eCommerce Website Terms of Service // eCommerce website terms service template

Your Terms of Service (or ecommerce terms and conditions) is a contract between you and your customer. Customers need to agree to your terms to browse your site, make purchases, or use any of your services. By laying the code of conduct for your site and how visitors interact with it, your terms give you legal cover in the case of any disputes which might arise. Although it does not matter what you sell on your platform, you should make sure you are protected against any surprises, such as misuse of your site or plagiarized content. By law, it is not needed to have e-commerce terms and conditions. However, we highly recommend having one to protect your rights.

Furthermore, transparency on how you operate can be key to your relationship with your customers. Having well-crafted T&C could well be the difference between your customer choosing you over a competitor.

These Terms of Service have been tailored to suit South African law.
