Your website may have user generated content (UGC) in forums, blogs, comments, or you may even ask your website users to upload their own music, videos, pictures and other digital creations. If you don’t use a platform-based website (like for example ning, which has its own terms and conditions), then you’ll need to consider a set of terms and conditions that reflect your website’s inclusion of UGC. Together with our IP partners Own-IT, we have come up with a set of example Terms and Conditions, and introductory guidance notes for how to use them.
Please do consult a lawyer if you’re unsure about the suitability of these T&Cs for your own website.
Thanks for posting this! Can I really use these example Terms and conditions for our website for free? It wouldn’t violate any copyrights or other laws?
Yes!
