Protecting Your Business with Terms & Conditions
As an art studio, it is important to have a clear and concise set of Terms & Conditions (“T&C”) that outlines the legal boundaries governing the activities of our visitors, clients, and customers. Our T&C document is meant to establish a legal relationship between us as the art studio owner and those who visit or engage with our website or services. It is important to note that our T&C should be defined according to the specific needs and nature of our art studio, and may differ from other types of businesses. ​ Our T&C document provides us with the ability to protect ourselves from potential legal exposure, and may include issues such as: who is allowed to use our art studio and services; our payment methods and policies; our right to change our offerings in the future; our warranties and guarantees; our intellectual property and copyrights; our right to suspend or cancel a member’s account; and more. We highly recommend that our clients and customers take the time to read our T&C document thoroughly before engaging with our art studio. ​ To learn more about our T&C document and how it protects our business, please contact us directly.
Terms & Conditions - the basics
Having said that, Terms and Conditions (“T&C”) are a set of legally binding terms defined by you, as the owner of this website. The T&C set forth the legal boundaries governing the activities of the website visitors, or your customers, while they visit or engage with this website. The T&C are meant to establish the legal relationship between the site visitors and you as the website owner.
​
T&C should be defined according to the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, a website offering products to customers in e-commerce transactions requires T&C that are different from the T&C of a website only providing information (like a blog, a landing page, and so on).
​
T&C provide you as the website owner the ability to protect yourself from potential legal exposure, but this may differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so make sure to receive local legal advice if you are trying to protect yourself from legal exposure.
What to include in the T&C document
Generally speaking, T&C often address these types of issues: Who is allowed to use the website; the possible payment methods; a declaration that the website owner may change his or her offering in the future; the types of warranties the website owner gives his or her customers; a reference to issues of intellectual property or copyrights, where relevant; the website owner’s right to suspend or cancel a member’s account; and much much more.
