Do you need terms and conditions for your Squarespace website?

Often privacy laws, like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), require you to have a privacy policy listed on your website if you handle personal data.

That’s not the case when it comes to terms and conditions (or terms of service) — there’s no requirement for you to publish these, or guidelines on what they need to include. 

However, publishing your terms and conditions on your website or online store makes it easier for you to: 

• Communicate your responsibilities and requirements
• Set out what you expect from your users and customers
• Cover warranties and statements that limit liability 
• Demonstrate transparency about how you operate
• Create a binding agreement between you and your users
• Establish a reference point for any legal disputes

Think of your terms and conditions as a key legal document that outlines your ownership and gives you protection over what you publish on your website. With our free generator it only takes a few minutes to create your terms, so it’s worth investing in.
