algemene voorwaarden
Een juridische disclaimer
De uitleg en informatie op deze pagina zijn slechts algemene uitleg en informatie op hoog niveau over hoe u uw eigen document met Algemene voorwaarden kunt schrijven. U mag dit artikel niet gebruiken als juridisch advies of als aanbeveling over wat u eigenlijk moet doen, omdat we niet van tevoren kunnen weten wat de specifieke voorwaarden zijn die u tussen uw bedrijf en uw klanten en bezoekers wilt vastleggen. Wij raden u aan juridisch advies in te winnen om u te helpen uw eigen Algemene Voorwaarden te begrijpen en om u te helpen bij het opstellen van uw eigen Algemene Voorwaarden.
Algemene voorwaarden - de basis
Having said that, Terms and Conditions (“T&C”) are a set of legally binding terms defined by you, as the owner of this website. The T&C set forth the legal boundaries governing the activities of the website visitors, or your customers, while they visit or engage with this website. The T&C are meant to establish the legal relationship between the site visitors and you as the website owner.
T&C should be defined according to the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, a website offering products to customers in e-commerce transactions requires T&C that are different from the T&C of a website only providing information (like a blog, a landing page, and so on).
T&C provide you as the website owner the ability to protect yourself from potential legal exposure, but this may differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so make sure to receive local legal advice if you are trying to protect yourself from legal exposure.
Wat u in het algemene voorwaarden-document moet opnemen
Generally speaking, T&C often address these types of issues: Who is allowed to use the website; the possible payment methods; a declaration that the website owner may change his or her offering in the future; the types of warranties the website owner gives his or her customers; a reference to issues of intellectual property or copyrights, where relevant; the website owner’s right to suspend or cancel a member’s account; and much much more.
