from you
- Users can learn important information in any Disclaimers you include within the Terms of Use
In addition to having the Terms of Use drafted and displayed on your website, it's important to get proper consent from users when they agree to your legal policies.
