Terms and conditions
Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are a set of legal terms defined by a website owner. They establish the terms and conditions that regulate the activities of visitors and the relationship between visitors and the website owner.
Terms must be established according to the specific needs and nature of each site. For example, a website that offers products to customers involving e-commerce transactions must have terms that are different from the terms of a website that only offers information.
The terms give the website owner the ability to protect themselves in the event of potential legal exposure.

-
Who can use the website; what are the requirements to create an account (if relevant)
