The legal framework
Understanding the law behind a website terms of use helps you use it well. Here is the key UK legislation that applies:
Frequently asked questions
Are website terms legally binding?
They can be, if visitors are given reasonable notice and the terms are accessible, ideally accepted at sign-up.
Do I also need a privacy policy?
Yes, if you collect personal data. Terms of use and a privacy policy serve different purposes and you typically need both.
