No matter if you are running affiliate sites, business site, review site or any other type of website, you need to make sure that your website has Legal Pages. it is a business necessity to have these Legal pages
Legal pages for websites include things like:
Terms and Conditions of Use
Many websites include a terms and conditions of use document on their site. This explains what actions are allowed and disallowed while using the website. You can include things like:
Keep in mind that while these terms and conditions can be very popular with website owners, except in the case of registration, they can be very difficult to enforce. There have not been a lot of test cases to determine whether deep linking or using content in aniframe is a copyright violation or otherwise illegal. And while taking images and content is a copyright violation, you have to find them first before you can go after them.
But if your site uses a forum, blog comments, or other user submitted content, you should strongly consider having a terms of use document.
Who owns the content and what you can do to get permission to use it
Privacy Policies
Privacy policies are one legal page that any site that collects any type of information from their customers should have. A privacy policy should cover:
It's very important to include a copyright notice on all of your Web pages.
But that doesn't mean that you need a specific page about your copyright. Most sites that have a specific page about their copyright do so because the copyright is complicated. For example, while we don't have a specific page, There are also other pages on my site that have different copyright ownership details. But since abc Company is a partner in all the pages, they just save time by putting an all-enclusive copyright notice at the bottom of all pages:
©2010 xyx.com, a part of ABC Company.
Disclaimers
Disclaimers are like a simplified version of a terms and conditions document. They are used on sites where there is a lot of user submitted content that isn't moderated by the site owners or where there are a lot of links to external pages.
Accessibility Information
Many government sites are required to be accessible. And one feature of an accessible site is to have access keys to various parts of the pages. Adding an accessibility key can be helpful so that new customers know what keys do what on your site. Accessibility information pages can also include links to contact pages when a page is inaccessible or help finding alternatives for things like videos or audio streams.
Complaints or Feedback Pages
While these aren't really legal pages, they can be useful, especially for sites that get a lot of customer interaction. Feedback links can help customers by giving them a place to complain before they go to a lawyer, thus reducing legal issues.
Patents, Trademarks, and other Corporate Policies
If your website or company has relevant patents and trademarks, you should have a page that details them. And if there are other corporate policies that you want your customers to know about, you should have pages for them as well.
User Contribution
Any User Contribution you post to the site will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. By providing any User Contribution on the Site, you grant us and our affiliates and service providers, and each of their and our respective licensees, successors and assigns the right to use, reproduce, modify, perform, display, distribute and otherwise disclose to third parties any such material for any purpose.
