Terms of Use
Legal Disclaimer
The content provided here constitutes only general and professional explanations and information regarding the creation of terms of use. Since the specific conditions that should be established between your business and your customers and visitors cannot be known in advance, this content should not be relied upon as legal advice or recommendations.

Terms of Use – General Principles
These Terms of Use (hereinafter referred to as the “Terms”) are legally binding rules established by you, the website owner. The Terms define the legal boundaries governing the activities of website visitors or customers when they visit or engage with the website. They are also intended to establish the legal relationship between website visitors and the website owner.
Terms of service should be tailored to the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, websites that provide goods to customers through e-commerce require different terms of service than websites that only provide information (such as blogs or landing pages).
Terms of Service provide you, as the website owner, with the ability to protect yourself from potential legal risks. However, as this may vary by jurisdiction, we strongly recommend seeking local legal advice when seeking protection from legal risks.
Items to be included in the Terms of Use
Generally, terms of service specify the following: identification of the website's target users, payment methods, the website owner's right to modify future service content, the website owner's warranties to customers, references to intellectual property rights and copyrights, and the website owner's authority regarding suspension or cancellation of member accounts.
